Random Rants #7

Random Rants #7 by Madeline Perchiniak

We’ve reached seven Random Rants, my lucky number, but also, we’re nearing ten!

Welcome back to yet another Random Rants. Does this series prove that I complain a lot, or that I’m funny, well I don’t know, but whichever side you’re on, enjoy!

Stepping into the first topic of the day, flat tiring. I’m pretty sure everyone knows what this is, but if not, it's basically when someone steps on the back of your shoe and either pulls your shoe off or almost does. I cannot explain how much I hate this. I swear that I have been flat-tired like ten times this week, almost all being in flip-flops. BACK UP! I am more than aware I’m guilty of this, but not more than one time to the same person! (At least I think) Anyways, I think the majority of people share this annoyance, but it's messing with me this week. 

This is a wide genre, but honestly, just math is getting on my nerves this week. Why are there letters in math? It makes absolutely no sense, and whoever decided that this was a good idea, no it was not. I’ll be doing just fine with a math problem, and suddenly, there's a letter! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. It makes me so mad. Just a side note, but also why do some problems have literal separate math problems separated by an equal sign? I know I’m just mad about this because it's what I’m doing in math class right now, but it makes little to no sense to me. 

Okay, this one is not for anybody but my baking people, but I swear cocoa powder is my biggest hater, and the feeling is mutual. I love baking, but anytime I decide to make brownies or any type of chocolate-based cookie, this evil ingredient is always in it. For some reason, more times than not I am in white while baking, and every time I have to use cocoa powder I always have to change shirts. Let me just set the scene for you, everything is going smoothly, I have the first ingredient in the bowl, and I go to open the cocoa powder, and suddenly, poof! It's all over my clothes. It might be because the actual substance is very loose, but not even flour is this messy, and every ingredient that has cocoa powder is always a mess. And hot take, but vanilla-based things are better. Sorry!

It turns out that small complaints can make a whole article series!
