The minor annoyances of daily life. Uncomfortable situations you silently power through. No matter who you are, your world is filled with people, things, and circumstances that can be summed up with one simple word: BAD.

The Opening Round, Part II
The results are in for the First Four and the first half of our Opening Round, and the winning entries have moved on. There was some tough competition in this year's First Four. Fan favorite "Anxiously watching people listen to the music you picked" put up a good fight, but ultimately faded down the stretch. Fans who came out early were delighted by the hard-fought First Four matchup between "Googling your symptoms" and "'What would you say is your greatest weakness?'" with the latter taking a 61% victory to advance.
Tournament-goers were shocked by the early passings of "Non-mammalian pets," "Neighbors oversharing on Nextdoor," "Your dog leaving the room when you walk in," "Wind chimes," and "Diagnosing yourself with autism through TikTok," all fan favorites that came to this year's tournament with high hopes. But the court of public opinion has spoken, and so these entries see their March dreams shattered in the Opening Round.
The updated bracket:
And now we move on to the other half of the bracket, featuring the highly-anticipated regions authored by Kelci, Evan, Ryan, and me. Voting is NOW open for part two of the Opening Round. All 16 polls can be found below.
