You know, there's this awkward dance we do when someone hands us something and it's just out of arm's reach. It's like a ballet of inconvenience. They stretch, you stretch, and suddenly you're both doing the "I Can Almost Touch It" tango.
And there's always that moment when you're about to grasp it, and they decide to play keep-away. "Oh, you almost got it! Just a little more!" It's like they're testing your determination, turning a simple exchange into an Olympic event. I feel like I need a gold medal for successfully grabbing the TV remote.
And what about the dreaded handshake lean? You go in for a handshake, but the other person decides to be cool and do the fist bump. Next thing you know, you're leaning in like you're doing some synchronized swimming routine. It's like, come on, can't we agree on one universal greeting that doesn't involve interpretive dance?
Have you ever dropped your phone between the car seat and the center console? It's like entering a black hole of despair. You contort your body into unimaginable positions, channeling your inner contortionist, just to retrieve it. At that point, I'm considering just trading in my phone for a new one rather than fishing it out.
And let's talk about the notifications that always pop up at the top of the screen. I have short thumbs, okay? I can't reach up there! My phone is basically laughing at me, saying, "Oh, you wanted to see your messages? Too bad! Stretch those tiny fingers, my friend."
And don't even get me started on the audacity of Siri. I ask her for directions, and she responds with, "I'm sorry, I can't help with that." Well, Siri, maybe if you weren't lounging at the unreachable heights of my phone, we wouldn't have this problem!
You ever notice how everything in life is just out of reach? I mean, they say "reach for the stars," but I can't even reach the top shelf in my kitchen! I feel like I need a step ladder just to make a sandwich. And don't get me started on those high supermarket shelves. I'm standing there like a T-Rex trying to grab a box of cereal.
And then there's the remote control. It's always a few inches away when I'm comfortably nestled on the couch. I have to perform this elaborate stretch, like I'm in some weird yoga pose, just to change the channel. I call it the "Netflix and Strain" workout.
But the worst is when someone says, "Oh, just reach for your dreams." I'm sorry, Karen, I can't even reach the top shelf at Walmart; my dreams are on a cosmic top shelf! Maybe if they were on aisle three next to the chips, I'd have a shot.
I've come to the realization that life is a constant battle of reach. The TV remote, the top shelf, the last slice of pizza – it's a struggle! And why is everything on the top shelf? Are the people designing kitchens and grocery stores all 7 feet tall?
And have you noticed that the things you want are always just out of reach, both metaphorically and physically? Like, I want that promotion at work, but it's as elusive as my cat when it's time for a bath. I'm reaching for success, but success is playing hard to get, just dangling out of reach like a carrot on a stick.
So, if life is a game of reach, I've decided to bring in a step ladder. I'm not playing by the rules anymore! You want me to reach for the stars? I'm bringing a ladder, and maybe a trampoline for good measure. Because in the end, if you can't reach it, just cheat the system!
