Tuning the radio station perfectly so there’s absolutely no static

I’m a terrible tuner.

Yeah, I’m the guy twiddling clock radio dials before bed every night with scrunched-up eyebrows. When I do end up on a crystal-clear station it usually isn’t the one I was aiming for or I end up accidentally using my body as an antenna so the sound gets fuzzy the second I move my hand away.

For a second it’s clear and then it’s schzzzteeeeeeeeyiiiiiiiio-OoOoOssZZZZT.

You’d definitely find these moments over in The Book of Annoying, that nonexistent netherlist that also features: Someone shaking your hand with freshly wet hands from the bathroom, Bendy straws that crack at the bendy part, and Getting the wobbly table at a restaurant.

Brother, that’s why nothing’s as nice as landing perfectly on your radio station of choice after twiddling that little dial for a few quick moments. When you nail it just right, slowly move your hand away, pause for station identification, and quickly click the switch over to Alarm, you’re loving it lots.

See, radio waves float and fly through our lives sending highway traffic reports, wacky morning DJs, and bumping bass beats bouncing around the air like magic. It’s up to us to catch them like butterflies with our thin antennas, dusty clock radios, and determined little fingers driven to get the job done.

AWESOME!
