10 frustrating things that ONLY happen when you're in a hurry
AS THE OLD saying goes “things are sent to try you” and you’ll never appreciate that saying more than when you’re in a hurry to get somewhere.
The feeling of sheer frustration, panic and fear builds as the world begins to close in upon you, throwing every little injustice it can at you from the moment you take that first step out the door.
Here are just a selection of frustrating things that ONLY ever happen when you really need them NOT to:
