There's undoubtedly something about broken patterns, messy alignments, and other flawed elements that bothers us. Even if you don't consider yourself a perfectionist, your brain is programmed to prefer things in a nice order, and everything else may fall in the "annoying" category.
Don't believe me? Bored Panda has put together a list of pics to prove just how annoyed you could get in everyday situations. From a glass, standing crooked on its stem, to shipments that got messy because there was no padding, these photos will definitely grind your gears. Scroll down for the images and don't forget to upvote the ones that annoyed you the most!

I Might As Well Just Shit With The Door Open
I swear this is only an American thing. We lean when people are right in the direct line of sight, just to avoid making eye contact through that "tiny" crack in the door.
I agree...these stalls are typical in the US. The doors are alos so low that when you stand up, you can directly make eye contact. Never seen this anywhere in Europe.

I experienced many of these in the US. I thought it might have something to do with people bathing naked in communal showers. Either way, I thought this was bad until I visited China, where toilets only have 3 walls. That was definitely a nightmare came true.
Have you ever had a kid peer through the crack at you mid pee? Its a common thing in my life. I know kids are curious and that's good, but sometimes i wish they weren't
I've been living in the US for 30 years and I can't for the life of me understand this. They are everywhere, but more so in the South. I've seen stalls where the doors only cover shoulders to knees WHEN SITTING, and some with no doors at all (not doors that were removed, doors that were never installed). I once walked in on a little boy pooping because there was no door, no indication whatsoever. I walked round a corner and there he was, poor kid :( Best Ican come up with is it's a deliberate attempt to provide the minimum of privacy - not for using the toilet, but because some evangelical berserkers are convinced people will have sex or take drugs or whatever if they can't be seen, and that that would be a huge problem. Also, Americans are far more tolerant of filthy public toilets than you would imagine. What a place! :-)
Of course it's also much cheaper than doing the job properly...

I get a rush from people seeing, hearing, smelling me poop. Don't you?
It's probably to stop people f*****g, shooting up, sleeping in there, etc.
Apparently America is one of the only countries that has bathroom stalls like this! Every other country at least has the doors go all the way to the floor!
Surely this only means it will spread more easily...? Or is is because you feel so embarrassed that no one will use the loo = less smell XD

I work for a french company in the US. They put rubber seals over all those big gaps. Only place I've ever seen do so.
What really sucks is when you see someone in the mirror and realise they're watching you. I avoid public water closets but at work it's not really an option
I once had to balance on the walls Mission Impossible style just to prevent someone from watching me do my stuff.
Poorly hung door, doesn't even hang straight. Probably has no headrail to keep it aligned either. Sometimes these don't even lock! Recently saw cubicles that were actually complete little rooms, Doors from floor to ceiling. Complete privacy. In Toronto.
AND WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY can't there be more privacy. Only in the high end restaurants and hotels
Strange for a country that is so Puritan. I remember when my little brother (age 1 1/2 years) was naked in his baby pool in our back garden, a neighbor called the police, said that it was indecent exposure. Yes, we did have a visit from the local police, who asked my mother to put a swimsuit on him. So, weird that the bottom of a baby is shocking. To this day I still don't understand. Violence of all kinds is shown in most of USA TV programs and series that we have the unfortunate privilege to have on our TV.
Just spread your legs or do something else to make the rude a*****e staring at you using the can more uncomfortable. Or hang TP over the door to cover the opening. I hang my cane in that spot to block their view. You'd be surprised how many idiots still try to open the stall door.
If this is the worst problem someone comes across then they are lucky people
People in the USA have become extremely paranoid about nudity/privacy. I remember when the YMCA had the swimming time, where no one could wear anything. Yes, no swim suits. In high school it was one big communal shower. Now people go to extremes. Many men go use a private toilet stall to just urinate. Leaving all the urinals for me.
this must be in china ! i've had a really hard time with toilets in china ! XD
Well, yes in China there is also very strange toilets.

you can find it also in Europe ;) in this one place is like that, but its clean at least :D :P
I've never understood why they make doors that don't fill the gap in a toilet! Only in the USA
I am an American and I've never seen a 3 doored stall or one that only covered "shoulders to knees". The crack in the door is annoying, tho
You are very lucky. This has not been my experience visiting family in the States, from New York to San Fransico.

I hate this! Who thinks that this is proper privacy! I was in a restroom in New Mexico and the stall didn't even have a door! Come on people!
Always hated those types of stalls in my school. Now I just go to the bathrooms not many people go to where I can avoid ppl accidentally peeking thru

Oh, this one annoys me so much! When they're leaving the cursor ON the video or the playbar. I don't care if you're a friend of mine showing me a video on your computer, but if you're publicly gonna show a video as part of a presentation or a meeting, please, don't do that! It's so distracting and unprofessional!

Little annoying things can be a major obstacle to happiness. Over the years I have divided these things into several categories. 1. is it dangerous? 2. can it be easily fixed? 3. Is it my problem? If it is neither of the three, its worth noting and enjoying. Otherwise, just chalk it up to the inconsistencies of life. :D
#181 isn't wrong. The Season 1 is a Blu-ray, not a DVD. Blu-ray cases are shorter than DVD cases.
You actually bothered going all the way to #181?!

I'm confused on the elevator pic, it states that they had problems finding floor #26 which I can see no problem. My question is, where is the 7th floor?
I think the same, the floor 26 is right there

A few of these I can see being annoying, but at the same time I understand a few of them, and why they MAY have happened. The Coca Cola, I've had to be the one who caused that. Diabetes. Low blood sugar. Needed something fast. as for the ear buds. Those damned squishy pieces are always falling off and getting lost. Have to either A: Replace it with a different size / color or B: Give in and spend more $$$ on a new pair.
183 is correct. shampoo bottles are upwards while conditioner bottles are downwards, no error.
Come on people! Lesson one for happiness: don't watse your energy by being bothered buy such insignificant stuff! Specially when it should make you smile ;)
The most annoying thing so far is that some of these thing are presented multiple times!

Number12 is the most annoying for a teacher. We wast so much time rad year trying to keep pencils uasble. My solution is to only buy pencils that are made in the USA.
The metal measuring jug is embossed, so you can see the measurements on the inside... whats so annoying about that?

#159 how is that a problem? just turn the guitar over and pour the pick out...
#150 When you get a new book, lay it on it's spine, then alternate between opening up a few pages on the front and back respectively.
#90 the even more annoying thing is that floor number 7 seems to be missing.
