12 everyday situations that are actually unbelievably stressful
LIFE CAN BE stressful enough as it is.
But these things? They only make it worse.
1. Trying to keep up with the speed of revolving doors
2. When you’re sitting in the window seat of the bus and you need to be let out…
But the person in the aisle seat is listening to music on their headphones and they can’t sense you need to get out? Fantastic.
3. When your phone battery gets below 20% and you’re out and about
4. Struggling for small talk at the hairdresser/barber
At least taxi drivers can complain about other taxi drivers/being a taxi driver/taxis if there’s no other small talk to be had.
But hairdressers?
5. When you’re on Facebook/Twitter and you get a new follower/friend request
Do you follow back/accept immediately? Does that seem too needy/psycho? Are you too coy if you leave it for a day?
The stress of it all.
6. When you’re at an unfamiliar coffee shop/café
Whoops!

All you can do is pray that nobody saw you stop in your tracks in the middle of the road and turn back around. And that you find out where the hell you’re going.
