How many of us can explain everything? I’m pretty smart, don’t mistake me, but sometimes even am stumped. Also, I’m not usually one to complain about things for the sake of complaining, but there are times when there just isn’t any other recourse. Some things simply do not make sense to me and I struggle to understand why they are on this Earth. I’m not talking about big, terrible, horrible things that kill people and make the world grieve. No, I’m talking about those little annoyances, the ones we all face from time to time, but maybe don’t even realize they’re there. Wake up, people!!! What, you think you have real problems to worry about? Let me remind you about:
Acne. Specifically, adult acne. I’m sure one of you smart-asses will jump all over this list with your vast medical knowledge and experience, but that’s great! If I understood them, would they really be so annoying?? Anyway, why do I, at nearly 40, need to get a fucking pimple on my nose, or my chin, or my hip, or my back, etc. etc. ad infinitum? I don’t have Prom pics to pose for, or a guest appearance on The Bachelorette to get ready for. Why are you trying to ruin my face, zit??
Blisters. Don’t be disgusting, I’m talking about the kind on your foot from ill-fitting shoes, or on your hands cause you forgot to put on gloves before taking the yard, though I suppose the kind you’re thinking of would fall into this category too. Is there a reason to have them other than to just piss me off, make me really uncomfortable, or just and mock me for not heeding everyone’s advice???
Mosquitos. No, seriously, WTF are those little blood suckers good for?? I don’t even have anything else to say about mosquitoes. I think their worthlessness is pretty obvious. If you try to tell me they’re useful in spreading certain diseases, I might hope that you get bitten by one carrying a virus. Don’t make be that guy.
While I’m certain there are other pointless, inexplicable things in the world (like THIS video, perhaps) I’m too irritated right now to think of them. Let’s just leave well enough alone and if you’d like to remind me of the other things please feel free to do so in the comments below.

Add in the funny bone, which I never find funny when I knock it against something. Nobody ever sits around trying to make your arm feel like it wants to fall off.
Ouch, yes, who first decided it would be funny to call it the funny bone? Pointless.
Can I add politicians to the list?
Ah, well, maybe tougher to explain their pointlessness, but certainly possible, and definitely annoying!
Mosquitoes are there to pass on diseases and deliver bot fly larva (look it up if you dare). And also to annoy the hell out of you during picnics, camping, and other fun outdoor activities.

Michael! You weren’t supposed to go there! lol
I want to kill myself for clicking your video link.
Sorry, Joseph! The point was made though, I guess lol
Yodelling is on the list of annoying things, no?! Imagine if instead of making an annoying but constant buzzing sounds that one mosquito in the room while you sleep yodelled instead? Are you imagining it? Good, you’re welcome!
Annoying, definitely, but pointless? How else would the Von Trapps communicate?
I agree with you on the Mosquitos, we have a EEE threat where I live because of the annoying pests. Another thing that baffles me is skunks…why? And don’t give me that they control the pests…
Thinking the question isn’t so much Why skunks? but why you are getting so close and personal with them!? 😉 Thanks for reading!
I want to know why I like spicy foods but my GI tract does not. I’m tired of the curry-squirts, dammit!!!
Sounds like a real pain in the ass. Yes, I went there too
I have to admit none of your list is a joy in anyone’s life. I’ll add hemorrhoids, even though I don’t personally suffer from them…I understand they are a pain. If I were a woman, I could add that time of the month…oh wait, I can add that anyway.
Hemorrhoids, definitely. Pointless as far as I can tell. A plague upon our backsides. Why???
