11 Frustrating Occurrences That are Out of Our Control

Ever feel as if nothing is going your way? Good, because we all do and nearly everything that sends you over the edge of throwing a temper tantrum is similar to many others! Here are 11 times where frustration gets the better of us and causes a flipping out of some sort!

1. Traffic

UGH! Even just thinking about the early morning or rush hour traffic is just annoying.

2. Cell Phone Service

Dropped calls! No Internet! In today's day and age losing cell phone service is probably one of the orst things that can happen.

3. Telemarketers/Advertisements

Whether it be a 30 second ad before a Youtube video, or a telemarketer call you on your personal phone, advertisements can be the most inconveinent and time consuming things ever.

4. Batteries Dying

Right in the middle of the big game, a video game, or anything that involves batteries is the worst time! However you knew these batteries started to die when you started switching them around and trying to get the last juice.

5. Car Problems

Enough Said. It always seems to be the worst timing when the car starts to malfunction.

6. Plans Falling Through

When someone cancels plans it is as if an entire space of time is just gone. If you were excited about the plans, then this could be a seriously let down.

7. Mornings

Rolling out of bed in the morning is probably one of the most horrific things to witness. Although we all do it, we can all admit it can be frustrating from time to time.

8. Clickbaiting

A video draws you in with the thumbnail and while watching you notice that the thumbnail has nothing to do with the actual video! WHY WASTE MY TIME!

9. Pay Days

It is always on the worst day! Why did I not get paid yesterday when I needed money!

10. Computer Crashes, Word Document Does not Save

In college this may be the bane of my existence. Losing all of the saved writing and then venturing into the depths of the computer and still coming to the conclusion that the document is unobtainable is simply, the worst.

11. Waiting for the Next Episode

It is the season finale and you know it. After this episode it will be an entire year before the newest season! Once it is over, it is over.... The showhole exists!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
