If You Can't Finish This Super Annoying Quiz, You're Way Too Uptight

The fact is, life in the 21st century can get pretty stressful... and honestly, it gets more and more stressful all the time. Amidst the bustle of work, school, social life, and even your alone time, it seems like the world is packed full of little annoyances that are seemingly created just to piss us off. Traffic is one thing. But then, add that to the annoyances of a computer crashing, a cell phone losing all of our files, or standing in line at a grocery store for ten minutes? If it were just one thing a day, it'd be easier to handle, but every day seems packed with thousands of minor (or major) annoyances.

How well do you tolerate the noise? Are you the sort of person who can easily tune out the bothersome parts of life... or are you the sort of person who gets easily annoyed by little inconsistences, things not working right, or weird little problems? It's time to see just how easily annoyed you are. Coming right up is a list of annoying things that you may just relate to. Get yourself ready for the single most annoying quiz ever, and find out for sure, Are You Too Easy to Bother? 

Question 1

When the tip of your pencil breaks.

You spent a long time sharpening that pencil... well, only a few seconds, but still. You write with it for a little bit, clean and pristine letters flowing from the graphite... and then, the tip breaks. Are you equipped to handle such an infuriating scenario, or does it set you off?

Question 2

The hot water runs out.

You've had a hard day at work, busting your butt, and when you finally get home, all you want to do is hop into a nice, warm shower and relax. But after you've climbed in and lathered up your hair with shampoo... the hot water runs out, so you're stuck having a cold shower.

Question 3

When your book is filled with someone else's notes.

Sometimes you take a book out of the library--or even worse, you buy a used copy on Amazon--and when you bring it home, you find out that the entire book is filled with someone's little notes, highlights, circles, and drawings. Does this send you into a rage, or do you find it amusing?

Question 4

Wet socks

Sometimes you're just walking around inside, minding your own business, only to accidentally step into a puddle of water from a leaky refrigerator. Other times you're rushing through the rain, hoping against hope that your socks won't get wet, but the leaks in your shoes don't save you. How annoying do you find this?

Question 5

When you set your cell phone alarm, but forget to turn it off "vibrate."

You know that you have to get up in the morning, and early. So you're prepared. You're ready. You set the alarm on your cellphone for 7am, and go to bed... only to wake up at 9am. What happened?! Turns out that you forgot to switch your cell phone off of "vibrate" mode, so it didn't wake you up.

Question 6

When one of the light switches is wrong.

You know what we're talking about. Light switches are supposed to go UP when they're on, and DOWN when they're turned off, right? But there's always that one sneaky little devil, that one light switch that is always pointing the opposite direction of the others. Don't you just hate that light switch so much?

Question 7

When people repeat your own stories back to you.

Maybe you said a clever joke. Maybe you informed someone of some really interesting factual information that they didn't know before, or maybe you gently corrected them on something. But then, a couple months later, this same person tells your story to YOU, as if they don't remember you telling it to them, thus robbing you of all the credit. Is there anything more infuriating?

Question 8

When someone calls their basement "the garage," or vice-versa.

Why oh why do people do this? Yes, in all fairness, we get it. Both a basement and a garage are traditionally used for storage of old cardboard boxes, and both often get a bit dingy. But sometimes, people use the terms "garage" and "basement" interchangeably, as if they're the same thing. Do you find that annoying?

Question 9

The sound of nails on a chalkboard

This sound is so widely hated that the phrase "nails on a chalkboard" has itself become synonymous with anything that sounds terrible. But when someone DOES scratch their fingernails against a chalkboard, on the hopefully rare instances where such a thing occurs, how do you feel about it? Does it bother you that much?

Question 10

Loading...please wait....

You just want to watch this damn video, or play this game, or see the picture that your friend sent you. But due to a poor internet connection, old hardware, or what have you, you get stuck with this screen instead. How long can you watch the loading bar before you go totally crazy?

Question 11

People who chew with their mouth open.

Why do people do this?! It's like they want everyone to see every fiber of the food in their mouth! There's nothing that can kill an appetite faster, right? It's so gross, isn't it? Or maybe you don't think so... or maybe you're one of the people who does this. Let us know!

Question 12

Backseat driving.

All you want to do is get to your destination safe and sound. But then, you pick up your friend or family member on the way... and all that they do is whine, groan, and criticize your driving the entire way. Can you ignore this, or does it drive you right up a wall?

Question 13

Dirty fingernails.

You know, it happens, and it probably shouldn't be a big deal. If you're working in the garden, fixing your car, or making some artwork, it's highly likely that the little space under your fingernails might get a bit dirty. Some people actually like this, but others go crazy trying to scrub their nails clean. What about you? Do you care about it?

Question 14

When food gets stuck between your teeth.

You're out for lunch with your friends, and suddenly, you notice that a bit of food is stuck between your teeth. You try to pry it loose with your tongue, but it won't budge. Since you're probably not carrying floss on you at all times, getting the piece of food out without showing anyone will take some careful maneuvering.

Question 15

Old toothbrushes that should have been thrown away by now.

Every toothbrush has a lifespan, during which it's still useful. However, there's a certain point where a toothbrush is so worn out, with frayed bristles everywhere, that it really own deserves a garbage can, particularly considering that brushes are only $1. How much does it annoy you to see brushes in this sort of worn out condition?

Question 16

When the tiles don't line up.

Tiles are a really pleasing geometric pattern for any surface, satisfying to all perfectionists out there... except when the tiles don't line up. Uneven tiles can drive a sane person to madness. What is this, some madman's sick idea of a joke? Pure laziness? Or just an accident? You tell us how you feel about it.

Question 17

When your favorite character gets recast with a new actor.

You get so used to identifying a specific role with the actor that plays them... and then, out of nowhere--whether due to a behind the scenes scuffle, money issues, or what have you--the producers decide the recast the role. Whether this happens on TV, or on the big screen, how do you feel about it?

Question 18

When the bread in the toaster doesn't pop out right.

This especially happens with nasty old toasters. You put some bread, bagels, or English muffins into the toaster, let them cook, and then they finish...but the toaster BARELY nudges them up, meaning you have to reach inside to pull them out, or hold the whole thing upside down. Is this a big deal to you?

Question 19

A crooked toilet seat.

It sounds minor, in theory, but let's face it, you spend a LOT of your life on the toilet. Usually, toilet seats are pretty serviceable, if not necessary the most comfy. But sometimes, a toilet seat is crooked, off-kilter, going a little bit too much to the side. How much does this irritate you?

Question 20

People who pretend to know something, but really don't.

You know this person. They're the one that say they're a big fan of a popular TV show, but then get a major character's name wrong. Or maybe they're the person who lectures you about something, but their facts can so easily be disproved by a quick Google search. Does this person bug you?

Question 21

Mismatched clothing patterns.

No, you shouldn't wear stripes next to spots! Oh god, please don't wear the Hawaiian shirt beneath a flannel jacket, and definitely not with leopard print yoga pants! Some people seem to love mismatched, clashing patterns, though. What is your take on them? Are you a fan, or do they drive you right up a wall?

Question 22

When someone adds you to a Facebook group or group chat without asking.

There you were, just minding your business, logging into Facebook... when suddenly, you get bombarded with sixteen billion updates at the same time, because someone just added you to a group -- or a group chat -- without even asking you! The nerve! The gall! Or do you like this kind of thing?

Question 23

Acne.

Back when you were a teenager, the world lied to you. Everyone said that all those zits and red spots were just a part of being young, and that they'd go away when you got older. But now, you ARE older, and you're still getting acne... particularly right before a date or job interview, without fail. How annoying is that?

Question 24

The direction of the toilet paper roll.

Maybe you're one of those righteous heroes, defending the fact that toilet paper should be hanging down over the top. Or maybe you're one of those edgy alternative folks, who prefers that toilet paper be hanging from the back, coming around from the bottom. Whatever your preference, how much does it bother you when go somewhere, and it's wrong?

Question 25

When the GPS acts up.

You're going somewhere you've never been before, so you plug the address into your GPS and closely follow its directions. But somehow, with no explanation, you end up on some bizarre back road, parked in someone's yard, or in the middle of a field somewhere. Why did the GPS do this to you, when it's supposed to have all the answers?!

Question 26

Spoilers.

Just like everyone else on the planet, you probably watch Game of Thrones, or maybe another popular show. You love the series, but you've been busy, so you're behind a few episodes. Suddenly, when you're talking to your friend, they completely SPOIL the big new plot twist at the end of the last episode, ruining the surprise for you.

Question 27

Your computer crashes.

On Windows, they used to call this the BSOD: the Blue Screen of Death. But it happens on every operating system, in some form or another, where the entire program crashes, ruining everything you've been doing, and probably requiring a total restart. What a bummer. What are your thoughts on this annoying occurrence?

Question 28

Dry, chapped hands

This might a habitual problem for you, or maybe it's something you're lucky enough to only encounter every now and again. But how much do you hate it when your hands get dry and chapped? Does this condition have you reaching for the nearest lotion bottle, A.S.A.P.? Or do you like the way it feels, for some reason?

Question 29

Rainy weather

Most people love a bright, sunny, warm day. It's great for picnics, sports, beach trips, suntanning, and even just a nice walk in the park. So what's more infuriating than a rainy day? Not much... unless you're a plant, a gardener, or one of those people who really, really likes rain. What are your feelings on so-called "bad weather?"

Question 30

Ghosting

"Ghosting" is what it's called when you're talking to someone -- maybe from a dating site, but it could also be a friend -- and the conversation is going good, you've got a nice back and forth... and then, they disappear. They stop responding, for seemingly no reason, no explanation, no apology. Do you hate ghosting... or are you a ghoster yourself?

Question 31

When the butter is too hard for the soft bread.

Bread and butter tastes so wonderful, doesn't it? A nice, simple pleasure, a universal appetizer. Except for when the butter is stiff and hard, and the bread is soft. This results in horrible scenarios like trying to spread the butter in an even layer, only to end up with hard clumps. Or, even worse, your attempts might break the bread entirely.

Question 32

Itchy clothing tags.

Oh man, this sucks. You just want to wear your nice new shirt, but the tag on it so crazy itchy that you can't pay attention to anything except how much it itches. Sure, you could rip it off--and if this annoys you enough, then maybe you DO rip it off. What's your feelings on these things?

Question 33

When you pour a bowl of cereal, only to find out there's no milk.

cereal lucky charms

Who likes a nice bowl of dry cereal? No one, that's who. Cereal goes with milk. The problem is, sometimes you pour yourself a nice full bowl of cereal, and just as your mouth is watering, you go into the fridge and find out that the milk is out. Gone. No milk, which means dry cereal. Even worse, maybe you just have a few drops of it, which is just a tease.

Question 34

A joke (or phrase) that's been repeated too often.

Hey, a good joke is a good joke. And hey, sometimes common phrases have a lot of wisdom to them. But for some people, nothing's worse than hearing a common phrase or oft-repeated joke that they've heard dozens, hundreds, or millions of times, to the point where it's now just a roaring cliché. Or maybe it's just as funny as it was the first time? Up to you.

Question 35

Forgetting someone's name.

If you meet a lot of people, it can sometimes be hard to retain the knowledge of their names. Maybe you're an adept master at it, as some people certainly are. Or maybe you forget names so often that you just don't care anymore. Or maybe, just maybe, you enjoy forgetting names: it makes a great guessing game! But if you DO forget someone's name, how do you feel about it?
