The most annoying voicemail you could ever receive is one where the caller speaks so quickly you can’t understand what they’re saying. At that point you end up having to call them back anyway just to figure out what they wanted. If you thought it was bad for you, think of how terrible it is for the older generations who have a hard time hearing as is.

There is a saying that goes, “work smarter, not harder”. It’s all about assessing the amount of work that faces you, and approaching it in a way that will help you finish the job in the most effective way possible. It’s sad to say, but many of the things we buy for seemingly unimportant tasks such as cleaning are not ‘made to last’ like they used to be. This increases your workload as you’re going to be stuck with a…

Having a rubber band can mean a myriad of things. It can keep you entertained, contain what would otherwise be messy items, and could also be a weapon (if you’re feeling malicious). There’s nothing quite as terrifying or suspenseful as someone holding a rubber band completely tense as it’s trained on you. While the impact isn’t painful, it is rather shocking.

If you sleep in a twin bed and need extra storage space, the easiest thing to do is raise your bed up a bit. There are risers that will hike up your bed, but if you’re all about multifunctionality, this one aspect likely isn’t enough. We could always use another outlet, so why not add a few on to these things since they’re taking up space anyway?

Few people will sit down and read a full book cover to cover. Nowadays it seems like attention spans are only as long as a YouTube video or magazine article. Thankfully, there are always ways to attract people back to reading. What’s the best way to do that you ask?

Can you imagine what a day without sight would be like? You wouldn’t know how to get through your house, couldn’t drive to work, and everyday tasks would seem like a massive undertaking. Think of how often you look at your phone to see what time it is, and how lost you would feel if you didn’t know what part of the day it was.

Stargazing is rather thought provoking. You think about your meaning in the grand scheme of things, whether or not you’re looking out and being looked at in return, and for the more star-savvy people, naming every star in the vast night sky. Through different parts of the year, we can see different constellations, but once we go home, it doesn’t matter if it’s night or day time, because you are definitely not going to see any stars.

One of the most annoying things during a workout is getting in the zone with your favorite music on, and having your ear buds fall out because you’re either too sweaty, or shook them out. Usually if it happens once, it’s bound to happen again. Should this be an issue you face, then you’re likely going to want to shop around for a new set of headphones that can handle your exercise routine.

We’ve all seen enough movies and TV shows to know what an ultraviolet light does. Having one of these feels like you’ve somehow gained access to a superpower, being able to see the unseen. Of course, this has plenty of practical purposes, but will probably be used to feed into your curiosity.

There are days when it sucks being an adult because you see a kids toy that looks amazing and know that it’s too small for you. Little cars that are reminiscent of Mario Kart are often the most interesting, but hardly any of them go fast enough to merit a real ‘race’. There are big versions of kids toys that can help you relive some fond memories, but those always cost an extraneous amount of money.

Keeping a fish is not nearly as intensive as having a cat or dog. You don’t really need to interact with them all that much other than to toss in some food. Of course, the lovely task of cleaning out their bowl comes up what feels like rather frequently, but there are ways to get around that.

Having a watch helps you tell time, but is not necessary to wear as we always go for our phones first. As this is one of the few socially acceptable accessories for men, it’s common for males to possess several of them. Some of the gentlemen I know seem to be a bit fanatical about them, wanting bigger, better time pieces that will both look impressive and tell the time.

It doesn’t matter how young or old you are. Drawing with sidewalk chalk is fun, and anyone who gives you a weird look is just jealous that they don’t have the confidence to doodle on the ground. While this artistic medium can be used to leave your mark in one place, don’t you wish that you could lay a trail of masterful pieces all over town?

What are some grand things I remember from my childhood? Playing with Barbie dolls (as well as G.I. Joe action figures because Ken was boring), and thinking Polaroid cameras were one of the coolest things to hit the planet. Nowadays finding one of those contraptions is a rather expensive endeavor. You would think that a Barbie version of this camera would be cheaper, but you’d be wrong.

Are you ever hit with the sudden urge to take a nap? Does it happen while you’re hiking? The beauty of nature can be so overwhelming that your brain just needs to shut off to take it all in (ok that doesn’t happen at all, but let’s roll with it anyway). Some of us can’t stand sleeping without having covering of some sort, but don’t always have access to a blanket. Of course, walking all the way back to the…
