40 Times People Got So Mad About Something, They Just Had To Post It On The ‘Extremely Infuriating’ Online Group
While there are many reasons to keep your faith in humanity, there are some moments when we lose it completely. There are truly terrible people in the world who do God-awful things to others. Focusing just on them without seeing the kindness around us would be pessimistic, but it’s important to be aware of just how deep some people’s evil really goes. In short, being aware of the darker aspects of life gives us a more nuanced picture.
And there’s hardly a better place to see some things that might make your blood boil than the ‘Extremely Infuriating’ subreddit. It’s a 91.7k-member-strong online community that has been showing the internet the dark side of humanity all the way since 2012. Scroll down below for some of the worst things you’re likely to read all week. Let us know in the comments which of these things shocked you the most, Pandas. And if you’re up for it, tell us how you personally deal with negative news like this.
(Warning: this list really isn’t for you if you have high blood pressure and if you’d like to relax. For those that need some sunshine in your lives, we suggest you check out Bored Panda’s recent article about silly animals doing cute nonsense things right here.)
Bored Panda wanted to understand why we're so fascinated by some of the darker aspects of humanity and why being angry all the time might be bad for us, so we reached out to Suzanne Degges-White, a Licensed Counselor, Professor, and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University.
“When it comes to hearing information about the darker aspects of humanity, our brains experience greater stimulation when we hear stories of depravity than of kindness. It also has a ‘feel-good aspect’ for some folks as it normalizes and minimizes their own dark aspects or negative traits,” the professor explained to Bored Panda why negative, dark, evil-related content might appeal to people.

Disabled Senior Woman

It's not her landlord but the assisted living facility that wanted her gone. I mean, what is she supposed to do, sitting in a wheelchair and probably having no place to go? There's got to be rules in place for cases like that?

Causing more harm than good. If the owners can’t fix it themselves they’ll need to call someone out, that’s another vehicle on the road. If the tire is damaged that’s another tire on the trash heap and another one manufactured to replace it. Then of course you have all the man hours wasted. People are idiots, they don’t think.

Unfortunately I know. You slide the glass to the edge of the table,over a bowl or something to catch that much water, retrieve the bills, clean the table. Dry the bills thoroughly at home. Next table. Had it happen. Not even original. This was twenty years ago. Shoot...I even had one guy pit the remaining scramble eggs in the water. No biggie. You see it , you remember them.

Gross. People like that are why we can’t have nice things. They’re probably also the type of people who complain about lack of charging ports on public transport.

This Is Infuriating
Caroline Sinclair 4 years ago
This appears to be totally untrue: Manufacturing company Intersurgical says it had no intention of making a threat. Managing director Charles Bellm issued a statement: "Just to confirm that recent reports from Italy are totally incorrect, we were contacted at the end of last week for manufacturing details of a valve accessory but could not supply these due to medical manufacturing regulations, we have categorically not threatened to sue anyone involved. The valve is an accessory supplied as part of a CPAP Hood system which alone costs a few euros. Our Italian company has been doing their utmost to supply the hospitals at this time and have been supplying these free of charge in many cases to use with the CPAP Hoods. It is very disappointing that in the current climate this incorrect information is circulating, our focus as a company is to be able to supply the hospitals that require these and many other vital products and we are making every effort to ensure we can do so.

This is an odd mix, I’m not really sure forgetting your burger or parking like a t****r compares to killing the white giraffe and calf and murdering the anti-poachers.
