Pictured: something we do like, simply for the purposes of clickbait. Also things we don’t like: clickbait. 2/10.

This is the second in our “series” of posts about things we do not like. “Series” is in “scare quotes,” not only because we have thus far failed to master the complexities of English grammar (TOEFL score: 114, IELTS 8.5), but also because it is difficult to call something a series when installments are published on entirely arbitrary dates. We like to think that dates of publication are arbitrary because you can’t rush the creation of deep, penetrating insights, like the ones we offer here (or at least the crappy analysis that we pass off as good insights… hey, that’s like, half of academia, right?). So, without further ado… **drumroll please**

1. Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet, Mishawaka, IN. Earlier this year we experienced what might be called a “deep cleanse,” which was very much like a juice cleanse, except that it involved the violent expulsion of all foreign objects from our bodies. Advice to those who go here: bring immodium and ondansetron. 1/10.
2. Cold weather in April. Seriously, it’s April and last week it snowed twice. What gives? 3/10.
3. The feather in Mario Kart. OK, sure, you can use it to steal someone else’s balloon and/or avoid something that would lead to your losing a balloon. Fine. But do you honestly feel badass when you’re spinning magically in the air for two seconds? 4/10.
4. U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The people who keep America safe by making sure everyone wishes they were entering a different developed country as they stand in the holding-pen to wait for an officer at O’Hare. 2/10.
5. The post-2016 Macbook Pro keyboards. Seriously, who designed this shit? Instead of using the QWERTY layout, they might as well use a keyboard starting with the letters A-R-T-H-R-I-T-I-S (which of course results in two T’s and two I’s, but maximizing efficiency is for heartless economists). 1/10.
6. LSAT logic games. Probably irrelvant to actually being a lawyer, but they can kind of serve as slightly amusing time-wasters, almost like a slightly more pretentious Sudoku. 5/10.
7. The fact that WhatsApp makes you give conversations of more than 2 people a name. Too much pressure to come up with something that will elicit a mild chuckle but will not be so distracting that it impedes the conversation itself. 5/10.
8. Trying to find an extremely small item in a department store that you know it carries, but wouldn’t know where to find. We spent so long trying to look for a lock at Walmart that we might as well have gone through Alexander Pope’s “The Rape of the Lock” in the time it took for us to locate a physical lock. This is why I still subscribe to Amazon Prime, even if Jeff Bezos is a Trump supporter. 3/10.
9. Google Navigation in and around the area of Navy Pier, Chicago. It just doesn’t work. We had to resort to Apple Maps. Honorable mention for #9: Property developers who position the front doors of their buildings to face a non-Lake Shore Drive street but say the address is Lake Shore Drive anyway to jack up the prices. 4/10.
10. Facebook, or, more precisely, the feeling that we can’t actually leave Facebook because everyone else uses it to communicate. Seriously, we all need to exit now before artificial intelligence decimates us all, but come on, we can’t give up Facebook Messenger. 2/10.
