There are some things in life that we expect to be hard going in, and so we’re pretty accepting when that’s how it goes. Other things are as simple as we expect, and others we think are going to be rougher than they turn out to be (those are the best).
On the opposite end of the spectrum are the things we think are going to be easy, or at least, not too hard – but they end up to be downright taxing.
Here are 18 perfect examples – just a head’s up for next time.
18. You can be a hero.
Clearing a jam from the office copy machine.
17. And we dearly want it to be simple.
Installing a printer.
I don’t want your 15 other garbage apps, HP.
I just want to print my essay.
16. Use those muscles.
Opening that one jar that even the strong friend can’t open.
I just wanted some jam.
15. Not talking to a human!
Canceling any type of subscription.
My family got a roku and we cancelled Dish and they went crazy.
My mom called to cancel and they begged and offered to cut the price in half for a year.
45 minute phone call just to say i don’t want the subscription anymore.
14. You can feel this in your soul.
Finding motivation,
13. It’s no easy feat.
Killing mosquitos.
F*cking annoying pieces of h%ll.
12. Amen to that.
losing weight.
it feels like it goes on fast and takes blood sweat and tears to come off.
11. You attach your resume and then have to enter your work history WHY.
Applying for jobs having to type out your resume 2 times and submit your formal resume and then doing this over and over for every job you apply for.
Please upload your cv. Okay now please get to the next page where you copy paste directly from the cv. Now fill in in this section on why you’re excited by the prospect of working here. So now you’ve been selected for a phone interview, tell us everything in your cv. Great phone interview so now you have an in person interview but we haven’t read anything in your application, so why don’t you explain your cv in great detail for us.
Dude, it’s two pages, font size 12 with double spacing, I spent 6 hours writing the damn thing, please take 2 minutes to read it.
10. No pain no gain.
Starting a serious exercise routine.
Like you’re giving your body literally what it needs to be healthy and it pays you leaving you semi crippled for weeks.
9. It shouldn’t be that hard.
Falling asleep.
Staying asleep.
8. It’s the whole realtor thing.
I might be wrong, but I don’t feel like buying a house should be all that complicated.
We’ve just started the process of looking and I already feel overwhelmed.
7. Easy peel stickers exist. Use them!
Peeling stickers, why can’t they just come off smoothly?
6. Reality check, please.
Entry level job applications
Currently have a great job in IT.
But 8 years experience in my field and when I see the job postings for lower tier people than I am they ask for more than I know.
It’s crazy.
5. Maybe they’re paid by the hour.
Insurance.
And when you call someone that works there to help understand better, they act like all of this legal jargon should just be common sense and you’re an idiot for not knowing.
4. They do that on purpose.
Getting unwanted apps off my phone.
Disabling OneDrive on Windows 10.
I don’t want it on. It’s full, all it does is bi*ch about being full, and make it where when I click on my images in my regular folder, I can’t see their icons.
3. Kindergarten fail.
Cutting in a straight line with scissors.
I’m 21 and still somehow fail to do this.
2. It makes me want to cry.
Getting out of bed in the morning.
Trying to find a good reason is just too hard.
1. Without being rude.
Ending a conversation just because you don’t feel like socializing anymore.
All I do is when I want the conversation to end, I wait for dead air and say, “Well, I’ll let you be”
Works almost every time! Try it!
Man, I totally agree with many of these!
