While we all need a fair share of news to keep up to date with the world around us, the truth is, we don’t always benefit from that emotionally. Quite often the opposite happens. What we read or watch or hear may upset us, leaving us anxious and irritated for the rest of the day.

Sometimes it’s the sheer facts that trigger us negatively, like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or the dreadful plastic pollution in the oceans. And other times, it’s not the facts but rather the presentation of how one thing or another is told to us.

The headlines, for example, are notorious for inflating and misrepresenting things and we always have to take them with a pinch of salt. And even if we do, they may still frustrate us, as they did to people on the Trashy community on Reddit. Below we wrapped up the headlines that, according to people, have maddened them the most.

We rented an apartment (coincidentally, in Arizona) and the apartment complex manager’s car had a custom license plate that read, “EVICTOR.” I thought it was disgraceful.

People that are responsible for taking supposedly abused children out of their families wore shirts with the print "Professional kidnapper" in the front and "Do you know where your children are?" on the back to work...

Written off, yes, Retrained, yes. But fired? All of them? That is not helping the children that need social workers in that moment.

I think these workers were trying to make a point...CPS IS responsible for MANY "missing" children, and the reasons kids are taken away from guardians is many times VERY questionable.

As a social worker i feel absolutely disgusted by this. The work is complex and hard enough as it is. I guess its a protest against the threats and media circus we all have been exposed to (and i absolutely can understand that frustration) BUT its still against our core values (and highly unethical.)

When my son was 3, he managed with one swing of his arm to knock multiple bottles of lotion off a low shelf causing one to crack open and spill lotion all over. I was very much watching my kid. He wasn’t goofing off. Genuine accident. We (he helped, kinda) put the non-broken ones away and we went up to costumer service to pay for the broken lotion. It was a weird conversation. Me: My son broke this lotion. I think I’m supposed to pay for it. Employee: Do you want the lotion? M: No. E: Then you don’t have to pay for it. I told him which aisle so they could clean it up and we continued shopping. You are responsible for your kids and their actions and mistakes. Our family phrase is: Look with your eyes, not your hands. when we’re in public, at stores, etc. I didn’t understand why we didn’t pay for the lotion. Felt guilty. I very much don’t understand this headline, but I also don’t know what I’d do if my son broke something I couldn’t afford to pay for.
