Scott and SadieAmerica, we’re tired. A new study confirms what we’ve all been feeling: a whopping 97% of Americans are sick of something. From rising prices to political drama to constant notifications, it seems we’re collectively hitting our breaking point. If you’ve felt like every little thing is grinding your gears lately, congratulations—you’re part of the 97%!
What’s fascinating about this study is how universal the frustrations are. No matter where you live, who you vote for, or whether you drink pumpkin spice lattes unironically, there’s a good chance you’re annoyed about one (or all) of these issues. So, what exactly is driving us up the wall? Let’s break it down.
The Top 5 Things Americans Are Sick Of
- Rising Costs Everywhere
Inflation isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a daily reality. Groceries, gas, housing—everything costs more, and we’re over it. That avocado toast joke doesn’t hit the same when eggs cost as much as a down payment. - Political Drama
Left, right, or center, it doesn’t matter—everyone’s exhausted by the endless bickering. Political scandals feel like a Netflix series that desperately needs to end, but somehow keeps getting renewed. - Social Media Overload
From doom-scrolling to curated highlight reels, social media fatigue is real. The study found many Americans are ready to mute the influencers, log off, and reclaim their peace of mind. - Work Burnout
Whether it’s Zoom fatigue or quiet quitting, the 9-to-5 grind has people longing for something—anything—more fulfilling. Spoiler alert: It’s not another email marked “URGENT.” - Bad Customer Service
You’d think paying more would mean better service, but nope. From endless hold times to robotic chatbots that can’t answer your question, we’re at wit’s end.
