Seven of the most frustrating — yet entirely non-deadly and harmless — daily experiences. Oh, and the solutions.
1. Song stuck in your head? Disturbed that said tune is by the Pussycat Dolls? Well, it’s no match for this. That’s right. You have my permission to get down.
2. That word on the tip of your tongue that you can’t find? Don’t worry! It’s “obfuscate.”
3. That person you went to elementary school with but WHAT WAS THEIR NAME? It’s Tyson. And yes, his head really was that big.
4. Person on the bus/train keeps brushing against you with their bag in such a way that you think someone is repeatedly touching your ass? Just imagine that it’s Ryan Reynolds. Or Jessica Alba. Or someone that you might not want to have a long, meaningful conversation with but DAAAAMN. Brush away.
5. Computer keeps crashing? Oh, okay.
6. Long lineup in the grocery store, and you’re in a huge hurry but you have 16 items, and the express line says 15 or less? Just tuck one of the items into the magazine rack until you’re just about to pay and then go, “Oh! And one of these.” BAM! NO ONE EVEN SAW IT COMING.
7. Huge clog in traffic? Well, just get someone with a giant foot to move it. (Get it? Clog? Sorry. I laughed really hard and I don’t know why.)
You’re welcome.

TYSON! It was right on the tip of my tongue. Thanks, Meg!

Oh wait, you’re right - it was “obfuscate.”

5. I’ll take the middle option, thanks.

#5? Ouch, Meg! ;-P
#6? Maybe an American/Canadian thing, but 16 is very close to 15. Who’s really counting, anyway? “Hey, you! Are you sure you didn’t miss one? Beside, I know what car you drive!”
Oh, sorry. Did I say that out loud, ma’am? :-)
