1. Taking the last of the sheets of toilet paper and not replacing it. If you don’t check before you are sitting down you have some choices to make. Some of these choices are as follows:

a. can I reach under the cabinet from the toilet?  

b. if  I reach too far will I fall off the toilet?

c. can I run into the hallway sans pants to retrieve the toilet paper without anyone seeing me?

d. how many rolls of toilet paper are in the house?

e. can I yell at someone from inside the bathroom to retrieve the toilet paper or are they too far away to hear me?

f. finally, can I risk not even using toilet paper? (I know but we must look at the option)

 2 . People who get out of the shower or tub tracking water on the floor so when you walk in with your socks on the socks get wet thereby dominating your freewill by forcing you to change them when you are already late for work. Even my description is annoying. I am annoyed at myself for even writing about this annoyance. 3.  Planning to get a late night bowl of cereal or a morning bowl of cereal only to realize that some milk thief has used the last of it and returned the container. The agony of pouring nothing into your bowl of frosted flakes is nothing short of a snack tragedy. Yes, you do look in the container as if the milk is hiding and you are going to see it and scream, “There you are now get out of there and into my bowl.”  I probably get angrier at this than anything in the world because I love cereal. The anticipation of sneaking downstairs wearing only my underwear in the middle of the night to molest a bowl of frosted flakes in the dark while I am watching Conan Obrien or the colon detox infomercial is dashed against the rocks of the empty carton. 4. I will refer to them as soap thieves and/or shampoo thieves. These are the people that use the bathroom before you and take your soap or shampoo because they are out but do not return it to your shower.  Thus, you are standing under the shower head ready to wash your hair and you turn to discover empty fiberglass staring at you. Then you have to get out of the shower like a naked Indiana Jones searching for your shampoo artifact unwittingly creating annoyance number 2. Therefore annoyance number 4 creates annoyance number 2 and ironically you have contributed to your own annoyances and because of this cruel Waiting for Godot moment you decide to kill yourself in the bathroom wearing only knee high black dress socks and an ill-fitting towel.  5. Taking one bite out of a doughnut and putting the defiled doughnut back in the box. I will confess my guilt of doing this. My reasoning is simply I want the pride of saying I did not eat another doughnut. Now that I write about it, I realize this egregious act is extremely annoying especially if it is the last doughnut. My wife and girls discovered this recently and they blamed each other. I eventually confessed but the whole scene was so Machiavellian that I relished in my secret doughnut sniper hit. You should also know that my wife’s keen desire for chocolate doughnuts was not deterred by the bite. She quickly deduced that it must have been one of the other three people in the house and she was willing to take the germ risk for that succulent treat. 6.
