A new report confirms what you probably already knew- the cheap, stylish furniture is super annoying to assemble, and it's causing a lot of angry outbreaks.

Realizing we can all act pretty petty at times, here are five things that are bound to send us into a spiral for no good reason.

  4. Take-out menus: What starts as a piece of paper can quickly evolve into back-and-forth bickering as you try to dance around what you really want. Ultimately, indecision becomes the doorman of frustration, and someone's not getting what they wanted.
