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.

The Fact You Have To Pay At A Hospital Of All Places

The Fact You Have To Pay At A Hospital Of All Places

hollyholowath Report

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.

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.

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.

Dumpster diving has become more difficult now that they enclose and lock their dumpsters - now if you try to gain access it’s considered breaking and entering as well as theft of movable property. And seeking out open dumpsters can be an all day event, as well as looking for cameras.

I can imagine why most of this would be thrown out - food safety regs in terms of all the food, lots of food in that dumpster look like they need refrigeration or freezing so are definitely above safe temperature, it looks like all the face products are testers so they are quite likely out of date, the electronics likely returns so either unable to be resold or are faulty, the instant pot is probably a return and those cannot be resold byy some shops due to food regs. Unfortunate indeed, but this is all due to legal requirements, I'm quite sure that the shop would have much preferred selling them than throwing them.

As someone who recently worked at a major chain store in the US I can tell you it’s way worse than what anyone can imagine. There were weeks where our waste totaled upwards of $10,000 bucks and the store was in a small town. It’s insane the rules we have to follow by not being allowed to donate unused, unopened food, clothing, toiletries, etc. We literally aren’t allowed.

I worked at Target. I can tell you any food that is usable is given to charity. What you don't see is a freezer that might have gone down, and there is no way to salvage the food. Many healthcare products can expire. Those lights are probably defective. Those lotion testers might be thrown out as they no longer carry the product-more than likely almost empty. Instapot? Probably used and returned-would you want to purchase it? I know the food waste is annoying, but believe me when I say I personally hauled out crates of food to the food bank, and I am sure this was a freezer failure. No retailer would sell or refreeze this, and certainly would not donate it for fear of making people sick.

my local grocery store has greatly reduced the amount of edible product being thrown away weekly. They take the things off the shelves when they get close to dated (most things are good for a while after best before date people just won't buy them) and put them on a FREE shelf in the main entry way. Anybody can pick up these products on their way out of the store. Sometimes there are cans of meat/beans, boxes of Mac and cheese, jars of jam, packaged quick meals i.e. rice, noodles, snack foods like cookies. I have help myself to a few items, the lady who was stocking the shelf just after Valentine's Day put 3 boxes of chocolates in my cart, I shared with people at the bus stop.

Also,in grocery stores, when people leave frozen or refrigerated food they decided they didn't want and there is no one who csnIMMEDIATELY return it to the proper area, then it has to be wasted because they have no idea how long it was in your grocery cart, or it was placed so that the returns person didn't see it, so it sat there too long, it has to be wasted

Our local market finally partnered with the local middle school here in CA...they donate all the food that would normally go in the bins and do a weekly free food bank. It's all stuff that will expire within a few days, and it's really great quality. I've gotten fancy cheeses, fruit, veggies, bagged salad, cooked deli items prepared meals.. It made me happy that it wasn't going to waste.

I love that people are trying to reduce waste, but it also makes me wonder when I see certain products in these pics. I've seen Amazon reviews where customers purchase products, then get suspicious because the item was expired, or the packaging looked squashed/sus. If you're getting things out of the garbage for yourself, that's one thing. You know where it came from, & you've accepted the risks. But please do not resell this stuff to others, or if you do, please do it with full disclosure. I know a lot of this stuff could still be considered "usable," but you're literally taking home things that were sitting in (possibly hot) garbage. Also, there are no separate dumpsters for used mop heads, used diapers, rancid hot dogs, and all the other not so pleasant things that happen at Target. Just a thought.

However, things that make our neck hair stand on end and send out brain cells into anger mode can also vary from one person to another, Dr. Veilleux mentioned. "Things that annoy me (e.g., people not using turn signals, classes or meetings running late with no apology) don't annoy other people."

"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.

ADVERTISEMENT

"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.

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."

"Start working on changing your perspective (seeing the bigger picture), changing your expectations, and improving your self-care. A general theme is recognizing what you can and can’t control and taking action to control the things you can. Seeing a therapist might be a good idea, particularly if you find that these negative emotions are common," Dr. Matthews concluded.

As previously explained, this is because some people think microwaved potates taste better when wrapped with plastic, so this is catering to people who are running to work and want to grab something healthy for lunch. These are also sometimes parcooked. This is still just an explanation and not condoning anything.

Asheville is a wonderful city! Full of art and nature and quirky little bars and it is a progressive bastion in an otherwise conservative state. However it is completely dependent on tourism with 'leisure and hospitality' accounting for approx.. 15% of the jobs (not including secondary businesses like retail that get a boost from tourism). This is just some bitter, childish individual that doesn't understand their local economy.

Call the non-emergency police line and tell them the problem. It's illegal to block a sidewalk. It may take a bit. Don't give your name or your door number! Just tell them what door it's in front of even if it's your door you don't have to claim the apartment as your own. Just that you have to walk pass this truck daily to get home! I hope this helps.

Actually, that makes sense. If the bottle were filled, the surface tension would make the product stick to the glass, and it wouldn't completely empty, leaving half of it stuck to the bottle with no way to get it out. But putting it in the vacuum bag, it completely collapses when pumped out, as you can see to the left.

We don't want to tell you you the numbers are too low to measure. Our pet grasshopper scored higher. We have mops with a more impressive intellect. There are more brains under a zombie's fingernails.
