50 Mildly Infuriating Things That Are Making People’s Blood Boil, As Shared On This Twitter Page
Eating loudly, biting your nails in public, standing too close to another person in a line, and bringing pungent food to work are hands down among the most annoying things on planet Earth that should not exist. Yet, they still do, and from time to time, we all either fall victim or offender to them.
Having said that, some things are not so obviously infuriating yet they still feel uncomfortable. It’s even a whole phenomenon called “mild infuriation” that makes our arm hair stand on end and neurons go bananas.
While we can discuss what these particular things are, and they will surely vary from one person to another, there’s one social media account that needs no words. The Twitter page “Mildly Infuriating Images” does exactly what it sounds like and shares the most annoyance-inducing pics that induce this feeling.
Below we wrapped up the funniest, most spot-on and seriously angering examples, so scroll down!

Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind the Mildly Infuriating Images Twitter page who said that they started it after seeing a video that covered the Mildly Infuriating Images subreddit. “The idea behind this page is to get others to see these types of photos and cringe at them with me,” the author added.
When asked how they would explain the term “mildly infuriating,” the author said that it refers to a moment when you’re quietly very angry at something. It can be something so simple, like a photo shared on this page. “I feel like my audience are people with OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) or people who hate specific photos,” the person behind this Twitter account explained.
In Europe in 2024, a unique charger for smartphones, computers and tablets will be mandatory by law.
According to the author, what makes mildly infuriating images so blood-boiling is “something so simple to do being messed up so badly in an uneven way ticks some people a certain way.” “They think ‘how did they even manage to do this?’ And they get frustrated,” the author said.
“If I were to add something, it would be to always try and get out of your comfort zone, whether it’s talking to new people, looking at mildly infuriating images, or just picking up a new hobby, I’d say go out and do it,” the author concluded and added that it's important to remember that “you only live once!”
Day by day, hour by hour we get annoyed by little things. It can be a sock left in the middle of the house by your roommate, a car that won’t start like a stubborn baby, or an unexpected email that sends your brain cells into rage mode. Do you wonder if our reaction to the world around us, the good and the bad of it, is something we can control? And if so, do we always succumb to the same frustrations?
According to Andrea Bonior, a therapist and mental health columnist, the term "frustrating" refers to one of the most common emotional labels we all use. Most often people use it to describe difficult times in life, from everyday annoyances to larger ruts that feel impossible to get out of. Bonior argues that interestingly, frustration is likely to be the top layer of a feeling. “It speaks to a sense of stagnation or helplessness, an inability to make things happen in the way that someone wants.”
I've had of these, my eyes lit up when I got it. Do you have any idea how useful these are? Once you nom all the tic-tacs, they make the best haberdashery boxes! I've got threads all spooled and organised in the small boxes; and the big one has my bias binding collection, ribbons, fusible tape, interfacing buckram, all carded and neat. If you reuse it, none of it is a waste!
Moreover, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the state of frustration in part as "feeling discouragement, anger, and annoyance because of unresolved problems or unfulfilled goals, desires, or needs."
“While this picture of frustration—the angry, sulking person who's annoyed at the futility of their efforts—is a common one, with a little emotional exploration, we can see that an additional array of possible emotions can underlie frustration,” Bonior explained. According to her, the first step in getting through the experience in a healthy way is to figure out exactly what those deeper emotions are.
Among a wide array of deeper and underlying emotions, anger, anxiety or fear can be to blame. “A classic partner to frustration, anger is often what's going on when you feel that something is thwarting you—and your ire is directed at that person or thing,” Bonior argues.
“You want to tear out your non-working dishwasher and set it aflame, or throw your frozen computer out the window? You want to scream at your teenager to get into the car already because you've told him four times to get his shoes on, and yet it still isn't happening.”
I do not have the amount of hands needed for the intensity of face palm needed for any of these.
OMG- HOW DARE YOU MIX THOSE LEGENDS TOGETHER! THEY BELONG APART! OTHERWISE... the demons awake....
In other cases, frustration may feel like a safer option to admit to than saying that we are anxious about or even in fear of something. But Bonior argues that “in these cases, what is really frustrating you is the fact that you want answers to something that's scary: You're looking for reassurance or certainty, and yet it's not coming.”
At the moment of frustration, it may feel hard to control your emotions, but it would very helpful if you try. Taking a moment to pause and breathe can work wonders to ease the unnerving feeling. Focusing on your breath and breathing deeply from your diaphragm can help reduce negative feelings and ease any tension you may have in your body, according to a 2017 study.
Agreed: Also similar thing happens when trying to plug a few devices (computer / printer / charger etc) into a multisocket powerboard 😡
I HATED group stuff. Usually, every group had one guy who never did anything, didn't show up even at meetings he suggested, then stops by half an hour late when we do the final steps (like syncing sheet formatation, font, sizes and the like, correct last minor errors), demands some weird font to be chosen, doesn't contribute any further than just complaining about everything, leaves early and at least, thereby, allows us to change it back to a readable font, after we shared his work among our own to not be graded bad because of him, and as everyone gets the same, dragging that lazy POS through. I hated that guy!
I think one or two would have been sufficient. There's more papertowel dispensers than sinks.
The he added dark black lines to make where they cut it look more clear. Look closely at the sides and ends and you will see it
Load More Replies...Thank you! Not everyone likes the same size piece. :)
Load More Replies...Fact! But the username is mildly infuriating images, which makes sense
Load More Replies...Maybe it was to practice a stupid elementary school math problem: "If Joey takes a sixth of the pizza and gives a quarter of his portion to his grandma, how many slices will be left- for the postman's nephew?"
Maybe there was an option to order it cut like this. I would order it!
They were possibly on LSD. I made someone I know a triangular pizza in our restaurant whilst on it. That's all I've got as to why..
YouKiddingMe hit the nail. Hate deciding whih pep is going to be sacrificed.
I have to admit that I cut pizza (and cake or anything round) like this. I have no idea how other people manage to cut pretty slices because I just can't do it 😅 First slice might be fine but then the second is always wonky and then I try to correct that but the third is even worse and so on.
This comment will likely get buried but I found out recently there is a pizza place called Stoners. And if you order the "stoner" style they cut it all wonky like this. 🙂
Those are just edited black lines, they seriously don't even go to the edge of the crust
If you look closely, you can see the OP added those dark black lines to show where the actual cuts were made. That's just an @sshole move. I love it lol
Lets see . . Dad, and the Big Brother, then Mom and the two kids, and one for the toddler. Everyone fed, nobody pigs out.
I like to irritate people in my family with this type of cut sometimes.
He outlined the cuts with lines to help you see them better
Load More Replies...I have to make this into a template. There are people in my household who need to be annoyed more.
After growing up in the northeast US, where pizzas are cut like pies, I found myself working in a pizza joint in Minnesota 20 years ago, where a round pizza is cut in squares. That bugged me more than this.
I believe the vectors are there to show the cuts better. If you look closely you can see where the pepperoni is cut.
This is actually kinda smart. That way everybody can get the slice they want
Maybe the pizza will be eaten by people of various ages (grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, children and grandchildren).
They are, so you can more clearly see where the lines are
Load More Replies...Little Caesars does this at a location near me. How hard do you have to work to cut a pizza correctly. Worst part is there was no rush or customers on a wait time.

Perhaps that Twitter group should be renamed Rigid Humorless Conformists.
If stuff like this was all I had to worry about my life would just about perfect.
