Seemingly Reasonable Yet Perpetually Out-of-Reach Luxuries

A shower that doesn’t require temperature adjustment any time anyone in America flushes a toilet.

Enough similar pairs of socks that you don’t need to dig through the sock drawer for five minutes to find a sock that matches the one you just pulled out.

A replacement lightbulb when you need one.

A car that doesn’t make any sounds that make you nervous.

A computer that multitasks as quickly as you can.

A checkers set without any coins or poker chips substituted for missing checkers.

A photo that’s not cut just slightly too small or too large for a photo frame that’s supposed to fit that size photo.

Enough quarters to do laundry.

A pencil sharpener that doesn’t break the lead most of the times you try to sharpen a pencil.

A mechanical pencil that doesn’t break its lead most of the times you try to write with it.

A pen. Just…a pen. Does anyone have a pen?
