Most people would likely agree that the feeling of great annoyance—often over relatively minor things—is quite universal; people don’t need to speak the same language or be from the same area to know just how aggravating a sock sliding halfway off in a shoe can be.

Similar annoying occurrences are often depicted on the ‘Mildly Infuriating’ subreddit, which currently boasts over 7.4 million members from all over the place. For many of them, the sub is a source of comfort that they’re not alone in being annoyed by the daily inconveniences in life, and if you’re curious to see what said inconveniences entail, scroll down to find some examples on the list below; but do it at your own risk, as they might leave you mildly infuriated, too.

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interviews with Emeritus Professor of Psychology Joseph Hellige and Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at The University of Delaware, Philip Gable, who were kind enough to answer a few of our questions about why we find certain things mildly infuriating.

Again, a possible step missed: Remember to tuck the end under after each use. Yes, it wastes a bit of tape, but saves a bit of time trying to even up split ends. My time is much more important than 3-4" of contrary tape.

This is why you fold the end over into an easy-pull-tab every time you use it. It's a pain to have to cut that little bit off the next time, but far less infuriating.

We had automatic tapers for corrugated cartons at a factory I worked at and we used giant (like 12") rolls of this stuff. From time to time we had this happen on those and it was truly maddening.

    I'm a retired freelance Chef and have done this deliberately several times over the years when leaving places that have either tried to cheat me out of fees or have treated me badly whilst working for them; I used to get my nice sharp paring knife, roll out two or three rolls (?) of aluminium foil, then put 6 or 7 deep cuts right the way across the whole piece, rewrap the unblemished foil back on to the damaged stuff, repeat with as many rolls of foil / plastic wrap as you can find ; my record was 10. I heard from one or two people in one place that I stayed in contact with, that the manager had a bloody fit when he found out and did suspect it was me but had no proof, plus I was well away by then, oh, and he was a d******d. Happy days.

    That looks like #UserError - did you execute Step 1? It's very important in avoiding this: Step 1 - Engage the small punch-in at each end of the box - to keep the roll from moving during each pull. Step 2 - Pull from the middle of the roll, keeping the foil straight until the desired length is visible. Step 3 - Pull selected piece of foil straight down on the cutting teeth in one smooth motion. Step 4 - Enjoy that feeling of #Success!

    Sometimes it doesn’t take much for us to become annoyed, or say, mildly infuriated; something as simple as uneven or unmatching items or gaps in places they shouldn’t be can make us noticeably irritated. The answer to why that happens seemingly lies in the way our brain is wired.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “In said examples, networks in the anterior cingulate cortex and connected regions activate when our expectations are violated, when we see or experience something different from what we expect,” Emeritus Professor of Psychology Joseph Hellige explained. “As simple as a gap when we didn’t expect one and as complicated as an insult when we expected praise. Registering a deviation from expectation is largely automatic.”

    In a previous post where I asked where to find women's jeans with real pockets, I was told a few brands that offer them. I went to look and either they are very particular cargo-type cuts or some rare high-waisted jeans (another subject) which do not suit all body types (same with men's pants) because they were designed for tall women. So, no, women's pants with real pockets are really not easy to find.

    The theory is that manufacturers of women’s clothing have been sort of in cahoots with the handbag/purse people, and keep the tiny clothes pocket thing going to sell more purses. Might be some truth to that, at least it would explain the massive resistance against making women’s pockets bigger.

    Dr. Philip Gable seconded the idea that said mildly infuriating things get on our nerves because we detect that something is not right or not what we expected. “It’s like when you make an error, but instead of you making the mistake, you detect the mistake in the world around you,” he explained. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Potentially, the person could perceive that there is a disconnect between what we think is involved, and how we expect things to be. The anterior cingulate cortex is involved in error detection and could be sending the ‘something is wrong’ signal. After that, it is likely how we think about the situation that causes us to hold on to it as negative or bad.”

    BTW - SOMETIMES, not always but sometimes, these kinds of tags in underwear or bras are sewn in on a separate seam than the actual clothing seam, which allows you to use a seam ripper or scissors on the seam threads holding the tags in, in order to easily remove them without damaging the garment or its "retaining wall" seams.

    Prof. Hellige continued to explain that whether we find certain things or occurrences annoying or pleasurable depends on numerous different brain networks. “For example, the insular cortex is activated when we experience something physically unpleasant, like biting into rancid meat, or psychologically unpleasant, like overhearing someone criticize us.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to the expert, the seemingly minor annoyances vary from person to person based on context and life experience. “One person’s annoyance can even be another’s pleasure. The dissonance in Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring might grate on my nerves but be beautiful to a more trained mind.”

    Now you can make a shadow puppet of an alligator. There's always an upside in the mix if you look hard enough.

    So they can walk home in the rain with those shoes, followed by an actual alligator who liked the shadow they saw.

    Dr. Hellige explained that the level of how strongly a person feels about certain annoyances relates to relative levels of activation among brain areas, including those in the limbic system and prefrontal cortex. 

    “The level of irritation also tends to increase when a person already feels stressed or is overly tired. Parents know this well; the never-ending questions from our three-year-old are a pleasure when we’re well-rested and unhurried, but after two nights of little sleep with a work project overdue, the same behavior becomes irritating.”

    They must have been ripe when they hung them there, so no surprise. This reminds me also of the warning not to place them with apples, as it causes the bananas to ripen faster. I found out the hard way. :-(

    It's to keep the bananas away from the other fruit so it doesn't ripen too quickly but this one has a fruit bowl at the bottom so the ethenes would reach the other fruit easily rendered the entire point of the banana hanger moot.

    According to Dr. Gable, another factor that is likely to influence the extent to which a person finds something to be (mildly) infuriating is how much a certain situation violates their expectation that something is wrong. “It could be how significant the person sees the problem that enhances the irritation; oftentimes, not having control over the situation can cause it to be more irritating,” he pointed out.

    Since no one is immune to annoyances and infuriating things, arguably the only thing we can do is try to manage our emotions. “Perspective talking about the situation would help; for example, ‘it's not that big of a deal’, or ‘it's really not something I should worry about’,” Dr. Gable suggested.

    “Try to look at it more objectively: ‘in the long run, correcting that problem wouldn't really matter and might make things worse’. The annoyance may come from the person making a subjective judgment - if they can reduce their judgements, it will likely affect them less.”

    If this is a genuine machine malfunction, then that is really s****y. However, they can trap stolen cards in this way, and the error message is likely designed to not alert the thief that the bank knows the card is stolen. It is possible somebody made a mistake and it trapped a genuine card.

    I’d 100% believe that. Printer companies are especially guilty of this and planned obsolescence. It’s kinda the only way they can stay afloat, cuz once you have a printer, you don’t need to buy a new printer, unless they make you. I’ve heard of a company that was exposed for purposefully making old printers shut down after updates to force people to buy new ones. I’ve also heard of printer companies adding a few extra unneeded colors in when printing stuff like black and white so you run out of ink faster, and making it so the printer only works when run with brand ink.

    The screens are part of an inventory system and haven't been properly configured. YOU shouldn't have to do anything, its up to the store management to do it.

    Friend of mine bought a fridge that has a large screen running apps on the door and a camera inside. he was very proud of all this and he showed me that if you go to the home screen, press an icon, choose a setting and press ok, the screen would show you what's inside the fridge. i fail to see how that's more efficient than opening the bleeding door... over-technologification kills me

    I agree these are an absolutely stupid waste of energy and money, but these particular doors haven't been set up by the store, those instructions are for whatever store employee is supposed to finish their job. Once that is complete, then a stupid picture of the potential contents of each unit would be visible. Not the real contents, because who wants to see anything that helpful?

    This is misleading, and an error. The installation has not been completed, there's a Set-Up still to do which will presumably change the display on each door to reflect the actual contents.

    Dr. Hellige added that first and foremost, it’s important to try and be well-rested and maintain low levels of stress. “Easy to say, hard to do,” he admitted.

    “Try to keep things in perspective,” the professor of psychology continued. “Very few things are actually matters of life and death, but we have inherited some brain regions that aren’t so good at telling the difference. Fortunately, other regions, like our prefrontal cortex, work to slow us down, be reflective, and moderate the effects of some of those other regions. Take a deep breath, and let your prefrontal cortex do its work.”

    No, they are option 1, option 2, option 3 and option 4. The correct answer is option 1. Just because option 4 has the same label doesn't make it right. Obviously it's down the the idiot that set the question and filled in two possible answers with the same value.

    Robert, this is so indicative of an Agency exam. They told us to never accept the right answer without confirmation. Sometimes confirmations are as ambiguous as two numbers matching. Then you have to wonder which of the numbers... Matches. What do you do? Choose the closest or the farthest.

    Serious question here: is the K here like the one in knight? Afaik the K in knight used to be pronounced. But in time the k-sound vanished. (I think the knight-fact is really awesome because in the parts in Jutland, Denmark, that are closest to England, they say "knejt" as a word for boy. And it would make sense for the knife as well, as in Danish a knife is called "kniv").

    The reason it’s important to try and manage our reaction to infuriating things—no matter how big or small—is because they often entail stress, which can accumulate and result in detrimental effects to our well-being.

    “Every day is full of small annoyances. If we can't control our negative reactions to those small annoyances, then it will completely lower our well-being. Letting go of the things we cannot change would be helpful at maintaining one's well-being,” Dr. Gable suggested.

    This is the worst! I remember one time - after a 12 hour shift that turned into a 14-hour shift - I finally got out of work, only to find myself a quarter mile away from the hospital and the train guards dropping down. So there I sat - helplessly wedged between other cars and unable to find another way around it - as it slowed to a stop about a half hour in and then preceeded to start backing up!!! I was nearing the point of losing my mind when it finally cleared the tracks an hour later!

Yeah you can't stab a paper straw through the lid, and you can't peel the lid off. I ended up having to stab it with my car keys to puncture it and get a new straw cos the first one was smashed.

    “Beyond an optimal level of alertness, adding stress takes a toll on our judgment as well as things like blood pressure and heart health more generally,” Dr. Hellige pointed out. “There is no way to avoid all annoyances; nor would we survive long if we weren’t responsive to genuine threats. But, there are well-documented negative consequences of chronic stress. And, whether we realize it or not, constant annoyances over insignificant things add up.”

    Fridges / freezers ship in the box with the handles off. Someone (presumably at the appliance store) assembled it without first pulling the plastic out of the way. Like Mark said - if it bugs you just unscrew the handle and remove the plastic.

    My interpretation of this sign would be that trucks attempting to take Ohio 37 west should veer left (probably avoiding a difficult intersection), vehicles wanting US 36 or US 23 & US 42 South should also veer left, while vehicles wanting Ohio 37 or US 23 & US 42 North should veer right. Checking the satellite view of this interchange, it is bizarre mostly because it happens in an old downtown right next to a river.

    I've learned the hard way to use google maps for any highway trips and never ignore any suggestions for detour. It once suggested I take an detour exit... from the look of the long line of traffic on the off ramp, I assumed it ultimately wouldn't be any faster to go off route... wow, was I wrong! The second I was too far past the exit to change my mind, the arrival time updated to add an additional 90 minutes! At least I wasn't headed to an appointment, but I still definitely wanted to kick myself for that next hour and a half!

    Looks caused by accident. Tbf it may have been cleared by the time you got there and there might not have been a delay. Or traffic could’ve moved faster than anticipated and allowed you to make up some time. I probably would’ve risked it honestly

    Or could’ve seen if there was an alternative way there. Even if it added a little time to the original drive, if it allowed you to be there before 15 mins after appt time they likely would’ve seen you. Sure there’s probably some back and side streets to get around that

    When You Take A Pregnancy Test And Get No Result

    When You Take A Pregnancy Test And Get No Result

    My husband and I are dying to find out. So, I took a test, and I did not get "pregnant" or "not pregnant". I literally got NO results. A defective test - it's really frustrating. Trying a different brand test tomorrow morning.

    Put the aglets together at the top or bottom. Use the looped end as one side and the Alger side as the other end. Then you have much shorter laces. You have to tie the looped part but who cares? At least they're not SOO long!

I had to buy one medium, one large and one small to get all of the to be "medium". So both the small and the large were sized wrong. Quality control is non-existent on cheap products.

    Different countries have different sizes. Always need to be aware of this. I buy my clothes from China because they have clothes for actual slender people there. I remember when I could wear a size 2 skirt; these days, a size 0 falls to my ankles. ALWAYS check things against each other; don’t just reach for your usual size.

    Ohhhhh my fiancé almost did this to one of my kids’ cards. He said “it looks like a sticker, maybe it peels” I said “ABSOLUTELY DO NOT”. Guess what. It was a scratch off lol I learned from a similar thread not to peel the silver scratch off looking stickers thankfully.

    This one IS a peel though. You have to try and peel it off, like it says.

    The only way to fix this is by taking all of the polyester fiber down and restringing a new set of lights that aren’t faulty.

    So once upon a time, my friend was moving and wanted to celebrate. Alas, no wine opener! We instructed her on how to use a screw and pliers to open it. Guess she punched through the cork because about ten minutes later we get these messages: "I think I did something wrong. I say that mostly because there is wine on my ceiling. And dog." We were HOWLING it was hilarious.

    Google "drunken Frenchman opens wine bottle without corkscrew" - the trick is to slam the (padded) bottle against a wall; it depends on the difference between the volume of the space at the bottom of the wine bottle and the how narrow the neck is - since liquids are not compressible, the cork is forced out

    Same at first. But now I'm fully not a fan. They're too flat which means all your rolly foods will rolly right off and, they're too textured for simple cleaning. I'm also not one for the uneven lines of a rustic style that also tries too hard to be elegant.

    My Shark Shuts Off Every Time I Put It In This Room. Only In This Room

    This room only has one door stop and it hits it every single time it's placed to clean in there while other rooms have several of the same stoppers and it has yet to happen anywhere else.

    The Shark just kinda bounces around randomly so... What the heck?

    Why does it even have this poorly placed switch when hitting any of the buttons on top will make it stop immediately?

    I worked in a bakery-cafe for many years, and we left the bags open on the ends to prevent condensation buildup, which would cause that deliciously crisp crust to go soft and chewy. We didn't usually hang the ends out like that, but it's possible that the bakery in question just doesn't have a custom bag for every loaf size.

    There’s No Hole To Relieve The Suction/Pressure In My Water Bottle, So I've To Stop Drinking Every Two Seconds. And Every Time I Stop Drinking It Makes Noise

    Unscrew the lid and push the straw piece all the way up. It'll stop

    I don't think so... It's creating a vacuum because there is no way for air to get in while drinking out of it.

    This is why I don't use water bottles with a straw in them. Easier and cleaner without.

    Couldn't you drill a hole where that round spot is? Would be covered when bottle is closed, wouldn't?

    that hole is the thing that "should" stop the thing from creating a vacuum. prolly clogged or blocked.

    You picked the oldest oranges. All have brown spots, which means they have dried out a bunch already.

    I grow Valencia oranges ( orange juice oranges) and those oranges are the bottom of the barrel my friend. Nasty looking things. But good for you for wanting fresh orange juice.

    Maybe it's just me but the colour of that juice seems a little off.

    Oranges for eating and oranges for juice are sold in Spain. The latter are pure juice

    I may be wrong, but I thought "juice orange" is just about the size, not actually a different kind of oranges.

    they have less "walls" inside and you get more juice with less mush being kept in the empty halfs

    Old oranges but also keep your oranges on the counter not in the fridge. They make more juice.

    Oldest oranges that are beyond ripe. No. The colour looks wrong too
