Now, we’re all aware that no one is claiming that the world has to make sense, or even that it will. No one promised us that, yada yada, just like no one said life was going to be fair.
That said, some things really push the limits of what we can accept without comment, don’t you think?
These 17 people definitely do, so check out their grievances below!
17. It boggles the mind.
The Universe itself, at the most fundamental levels.
Our minds have been shaped to be able to understand the level of reality we deal with on a daily basis – our sensory input, cause and effect relationships that are reliable and logical, and a sense of time moving forward in a straight line. All of these ways of thinking hold up in our own reality and helped humans thrive and conquer our natural world, co-operate in groups and build complex societies and technology.
Yet none of these thinking tools can stretch to make any intuitive sense of the origins of the Universe for example, be it an infinite process with no beginning or having a start point that itself lacks a cause. We may never really grasp quantum levels of existence, and there may be other planes or aspects of the universe that our brain is just fundamentally too limited to be able to fathom.
16. Dreams are insane.
The act of dreaming, seeing things through your mind’s\psyche’s eye : images, sounds, patterns, movement, all of it.
I see it as something mysterious. Even if the answer to where they come from and what chemical reactions result in them is revealed, the formulation of the “dream experience” continues to be strange and makes no sense.
That said, it is so amazing!
15. Is it all grown up?
The concept of the universe having an age (that it hasn’t been around forever) makes no sense. But also the idea of the universe having been around forever makes even less sense. It’s the ultimate paradox.
I actually lose sleep over this. How did something just come into existence? Like, where does it end? Is it flat? Are there levels? What’s in between the planets? Just nothing? It hurts my brain.
14. Don’t think about it too hard.
The fact that I am a bunch of molecules and I know that bundle of molecules is me. But a rock is also a bundle of the exact same molecules, just in different combinations and it doesn’t know anything.
That makes no freaking sense at all.
13. Definitely falls under “not fair.”
Working 40-60 hours a week your whole life and still having trouble buying groceries.
12. Drives me nuts.
Why Do I See Some People Capitalizing Every Word in a Sentence? Seems Like a Waste of Time.
Even worse Is I Have friends who Capitalize words At Complete random.
11. Wow. Now I can’t understand it either.
Neckties.
How does this strip of fabric make me fancy?
10. It needs to stop.
Why the classic 40 hour, 5 day a week work week is still a thing for most desk jobs.
It seems like every few months/years there’s a study that comes out saying how no productivity is lost only working 4 days a week, yet here we are still working 5 days a week, only being productive for like 4 hours a day, and wasting our lives
9. It is kid of gross, from the outside.
Kids pageants. Most of them are forced by their parents, and it looks like an awful childhood/upbringing.
8. Science, man.
Magnets.
Like, I get water, air, fire, and Earth.
But Magnets? How do they work?
7. There might have been a few steps in between.
We had rocks, earth and water and now we’ve got Internet.
6. More rest, please.
Expected to work 5 days and rest only 2. If that.
My manager was saying to me the other day that he was going to have to do some work over the weekend. He just dropped it in casually, but seemed a bit regretful about it, like he’d rather not have to do it. The thing is that he always makes a point of checking that everyone is keeping up with their work ok, and shuffling things around if someone is stressed.
It makes me sad for him, but also grateful that I seem to have found the one manager in the world that is both competent and a decent human being, but then also worried that if I ever get to his level I will have to give up my weekends. It’s a complex feeling.
Long story short: I don’t feel like the weekend is anywhere near long enough as it is, and I don’t want to have to give up more of it to get on in life.
5. This made me laugh.
Why are most cartoon suns drawn wearing sunglasses? What exactly are they protecting their eyes from?
“Hey Uranus, you want some vitamin D”
finger guns
4. Faster, please!
Why it takes 3 business days to get my money back.
It takes 3 business days either direction. When you buy something at a store, it feels like the store gets your money instantly because you essentially lose it instantly from the credit/debit account.
However in reality the store has to wait a certain time before they actually receive the funds, something like 3 business days. When they return money the opposite happens, the store loses the money instantly, but you have to wait 3 business days before it arrives.
3. It’s counterproductive.
Abusing your employees. Underpaying them, harassing them, undermining them and not developing their talents only hurts you in the long run.
Building a company with a strong foundation of genuine human connection will foster unbelievably potent loyalty that you won’t need to scream in peoples faces that they aren’t hitting their targets.
2. It’s a nightmare.
Health insurance.
We’re paying hundreds of dollars a month and you refuse to pay for any of my healthcare visits?
Wtf?
And they choose not to pay for certain meds of mine.
Health insurance is a racket and I firmly believe that health insurance execs inhabit the lowest rungs of hell when they die.
1. The punishment shouldn’t be the same.
The fact you’re not allowed to defend yourself in school is some other kid is attacking you.
Maybe it’s different in other schools but in mine that is the case, and it’s dumb as heck.
I’m on board with these gripes, how about you?
What would you add to the list? Our comments are open!
