If you\u2019re lucky you will be wearing socks but more often than not disaster will strike when you have bare feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dangerously low wifi signal<\/strong> \u2013 Is there any greater heartache than seeing GPRS on your phone or two bars on your computer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hitting snooze<\/strong> is a very dangerous game. While you really appreciate those few beautiful extra minutes it often means you\u2019re more tired when you wake and you don\u2019t have time for that beloved coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cold water when you\u2019re mid shower<\/strong> is the worst, especially in winter. Do you brave the cold to finish your shower or get out covered in soapsuds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Low phone battery<\/strong> is devastating and it always seems to happen when you need your phones the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spilt red wine<\/strong> &#8211; on the sofa, on the white shirt, on the cream carpet. Tastes so good, stains so easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spider in the bath.<\/strong> This hazard always seems to happen the most when you\u2019re home alone. It\u2019s like they can smell the fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lego underfoot<\/strong> \u2013 ouch. Which is more painful \u2013 standing on lego or standing on a plug? Let us know your thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No toilet roll<\/strong> \u2013 you never seem to notice until it\u2019s too late, and everyone becomes a prankster when you\u2019re stuck on the loo. Always put toilet roll on the shopping list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bin juice spillage<\/strong> \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter that you bought the \u2018extra strong\u2019 bin liners, at some point everyone will fall victim to bin juice spillage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Missing remote contro<\/strong>l \u2013 the remote always disappears down the arm of the sofa yet it always make sense to search every corner of the living room first and interrogate every family member who might have been the last to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Low on teabags<\/strong> \u2013 when you desperately need a cuppa and you either run out of teabags or milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Coloured socks in the white wash<\/strong>. Everyone\u2019s experienced this but to this day no one knows how the coloured sock got there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Weekend alarm clock<\/strong> \u2013 When you forget to turn off the alarm and get woke up to the ever familiar sound at 6am on a Saturday. At least you get to go back to sleep safe in the knowledge it\u2019s a false alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cold bathroom floor<\/strong> \u2013 when you wake in the middle of night and leave the warm cosy bed to visit the ice cold floor of the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Toilet seat left up<\/strong> \u2013 It takes a lot of effort to lift the toilet seat up so who can blame the boys for not putting the seat down after. Just make sure you check before you sit down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Charger won\u2019t reach the sofa<\/strong> \u2013 when you have low phone battery, facebook notifications to check and a charger that won\u2019t reach from the socket to the sofa, why is life so cruel?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shampoo in your eyes<\/strong> is one of the most painful hazards we encounter every day but unfortunately it\u2019s the risk we have to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Low on toothpaste<\/strong> \u2013 Toothpaste doesn\u2019t last forever but the fight isn\u2019t over until the tube has been bent into the craziest shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Toe stubbing hazard<\/strong> \u2013 you\u2019ve lived in your house for several years but no matter how familiar you are with your home, at some point you will still stub your toe on your bed post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hungry and grumpy pets<\/strong> \u2013 they\u2019ve already been fed their dinner but they act like they haven\u2019t eaten in a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gravel in shoe<\/strong>. How did the stones even get in there though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Carpet burns<\/strong> \u2013 another pain that happens out of the blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No clean underwear<\/strong> \u2013 you&#8217;re forever doing laundry but for some reason you can never find clean underwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mismatched socks.<\/strong> Where do all the socks go, it\u2019s virtually impossible to find a pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cat on stairs<\/strong> &#8211; When you\u2019ve got a cat you can never walk down the stairs without looking again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Risk of moths<\/strong> \u2013 When it\u2019s a lovely day, it\u2019s nice to have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climadoor.co.uk\/patio-doors\">patio doors<\/a> open and let in that glorious cool breeze. Until evening time, when you turn on the big light and find moths flying around the lampshade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Forgotten alarm code<\/strong> \u2013 Life comes with too many passwords and passcodes but not all scream loud enough for the world to hear when you can\u2019t remember the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So these hazards are a bit of fun although you can&#8217;t deny the struggle some of them cause.
