Friday Five | Things That Make Me Irrational

Happy Friday!

I'm usually a fairly calm person.  It normally takes a lot to shake me up.  There are a few things that make me crazy and irrational, though, & here they are:

1.  The Self Checkout:  I try to skip over as much interaction with that thing as possible.  I skip the language & start scanning my things.  Then, when I'm done, I just start shoving my money in to skip over all that payment talk too.  There are only so many shortcuts I can do, though, & before I know it, that thing is screaming at me.  I know that I need to take my items & my money, just give me a minute, ok?

2.  Heated Seats:  Probably more of a #firstworldproblem than anything else, but heated seats in a car make me irrational.  I know that the settings on the seat are a timer & not the heat level, but that doesn't stop me from cranking that stuff all the way up all the time.  I have to say that having the heated seats on all the time is an incredibly terrible idea.  I once burned myself on a long road trip because I couldn't let the heat seat go.

3.  Hair Dye:  This isn't really a problem for me anymore since I haven't dyed my hair in about 2 years, but when I used to dye my hair, it made me irrational.  I know that hair grows from the roots, but that didn't stop me from picking the darkest hair color possible so I wouldn't have any roots.  The funny thing was, when I used to dye my hair, by the end of the month, my hair would just turn back to a shade that was sort of close to my natural color anyway, so I didn't really need to pick a darker shade.

4.  Vending Machines:  I’m the crazy lady hitting my soda selection like 456,054,096,590 times before the pop actually dispenses.  Yes, I realize that it only takes one time, but I'm still over there pressing & pressing that button.

5.  Elevators:  Pretty much the same thing as vending machines.  I realize it takes one time, but I'm over there pressing the 'down' button.  I also find myself giving it a courtesy press for every new person that comes up.

What are some things that make you irrational?
