You ever see something mildly infuriating but manage to breeze past it?
Imagine breezing past it every day, five days a week. And instead of breezing past it, you’re stuck in bumper to bumper traffic during rush hour. This mildly infuriating decor oversight looms overhead, filling you with pure rage as it taunts you with terrible design until you finally snap.
