As human beings, there are just some things that seem to bring us all together with the same sense of irritation. Here are a few of those annoying things that make my list. I'm sure at least some, if not most, of them make yours as well. If you can think of any more relatable annoyances that I've missed, feel free to comment on this article and let me know!

1. Realizing there's no more toilet paper when it's already too late.

...Happens to the best of us.

2. Making a cup of coffee in the morning and forgetting it in the car.

..This can turn the best of days into the worst.

3. Pushing doors that say pull.

...Come on, we've all done it

4. When you hear people chew.

...I imagine beating you over the head every time I hear you chomp down on that chip!

5. When it's really quiet in a room and you hear that one person breathing like they just ran a marathon.

...Or maybe you just ran up two flights of stairs to get to class, we'll never know.

6. Grabbing a chocolate chip cookie, only to realize it's actually oatmeal raisin.

...Unless you actually like oatmeal raisin, then it's a win-win.

7. Getting comfortable in bed and then realizing you forgot to pee/turn off the light.

...To deal or not to deal, that is the question.

8. That one aunt/uncle that just always gives you that creepy vibe.

...This can make family parties a dread.

9. When your teacher makes you buy a textbook that you never even crack open.

...Sure, next time I'll just hand you my money and you can toss it directly into the garbage!

10. Continuing to open and reopen the fridge until the food that you want magically makes its way in there.

...Maybe if I walk away and come back it will work.

11. Walking into a room and then automatically forgetting why you went in there.

...And having to leave the room in order to remember.

12. People that drive without using their blinker.

..Left, right, straight?! Where ya goin' pal??

13. When you have really slow wi-fi.

...Loading...Loading...Loading....ugh.

14. People who feel the need to scream into their phones as if the other person can't hear them.

...If you'd just speak into the phone like a regular human this would be a better experience for us all.

15. The world's obsession with the Kardashian/Jenner families.

...Still don't see what the hype is all about.

25. Celebrities that are obviously lip-syncing.

...Cough, Maria Carey, cough.

26. How you need a scissor to get the scissor out of its package.

...Paradox.

27. When people text using that stupid "voice text" function.

...Please just text with your hands. I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say.

28. Telling someone you can't hear them, so they use the same exact volume and just repeat what they said.

...Why are you like this???

40. People that talk during the movie.

...No, I can't explain this part to you because I can't hear it as you're blabbing in my ear!

41. People that decide to engage in conversation right in the middle of the hallway/sidewalk.

...Well, screw my feelings, right?

43. People that pop their significant others pimples.

...This will never be endearing.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
