Top Ten Don't You Just Hate It When... Moments

Don't you just hate it when you have those "Don't you just hate it when..." moments?
The Top Ten
You go to speak and forget what it was you were going to say

You open your mouth to speak and suddenly forget what you were going to say. Instead, you just stand there with your mouth open, looking at the person like some kind of confused fish!

Sometimes, I think faster than I can talk. By the time I'm ready to say it, I've already moved on in my mind. It's so frustrating!

This happens to me all the time. You wrack your brain, trying to remember, but it never comes back to you until much later - when it's too late!

Someone else takes credit for your hard work

I'm not going to comment. I'll cry instead. Leave me alone. I'll be okay in a minute...

Your best friends love something you really hate

On the contrary, it's embarrassing when you love something most of your friends hate.

Example: This one girl's heart sank as she heard her friends talk about how Justin Bieber sucks. She secretly loved his songs...

My friends like rap and pop, while I prefer alternative music. They keep telling me I should listen to their stuff, but I have no interest in what they think is good.

A lot of my friends love the movie Labyrinth, but I honestly don't understand why. That movie is terrible! Just go watch Wall-E instead!

The internet connection fails

I get so stressed out. One time I went to bed while trying to do something important with my friends, but of course, the Wi-Fi failed. It happens every time. Then I woke up to them wondering where I was, and I was like, "My Wi-Fi dropped." They said, "Aww, sorry, Cady," not sarcastically though, haha.

This is so stressful! On my iPhone, when I go to settings, it says there's no connection to the Internet, but when I open Safari, it works just fine. That's just ridiculous.

My internet is a piece of crap. I have to reset it so often.

When you are in a group project and someone else makes you fail

I once lost a debate because the team captain got mad at us for not having our rough drafts done by the morning after we received the debate topic. Then we got to the debate, and she didn't have anything prepared. She said, "Oh, I don't have anything. I know what I'm going to say."

She ended up supporting the other team in her rebuttal. She also took my friend's cards, saying, "I'm just going to look over them and make a couple of edits if needed." My friend told her not to use pen, just light pencil, but this girl handed them back with sharpie marks all over.

At the very beginning, she added, "I'd like to first thank our wonderful, amazing, spectacular judges, the opposing team, and my hardworking, amazing teammates for being here today." Yeah, we lost the debate by 5 points.

Someone gives away spoilers

I accidentally did that to someone once. It was two years after Allegiant came out, and I told him the ending of the book. I was complaining about it, thinking either he had already finished reading it or would've heard the ending by then, but somehow he hadn't. So I ended up spoiling it for him.

I was really enjoying a book when my friend just casually came up and said, "Oh, they all die in the end." Ruined the whole thing for me!

A restaurant is out of the one thing you went there to get

One time, my grandma took me to the drive-thru at McDonald's to get a milkshake. When we got up to the window to order, the employee said the machine was broken! I'm never going to order a milkshake there again.

I once went to Chick-fil-A, and they were out of chicken. Not kidding.

You think you're about to sneeze and don't

For me, I always look stupid when this happens. I get all prepared and everything, then wait for like 10 seconds and realize I'm getting weird looks. Then I move on, and then I sneeze without warning.

I felt an itch on my nose and thought I was about to sneeze. I covered my mouth, prepared for it, and then... nothing. It's so annoying!

Gah! It's so frustrating to feel a sneeze building up, only for it to disappear, leaving you looking silly. I love a good sneeze, so it's such a disappointment when this happens!

You can't think of a tenth item for a TheTopTens list
You forget where you left something

I've had this worse than probably anyone! One time, I had both my gloves. Then I lost one for two weeks, finally found it, and then lost the other one! I finally found that one a week later. This was during winter. Can you imagine how cold one hand was the whole time? I hated that winter.

I lost my copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby. That was a $40 game, and I had tons of Legendaries!

Happens with my phone a lot. It's usually on my couch.

? Cream crackers suddenly break in your hand while buttering them

Now I have peanut butter all over me. Aw...

? When a random person says "Ching Chong" to you when you're an Asian that is not Chinese

You run for a bus but it pulls away seconds before you reach it

I think this happened to my younger brother when he was in kindergarten or 1st grade one morning. He couldn't hurry fast enough to catch the bus from inside, so my mom had to take him to school.

I'm sure the drivers do it on purpose. They see you in their mirror, red-faced, puffing and panting, waving your arms around like a complete wally. Their timing is practiced to perfection! Argh!

I remember one time experiencing that. It was the bus coming home from school.

You can't remember how that song goes

You're singing along, and then you get to that one tricky part you can't remember. So frustrating!

You stub your toe

You get so mad, and the rage just builds up inside. But there's no one to be mad at, so you just stew in the frustration.

And then, to make it worse, you lose your balance and hit your head because you're hopping around on one leg. Ugh!

Sometimes I stub my toe, and I get mad, but it hurts so bad that I scream and get even more mad.

You don't realize the straw shifted in your drink and spend a few moments trying to find it with your mouth looking like a horse eating grass

So awkward, especially when you're a woman and trying to be demure, feminine, and sexy! Haha

I do that all the time. And I look really ridiculous when I do it.

You get up to get something, you forget what you needed to get, and the split second you sit down, you remember

This happens every time I watch TV. I get up to get... um...? Anyway, I get up and can't remember what I wanted. Then, when the commercials are over, I remember what it was. A... uh... never mind, but I remember and have to miss part of the show.

I sit down and get all comfy on the couch, ready to watch my favorite show, and then I realize I forgot the popcorn in the microwave. Every time!

So true! Why does this always happen? One day, I'm going to pretend to sit down and catch this annoying phenomenon off guard. Ha!

Your family comes over and brings those annoying cousins that never leave you alone
You miss a red light and have to wait longer than usual for it to change to green.

This seriously sucks where I live. I deal with lights that almost seem to go red at the worst moments, and waiting up to three minutes feels like forever. Whoever plans the traffic here has no sense, as I and about 50 other cars are waiting at a light that never seems to turn green.

To make things worse, sometimes they never seem to change back at all. This actually happens. I wish I were making that up, but I'm not.

You like someone but they don't reply

Say something, I'm giving up on you...

I have a friend who ignores my texts and doesn't reply to me for hours.

You realize what someone said as you are asking "what?"

Oh, why didn't I add this myself?! This is ALWAYS happening. It's so embarrassing.

Someone farts in the car and it's too uncomfortable to admit you noticed so you have to keep driving with the windows up

Haha, hasn't happened yet, but it would be funny!

You build up the confidence to buy some flashy clothing, but then feel too self conscious to ever wear it

I have a lovely, expensive violet evening dress, but I'm too shy to wear it out. I only ever wear it in my bedroom...

When you try to kill a spider and you can't find it
Someone eats the food you were saving for later

This happens ALL the time to me!

You have an itch and your hands are occupied
Someone farts on an escalator and you have no choice but to go into the offending stench

My dad is usually the villain of this, and I apologize on his behalf.
