11 Small Things That Can Completely Ruin Your Day

Have you ever had a great start to your day, only to have the rest of it totally RUINED by something that SHOULD be relatively insignificant?

You know, those days when you wake up 20 minutes early so you can have a little caffeinated “me time” at your favorite coffee shop before work? Yep, it’s a nice little reward…

…until you pull into the crowded lot and find that a car is taking up the last two parking spaces, like the one at the top of this very post.

It’s an aggravating situation–and a piss-poor way to start the day if you ask us! Sometimes, we are able to let these things go, but other times…well…we just can’t! Instead of taking a breath and reminding ourselves that we should be grateful for our “first world problems,” we start noticing even MORE small things to ruin our day even further.

Here are 11 things that can completely ruin our day–and probably yours, too!

  1. When your kid starts crying after you cut their bagel in half

    The irony here is that they ALWAYS want you to cut it in half. Until, they suddenly don’t. And then they feel the need to cry about it. Ugh.

  2. When you spot an ALMOST perfect house with a tragic design flaw

    Do you see this one? Hint: it has to do with the positioning of the driveway and the garage

  3. When you wear your favorite white ensemble on a nice day out, only to realize your underwear is the main attraction

    There’s nothing worse than noticing this wardrobe malfunction when you’re miles away from home. Just remember, ladies, seamless panties are your friends!

  4. When the oven is the Sahara on one side, and Siberia on the other

    Looks like it’s time for someone to make use of their oven’s warranty plan!

  5. When you take your kiddos to eat at the new restaurant in town, and you’re met with THIS sign

    It seems like a great idea…until it’s YOUR loud kids that are getting kicked out of the dining room!

  6. When your houseguest makes a sticky, cheesy omelet in your perfectly-seasoned cast iron skillet

    Or, rice, cinnamon rolls, delicate fish, and pasta sauce, for that matter!

  7. When your pushy feline photobombs your fruit-themed Instagram post

    It WOULD be cute. If she weren’t making that horrific face

  8. Or, when your dog just HAS to accompany you to the bathroom

    This scenario might seem like an endearing one, but having a dog at your feet while you’re trying to pee can give you a serious case of shy bladder syndrome!

  9. When your glowy eye makeup looked goregous in the mirror…

    …until you blinked in front of the camera. The results were bone-chilling.

  10. When you get a call from your second-grader’s exasperated teacher

    Have you ever tried to admonish your 7-year-old when they were TECHNICALLY correct? Good luck with that!

  11. When THIS pops up the night before your cousin’s wedding

    Luckily, there is a way to kill these pimples before they “kill” you!

We’d love to hear your thoughts on these complete day-ruiners! Which one irks you the most? Can you think of any other scenarios you’d like to add to the list? How do you get yourself to stop sweating the small stuff?
