Yes I’m Overreacting, That’s the Point

Now. I know. It’s a small thing. A tiny, fiddly, insignificant little design choice. And surely it was not done with the express purpose of ruining my life or triggering full Wayward rage mode.

But whoever decided to start permanently tethering bottle lids to their bottles is, respectfully, at the top of my shit list.

Who hurt you. Who made you do this. What childhood trauma led you to believe this was helpful. Do you think this is helpful.

Because the lid. The lid now mocks me.
The lid slaps me in the face every time I try to drink like a functioning human.
The lid refuses to screw back on unless I perform a deeply specific series of gestures that involve, I don’t know, aligning the stars and whispering dark incantations to the recycling bin.
The lid has opinions. The lid is judging me.

And this is why I am dehydrated. Not entirely, of course. There is also the small matter of me being alarmingly terrible at drinking water unless it’s disguised as Cherry Pepsi Max. But still. The lid is a contributing factor. A catalyst, if you will.

Honestly. This is how we lose the will to recycle. One stupid flappy lid at a time.
