50 Times People Spotted Others Acting Like Complete Jerks And Had To Shame Them Online
We’re big fans of human beings in general, but oh my Lord, sometimes they’re so annoying, we wish we could mind-control them into being better. Humanity needs an upgrade, a software patch: the first thing that should be phased out are those pesky little behaviors that irritate us. That frustrate us. That make us rant and rave on the internet and to our friends.
Bored Panda has compiled a detailed list of these annoying things that people do, big and small, all for your viewing (dis)pleasure. They’re likely to get your heart rate up, so remember to breathe and think calming thoughts throughout. Putting stickers on camera lenses, leaving restaurant tables messy, and refusing to queue properly are just a few of the maddening things lying at the tip of the iceberg. Though that last one might irk Brits more than anyone else.
As you’re scrolling down, remember to upvote the photos that you related to the most, dear Pandas. We’re also very curious about what other things annoy the ever-loving frick out of you, so be sure to write up a comment and post it at the bottom of this list. Ready to rage? Let’s go!

People Who Do This Are Just The Worst
People Who Constantly Block The Isles Of Stores To Stand Around And Chat
People That Park Like This
Executive coach Dr. Marcia Reynolds notes on Psychology Today that we should save our energy for serious fights instead of wasting it on everyone who annoys us even slightly. Minor conflicts aren’t worth getting stormy about, even if we might want to teach someone a well-earned lesson.
According to Dr. Reynolds if you “shift your attention elsewhere” and remove the energy from the fight, you might surprise the person who’s currently making your life a living hell. It’s a different path that’s available to us: instead of making the person go into their defensive mode and stick to their story, now they’re wondering what exactly is going on.
For The Sake Of All Love That Is Holy, If You Do This, Please Pick A Side And Get Out Of The Damn Way
Prior to the ubiquitous growth of e-vehicles, it's easy enough to move to the side when you hear one coming behind you. At the same time, I've also encountered people who will *scream* at you if you go within a nanomillimeter of their parked car, with or without a trolley, so walking in the middle then makes sense. Combine the two and you can get people of a certain age who are not quick on their feet attempting to move out of the way because they'll be screamed at by the parked car owners and honked at by the drivers and it's no wonder so many older people no longer give a flying Frick.

Why would anyone think it’s acceptable to do that? I’m genuinely confused how someone can be that rude.

Body language, however, is just as important as our words. “Manage your non-verbal behavior. If you are going to stay out of the fight, don't roll your eyes, mutter under your breath, or make an ugly face as you turn away. You are still sparking the fire with your gestures,” Dr. Reynolds explains.
“The best thing to do is take a big breath, let it out slowly, and focus on breathing comfortably. You are strong when you control your reactions. The disrespect the person is showing has nothing to do with you personally.”

People Who Leave Fast Food Places Like This
Dr. Reynolds also points out that our health is far more important than putting someone in their rightful place. Sure, you might rant a bit, but you’re likely to fail to convince someone to change their ways. And the one who suffers is you because now you’re full of anger and hate. Choose to react differently, even if your instincts say otherwise.
By the way, Pandas, if you’re in the mood for some more examples of annoying behavior that’ll make you wonder how any of us manage to get along at all, you ought to check out Bored Panda’s previous articles here, here, here, and here.
People Who Do This With Their Shopping Carts
Are in America shopping carts free? In Slovenia we have to put 1e or 50c or 2e in to get it (we get the money back when we return the shopping cart to its home) or well the stores sometimes have these coins with their logo on which can be used to borrow shopping carts

I have a friend who will open a can of soda, drink part of it and put it in the fridge. BUT SHE NEVER FINISHES IT. When she wants another soda, she opens a can and then puts it in the fridge. She was staying with me and there were EIGHT OPEN CANS OF SODA in the fridge, I said fergawdsake Wendy, WHY don't you drink the one you opened and she said, because they get flat. ohmygawd
Anette - I would never do this either but I'll answer for people that do this; "I don't like my ketchup cold!" "I don't like crusty Mustard." "that pasta sauce might be old." (pitiful excuses)

WHY??? Why the hell not use one up before opening the new one?! Insane!
Is this person me? Did I take this photo? Because this is exactly what my parents are like, even the same brands.
Just sayin' I will gladly take that ketchup off your hands :)
If every one was past the date, sometimes years, that would have been my dad's fridge
Passive-aggressive I'm not tossing that when it's empty that's your job.
This annoys me. Also my mum has spices that expired in the late 90s/early oughts. Gross.
OMG - this is my stepmother. I swear she NEVER checked the fridge before shopping and so that's what we'd end up with.
When you can't see and can't bend down anymore it happens. Be understanding.
At first I was like "Like you can finish a ketchup bottle fast" but tgen I saw how much there were
My husband helped a relatives save a lot money by getting him to teach his kids that new bottles are not opened until the old one is completely empty. Might be harder to teach parents, though!
When you have your own fridge, you can do what you want. Spoken like a true parent of grown adults. Be thankful you have mustard, ketchup, primo whatever and marinara sauce young man or lady!
I’m sure their shower must look the same with the shampoo/ conditioner, body wash/ shave cream ect....
Reminds me of having a million and one bottles of shampoo, I never put a bottle in the shower or in the fridge until the one I am using is completely gone. Every now and then we open one without noticing we had one already, but also do a deep clean of our fridge every month so pretty rare we miss something
Looks like your parents need your help cleaning out the fridge! Just please don't tell them about it, just leave the ones most full.
Well I’ve just cleaned mine and I must admit that I had like 5 mustards 4 ketchup 3 mayonnaise etc…. :s
I don't see how this is annoying, sometimes you forget. When I cleaned out my spice rack last weekend I have five containers of cloves.
That's a little different. How often does anyone use cloves? (It's like poultry seasoning; usually just around the holidays). Everyone does that. Leaving this many bottles of the same thing is ridiculous. You'd have to be able to see them everytime you went in the fridge.

This happens with us and mustard and hot sauces. I have a lot of condiments and pickles and a big fridge!
In their defense I hate useing that lady of anything... it annoys my wife so then she makes me. Not sure why I do it I just don't like using the last of stuff...
My mom does this, except with food. "There's an old potato that you haven't used in anything for weeks, why do you need a big bag of potato???" Mother: it was on sale!
Most of my fridge is filled with half-empty bottles... but not of the same stuff!

I would reserve judgment on this. There may not have been anyone else there when they lay down to nap. Happened to me once, in a hangar in Kuwait. Only two of us in the terminal, we lay down to nap, woke up to find an entire Company of 101st Airborne (100+) sleeping all around us, even on the floor.

I have that all the time. People seem to ask the most absurd questions in this places or simply not read the description. Like "How much is the chair?"

One person wanted me to drive for 3h to deliver him a hasmter cage that i "sold" for free. After he insisted i told him that i would do it for a 1000 euros delivery fee

People Who Block Window Seats On Public Transit
I admit, i sit like this BUT i hold my backpack in my lap and try to look like I'm willing to move if anyone wants the window seat (anxiety, if i get trapped in then i miss my stop and get a panic attack) Have moved no problem for many people before (as odd as that sounds) and most of them prefer the window

This happens at the disabled crosshatch area (Meant to provide needed room for wheelchairs) every single time I try to park.

Some are mildly annoying and don't affect other people. But when they leave their trash everywhere or they leave a mess for other people to clean up, then these people deserve to be shot immediately!
Too bad you couldn't shoot someone but they only die for ten minutes - I think a comedian did a bit on this way back. Of course there are those who would never revive long enough to get anywhere.

I've always hated when people laugh and just keep being jerks when they're called out on their bad behavior. Bonus dickhead points when they deliberately become even more obnoxious about it after being called out. I mean really? What are you, 6 years old?
Yup, they think they're being edgy, when in fact they're just jerks.

Why does BP take me from "Omg, this post is so wholesome, faith in humanity restored!..." to "I HATE ALL OF YOU BURN IN HELL YOU SADISTIC A**HOLES HOPE YOUR HOUSE GETS INFESTED WITH A*AL TICKS!!!"
Because BP posts whatever gets the most hits. They are not at all interested in right and wrong, or what social behaviors are seen as being right or wrong. They are only interested in ad revenue, so they will post as much contradictory and inflammatory material as they can in order to generate and inflate these artificial controversies. Or do you really not know that this is how the internet works?

So many things that drive me crazy on here. But your lucky to drive, have a car, have friends, have a job, and be alive. Remember that.
"...had to shame them online." No. You don't have to shame anyone. You could let it go. The only reason you might feel the need to shame these people is because modern society has normalized disregard for authority, and thereby encourages disregard for the law as well as social mores, or else you simply want to feel good about yourself by pointing out flaws in others. Either way, you are whining rather than doing what is necessary to stop behaviours like this.
It drives my husband batty sometimes, but when I see cups at the mall/carts in the parking lot that are going to hit cars or block spaces/ perishable food on shelves I take a second to fix it. Yes I know some people get paid to do it but those people usually also have 1,000 other duties. IDK, it feels like most people don't care about others and that's the root of most of these. (The rest like the phone screens are just funny but I couldn't live with)
It’s a lot easier to deal with when you accept the fact that a significant number of people are bonafide assholes.
I enjoyed this one but most are either stupid or selfish or both. What's the word if you really don't like people? I'm pretty sure it's not humanist. For now, I'll settle for doggophile! No, that doesn't sound right. Sounds like it might be a crime. I like dogs. Not people. Puplover! No. Carry on. I'll keep thinking.
These are all examples of the current pandemic affecting the vast majority. I don't mean Covid, but rather there are four interlinked traits of behaviour that seem to be the standard now: self-entitlement, selfishness, stupidity, and laziness.
Everything in this list is s#!t people do that pisses me off. I used to be pretty easy going about stuff but after nearly 60 years of it I AM DONE
