44 Of The Most Infuriating Things People Have Witnessed Lately (New Pics)
Anger is a basic human emotion. Everyone experiences it in varying degrees, as there is always at least one thing that makes us tick. What matters more is how we deal with the situation once we feel our ears getting hot and our blood pressure rising.
One of the ways people express their outrage and exasperation is by posting online. That’s where communities like the Extremely Infuriating subreddit are for: to provide an outlet where the enraged can let off some steam.
Here are some of the posts from the page that drew the most ire, and you will see why as you scroll through.

For one, our inherent negative biases make us gravitate towards online toxicity. It’s why a single disparaging comment stands out among thousands of praises, and it’s why news reports always begin with bad news, according to cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Christian Jarrett.

People may be fully aware that rage-bait content is intended to provoke them, yet they continue to consume it. According to University of Virginia psychology professor Bethany Teachman, it’s because anger compels us to take action and defend ourselves, which is rooted in evolutionary survival mechanisms.
“Feeling anger compels us to approach the anger trigger (in contrast to emotions like anxiety and sadness that make us want to withdraw or avoid), so we are often “baited” by rage bait,” Teachman said.

Being angry is exhausting. It drains you both physically and mentally. Having a lack of control can also put you in troublesome situations. This is where the importance of channeling that anger comes in.

Looks like the OP could at least dig them out of the trash.
Jerome shared practical tips for channeling anger, including taking a time-out to process rage, taking a short walk, or stepping into a quiet space for deep breathing. She also advises noticing impulses and naming anger triggers.
“Your feelings are valid. You are only accountable for your actions and the consequences of your response,” she stated.

Someone in the comments of the OP works for the company; from their interaction, this is not normal, as in never happened before, and they went to find out what happened. Someone else has pointed out that it's not possible to remotely off this sound processor, so it's probably just broken.
