Life Has a Number of Perplexing Side Effects

Namely, Tupperware lids with no discernible containers.

Life grants you an expanding collection of batteries with an unknown charge, an inability to watch a pot reach a boil, and an array of objects with an inexplicably growing layer of dust. You'll feel your phone buzzing when it's not there, and you'll miss the important call you're waiting for. You'll have songs you can't stand stuck in your head for days, and you won't be able to remember how that one other song goes. You'll accomplish incredible feats of ninja reflexes when you catch something mid-air, and never be able to replicate it.

Life has an irksome habit of presenting you with socks that have mysteriously lost their partners. The quantum mechanics behind this phenomenon are not fully understood, though leading scientists hypothesize it is a kind of "cosmic joke."
