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.”

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
Most shops in America offer carts free, except one, Aldi.

I recall a grocery chain called Pathmark having you need a quarter to retrieve a cart, something that most places I've seen do away with aside from Aldi. Most people are too lazy to drag their carts to a return point or the storefront, and I feel sorry for the cart reclaimers who have to hunt down the loose cart.
THERE IS A SHOPPING CART THING RIGHT THERE JUST PUT IT IN THE THING
In South Africaif you do that, some needy person will steal it to carry their world possessions in while they find a place to sleep for th night. which is why most shopping malls have designated guards who make sure the trolleys get back to the shop
Someone left a shopping cart loose in the car park and it took out my head light.
With that lighting, it's just standing there like "Why did you abandon me?"
People are so lazy, they act like the little walk to where the shopping carts are kept will kill them or something... One time this girl who was parked in front of me did this, just left her car in the middle of the parking space next to her, so while she was still there and could clearly see me, I went there, took the shopping cart and put it away, then got in my car and left...
Unless you are alone outside at night and being harassed by beggars to the point you don't feel safe and HAVE to bail to your car. Every time I go to the stores in Houston!
Shopping trolleys are left all over car parks here in the US, even when a returns area is right nearby. You can see a returns area in the picture a short distance away. At times I feel like a weirdo walking mine all the way back to the returns area, or the front of the store to where you get them from.
I have seen this, and i have seen customers just push the cart away and it has barely missed hitting another car. But I was at a Kroger a couple of times in my area and they have put some type of alarming system on their carts. I think it was to keep them from being taken too far from the property or to keep people from stealing items from the store. I had a couple of them start beeping as I was walking to my car and the manager had to disable the alarm because the cart literally won't roll.
Never understood this. What are you going to do with that little extra time you gain? Stuff your face with donuts? Save the world?
If you see someone do this tell them. I do because I'm a bitch and I don't care what ignorant slobs think of me. You should see what I do to people who park in disabled spots!
Customer from #4&5&25, I’m telling you, look how close they have to put the cart away
in my opinion its even worse when they leave it in a handicap parking space.
You have to put a £1 coin in to get a trolley and retrieve it when you return it.
Aldi has trolleys that take store tokens or $2 coins. When you bring the trolley back, you get your coin or token returned. Simple!! And no trolleys chucked into ditches on the side of the road!
Beside ALDI Market where you paid a quarter and get it back when you put it back ;=]
I give the cart a very slow, soft nudge and let it drift over to hit someone else's cart.
In England ,we have to put a Pound coin in the cart,then park it where its got to be ,to then get our Pound Coin back.
I do that with my old car. I like to just push the carts around and get them into awkward parking spots. This one was particularly difficult!
When I see this, and I am pulling up, I will wipe this sucker down and shop with it
We have Aldi now in the U.S. The carts cost a returnable quarter. You never see the carts left in the lot. Apparently people are greedier than they are neglectful, both forms of self-serving.
I know of one discount food store that needs a one-dollar coin (Loonie) to get the cart free of the corral, then when you bring it back, the coin is released. But: the only corral is right at the door of the store, so you have to push the cart all that way..... So: some folks just leave the cart, And: other folks will push two carts together and get both coins, And now and then there's a circle of twenty carts all locked together - blocks parking spots and a nuisance for the staff to clear away. Fun, eh?
I used to say the same thing about people being too lazy to put their carts in a cart corral.... That is until my daughter was born. I saw her mom leave a cart by her car after unloading her items and our baby. She told me there was no way she is going to leave the baby alone in the car as she takes the cart back to the corral. I suddenly had a lot more patience with others about this.

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. 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!
