- The elevator stops on every floor and nobody gets on.

- You open a can of soup and the lid falls in.
- The tiny red string on the Band-Aid wrapper never works for you.
- There's a dog in the neighborhood that barks at EVERYTHING.
- You can never put anything back in a box the way it came.
- Three hours and three meetings after lunch you look in the mirror and discover a piece of parsley stuck to your front tooth.
- You slice your tongue licking an envelope.
- Your tire gauge lets out half the air while you're trying to get a reading.
- A station comes in brilliantly when you're standing near the radio but buzzes, drifts and spits every time you move away.
- There are always one or two ice cubes that won't pop out of the tray.
- You wash a garment with a tissue in the pocket and your entire laundry comes out covered with lint.
- The car behind you blasts its horn because you let a pedestrian finish crossing.
- A piece of foil candy wrapper makes electrical contact with your filling.

- People behind you on a supermarket line dash ahead of you to a counter just opening up.
- Your glasses slide off your ears when you perspire.
- You can't look up the correct spelling of a word in the dictionary because you don't know how to spell it.
- You have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're just browsing.

You decide to go to the beach on a hot sunny day. You cram down your lunch. It takes 5 minutes to get your swim suit on your sweaty body, 15 minutes to pack your things into your beach bag, 10 minutes to drive there, 10 minutes to set up your lounge chair and assorted gear, 5 minutes to smear yourself with lotion and 3 minutes to find a suitable station on your portable radio. You walk down to the water's edge, a big wind comes up, the sky darkens, claps of thunder and bolts of lightning fill the air. You drive home immediately, trying to see the road through the deluge on the windshield. Ten minutes after you're home and have changed clothes, the sun comes out and it's another beautiful day in Florida.

There's a dog in the neighborhood that barks at EVERYTHING. So true :-) A few years ago, a newly married couple moved into the house next door to me. With them , they brang their dog. They kept that dog confined to a small fenced off area on the side of their house (poor thing, they never played with him). My bedroom window overlooks that side of their house. The dog barked at anything and everything. After a year or two, they finally moved away and sold their house. The new owners brang with them a couple of dogs. Keeping them fenced in the same area as the previous owners. Those two dogs bred three more dogs. The new owners don't play with these dogs of theirs either. (just what is it about people that they get themselves dogs, but never bother to interact with the animals, show some affection, play with them, etc.?) These new dogs all, under my bedroom window, bark all day and night.

Both your hands are covered with barbeque sauce, and a fly lands on your nose.

You had that ______(insert item here) in your hand only a second ago and now you can't find it. That damned remote control! :-) Put it down for one second and it disappears on you! I swear, it's got a life of it's own! It sprouts little legs when I'm not looking, runs off and plays hide and seek with me.

There's always a car riding your tail when you're slowing down to find an address. The opposite is: You have to follow a car going 45 miles per hour for the last 3/4 miles before your freeway exit, because there is no opportunity to pass him.
And usually, the car will take the same exit, but at a much, much slower speed than is necessary.

While on the entrance ramp to the freeway and as you're looking left to ease into traffic, you look up to see an old person stopped just at the edge of the freeway in front of you.

When the too-slow car you've been following *finally* turns off the street, another too-slow car pulls in front of you to takes its place. And so on. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I swear these people are in cahoots somehow and they are in contact with each other so that the first one doesn't turn off until there is a replacement slow-poke available.

People behind you on a supermarket line dash ahead of you to a counter just opening up. While you are waiting to turn left into the empty fast-food drive-thru across the street, three vehicles from the other direction will suddenly decide that they (and several friends back at the office) are hungry too and get in line in front of you.
