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.

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.”

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 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
I do the same thing, I hate feeling trapped so of someone asks if they can sit there I stand up and let them take the window seat. No one has complained.

In Covid times, this is... kind of understandable. I admit I used to do this too, because people just WOULD NOT even TRY to stay back. People at the absolute height of the pandemic would insist to sit next to me with their sniffles and their masks pulled under their noses, and then had the audacity to think I'M the asshole there...
I was on bus, mom daughter and I think about 10 yr old boy get on with the grandma. The boy sits like this and refused to move for grandma. Told her go sit somewhere else. I think whole bus was holding breath waiting for the beat down! No nothing grandma got other seat and mom did nothing! Maybe why society sucks?
I used to do this because I have mobility issues, and it was very difficult to struggle out of the inner seats & then to the door in the time most drivers would allow. If I got up early, too, I then had to try and remain upright while the bus was moving, which wasn't a given.
Just ask is the seat free and start moving in. Seriously, what's the matter with you, people? Can't you speak?
There's nothing wrong with this. Maybe their stops are coming up. If you want to sit by the window, just ask. In my experience, usually even just a smile and a head nod to the empty seat is all it takes for someone to let you pass.
I've often seen ppl asking to sit there and they say: sure, get up, let em sit there and go sit on the aisle sit themselves again.

I have been trapped in by a man who did not keep a decent distance to me. Never again! I will sit like that and whoever wants the window seat can ask for it.
This is my exact concern with this picture. My first thought was that they both appear to be women and this more of a safety-conscious issue.

It's partly up to other passengers to ask 'excuse me' and go to sit down. Some people want to stand because they are getting off pretty soon and it's not worth the bother of sitting (I know this from offering to move so people can sit), so how are those sitting supposed to know? If no one wants to sit why shouldn't they sit on the side most comfy for themselves?
Why do people NOT want to sit on the window??? I don't get it. Also, when I fly I ALWAYS have a window seat.
I do sit like this because I've been harassed before. So I feel anxious sitting at the window seat because I don't know if someone is going to sit next to me blocking my way out and will try to do something. But if anyone asks I allow them to pass, just ask.
People will ask them to move over...not everyone, but you won't keep that space...
I will sit on the aisle because I don't want to be squished in my seat by a larger person or a person who has no concept of personal space. I will gladly get up so someone can sit in the window seat.
People have preferences wgere they like to sut. This is no big deal.
I just say "excuse me" and go to sit there. They don't own the bus or the row...
Young girls in my country are taught to do this because thieves corner people on the bus to rob them or worst
I'm fine is you sit next to me just STOP TOUCHING MY SHOULDER
I've seen people spit on seats to avoid having anyone sit next to them.
If u want ur space and don’t wanna be shoved up against a stranger so close you can smell when they last showered then yea this makes sense.

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.

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.

(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.
