Things That Exist for No Good Reason
1. The tiny pocket inside the bigger pocket on jeans.
2. The plastic “window” on envelopes that never lines up with the address.
3. The perforated edges on frozen‑food boxes that never tear cleanly.
4. The little paper circles hole‑punchers spit everywhere.
5. The twist‑ties that come with every loaf of bread even though no one uses them correctly.
6. The cardboard tube inside wrapping paper that immediately collapses.
7. The stickers on fruit that require surgical precision to remove.
8. The extra button sewn into shirts that never matches anything you own (except maybe that particular shirt).
9. The plastic tabs on milk jugs that serve no purpose except to fall into the sink.
10. The “open here” arrows on packaging that point to the strongest glue known to humankind.
11. The cardboard sleeves on hot takeout cups that never stay put.
12. The fake drawers under kitchen sinks that taunt you with their uselessness.
13. The tags on throw pillows that are longer than the pillow itself.
