Things That Are Dumb

Papa Murphy's Pizza.

Let me break this down for you.

You call Papa Murphy's and order a pizza. Let's say...a pepperoni and sausage pizza. Let's keep it simple. So far, so good. Sounds like a normal pizza order. But then...OH wait. They don't deliver. You have to pick it up. So you drive to Papa Murphy's to get your pizza. You arrive, and they hand you your pizza. "Why does it feel so cold?" you ask. OH that's because it's FROZEN. They made you a frozen pizza. Now you have to drive your frozen pizza home, preheat your oven (at least 10 minutes), and cook your pizza (another 20 minutes). Finally, your pizza is cooked and ready to eat. You take a bite of this teasing pizza that you worked so hard for, and OHHH it's TERRIBLE! All that work for terrible pizza. Really, Papa Murphy's? HOW are you still opening stores all across the country??

Our sink.

Measuring at a whopping 5 inches deep, our sink is not what you would call impressive. I was initially skeptical, but since people tell me size doesn't matter, I was willing to give it a try. But OH, the faucet is FLAT? So 5 inches is really the space I have to wash dishes? AND the faucet only reaches the inner corner of the sink? WHY hasn't this apartment complex realized that a shallow sink can be easily remedied with a tall faucet? I'm talking:

How awesome would that be? I would easily have another foot to wash dishes.

Things I can't wash in my sink:

• 9x13 in. pans
• mixing bowls
• coffee pot
• 12 in. frying pan
• pizza pan
• cookie sheets
• muffin pan
• Fill our Brita water filter

Pant size-to-pant length ratio.

People should be proportional. They're not always, but they should be. When a person's weight is not proportional to their height, it's usually errs on the side of too big for the height. Rarely is a person a lot skinnier than they should be based on their height. So WHY do they only make size 0 pants in lengths for 6' tall people?? Most people who wear size 0 are not 6' tall supermodels. They are teeny tiny, 4'11" girls that are proportional to their height. Also, can we please move the small sizes off the very top shelves at stores? I know it looks better to arrange the pants from smallest to largest, top to bottom, but most people who wear those little sizes are short. We can't reach them. We can't buy your pants if we can't reach them.

Children, including my future children, will see shows like this and think that's what they are supposed to act like when they grow up. I am not okay with this.


This is not an exhaustive list. More to come.
