1. When you try to give yourself a digital makeover and you end up with no neck

This is not good. You were just trying to give yourself a little chin augmentation.

Solution: Revert quickly to “original” and try again, or go back to digital makeover school.

2. People who put the toilet paper roll on the wrong way

This is primeval; even prehistoric humans got upset about this. And, by the way, you know perfectly well which way is wrong — and it’s not a matter of preference or perspective either.

Solution: Some things are just plain objectively, empirically very very wrong. Turn the toilet paper roll around immediately and get a lock for the bathroom door.

3. The bass clef

The bass clef was invented by cruel musicians in a distant past to confuse me and millions of other innocent people.

Solution: Snub the base clef completely, although it will make learning the piano a bit more challenging.

4. Planes that can’t take off due to technical failures

“I’m sorry folks. The plane is experiencing a technical failure of the hydraulic system. We’ll be taking off as soon as we get a new part.”
