We’re meant to appreciate the little things in life, but it gets very challenging to do so when they mostly consist of mildly infuriating daily inconveniences. You know, those like stubbing your toe, getting an eyelash stuck in your eye, or buying a dozen cracked eggs because you forgot to check them in the store. In the grand scheme of things, these trifles shouldn’t matter that much, but oh boy, can they get under the skin. 

People online have been sharing many such minor inconveniences that tested their patience, which our Bored Panda team compiled in the list below. It’s all just a scroll away—but be warned—you risk ruining your mood just by looking at them.

9 Of 10 RSVP’d Children/Families “No Call No Showed” To My Daughter's 5th Birthday Party

Cupcakes with pink frosting and number 5 decorations displayed on a stand, mildly infuriating design flaw visible.

Parents and future parents, if you RSVP to a child’s party. Show up. If you cannot, communicate that you are unable to make it.
Being asked for an hour straight, “When are my friends showing up?” “Oh, there’s a white car! Is my friend in there??”
IT'S HEARTBREAKING.

I have seen sad stories like this before, and I never thought it could happen to us. It did. It’s horrible. I just ask that anyone reading this will remember this thread, and be better!!
Fortunately, our adult friends at least made an appearance, but none of her preschool classmates came that RSVP they would be.
9 of the 10 parents didn’t even let us know they couldn’t make it!

She was surrounded by adults who love her, and everyone was aware of what went wrong so she was smothered with love and affection to try and replace any memories of friends not showing up with that of the adults in her life appreciating and loving her!

    This Piece Of Grass Just Cost Me £1700

    Two images showing mildly infuriating things testing patience: a tiny object in a tube and a dog with a toy on artificial grass.

    So my dog got a lump on her back that they thought could be cancer. When the vet went to do a biopsy, they found a foreign body in the lump. Turns out this piece of grass had penetrated her skin and caused an abscess. Cost £1700 with the bloods, operation, and meds. But at least she doesn't have cancer, so I'm skint but happy.

    We have two accident prone dogs. We also have insurance. It's definitely worth it. One of ours dislocated a finger ON BOXING DAY. So the vet appointment alone was several hundred pounds. Total bill was over £400 but we only paid the excess of £100.

    Roblox Will Be Uninstalled

    C*****d TV screen with colorful lines and a PlayStation 5 console nearby, showing mildly infuriating patience test.

    My wife called while I was at work and said it was a little “scratch” on the monitor… After further investigation, I found out my 7-year-old got annoyed at Roblox and threw the controller at it. It really ticks me off how my wife always sugarcoats everything he does. Like I can't even discipline him without her getting in the middle of it or shielding him like I’m a total abusive monster... This is crazy because I don’t even spank my kids; all it takes is a stern voice, and they start crying.

    Lowercase is not "off brand", just not the original. Corning sold the brand. PYREX (all caps) typically refers to the original borosilicate glass, known for its high resistance to thermal shock and used for labware and older cookware, while modern cookware with the lowercase pyrex logo (in the U.S.) is generally made of less expensive soda-lime glass.

    A case of "They don't make 'em like they used too." Vintage Pyrex was made of borosilicate glass, modern Pyrex is made of tempered soda-lime glass, which has a lower resistance to extreme temperature changes.

    Our Dog Chewed My Wife’s Passport 12 Hours Before Our International Flight

    Worn and partially torn US passport held open, showing damage that tests people’s patience in travel documents.

    We were packing for our family trip to Jamaica, and I heard my wife scream upstairs. She just tells me, “I’m not going to Jamaica,” and shows me her passport. Only the main page shown is torn. Nothing else. (The image depicted is after she tried taping it back together.) She dropped it on the bed for a second, and the dog got to it. And she is normally not destructive like that, but despite how annoyed we were, we couldn’t blame her.

    After reality had sunk in, I hopped on a call with a passport department inquiring about an emergency passport. They apparently only give them out if there is a tragedy in the family, etc. They searched for appointments nearby, and the only one on the East Coast was in Buffalo, NY, at 8 am the following day. So we changed my wife’s flight and sent her tour to Buffalo, and got her a 10:45 am flight out from Buffalo to Orlando, then to Jamaica, hoping that it would work.

    They don’t guarantee that you will get it the same day, but the reviews for the location were surprisingly positive, so we were hopeful. She shows up an hour early, is first in line, and they tell her they can get it the same day, but won’t start printing passports till 10 am. The manager came out and told my wife she should probably change her flight because he can’t guarantee that she will get it in time for the 10:45 flight.

    She comes back around 10, sits right, and the woman at the front desk gives a friendly wink to my wife. At 10:15, the manager tells my wife’s passport is printing. Around 10:20-10:25, they hand it to her and she hits the find driver button on the uber app. She gets picked up and takes the 15-minute ride to the airport. The uber driver told her he’s driven MANY people who flew from out of state to Buffalo for a same day passport, and he believed she could make it. Well, she did. Boarding got delayed, but she made it with like 10 minutes to spare and arrived in Jamaica only 3 hours after we did.
    It was beyond exhausting!

    10-Year-Old Nephew Threw A Fit And Broke Four Of My CDs On Christmas

    Four different CD cases laid open on a white surface, showcasing album art and discs causing mild infuriation.

    For context, my (step)nephew is my (step)brother’s kid. My nephew and his mother don’t live here anymore, so they come over for a few hours on holidays and weekends.
    On Christmas Day, I had opened all of my presents and gotten two CDs (KISS and Weezer) and a nice glass CD storage rack that my mom says was approximately $30. I have 23 CDs, including my new ones, and was sitting in the living room with my mom while I put my CDs into the storage rack. My nephew came over to get gifts from his grandma (my step-mom / my mom’s girlfriend) and my mom, as she had gotten him a gift too. I still had all my presents out in the living room since I didn’t want to put them away yet.
    While he was over, he had gotten upset because I had gotten a lot more presents than him (he got a second Nintendo Switch [broke his first one and a $500 drone, so he genuinely had nothing to be jealous of). He started to throw a tantrum, and so his mom tried to explain that he had gotten a lot more gifts at home and a lot more expensive gifts than me. He didn’t seem to care because he ended up grabbing my CD rack and throwing it on the ground, shattering the CD rack and breaking four of my CDs, including one of my new ones.

    The two in the picture were the two that thankfully only had broken cases. Mom says the KISS CD was $25. The Linkin Park one was only about $8 because I got it from McKays (kinda like a thrift store for books and video games–they only have like 5 locations, so I don’t think many people would know what it is). The two others were $20 CDs that were snapped in half. There were 3 other ones that had small cracks in their cases, but they still work perfectly fine. I think in total he did ~$100 of damage. I know that’s not really a lot of money but I’m 15 and paid for a lot of my CDs myself with money I made from cleaning and walking dogs so in my mind that’s like 3 bedrooms cleanings and 2 dog walks.

    I obviously ended up crying because he broke my two favorite CDs, and my moms kicked him and his mom out. His mom says that I’m being dramatic and that he shouldn’t be getting in trouble for breaking some “cheap CDs”. She also tried to pull the “he’s only ten” card, which annoyed me so bad because no 10-year-old should still be throwing tantrums.

    I remain astonished by parents who do not believe they have to pay for damages caused by their children. I don't care what it is. If your child breaks something, you are responsible for replacing it or paying for it. The world is not responsible for damages your child causes, you are. Not only is this mother not making it right, she's insulting the person that got their things broken. She's a do*che.

    Colleague Destroyed A Painting I Wanted To Buy

    Framed landscape painting with a large tear in the center, showcasing mildly infuriating things testing patience.

    I work at a thrift store and we had about 10 paintings coming in all really beautifully done, the frames where also very neat. I fell in love with this one in the photo but someone else had to price it before i could buy it so i ended up waiting until the end of the day to see if they got priced yet. My workday was almost over so i decided to walk to the back to see if the painting was priced yet and lo and behold, 10 painting in the trashcan. And not just in the trash can, my coworker stabbed them with a scissor. She smashed up the frames from the other paintings too and did the same to the art. I asked her why she did that and she just said "they never sell in store" while ive seen plenty of painting leaving the store for good prices and if we cant sell them we always end up using them for our own creative projects.

    I of course went to my supervisor and he said he would have a word with her but i was absolutely furious, i cant stop looking at the painting and how beautiful it was. I also feel bad for the person/artist that donated the paintings thinking they would get a loving new home.

    Paid Extra For Legroom Seats, But Spent 4 Hours With Kids Blocking The Emergency Exit Window

    Crowded airplane aisle with passengers standing and blocking space, illustrating mildly infuriating things that tested patience.

    I was flying with my sister and niece, and we paid €30 each for extra legroom seats. Seemed worth it for a 4-hour flight… until a dad and his two kids decided that the emergency door window right next to us was the most fascinating thing they’d ever seen.

    They stood there almost the entire flight, leaning over us, pointing, chatting loudly, and completely blocking the space we paid extra for. We had to call the flight attendant 3 times to get them to move, but they just kept coming back after a few minutes.

    The third time the FA came to tell them to sit down, she was already annoyed and warned them this would be the last time she told them to move. Sometimes I wish Europe were as strict as the US with the no fly lists.

What I didn't know (and didn't think to check!) until the mechanic told me a week later is that they jacked it up and tried to steal the wheels, leaving me only the four locking wheel nuts and two they couldn't unscrew. I'd driven 100 miles like that up to 60mph!

    I had that and it drove me crazy for months until I took it to the eye doc. I had no idea what was going on, just that the eye itched constantly. He said, "You ok with a brief bit of pain?", I snorted, he leaned in and plucked it, and I was healed in 3 seconds. Anybody could have done it if I'd known.

Accidents happen but the least they could have done was tell them about it and apologize. I hate when people say “oh you can just get a new one”. That’s not the point!

    My House Was Built On A Landfill

    A shallow hole dug in grass with broken glass and rusty bottles, illustrating mildly infuriating things testing patience.

    My house was built on a landfill...

    While trying to plant a cherry tree in my yard, I kept hitting hard things about 4 in below the surface. I was really hoping there'd be some large cool stones I could add to my landscaping, but nope. It was just bottles and bottles and bottles and tons more broken glass bottles. After all this digging through and separating pieces of broken glass from my lovely, rich soil and keeping my 3-year-old away because he wanted to help pick up the glass, I had fill it back in because I dug too close to the house.

    So my yoshina cherry tree is still not planted, and I have two apple trees and two peach trees to get in the ground as well. So after all of that, I will not be doing that today. It continuously becomes more and more evident that the previous homeowners who built our house were very trashy. Also, we have grubs and wild hogs that keep tearing up our yard to find them.

    My Dad Is One Of "Those" Drivers

    Navigation app showing a car speeding at 144 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, mildly infuriating and testing patience.

    I had to pick my parents up from the airport today, my Dad insists on driving any time he can. It doesn't matter how many times I offer, he will be the one driving if we are going somewhere (especially if we are driving his SUV, which I was today for their luggage). He speeds, weaves, and curses at anyone in front of him. He also has started glancing at his phone from time to time which makes me want to scream. It gets me clenching the door handle and closing my eyes at times just to try and calm myself down. And all of this nonsense just to get home roughly 2-6 minutes faster than we would have.

    I have some genuine anxiety attached to driving, thanks to a rather traumatizing high school driver's Ed program put on at our local hospital. We got to learn all about the ways that reckless driving and speeding can destroy lives and futures. Thanks to that, I've always been a very defensive and cautious driver. To my family, I'm just the "anxious driver" so no one ever wants to be my passenger cause I "drive in slower lanes" and "don't try to pass others".

    Trying to mention that his driving makes me uncomfortable/unsafe or asking him to slow down never goes well. He also drives this way with his kids and/or wife in the car, so I'm sure he also does it when he drives his grandson. It's all so infuriating and I can't really do anything about it. Mentioning it is like "questioning his skills as a man" which is just so barf, I don't care that you feel emasculated.
