50 Times People Stumbled Upon Things That Were So Mildly Infuriating, They Had To Share Pics Online (New Pics)
It only takes so much to ruin a perfectly good day. From little things like waiting for the 5-second ad skip countdown, to paying for an overpriced meal that doesn’t even taste good, to dealing with bureaucracy and the wild goose chase it leads to. These minor annoyances, first-world problems, not-that-big-a-deal issues, or whatever you want to call them, they’re all around us. They're real. They’re blood boiling. And just thinking about them is enough to drive anyone up the wall.
Apparently, some of these hassles tend to trigger the same vague feelings of frustration in virtually everyone, uniting people in their experiences. Feeling irritated and uncomfortable, people instantly turn to the internet to vent. So we at Bored Panda have put together a list of photos of the mildly infuriating things and pet peeves that prove just how annoying everyday problems can get.
While we suggest you take a deep breath before you continue scrolling through this vivid compilation of pictures, you may find comfort in knowing there’s definitely someone who shares your pain. So enjoy (or loathe?) witnessing these annoyance-inducing examples and be sure to upvote the most accurate ones, and then let us know what tips you over the edge down below in the comments.
Psst! For more mildly infuriating madness, check out our earlier features here, here, and right here.

Robert McKenzie 3 years ago (edited)
Great point. I have no problem with this *if* I have money to spare, but I understand how it can seem very rude when you have to watch every penny. However, I always wonder later if those charities really DO get that money; that makes me feel very uncomfortable. If they are happy to withhold superannuation and other benefits from their employees, what is stopping them from keeping any donations for themselves? I used to work for Hewlett-Packard in the good old days (when Bill and Dave were in control) which taught me about corporate responsibility. I simply don't see that attitude anymore these days; it is every board member for himself, with an eye on the share price.

Paid $550 for my daughter to have OFF campus parking at her school. She has to take a shuttle from campus to her car if she wants to go anywhere. That should be included in the $30k per year tuition they charge.
Arwen 3 years ago
Hospital parking is free where I live but unfortunately people abuse it by using it as a park and ride, leaving their cars all day and taking the bus to the town centre because there’s no free parking in town. So it’s almost impossible to get a parking space if you have an appointment or are visiting during the day.

My last university had two parking lots for the entire campus. Two. With like 15 spaces each. Makes 30 spaces. Additionally the city prohibited parking in the spots on the street after a couple of years, except you had a card saying you lived in the street. The most ridiculous thing, it was just a temporary prohibition, meaning you weren't allowed to park there from 8 am till 6 pm. (+ Most students live outside the city in rural areas with terrible public transport. The university knew it but didn't even consider creating car parks underneath new buildings...)

Load More Replies...Day after day, we consistently get annoyed by the little things. From picking up after our roommates to dealing with people who don’t understand the concept of personal space, it’s easy to lose self-control over these minor yet infuriating problems that get under our skin. But why do we tend to react to these repetitive and unpredictable inconveniences in a harsh manner? Is our anger and disappointment with the world something we can resist or even control?
To gain insight on the topic from an expert, we reached out to Dr. Jesse Matthews, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist based in Chester Springs, PA. According to him, frustration is a normal part of life because things don't always go our way and won’t always happen as we want them to.
"People who tend to be frustrated more often, however, often feel this way because of unrealistic expectations. For example, they expect that it won’t take them more than 20 minutes to get to work, so when they encounter traffic, they forget they had to stop for gas or there is a slow driver in front of them, and frustration quickly sets in."
It's safe to say that everyone can relate to these situations, but by "starting out with realistic expectations and taking any of these factors into account, we could actually flip the script and get to work the majority of the time without experiencing any frustration," Dr. Matthews told Bored Panda.

I've gotten nowhere with the "unsubscribe," so I started marking them SPAM.
Pheebs 3 years ago
So, for the US there’s some reasoning behind this - it’s not unusual for some companies to have an unsubscribe system that’s not the same one that sends the emails. I used to work for a company that did multimedia marketing, and email was one of our services. We had customers that tried to get us to replace our own unsubscribe with their’s so they had the master list of who opted out. We didn’t allow this because of these types of issues - slow turn around to clean up lists, or the client wouldn’t give us the lists and kept marketing to them. Our system automatically removed opt out people from future sends, no wait. We had other clients that had their own email sends, but hooked the opt out up to some side database. A lot of email send clients take flat file - CSV, excel, or text - so someone would have to do periodic data clean ups to get people truly opted out.
We also got in touch with Dr. Jenn Veilleux, a licensed clinical psychologist and researcher of emotion and self-regulation. She explained that frustration is a feeling that belongs in the anger "family," or, in other words, it's a mild form of anger that resembles irritation.
Frustration is the most common emotional label we use when referring to everyday annoyances or larger issues in life. Together with anger, these emotions happen when a person interprets a situation as unfair or unjust — that someone has been wronged, Dr. Veilleux told us.
"Many (most? all?) people feel frustration sometimes, and that's actually a good thing because we have emotions for a reason! I like to tell my therapy clients that we can only feel emotions about things we care about, so frustration is a sign that something matters. If being frustrated is a sign that a situation is unfair or unjust, that feeling can prompt actions to correct the unfairness or injustice. Anger helps people confront wrongdoing, to right a wrong."

Of course, seeing everything as an injustice is definitely not healthy. "Frustration occurs when the world isn't as it 'should' be," Dr. Veilleux added. "People who feel frustrated a lot often have rigid and inflexible thinking about how the world is supposed to work." But the problem with this line of thinking is that there is no "one" or "right" way the world is or should be.
When it comes to mildly infuriating things, they don’t immediately trigger wild emotions in us. A loud noise may take us by surprise and make us twitch. But our neighbor’s blaring music played over and over again during the night really tests our patience. "Mildly infuriating things can blow up into blood boiling when they aren't dealt with and managed," Dr. Veilleux noted.

It's even weirder when it happens to kids centimetre sizes. Like size 120 is for a child that is 120 cm tall. But one brand defended their girls sizes being smaller, both length and width, since girls are smaller than boys. Yeah, no. In that age girls are generally bigger, but more importantly the size is in freaking centimetres, it's a standardised measurement. Girls measuring 110 cm aren't shorter than a boy that measures 110.

So in jrs if you're buying jeans it's 3, 5, 7 etc but women's it's 4, 6, 8...I'm 34 and still wear plenty of old "juniors" stuff as them "women's" sections feel older than I am still.

A brief scroll through this list filled with pictures that arouse a vague feeling of frustration may convince you that there’s a universal element to these situations that everyone finds infuriating. According to Dr. Matthews, there’s a sense of ubiquitousness in minor stressors we experience in our daily lives. "Traffic, slow drivers, detours, waiting in long lines, or technology not working as expected are all things we can relate to and we expect them to be unpleasant, annoying, and even unbearable."
"We can also commiserate over them with friends or even bystanders once we arrive at our destination, which further validates our idea that these are things that just happen to us and helps us to maintain our views about them being as bad as they are," Dr. Matthews said.

"We all have our 'things' that annoy us, but they are different things," Dr. Veilleux said. "A person who cares about the rules is irritated when rules are violated. A person who cares about social justice is frustrated by bigotry and discrimination. Because we have different depictions of fairness and what is right/wrong, we also have different frustrations."

It’s important to remember that we feel these emotional responses for a reason. While usually, they lead to anger and uncomfortable feelings, they can also inspire us to act. "When frustration bubbles up into people taking action to make things happen differently or better, then frustration has done what it was designed to do. If frustration with ourselves prompts self-reflection and growth and learning, then that's also a good thing," Dr. Veilleux added. "Sometimes frustration needs to be 'harnessed.'"

But when these minor annoyances take the better of you, they must be managed. Dr. Veilleux explained that regular feelings of frustration take a toll on physical and mental health, so always acting on them isn't helpful. In these cases, she prefers to think about "letting go" rather than control.
"Frustration is particularly frustrating (meta-frustration?) when a person feels like they can do nothing to change their situation," the psychologist said. "Sometimes that is true, and then frustration just eats a person alive from the inside. Then the solution is to open a window, acknowledge that the frustration is there, but focus the mind on pleasurable things or on areas of life that you can control." And when you reframe the situation, you allow for more flexibility that can help reduce anger.

Somebody should audit their books to make sure they are spending that money on cleaning. Hotel cleaners are among the lowest paid, hardest working people in the US. Until the Department of Labor cracked down on it, many states had rules exempting them from minimum wage laws.
Apparently, some steps can help us get through the experience in a healthy way. Controlling and managing our emotions and training ourselves to not get annoyed by the little problems starts by looking at the bigger picture, adjusting our expectations, and being prepared. Dr. Matthews advised to zoom out and see the whole scene, not only focus on the small part that upsets you.
"If you can look outside of yourself, you can see that the person driving slowly in front of you is not doing anything to you," he added. "You are unfairly personalizing their behavior because it’s impacting your own agenda."

So to adjust your expectations, you have to be realistic. For example, the next time you get ready to leave the house, track the time or, at least, add an additional 10 or 15 minutes to your trip, and make things easier for yourself.
"I can’t emphasize being prepared enough. In fact, this can be called practical self-care, and it’s a great way to take care of yourself," Dr. Matthews told us. "We often don’t want to do these things, but it involves things like going to bed early, getting your clothes ready the night before, waking up on time, leaving the house in enough time to get where you’re going, or doing school or work projects before the last minute. A little more work now can mean much less stress later."

My brother-in-law was just talking to us about how it's not what it once was so I'm guessing this local is blaming individual tourists or who they think are tourists.

I live in a town whose economy relies heavily on tourism. While I understand that tourists keep our economy healthy, outsiders with a ton of money visit once, buy property they “live” in part time (and by part time I mean maybe one or two weeks out of the year) and make it impossible for locals to afford real estate in nearly any price range. As a hard working human who would love to purchase a home in the near future, it’s pretty frustrating to feel that people that don’t REALLY live in my town or participate in the community are the ones keeping me from my goals. Furthermore, the people buying up the real estate only spend money in my town for the short amount of time they are here, so they’re not really supporting the local community from a monetary standpoint. Oh, and most of them treat the locals like trash.

I was there in 1991 for my sister's wedding. The day after I walked into a bar and the bartender asked one of the customers to sign me in as a "guest" because it was a private club. It was later explained to me that this was a possible way to keep out black customers. Not sure if this is actually true, but it would make a lot of sense if it were.

I am fairly sure this is in a women's bathroom. Those bins are meant for used sanitary items (tampons and menstrual pads). Ideally, they don't open into the next stall! I haven't been inside a men's bathroom (I'm female) since I was 18 (it was empty and I am now 40, to clarify, and I do not or would not enter a men's public bathroom) and I don't believe there are these bins in the stalls. Safe needle disposal bins, maybe, but those are, from what I have seen anyway, clear white or yellow bins and very clearly labeled. The sanitary items bins are also usually clearly labeled.

That's horrible. This might be TMI, but a few years ago I got what started as a heavy period that one night wouldn't stop. We called 911 and they took me to the hospital. Once there, the triage nurse told the paramedics to take me to the waiting room to be called in. I'll never forget how one stood by the gurney I was on, the other went up to her and quietly said that no, they needed to see me because I was basically hemorrhaging at this point. They did put me in a room and I got treated. Some tests and surgery later, found out I had uterine cancer. I'm fine now, 6 years out from treatment. I am so grateful to those paramedics.

I had what I thought was a severe, very severe, asthma attack. To the point where I couldn't even stand up, or even walk, let alone catch enough breath to even talk. My sister took me to the ER, and had to get a wheelchair to bring me in (they wouldn't come out to the car). When she rolled me in, they asked if I was injured. When she said it's an asthma attack, they complained that the wheelchairs were only for injured or disabled. We then sat there for 5 hours before they took me in. I ended up with hypoxemia, with a blood oxygen saturation of 82. Below 80 causes brain damage. They did the standard emergency room asthma treatment, which takes about an hour, and then sent me home. I ended back in the ER six hours later, where I was diagnosed with pneumonia and hospitalized for a week.

Really sorry this happened to you but please don't give out false health information. I'm a respiratory nurse and oxygen saturation of below 80 does NOT cause brain damage. It's very common for people with respiratory conditions or those who are just unwell to drop their blood oxygen levels.

this is horrifying and proves that we have to have someone accompany us to the hospital or we will never get attended to.

Even though my doc was there, he would not see me. They came and MRI'd and xrayed the break and surgery, nothing for the knee, which was excruciating. I fell getting out of bed a few days later, landing on the knee, and it popped back in whatever was wrong.

Texas here. They take it to a whole other level. Stands open a month before. Every night as soon as it gets dark at least a week before the 4th and New Years. Overwhelms the police. Even though they are illegal in city limits they won't come out unless they are firing rockets on other peoples roofs-seen that. Or having bottle rocket wars- seen that too. Or if they start a fire. I even had embers landing on my face in my flippin backyard when I took the dog out to pee. Infuriating.

I have dogs who are legit terrified of fireworks, and the people in my area set off fireworks almost every night for the entire first week of July, for hours. It's multiple houses all around in a wooded area. My dogs p**s themselves, throw up, cry and howl, run around like mad, scratch at doors, have anxiety diarrhea, every single July for the whole first week. It's made me hate the 4th.

Not American (and also it is illegal to buy fireworks in my state) and we get them set off on a lot of random days. When I lived in an area with a large Indian population I could work out some were for their festivals, but in my new place there is no connection to any celebration I could work out. Probably just kids who managed to get their hands on some, but one time it was every 1-2 days for a week and sometimes before it was even dark, which was baffling. We already have dogs that go off barking most nights and this doesn't help!
Kylie Mountain 3 years ago
I'm in PA. They legalized large fireworks a few years back; there's technically regulations about how large the property has to be and how far away from houses you have to go to set them off, but of course no one pays attention to any of that. Now so many people have complained that the state is considering a rule change to let densely populated municipalities which don't have any places inside their borders where it's actually legal to set off fireworks enact their own bans.

Switching to paper straws will have insignificant impact on our plastic usage. Don't buy into the "every little bit counts" lie. Corporations are going to great lengths to convince us that we are the problem when in fact they are the ones causing all this. It's the same with carbon emissions and every other environmental problem. If Coca Cola reduced their plastic waste by 10% it would dwarf the reductions of individuals for a millenia.
