21 trivial things you can legally complain about on Blue Monday

Science is not yet completely convinced of the Blue Monday phenomenon, but we gladly take the most depressing day of the year to complain unabashedly. About things that are hardly worth complaining about, almost. By the way, having a good rant is very good for your health and that has incidentally been proven by the gentlemen and ladies researchers.

What is annoying? Well...

1. That your hair crackles when you pull your sweater over your head. There’s no hairspray that can fix that.

2. And you just had five super sweet pink Cadillacs in a row, but now you still crave fifteen more.

3. That traffic jams on Monday are always longer than on Wednesday and Friday.

4. And that you haven't had alcohol for three weeks. You, I haven't, I already stopped eating and smoking, that's bad enough.

5. That you need to refuel because you were too lazy to drive to the nearest pump this weekend. Me, every weekend.

6. Vacuuming. Because hello, vacuuming is not a pleasant pastime on any day of the year and that should be said. We think Blue Monday is an excellent day to bring this up.

7. And that you knew you shouldn't let the wiper race over that frozen window, but you just did it with the last bit of windshield washer fluid your car had. So you get those streaks when it rains again instead of freezing. There you go again.

8. Taking a big sip of hot tea, leaving you with a somewhat dry, thick tongue all day.

9. And sneezing while putting on mascara, because I have that with some mascaras. You get the brush in your eye or mascara all over your face.

10. That all traffic lights turning red as you approach and then you get very impatient with the countdown process that some traffic lights use nowadays.

11. The lid that flies off your tupperware container and that healthy pumpkin soup gushes through your bag.

12. That the sweater that makes your hair crackle also itches like crazy, but you still have to sit in the office for eight more hours until you can take it off.

13. And that you've had to pick up your glove from the ground seven times because your touchscreen doesn't work with gloves and you're physically unable to both talk and hold your glove between your teeth.

14. Pulling the door shut behind you without having a key with you. And that your bike key is also attached to your bunch, so you can't bike either. Too late, too late.

15. When you just forgot to buy that one ingredient, making your dish no longer a dish. Like your prawns, for your spaghetti with prawns.

16. Waking up on Monday and asking yourself why on earth you set your alarm on the weekend. And then you fall back asleep and wake up five minutes later because it's Monday.

17. That you are very happy with a fresh pair of tights and that you get caught on the clasp of your shoe in that fresh pair of tights, at five to nine in the morning when it is time-wise impossible to go home and change your tights.

18. If you turn out to be on your period on Blue Monday, meine gute what a day you have then.

19. That you just waited a whole weekend to book a ticket because your paycheck only came on Monday, and now the tickets are back to the old price. Crying.

20. The back of your earring that falls into the sink and thus tips into the sewer towards freedom. Sigh.

21. And finally, that you just gave a presentation with a complete vegetable garden between your teeth and that no one pointed it out to you. The jerks.

Ah, nice. Have a lovely Blue Monday Amayzers.
