Nostalgia Check: Things We Hated About the 90s

Ahh, the 90s! A decade shimmering with the glow of neon windbreakers, the sweet sound of boy bands, and the virtual cries of hungry Tamagotchis. But for every "totally tubular" moment, the 90s also brought us a unique set of frustrations, proving that even the best decades have their... glitches. Remember dialing up the internet only to hear the infamous screeching connection tone, fingers crossed no one would call the house phone and boot you off? Or the unparalleled dread you felt upon realizing a family member taped over your painstakingly recorded episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"? 

Let's not even talk about the agony of losing a quarter in the arcade just as you were about to beat your high score. So, put on your platform sneakers, grab a pack of Gushers, and let's dive deep into the wonderfully frustrating world of 90s problems we loved, loathed, and ultimately lived through.
