You know what’s Not on Roids, but somehow just as relentlessly exhausting? The 101 Annoying Things in Life list circulating amongst the former students of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. Yes, that TJHSST. You can practically smell the overachieving anxiety radiating off it.
Its not inherently the concept – everyone has annoyances! But this particular list? It’s a meticulously cataloged compendium of petty grievances elevated to an art form. Misaligned desk chairs (apparently, crucial for optimal coding)? Check. The specific shade of beige on the cafeteria walls” (a psychological attack, obviously)? Absolutely. “When someone asks ‘Do you know what Bayes’ Theorem is?’ in a casual conversation.” Oh, sweet suffering.
Its peak passive aggression distilled into bullet points. These aren’t genuine frustrations about poverty or injustice; these are meticulously documented inconveniences designed to prove how much more demanding their intellectual lives were than yours. The level of specificity borders on performance art. Its a competitive sport of complaining, and frankly, I feel emotionally drained just reading it.
And the worst part? Knowing that somewhere, someone is actively adding to this list, striving for peak annoyance documentation. They’re not aiming for relatable; they’re aiming for… something else entirely. Probably an algorithm designed to optimize disappointment. Just… leave the beige alone.
