It's often the little things that tip us over the edge. Back pain remedy ending up on the bottom shelf. Bananas being both overripe and underripe... Whether the universe has conspired against someone or they simply have to deal with other people's stupidity, it only takes so much to ruin a perfectly fine day.
Disappointed and angry, people turn to the Internet. Here, they're posting photos of the things that drive them crazy, hoping that someone will share their pain. And who are we to let them down? Bored Panda has put together a list of pics to prove just how annoying everyday situations can get, so continue scrolling and upvote your (least) favorite entries.

I was in a shop once and the person in front of me had about 20 items in their basket the teller looked at the basket, looked at them and said... "am I supposed to guess which ten items you want?"
Exactly, he should be able, maybe even obligated, to send him/her to a regular lane

@PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING cashiers should be able to or should ask them to leave. .... PLEASE don't blame cashier. When I worked in grocery store we had 6 items of fewer lane that had three register in one full lane size so no belt. However people with full cart of groceries will come there. At first I used to ask them to go to other lane but there are several scenarios I stopped doing it. (*Scenario 1*) Customer will make fuss...manager comes over and make you do the transaction anyways. Now you look like you some lazy a**e that doesn’t want to do the job. Plus comments like “see that’s wasn’t that hard” kind of comments from that customer. (*Scenario 2*) I ask a customer to go to regular lane and point out its 6 or fewer lane and there are other customers with 6 or fewer items behind them. When next customer to the offending customer chimes in “oh its ok I don’t mind.” Now we cashiers look at the line getting longer and we don’t want scenario (*1*) to happen so we just do it. (*Scena
PART 2: (*Scenario 3*) Manager just walks a customer with full cart of groceries to express lane. Well if I am working retail and taking c**p for lowest wages possible that means I want this job and I will just do as told. (*Scenario 4*) Cahiers are instructed to take full cart of groceries if they are free. Yes managers don’t take in account cashiers can be free at 11:29:32 AM but there might be a customer who will need express lane at 11:29:56 AM. All they see is you were free you take customer. And cashiers like me will do it hoping they will get $0.05 raise next year. So please you want to say something say it to offending customer or offending manager. Don’t put it on cashiers. Most of the time cahiers just do what they are told to do. Even cashier says something it will just get neglected by others so why bother cashiers get lot of c**p already they don’t need more. Retail is not easy thing … you are doomed if you do, doomed if you don’t.

I've seen cashier's refuse and make the person take the items off. It is still quicker for the people behind if they have to remove them. On the other hand I'm disabled and can't manage a basket easily but was in a hurry so tried to manage and was told that disabled people can use the 'basket' only aisle with a trolley as long as they only have 10 items or less.
So this looks like an HEB (a Texas grocery store), and they will often have a manager or other employee monitoring the checkout lanes and directing customers to specific lanes for efficiency. A couple of times, I've had a manager direct me to an express lane even though I had more than 15 items (but it wasn't a whole cartload, mind). I usually say something like, "I know I have more than 15 items, and I don't mind waiting in the regular line," to which I get the response, "no, please, go ahead and move here. I'll bring your cart for you." They're pretty insistent. The last time this happened to me, I had probably 20ish items, and a lady with like 5 things got behind me (I like to think her name is Barbara or something). Anyway, she started pitching a fit to me, and I tried to make it clear that I did not make this decision, and if she had been there before my things had started being scanned, I would've gladly let her go before me. I helped the bagger and did everything as quickly as I could, trying to be considerate of her time. Nevertheless, this interaction ended with me thanking her for her patience (which she didn't actually have), and her giving me an eye roll. My point is, you don't know that it's really their fault or if the manager of the store put them there to alleviate stress on other lines.
I asked a friend who worked at a Walmart, as we had a woman with 30+ items jump in front of us at the express lane once and the cashier said nothing, why the cashier didn't redirect the woman. She said they're not allowed to by Walmart polices. Don't know why they have express lanes then...
I will say at Publix, if the cashier in these lanes aren't checking out a customer, they will pull a person over that's waiting for the regular checkout so customers do not get backed up. But when they do that and someone comes behind me with only a few items..I let them cut ahead of me.
I hate it when they open a new lane and say "I can help the next customer." It's *always* the people at the back of the line who rush over.

I once had 12 items and I let at least 15 people behind me cut in front and then I decided to go next and the person who then came behind me who had the same amount of items started swearing at me and demanding I let her cut in front! Damn cheek!

When I was working at the local grocery store how many times did I want to so bad push the reverse button but I didn’t have one
That happened to me before! The couple in front of me had over 30 items for a 15 item lane and when I confronted them they said there are two of them so they can have double. They still were over the limit! I had 2 items. 😫🤯
In my store when the 15 items line is empty,, the cashier goes to the store part and encourages anyone to use the 15 item line.
Cashier should refuse to serve. When this happens to me I just pushin front of them.
In all fairness, if a cashier has not been busy for some time, the cashier may take someone with a larger order because it doesn't make sense to just stand there while other lanes are getting longer and longer. Often, the store manager encourages the cashiers to do this, and will actually direct customers to the line. It's more embarrassing to the customer when the other lanes die down, and after being encouraged to come to the express line and the managers have disappeared, there the person is with 30 items on the express lane!
I work nights and stop at Walmart late at night a lot (usually the only thing open) and I've noticed that they always have ONLY the "express" lane open. The first 1 or 2 times of experiencing this, I looked at the cashier a little confused and stated that I have more than 15 items at which point they just say "oh it's ok, you have to use this lane" so blame Walmart for getting people used to the idea that it's "ok" to use the express lane even if you have more than the stated number of items. F@#king Walmart....
The cashiers are not allowed to tell the idiots to go to another line. I asked.
I start counting loudly, when I see someone with too many items. Doesn't always work, but sometimes.......
The cashier needs to tell them to move to another line. Get the manager for back up if necessary. This just happened to me too.
If I have a bunch of items and I see someone behind me with only one item I'll let them go before me. Especially if it's during a working persons lunch hour.
I have no problem calling people out on this! It's up to the cashier to correct this.. if they don't, I would notify management. People will continue to disrespect as long as you allow it!
When the cashier says it's slow so come on over to the express lane, so you load up the conveyor, THEN three people show up with one item each.
OR, when somebody shows up with a handful of items and stands before you with your TROLLEY full..and the express lane is just a few lanes over but IT happens to have a few people waiting..if we're not suppose to take our trolleys through the express then you shouldn't take your express through our lanes..
Honestly, I did that once at a place that I never realized HAD an express lane. They almost never had it open, because lines are always short there. I certainly did not do it on purpose. The cashier did tell me, and I was freaked out, and immediately apologized and started putting my stuff back into my cart (I had only set about 2 things down). She said, "No, it's okay,, stay, stay, it's okay" and started ringing up my stuff, but honestly, I just wanted to move. Had to then apologize to the woman who came up behind with 3 items. How could I explain, "The cashier made me stay." The cashiers need to enforce it. You can't assume the person just didn't care. Those signs are often 15 feet up.
Fair enough. I used to go shopping with my dad, an Alzheimer’s patient, who insisted on this line no matter how many items he had. And he had a lot, since he had to check every ...single...aisle in case he missed a good deal. Like shopping with a dog who can’t pass up a fire hydrant.
I had heard 2 things. one in the USA they charge a dollar extra for each item over the express lane limit/. the other was the cashier asked the person which 8 of the lot did they want to keep/buy..
That’s the fault of the cashier for allowing them to do it. Again, give people an inch and they’ll take a mile.
the checkout guy should refuse to take all those goods and direct the person to another checkout that isnt express or less than 10 items
When I see this, I always say very loudly and clearly : "I thought this was the express lane?" I asked them once about it - they said they weren't allowed to say anything to the customers when this happened, so ...they're enabling aholes
Our cashiers will send us to our place if we did. 3 products ARE 3 products.
I hate it when all of the cashier lanes are occupied by people who bought many stuffs then lines are getting longer but then you only had below 10 pieces to buy that the managements ignores it, also when they opens the fast lane people fall in lines when it clearly says 10 pieces below only.
Say something then. This people always do this because no one complains at them. This is the problem of this society. Ash*** still doing stupid things because everyone goes blind. Damn just yell at that person.
the clerk should have the authority to ask the customer to move to a regular line. Also, that person should have offered you to go before her at the very least.
I used to work at a supermarket, I would send them to another checkout
I know some people get mad but I don’t really care...it’s still rude though so I don’t go over 10 items
I had a lady with 50 packages of ramen in the express lane. Yep they scanned every one.
grab some of those heavy carbs and use it to knock them into the correct check out line
I can see the frustration, but especially at places like Walmart it's the only regular register open.
BUT, sometimes when it's really busy, even though you have too many items the cashier will call you over. But most times not.
There appears to be two seperate shadows in line before you. Possibly they’re splitting the bill?
I use to work in the grocery industry and we would do what we could to avoid this at all cost
But the sign indicating it's an Express Lane is turned off, doesn't that mean it isn't functioning as an express lane at the moment? At my store they turn it into an express lane when needed by turning the light on.
I use to tell people to go to another line. I gave them a small 2 item grace, but then they pay by check! there needs to be a single male i dont care line at stores.
Self check-out. It's been amazing to (mostly, because some idiots still try...) avoid this

No. That isn't an express lane at the moment that person was filming, as evidenced by the sign not being illuminated. If they were using it as express the "Express Lane" portion would be lit up.
The express lane is for people who buy 10 items or less. The person in front of him had 29

This, and when you're at the self serve with kiosks on 2 sides, and some decides they'll create their own lane while a bunch of people are waiting in a line
Don’t get angry at the customer. Get angry at the checkout guy ... he should be stopping it.
I worked in retail for years. Often if the lines and long they will pull larger orders over to get the lines moving. I had people refuse because they did not want to get yelled at by this guy lol
Once a lady in the express checkout had an overflowing cart full of items- I just had a pack of gum and a liter of soda. So I asked the lady if I could go ahead (before she starting ringing up), and she said “Well, honey, didn’t they teach you to respect people that have more money than you?”
what a b****y thing for her to say!
