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?
In most developed countries (and many developing ones) this is covered by the social security net. In Germany, for instance, children have to contribute to the care cost depending on their salary. If they're too poor or the old person doesn't have children, then it's paid for by the public care insurance.
Load More Replies...Where is social services in these cases? How can you be 93 and not have proper social services and a pension that covers your basic needs? Oh right, America
Seems like the assisted living facility;Doesn't want to assist the living.😑
I investigated further because it didn't add up. She had the funds to pay her rent...she just stopped paying. And she refused all assistance from Senior services. The privately owned Assisted Living facility told her several times if she stopped paying, she couldn't stay. She refused to leave.
Thank you. I don't know why they had to handcuff her, but the person who posted this meme is saying that one individual facility should be just happy to house anyone without paying. Yet as many others have said, there are safety nets, even in the US. So, this seemed fishy. Thanks for clearing this up. This is why I hate these types of memes. Even more than that, I really hate people who think they know current events and the state of the world through sensationalized memes and FB posts (instead of actually reading a newspaper or listening to a legitimate news station).

Landlords being gready heartless bastards is common knowledge, but the police office who actually did the arresting needs to aslo be shamed
The police followed the law - they can't decide which law they will enforce, and which they will ignore. If you get evicted and don't leave, they have every right to arrest her, regardless of how old she is.
Load More Replies...Who are those heartless people who can do this? Someone who can do this easily can burn the world.
According to Professor Degges-White from Northern Illinois University, information about the darker aspects of humanity allows the audience to create comparisons to their own behavior. As a result, we feel better about those traits that we might not like in ourselves.
“Whether it's greed, anger, promiscuity, and so on, when we hear just how bad someone else has been, it can make us feel better about our own tendencies towards the dark side traits. It also lets us imagine vicariously what it would be like to be ‘that bad.’”
She continued: “It's kind of like watching all the true crime shows—we enjoy being scared, we enjoy seeing into the minds of people doing things we never would, and it's exciting and novel to see just how far people can go in terms of their dark sides.”
Beekeeper's Life Work Destroyed By Arsonists Who Trashed His Hives, Sheds And Greenhouse
He spent 20 years creating a bee that was able to survive attacks from a killer mite.

Incredible. Left hopeless and speachless. Arsonists should arson themselves
That's heartbreaking. Why do people have to do such nasty things. Especially when it's absolutely nothing to do with them?!
There is something deeply flawed i the human psyche. The urge to destroy seems at least as strong as the urge to create. It's true across the entire spectrum of human activity. My heart goes out to that beekeeper.
So true. My cousin keeps bees and someone trashed the whole lot last year. Just because. We just don't understand why someone would be so awful.

You have no idea. I have mix breed dogs, both rescue, both black. People pull their [in]breed dogs away from mine because they automatically think my dogs have a bad temper (they are trained and well behaved), aren't vaccinated, are infested with fleas or are dirty just because they were strays at some point in their lives. I go downstairs holding my dog because she can't hold her bladder when she's happy or scared. Even so, a former neighbor knocked on my door saying it was my "dirty black animal" who left a puddle on the stairwell. It was soda a kid spilled. So yeah, people are actually racist towards dogs.
Load More Replies...She was told by another passenger… 🤦🏽♀️ https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/10/blind-woman-told-to-get-off-bus-because-guide-dogs-cant-be-black-8329869/
You are describing eacn and every f****r in the u.s. Which is most definitely where this happened.
Load More Replies...News flash AH! Guide Dogs can be any kind and color of large dog. If I'd been a passenger at the front who heard this, I'd have laced into him, even if it meant I'd get kicked off. When I was a little kid, back when Guide Dogs were uncommon, the first one I encountered was visiting a childhood friend of my mom's. Her friend was blind. Guess what breed and color the Guide Dog was?
I used to work for a renowned veterinary cardiologist/internist who did health checks and echocardiograms for the local Guide Dog Foundation for free. You are correct. Overwhelmingly, guide dogs are Labradors but also German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, Boxers, and less commonly breeds like Vizslas, Belgian Shepherds, Bouviers des Flanders, and I once saw a Leonberger litter who were going into the GDFA.
Load More Replies...Oh man, black labs are my favorite, and yes, they are excellent service animals. Good dog!

The professor warned us that living in constant anger (e.g. being angry at how unjust the world is all the time) can have very negative effects on our bodies.
“Constant anger can lead to metabolic diseases, cardiovascular problems, and digestive issues. For some people, health concerns are the reason that they may learn to let go of anger,” she said.
“While being angry can lead to social change and begin to topple barriers and other aspects of injustice, we also know that anger isn't going to be the best choice to build alliances or convince others of the need for change. Finding common ground is essential in making true, collaborative change. This requires us to let go of anger, whether that is finding a way to sublimate it or overcome it, or just put it aside for the time being,” the professor explained that anger, while useful, isn’t the answer to everything. It has a place and a time.
I Really Hate Poachers
Not true, thankfully. These guys are still doing their thing protecting their Gorillas. However, six rangers have been tragically killed in the DRC. REUTERS: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-monkey-selfie-rangers-idUSKBN22O2WD
It's so bizzare someone would come up with this lie just for the sensational title to get retweets. Like their lives doesn't matter, like it's a better story if they are dead. That in itself is what makes me lose faith in humanity here.
Load More Replies...First, poachers suck and there's a special place in Hades for them. That said, I recognize this one as false; one of the gorillas died recently from a long illness last autumn (the twitter post is dated last spring before she even died). She was 14 years old. Just a quick Google search will include many articles about her death. https://www.npr.org/2021/10/08/1044333402/mountain-gorilla-congo-ndakasi
This is not true. One of those gorillas died in his handler's arms recently from illness. I remember the pictures. Stop making up stuff to get likes

When I was around 17 yrs old in NY I came upon a group of goth kids who were beating a female swan with large branches. I fed this swan and her babies everyday. For about 2 years, even though I'm from the hood I've always loved animals. They calm me down and it was an escape from a harsh living environment. Needless to say I beat the main abuser so bad that I was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and other BS charges. Turned out the judge was a huge animal advocate and knew what I did from other people in the neighborhood. Subsequently charged were dropped....swan and her babies were placed in a sanctuary. And I never saw those bastards again cause I would have done it again!! Apologies for the long story just seeing this made me sad!! #animaladvocate #voiceforthevoiceless

Pick Up Your Goddamn Trash
Happy to report that I once rescued a muskrat with a tin can stuck on his head from the middle of a fairly busy freeway. Here's to you, Headley!
Load More Replies...We’ve been conned into thinking we can solve the problem of waste through better individual action. We’re told that if we recycle, we’re doing our part. If we bring reusable bags to the shop, we’re saving the world. The truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this. We need big and benevolent government action.
We need both, everyone blaming someone else when its EVERYONES issue. Governments need to enact strict laws and codes protect the environment, companies need to understand that without the environment they will ultimately go belly up, and for every individual to realize that YES their actions do matter. Carry in carry out, leave nothing but footprints. To blame any single entity (governments, corporations, or individuals) is wrong because we all make up society as a whole, and society as a whole is what has to change.
Load More Replies...All right. I'm not starting my morning this way. Done reading. I just can't...
This is heartbreaking and will haunt me. This is why I love animals and hate people.
This has made me really sad. People who don't pick up their trash are themselves total trash.
The roadsides around where I live in Wales is thick with the rubbish that people just throw out of their vehicles. I hate these people.
I picked up an enormous amount of trash from the side of the road near my home during the beginning of the pandemic lockdown. I was surprised by how little of it was the kind of thing that people would throw out their windows. Most of it seemed to be general commercial and household waste that had blown out of trucks. It might be worth bringing the issue up to whoever collects trash in your area that their trucks are letting quite a bit of material escape.

Despite the fact that the r/extremelyinfuriating subreddit is all about sharing and commenting on infuriating content, the community isn’t about directing this anger against the perpetrators of terrible and heinous acts. It’s not about becoming a vigilante.
The moderators stress time and time again that the subreddit isn’t about starting witch hunts or wishing someone else harm. As such, you should avoid posting any identifying information that could lead to someone getting hurt. (Even if you might personally think that Karma might need a helping hand.)
“This subreddit is about things that are extremely infuriating. This often includes terrible people doing terrible things. But witch hunts and doxxing will not be tolerated, and anyone who provides or attempts to discover the identity (including, but not limited to, real name, Reddit username, Twitter handle, etc.) of anyone involved in a submission will be banned,” the mods of r/extremelyinfuriating explain.

People Who Park In The Handicap Lines
It sure would be a shame if that wheelchair were to accidentally scrape against the side of that shiny black car.
You’re kinder than me. I’d move my car closer and drop the ramp on the side of their car. F*c* that dude.
Load More Replies...911. I have a disabled child and no way to get passed the vehicle that's blocking the ramp access. This is illegal right? Great. Let's tow this b*tch.
Yes, definitely call the police but, not 911 please. This is not an emergency (at least not until the driver of the black car comes back)
Load More Replies...My grandfather had no legs ( had an accident while working on a corvette in the late 70s). I can't tell you how many times this happened to him. Or people taking the handicap parking spaces when they are not really handicapped or if they are, don't have serious mobility issues. I remember my grandfather having to park in the far back parking lot of Walmart during a heavy rainstorm so no one would block his lift from coming down when it was time to go ( since the handicapped spots were taken). When we were leaving we passed one that had no sticker and a very able-bodied fellow was getting out of his car. I was 7. I remember telling that man off and how he should be ashamed and how I hoped he would one day lose his legs. I sometimes wonder if that ever happened. He ended up moving his car. Proud lifetime moment.
Good on you for shaming them into moving. Needing a handicap spot himself, my SO also gives spot abusers an earful. But, being in constant pain, he would never wish that they knew how he felt or would ever need the spot themselves.
Load More Replies...I have a good friend in a wheelchair. Whenever we go somewhere I drive her accessible van. Once in a while I'll run a quick errand for her (quickly in/out of the store for milk or some other thing). If she is not coming in the store, she will not allow me to park in the handicap space. She's like, "Why are you parking here? I don't need to get out. Park in another spot so someone who needs this space can use it."
It would be possible to tow the car. Especially with a police report.

Two vicious heartless killers... And a couple of whales. Fkn pieces of s**t
What always baffles me is why idiots like these two are entitled to have their identities kept secret. Show their faces. Shame them. Stop this now. It's disgusting.
It depends on where it gets posted. Facebook will catch anything with someone else's face plus names and delete it saying it's bullying and harassment(though they never actually did that to the a*****e who tried to use my face as an excuse to be an emotional abuser) and you risk being frozen out of your page or having the group deleted. If it's a proper news site, they can't publish faces if the people say "no you can't use my picture" without opening themselves up to lawsuits, potentially including after a conviction if the criminal is rich enough.

The team behind the subreddit also points out that disagreements are fine, but hostility and insults are definitely not. It’s vital to stay civil even when talking about emotional topics. Taking part in polite discussion lies at the core of the online group, even if the subject matter is extremely infuriating to most people.
What’s more, the mods point out that it’s never okay to wish harm on someone. “You can express your frustration or dislike for someone without advocating for them to be physically harmed or murdered,” they write.
Ugh

A lot of people don't think about how much this helps people with disabilities. Maybe they could change the wrapping or, what I'd really like, is if we could bring produce, cheese, etc to a counter and ask them to peel or cut things for us for a small fee so only what is needed is done and it could be put in a more biodegradable bag. My grandmother can't use her hands very well and our local grocer had peeled oranges and they often had chopped vegetables for stir fry it was so nice for a about a month before people started protesting it so they stopped. Unless we can come over and do it for her - and we live a state away - she can't have certain things. Honestly, there are so many things that go on in the food industry and at grocery stores that are so much worse than this to be protesting over.

What? Never underestimate the depravity of Rethuglicans.....
Load More Replies...The school did end up reversing its decision (5-4 vote), but stated that they were afraid that once the federal government was in charge of feeding the kids it would have the ultimate authority and not the local school boards. So, they would rather keep their power than ensure that no kids go hungry. That sounds about right for many of the decisions made by school boards across the USA these past 2 years. As a teacher, I absolutely love this new program and hope it stays. I no longer have to quietly figure out who in my class isn't getting to eat and then sneak them food so their classmates don't know they aren't bringing their own lunch. I have fewer kids complaining about being hungry throughout the day, we instead get to focus on what we are actually there for, the learning.
My mom used to be you. She did not want to start any lectures, until she was convinced that everyone was comfortable (that is, that no one is cold in the classroom, and that everyone is full and that no one is thirsty), she justified this by explaining briefly at each session of the professors at the beginning how students learn best if they are not distracted by irrelevant things that can be eliminated before the start of each lecture.

Thank you for being there for our children. I can't imagine how hard it was before the pandemic, during the lock downs and virtual learning. And even now. I agree completely with what you are saying. I had friends who only ate the 2 small meals during school hours and wouldn't eat during the evenings and weekends. This is a message that thrybcsre more about the bottom line than the future of our world. These kids are given very little help in life and people wonder why they can't dig themselves out as they grow up and are stuck in the same cycle their parents were in. If we valued education more than the money that they refuse to put in then it would be amazing where these kids take us in the future. I am so sorry because I know that you don't get paid enough for all of your hard work and dedication only to be slapped with more and more polices that aren't designed to help kids. Like the year ahead lesson reviews or the proposed rule of not talking to your students about their lives outside of school. I know that teachers see heart breaking things every day and can help by getting enough information to report in abuse or letting an at risk child know that at least someone cares about them enough to see what's giving in their lives. Sorry for the ramble. Just thank you.

Something that can’t be denied is that many people have a strange fascination with the darker aspects of humanity. Bored Panda spoke to psychologist Lee Chambers about this in detail, with regards to the popularity of the true-crime genre, as well as why people enjoy viewing media that portrays violence and evil.
"When considering why the darker side of humanity and entertainment are so compelling, we have to first look at our evolutionary journey as human beings. For the majority of our existence, we were prey and always hyperaware of threats to our safety, which created a negativity bias that we are drawn towards," the psychologist began.

Cancel Your F**king Appointments If You Don't Need Them! The NHS Is Already Crumbling!

Same here. Appointments are like gold dust and yet there are many idiots who can’t be bothered with theirs.
Load More Replies...What about the time the patients waste WAITING to see the doctor past appointment time?
Based on my GP, it's because they have 10 minutes to see each patient, and too many patients take longer than 10 minutes to list their symptoms, or they present with one issue and then say "Oh, and I also have...". It would be nice if GPs could give the patients the time they need (and I'd bet at least a couple are just lonely old people needing anyone to talk to) but our system has been systematically destroyed by successive governments who only see it as a money pit. As wonderful as it is, it's broken.

No one answered the phone and there was no way to leave a message. I had to literally go back to the clinic to cancel the appointment in person. And since I had to do that, I just went to the appointment. Wasting the doctor's time and time that could have been used by someone else.
What if I try to call 15 times inside business hrs and no one answers?
Easy fix, make them pay for the appointment if not timely cancelled. That's how dentists do it in The Netherlands.
Should be proportional to the amount of notice given and whether or not that appointment slot can be filled. I had to cancel a dentist appointment with two hours notice because I'd been rushed to A&E (accident and emergency room). Those things don't tend to come with much advance notice, and the dentist was kind enough to rearrange and not penalise me, even though they'd be well within their rights.
Load More Replies...If all those people DIDNT attend, didnt that free up a s**t load of your time ? The f**k were you doing ?
It takes about 15 minutes upto 30 minutes just to get through to a receptionist, our GP will literally only let you book on the day unless it's something like asthma clinic, vitamin injection, etc. It's not very easy to cancel. (I'm not agreeing with people not attending, just it's a little too difficult to cancel)
I went to an income based mental health clinic that had so many missed appointments that they instituted an appointment time-frame that you had to call them and get your appointment the week of. It made it impossible to schedule time off from work in advance, and if you didn't call during your time, you could only come in and sit in the waiting room hoping that they will have a cancellation or no show to get seen. It doesn't only ways the time of the staff, it prevents people who DO make their appointments and reschedule them when they can't make it from getting appointments!
Strikes a nerve with me. The doctors/nurses typically do a wonderful job given the resources they have but I'd estimate incompetent scheduling has wasted far more than 39 hours of mine each year. All told, I'd guess their scheduling has wasted far more hours than no-show patients.

There’s a saying disenfranchised people subscribe to. If the system fails you, make your own system. The fact of the matter is the system is failing everyone
i hope this person steps on legos on top of a landmine <3
the sad part is that the thief may have needed it as transport just as much as the nurse did. it always comes back to money; if the thief had enough, they wouldn't have needed to steal the bike, regardless of why they did so.
Considering nurses are not respected much... They probably are proud. smh.

We had a huge collection of Playmobile and lego as kids and when we got older we used them less and less. Instead of throwing them away or selling them, we gave it all to a neighbour's kid with severe ADHD. The mother called us in tears the next day, because her son had been calm for the first time in months, peacefully engrossed in playing with the legos and playmobile for several hours. He'd covered the entire floor of his room with it, but that was worth it.
Even if you don't play, you can sell, donate, recycle. To just bin it it was 100% to make a point
“There is a level of novelty to it, it removes boredom quickly, and it helps us to discover our emotional limits while understanding the minds of those who go beyond social norms and potentially gaining knowledge of how we might avoid being victims ourselves.

As strange and uncomfortable as it sounds, seeing evil things done by and to people who are not us while we’re safe at home in front of the screen has a certain “comforting element” to it.
"It can take us on an emotional rollercoaster, have us trying to solve the puzzle and test our fear in a controlled way. The permission to explore evil is powerful, as we so rarely get the chance elsewhere, and in itself, it is healthy and normal in moderation," he said, stressing that moderation is the key. Consuming too much negativity and violence in the media can affect us in ways that we don’t want.

App Doesn’t Let You Tip What You Want
I ordered delivery once when my family was gone and I was home sick. The app would only let me leave 20% max and my food was like only $7-$8. I thought that was a total sh!t tip and I never would have given that little. (Hell, if I wasn't sick, I would have gone and gotten it myself.) To get around it, I taped an envelope to the door with a note explaining the stupid tip policy and a $10 bill. They texted me a nice thank you note, which I appreciated but I was just so grateful to get fed!

Imho tips as a thing should be gone altogether from everywhere. You provide service for which you should be fairly compensated and not rely on somebodies generosity to make a living. It also greatly unfair to the customer who might have just enough for the product but not for "obligatory" tipping.

"The challenge we face is the fact that consuming too much of this can desensitize us, and cause us to become less empathetic to the suffering of others, more fearful of our own environment, and potentially be more likely to use aggression ourselves. It can also cause us to be triggered by our own previous adverse experiences, make it harder to manage our own emotional balance, and increase our stress levels, so moderating our consumption is something we should have front of mind, even when we get embroiled in the latest series that is pulling us in."
According to the psychologist, consuming media like television shows can be a way to relax, explore ourselves in new contexts, and to start conversations with our social circles. However, we have to seriously dial back on this type of entertainment when we see it impacting our life.
This Is Not The Way To Do It Y’all
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.
On top of that: What did the vandal hope to accomplish? To make the SUV owner sell their vehicle to someone else and buy a smaller car? Even if they did that, there would just be someone else driving the SUV...
Load More Replies...Hopefully by "deflating" they literally mean they released air from the valve. At least that's not going to cost anything but time to put right. Not that it justifies it in any way.
If the car sits on the rim, the side wall of the tire can be damaged. This is very unsafe, as it can lead to a blowout. The tire needs to be replaced, or at least inspected for damage. Also, this can cause damage to the rim, leading to future slow leaks, and ironically, greater fuel consumption.

My apartment complex had really nice indoor mailbox units. I use a wheelchair (paralyzed from a car accident) and the mailbox unit was wall mounted and literally five feet from my front door, inside of a nice air-conditioned/heated hallway. But for some reason, people kept tearing doors off of their own mailboxes for fun. They weren't even stealing stuff inside, just breaking the boxes. After the third time they were destroyed, the apartment complex decided to install a super heavy duty steel/concrete mailbox unit outdoors for the entire complex. It has security lights, cameras, etc all around it. It's so big it didn't fit near the buildings so it's now nearly a full block away from where I live so if I'm sick or it's snowy/rainy, it can be impossible to get my mail.

Thank Mailman, Who Said Reading Is Essential??
My boyfriend ordered an incredibly expensive and rare comic from the 70s. The person selling it had put "Do not bend!" All over it. The postman couldn't fit it in the letterbox, so rather than leaving a "While you were out card" and taking it back to the sorting office to be picked up the next day, he folded it in half lengthways and shoved it through. It would've been a pristine copy otherwise but now it has giant vertical creases on every single page. D**k.

My brother specifically mentioned a medical package that said "handle with care: human eyes" was just thrown across the room to another conveyor belt like it was a basket ball getting passed for a slam dunk. The package was smashed and they didn't think twice about keeping it moving. It's just cheaper to pay to replace the 2-3% or stuff that breaks every day then it is to hire twice as many people to do a good job.

yeap, so now the view from above or under the bridge is ruined
Load More Replies...From Wikipedia: The first wooden bridge on top of the ruins was built in 1845. By 1937 the castle island became the foundation for a new road bridge made of concrete. The bridge, called Linnansilta ("castle bridge"), was originally the only bridge across the Kajaani River. After the construction of later bridges, traffic across Linnansilta decreased, and there are plans to take down the bridge and give this national monument a due and proper restoration.
If I'm not too wrong, this is the worlds northernmost stone castle. Built in the 1600s.
Why be mad about this one? They built over it. If anything, it creates a really awesome scenic moment to enjoy.
This Is Infuriating
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.

Why Even Get My Missing Assignments Done If The Best I Can Get Is 22%
Many schools have this policy. Late = 0. It was how my uni handled it to, either you handed it in before the deadline or you got 0. Exceptions were made if there was a death in the family or your laptop exploded but rules are rules.
wait they didn't hand in their assignment on time and they upset they were given a 0 . oh my goodness those heartless people.
Load More Replies...I think the title is incorrect… this isn’t 22%, it’s 17 out of 22 points, which would’ve been a 77% if it weren’t late. But the “why even get my missing assignments done” part is why I have a very different grading policy. Late work is accepted within a penalty of 10% per day for 5 days. If it’s turned in beyond that, it’s a 50%… no matter how late it is. Half credit is better than no credit. At a certain point, with enough late work, a grade is unrecoverable when you earn zeros, but it’s still salvageable if you earn a few half credits. And if everything is always more than 5 days late, then 50% is still an F, so there’s still an incentive to turn work in on time.
The best I can get is 22%, they said. If they had gotten a 22/22 and had the 17 points subtracted, they would have gotten a 5. 5/22 is around 22%.

Getting a zero helps you understand there are consequences for missing a deadline. But clearly, you're missing a lot of points with this post.
Irresponsible student wants special rules and privileges as a reward for their laziness. Entitlement generation.
Unless you get special dispensation, late assignments should be worth 0. And I don't believe it's that the penalty is specifically -17 and you could have gotten 5 points (22%), I think no matter what, the late penalty would make it equal 0. Don't be late.

The McDonald's Employees Here Are A Different Species. How Do You Forget The Burger Patty In A Burger?
Here's one for us old folks. Q: Have you heard of the Hearst burger? A: Open it up and the patty's gone.
Imagine being paid minimum wage, being rushed off your feet, being yelled at by customers, being told its unskilled work, and making an honest mistake that you are of course happy to fix.
I've worked in food service all my life and this does happen. People want to say it's an idiot's mistake but honestly if you make two hundred burgers a day and forget one patty in your whole career that's a good f*****g average. Try it yourself.
This happened to me before. Went to a doctors appointment and returned to highschool at lunch. My dad took me to McDonald's before dropping me off to eat with my friends. Was starving because I skipped breakfast. Get to school excited to eat only to find a quarter pounder without the quarter pound lol. Was in such a rush I didn't even notice the weight difference plus I always added leaf lettuce and extra pickles and onions to my burger so along with the bun its not like it was weightless. I didn't eat it even though I wanted to, for the sole purpose of going back after school to show them their mistake. Wound up getting two instead of one as an apology from the staff. Good times lol

ocd isn't being a perfectionist or wanting everything to align correctly. it's a serious mental condition that results in a lot of fear, anxiety, depression, panic, repetitive thoughts, & ritualistic behavior. it isn't a quirky personality trait, it's a mental illness that shouldn't be treated like a joke because it means people who actually have ocd won't be taken seriously by others.

Looks like tempered glass shattered. I heard it can happen on its own.
Load More Replies...These kind of issues with tempered glass panels are the reason i've stuck with my Corsair carbide air 540 case for so long. Acrylic side panels are much safer and can still look good for years as long as you only clean them with a lightly dampened none abrasive cloth.
Totally confirm this, unfortunately it's becoming harder and harder to find good cases with acrylic side panels. Apparently everyone wants glass panels now.

Apologies, just going to put my pointy tech hat on. If drive was formatted in FAT32 (only sees 32GB) format the drive in NTFS to see it all. Apologies again to those I bored.......
That's literally not what FAT32 means, or how FAT32 works. FAT32 is a 32-bit index, which allows for 4GB of addressing in older versions, and 2TB is newer versions that get sneaky about how they index. Most thumb drives are formatted (or should be) with exFAT (extended FAT) though, which allows for 128PB (petabytes) maximum addressing.
Load More Replies...There's a ton of these scam products on Amazon, eBay, and Aliexpress. No-name trash that claims to be a certain size and MIGHT even format to the advertised size (but not usually), but then doesn't actually have the advertised space on the physical chip.

Live and let live, my dude. If this makes you angry, you should probably just go live in the woods by yourself for the rest of your life. Save yourself some heartache.
There are reasons people were socks at beaches, most of them medical some mental, and others just this is what people want to do.
That's not to bad. But if it was my vehicle your friend would be walking.

Cat was sick of that odd tile so he did what he could so that you change the floor.
PLEASE NOTE: Laundry detergent is extremely harmful to cats. If they get it on their fur and start licking it, it can ad will destroy their kidneys and livers and they will die a horrible death. Please keep detergents far away from cats and wash them right away if they get some on their bodies.
Why do you have cleaning products where your cat can reach them
I have two rescue dogs who have perfected the art of ripping open refuse sacks (on the evening before refuse collection day).
Time to get rid of you and get them a shelf.

I Live In Norway And Am Allergic To The Cold
Perhaps because Norway is pretty much always cold and freezing.

Oh no- I have a mild allergy to cold, but it’s not nearly as bad as this- I just get a few hives when my feet get really cold. This looks really unpleasant :(

Or, you know, plug one of them into the other side of the cord. Those cords have three outlets, two on one side and a single on the other side.
Not all of these are like that, granted this looks like A regular extension cord and it's a bit short so it probably does, but it's not a given.
