My shower is too hot if you go 1/16th of an inch too left on the handle and too cold 1/16th the other way. Like hot tub versus polar plunge swing.

They need digital thermometers on shower handles. Mine is out of whack. I have to go all the way cold sometimes to not burn myself.

Was eating olives last night and two of them were missing pimentos. Luckily I found them in the bottom of the jar so I didn't have to go all "kung Fu" on somebody, but the anxiety I endured wrecked my evening as I pondered the possible scenarios I'd have to address to resolve this issue. I hope today goes better as I don't know if I could go through something like that again at least on such short notice.

My desk at work electronically converts into a standing desk and has presets for sitting/standing heights. However, the preset buttons don't automatically adjust the desk to those heights. You still have to hold the height adjuster as it moves. It just will stop the desk when it gets to the correct height.

When my car doesn't automatically unlock when i grab the handle since I have the fob in my pocket, or if it didn't lock automatically when I walked away and forgot, and accidentally lock it when I'm trying to get in. Real frustrating 3 seconds.

My wife is obsessive about not letting laundry build up, so she’s running it constantly. But I HATE the way she folds the clothes. And I can’t tell her because that would sound ungrateful.

My wife is constantly putting my polos and button down shirts on the hangers backwards (buttons face to the right, collars folded down) and then she mixes them in with my t-shirts/ flannel shirts in my closet. So I sheepishly reorganize in the cover of her absence.

This morning my mobile coffee app wouldn't take my new credit card number because of a "parsing error". I had to get coffee at the local gas station. FML!

I went to the gas station this morning and the credit card reader was down. I drove all the way across the street to another one, so I don’t have to go inside and talk to someone. Then I noticed the price was $.01 per gallon cheaper at the first one. So I wasted $.14 and one minute of my time.
That's 14 lost wishes in a wishing well. You'll never win the lottery now.
