  Sometimes I don't like the music the cab driver listens to on my ride to work.  :'(

It takes about a minute to get hot water out of the upstairs bathroom sink

Yes, but I also have to adjust the temperature even though I did it yesterday. :'(

You could buy more rack space, right?  But maybe then you'd have too much.  :'(

I don't currently have the space for more of these or these, unfortunately.

I use plastic shopping bags for rubbish. Lately, when they are full I tie them and little bits of plastic from the bag come off and end up on the floor.

  I hate those little bits of plastic!  They should make the bags so that doesn't happen.  :'(

That happens in the sink in our second bathroom too. It is annoying.

Annoying. Now that laptop one is disabled - still in the cleaning stages - I have to use laptop 2, which isn't as portable as laptop 1. i could use one of the two tablets, but then i'd need to take it out and hook one of the wireless keyboards to it.

In the bathroom it takes over a minute here. In the kitchen it takes twice as long. When doing the dishes I often boil water, because it is quicker.

  The automatic door at the supermarket didn't open for me.  I had to push it. And I had a bag in my hand.  :'(

I have to write this using my tablet rather than my laptop because the laptop is in my study, hooked up to a monitor, and I don't want to move from this chair.

  That's just unfair.  You shouldn't have to choose between a comfortable chair and a favored device.  :'(

I know.

And now I'm writing this on my laptop, in that comfy chair, but feel I need the large monitor to do some work. My life is hell.
