This might be not the first time you’re clicking on a link to check out pictures of annoying things. In fact, there’s a chance you’ve done it on multiple occasions, maybe even a few dozen times. That’s because, in a very contradictory way, mildly infuriating pictures are very appealing.
The popularity of the “mildly infuriating” genre is further proven by the number of sources you can find that share collections of frustrating images. This time, we found all of these on two Facebook groups, one with over 2,000 and the other with over 12,000 members. This means that there are people out there that want to see frustrating images on their feeds every day. Odd, isn’t it?
Scroll down to see if the following images appeal to your taste and read on to understand why you keep coming back for more.

If that doesn't work, then engage the cabin crew and explain the situation to them (as a worst case to them explain you aren't getting the full service you paid for as you cannot access the screen; if they cannot do anything, ask for this in writing). As a last resort, then confront
Speaking as a long-haired person, anyone who does this knows exactly what they are doing, and don't care about the opinion of the person behind them (or anyone else).

Load More Replies...In one class is high school, the girl who sat in front of me would run her hands through her hair so that it was basically draped all over my desk. Asked her politely to not do that, was ignored. The third time, I very quietly piled all the textbooks in my bag on top of her hair, then leaned on them for good measure. She nearly scalped herself when she tried to sit up. She never did that again.
So why is it that when you see misaligned tiles in a public bathroom, you can’t help but snap a picture to share it with your friends and family? Well, there might be a few things at play here, but emotional catharsis through social validation is probably the best guess.
Emotional catharsis is a release of tension that builds up when experiencing a certain emotion. For example, when you’re sad, the emotion might fill you up to the point when you overflow and might start crying. After that, you feel lighter and calmer because you released that feeling from your body—you experienced a catharsis.
Similarly, when you fail to neatly open the foil part off of a Nutella jar, you can get understandably annoyed. You can, of course, let that annoyance build until you overflow and start shouting at a random stranger. Or, you can let it go right away by tweeting about it to the world and letting others validate your frustration. Because sometimes, all you need to soothe your soul is a random person on the internet saying that they feel your pain.
A thumbnail does the trick too, as long as there isn't some plasticised layer.

Load More Replies...* shakes head * There's no way to tell this story without sounding like I'm on a high horse, but when I see pics like this the first thing I remember is when I (alone as an adult) spilled my drink at a fast food restaurant, got some napkins, and cleaned it up myself. I didn't think much of it until a sweet lady (customer) came over with her grandson and thanked me, saying a lot of people would have left that mess for an employee. I shrugged and said the spill had been my fault. She replied, "A lot of people don't think that way." She pointed out my good example to the kid, and we had a nice chat. TL;DNR Be kind to the underpaid workers in the service industry.
When I see this,I automatically think that the people who did this must live in a right shithole
On the other side of the screen, when we are looking at mildly infuriating images, we are exercising our empathy muscle. Most of us are familiar with the pain of seeing all the toppings fall off the pizza slice as you’re picking it up, and we feel bad for people going through it. We relate to it, and that’s why we click that like button and comment with our support.
We also know friends who can relate to the same pain so these pictures are also highly sharable. We seek to connect and commiserate so we tag people and retweet posts that floats the frustration bubble up to the top. A study published in 2016 showed that social media usage can increase a person’s feelings of empathy, and these images are a great example of that.
This happened to me yesterday, I just gave up and stabbed it with a fork
Load More Replies...But at least you're not going to die from someone poisoning it, so there's that.
This is so normal for me. This is more the norm than the exception. Foil seals in margarine jars and yogurt jars, either the corner just comes off and at best takes a small strip with it. The plastic pull seal in the bottles just breaks, so you have to dig it out with a knife. Even cardboard boxes fck with me. the wine bottle cork only breaks and half remains in the neck of the bottle. I don't know who I pissed off and made him put a curse on me.
Just stab it and move on. Don't let something like this get to you.
Everything is deteriorating. I've worked with hot glue seal tech and this is the result of incorrect sealing temperatures. Nobody is paid enough to give a rats a**e in production these days to QC and QA the process and if you are the company requiring the mass production sealing from a processing plant, I don't care what the snazzy high as a kite on privileged bonuses execs have told you, once you sign on that dotted line for 3 to 10 year contract you can kiss your products shelf reputation goodbye.
Maybe they don’t, I think it goes 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,8,10,6
Load More Replies...This is almost completely irrelevant but it made me think of it... There's a vending machine at work where the M&M's are E-10 and twice I have typed in E-1, planning to type the 0 after the 1 and not realizing there is an actual 10 button. So twice I was craving M&M's and twice have gotten b******t peanut chews. I mean I ate them and they were still okay but it was still annoying.
On top of relatability, mildly infuriating pictures are also very universal. The annoying experiences transcend the need for words and they occur no matter where you find yourself on the globe. This gives them even more potential for being shared and appreciated everywhere. After all, people from different backgrounds can be familiar with the frustration of someone parking just a tad bit too close.
To be fair, if those motorbikes were there first it looks as if it would be a bit tricky to open the driver's door.
Are they too far over? Yes. Are those motorcycles too close to the edge? Also yes.
The problem is the motorbike on the left, nobody wants to risk that toppling and having issues opening doors because it is squeezed to the right of its bay.
Chain reaction, I think the driver was nervous parking too close to the bikes as it might be knocked over
Then they should have just parked in the other empty space
Load More Replies...Parking garages are notoriously misdeisigned to have just enough room to park, but not enough space to enter or exit your vehicle.
Gonna blow your minds here but, hear me out, it's not impossible that the owner of this car paid for two spaces? I'm always for calling out a dīckbag when I see blatant examples but it's not an impossibly that Mr Audi can also afford two parking spaces.
This one’s down to the motorbike rider. Only way the car driver is at fault is if they also own the bike and they’re trying to double-dip on their apartment parking, not caring that they’re inconveniencing their neighbour in the process. And why not just park the bike at the front of the bay, then the car in behind it, with its back end hanging out a little. Then it would just look like they can’t park properly, or their car is the same size as some of the suburb-sized monster trucks that will be parked elsewhere in the building.
My guess? The bikes are assigned to 62. The Audi is assigned 61. And either the bikes belong to the Audi owner or the bikers do not GAF.
That's why I always use bowls which are shorter in diameter than the fork :D

I’d have insisted the tile layer came back and fixed that mess. No way I’m paying to have tiles put down and be offset by *that* much.
Ahhh pride in ur workmanship. Reminds me of some things I've uncovered in my home over the years
My entire house is like that. The previous owner was a professional decorator, so he knew how to make the place *look* good. I am genuinely surprised the place is still standing, to be honest. I have, however, uncovered evidence that witchcraft may be involved.
Load More Replies...On the other hand, according to Joe Palka, a journalist who co-wrote “Annoying: The Science of What Bugs Us” with Flora Lichtman, annoyances can be very individualistic. For example, if public transportation always comes on time wherever you live, you might get annoyed if it’s running late. However, if it’s never on time, you are probably not too bothered if it turns up later than expected. This might be part of the reason why there’s so little research on things that rub us the wrong way.
It's funny they husked it just to wrap it back up again. Possibly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen
I think it's pre-boiled or steamed, at least that's how it is where I live. Fresh corn is sold in a husk, pre-boiled in a plastic package
Load More Replies...I recently read that a study showed that wrapping many fruit and veg in plastic greatly extends their freshness and saves a huge amount of food waste. In many cases, this made it more ecologically advantageous to use plastic than to throw away vast amounts of food. Of course, ideally the plastic should be of a recycleable type.
Because they need to be packaged for safety! It's not like corn comes with it's own outer protection that.....oh wait yes it does.

People who do this and leave meat in unrefrigerated sections need to be charged for it. Just wasting food and depending on how long it was there, you're making a mess and making it smell
I found a pack of meat in the magazine area of the checkout on Saturday. Gave it to the cashier. People are lazy.
Load More Replies...This is not the same as putting a perishable somewhere it can spoil or discarding trash. It's more than 1/2 full and doesn't even seem to be from the same store. It's more like they set it down and forgot it than any malice or discourtesy.
That’s what I was thinking. It’s practically full and that’s obviously not store merchandise. I have done that before in a target- I spent 10 minutes hunting it down but it’s pretty easy to get excited about something you see on the shelf and set your drink down then get distracted by something else. The people who leave fridge and freezer products out can go rot, though.
Load More Replies...Two separate issues - people leaving their trash wherever they happen to be; and people leaving refrigerated store goods in i refrigerated areas of the shop. Both are marks of lazy, disrespectful people who would likely have a complete fit if you left as much as a coffee ring on the kitchen counter. But as soon as they’re in a shop, they turn feral - as a way of demonstrating their superiority over the (they see them as) wretched staff who are so far below them they don’t deserve the respect these people demand of others. Both groups - the trash-leavers and the goods dumpers - are disgusting pigs who should be captured on store video & have their images blown up poster size on the store’s front window notifying them of their banning from the establishment.
Probably a pell mell smokin' 400 pound hogzilla.... you know the type--- smells like garlic.....
I dare you to drink that cuz you will fully need all those items on your a$$. Puffs, Kleenex, wet wipes, antibiotics, a bidet, etc.
Palka and Lichtman did identify three essential qualities for an annoyance. First is that it has to be noxious without being harmful. Second, and that’s a big one, is that it needs to be unpredictable and intermittent. Lastly, to ramp up the frustration, it has to persist just long enough to be somewhat bearable but also not quite. Altogether, this makes an annoying situation to remember.
I'd buy this anyway and then ask the kids to find all four when it's time to wash the dishes, but not tell them there's no mo.
You don't consider it mildly infuriating when a packaging line has no quality control?

Load More Replies...If that’s just one day’s worth of oversqueeze, a family meeting is in order. And if it’s longer than that, then where is the photographer brushing *their* teeth? Either way, though, it’s an internal family problem - wipe the goo off, use it to clean the sink - it works wonders with its mild abrasive action (teehee) - and have a family meeting. That’ll probably work better to solve the issue than posting about it on the internet.
If it's $8 for a $100 delivery too aka $8 no matter the package qty and size then thats fair enough. Wasteful to order something under $10 for home delivery imo.

You don't always have the option to refuse this. My kid brother's school uniform is an excellent example. There is 1 online retailer that sells his uniform, you either buy it there you buy secondhand from other parents. If your kid somehow deviates from average in size you have no choice but to pay the stupid fees.
Load More Replies...If you know how much it will cost you to deliver it, don't b***h about how much it's going to cost.
Very glad I live in a country where the published price has to include taxes.
If you look at the picture again, you will see all of the tax has been included. It actually gives a pretty detailed list of the subtotal, fees, tax, and total. And this isn't published, it's an order, a receipt, digital, not a grocery store.
Load More Replies...Sometimes the annoyance we feel is not at all related to the images we’re seeing, it’s something we’ve been carrying with us that needs unleashing. Our lives might not always offer a chance to release frustrations related to our family or work routines. A list full of other people’s annoyances allows us to let go of our grievances while, at the same time, giving us a distraction from our problems.
Logic tells me that it was designed this was because they didn't want you to use the mouse whilst it was charging. My brain tells me that Apple are idiots.

This drives me insane. As a wheelchair user it's not always easy to me to just "go around them" if there are curbs. I can't just squeeze past. And if I have to go on the road it's dangerous because being seated it's often hard for drivers so see me; drivers are used to looking for people at a standing height but can miss looking lower down. The owners of these vehicles should have been more aware to the needs of others when parking.
I know exactly how you feel. I deal with the same thing, I hate ot more when people block sidewalks and I have to wheel myself on the road.
Load More Replies...This an folk who park in front of the dropped kerb that's supposed to facilitate easy access for wheelchair users
Shhh. This is the closest these good ol' boys get to intimacy. (Satire.)
All they need are some wheel chocks X-distance from the curb. They work both ways - cars backing in like this won’t be able to get their towbars over the footpath (sidewalk) without running over the chock- and smaller cars driving in forward won’t get their front bumper bar (fender) pulled off when they get it stuck on the pavement edge after they place their substantial bottoms AND shopping in the front of the car before backing out - saves the front of the car, and the pavement doesn’t get pulled away as often either. Win-win for drivers and local authorities. Call any local council in Victoria, Australia for details on how a concrete wheel chock can save your footpaths (sidewalks) today!
Maybe the question asked for the answer to be an improper fraction?
A clear case of lazy programming, incomplete data validation.
Load More Replies...That answer IS incorrect. The system will interpret this as 1*1/4, not 1+1/4
I'm considering that the nature of algebra makes that a possibility, but it seems very unlikely. -y-5x very definitely means -y-(5*x), but -y-57 very definitely doesn't mean -y-(5*7). That said, I'd agree that the answer of 1 1/4 is incorrect because it's not definitely correct.
Load More Replies...Yes, this is frustrating - for the teacher too. The interface for some Learning Management Systems quizzes sucks! We have to program in the 'correct answer', so we'd have to try and predict every possible format the student could enter. So if the answer is 5000. I'd have to program in 5,000 and 5000 and possibly 5000.0 and if there was a unit involved I would have to program that in as well, including all the possibility with spaces or no spaces. So GIVE US A BREAK and I will grade this Sh*t for partial credit after I get done teaching my 3 hour lecture, answering my email, running to the bathroom, talking to the student who ran into me in the bathroom who complained about not getting partial credit on their quiz...the alternative is to write lots of multiple choice questions, which are not a good measure of student understanding.
Ah yes.. Fractions. Just another reason why we in the USA need to adopt the metric system!!! Who came up with this garbage and why. Ugh.
Another thing that makes these mildly infuriating posts so appealing and popular is the humor in it. A lot of the mildly frustrating images are quite ridiculous and funny in their own way. No one is experiencing real harm that’s detrimental to their well-being, they’re just a little unlucky. This allows one to smile at the little misfortunes without feeling guilty. Sure, your cat sitting on your pizza is a bummer, but it’s also quite hilarious at the same time.

Load More Replies...This is actually a GOOD thing--is annoying to those who are bothered by out-of-alignment stuff BUT if I were a student with one of these lockers, it would make it easier to home in on mine without counting from the ends.
All in all, mildly infuriating pictures is quite a contradiction. They’re things that make you frustrated while also making you smile. They’re something you never want to experience in your life that you also can’t get enough of. In other words, see you here next time. There’s definitely going to be a next time.
I'm more concerned that they appear to have a beanbag or something in the toilet than the lazy toilet roll holder.
Load More Replies...The tape was their first thought for mounting the roll.
Load More Replies...It could be that the roll holder is broken. If the spring died and it won't stay taut when you put it between the wooden holders, then the TP's gonna end up on the floor unless you do it like it's in the picture.
Still could have picked up the thing and the empty rolls
Load More Replies...I'll hold my hand up to being lazy. I sometimes don't take the tubes and put them in the recycling immediately (though I don't discard them on the floor). This is a whole different level.
We can’t see the (full) rod, or the second arm of the roll holder. It’s wooden, and I’ve seen *plenty* of those over the years where the arm supporting the rod has cracked and the bottom has fallen out - making it impossible for the gadget to function as designed. But, that means the owner is lazy for not replacing the holder - no matter it’s a rental or an own-your-own place. As a side note, my ex-husband broke THREE - I am not kidding, THREE - plastic toilet roll holders the first four years we were together. So I stepped up. Replaced the third one with a stainless steel model. It’s lasted the last four years of our marriage, and the seven years since then also. Best investment ever, teehee. And imo looks a LOT better than the horrible plastic stuff.
Considering all the crazy ways people spell their kid's names these days, I think this would actually be funny. It's just a silent t, but if you have a stutter that's cool, too.
I knew I guy who called himself Jimm... He said the second 'm' was silent.
How embarrassing...I've been calling him Jimm with the first 'm' being silent all this time!
Load More Replies...When my son was in kindergarten, there was a little boy in his class named Michael. One day at pick up, the teacher called the mom over and asked about the spelling of his name. Not rudely, just inquiring because it was such an unusual was to spell it. The mom was offended until the teacher pointed out that it's generally spelled "Michael", not "Micheal". Next morning at drop off, this Mom apologized for her attitude the day before and went on and on about how dumb she felt because for 5 years, that's how she thought Michael was spelled. She said she had been correcting people for years and thinking they were the dumb ones that didn't know how to spell such a common name. That was 14 years ago. I wonder if she ever changed his birth certificate or just decided to say, "ahh screw it. It is what it is".
Hey- my first AAA insurance card indicated my name was “IAFAC HARVEY.”
See, unlike the same picture up a few spots with the wooden loo roll holder - it’s *obvious* that this one is in full working order. Makes the user of the last leaf of paper & the picker-upper of the new roll lazy as all get out. And what’s worse, this could be two different people, both playing “I won’t if you don’t”. First one kills the previous roll and leaves it on the holder with like one sheet - so they can claim they didn’t “use the last bit of paper”. And the next person thinks “armpit, I’m not replacing the roll, because YOU should have done it when you made it impractical for everyone but a mouse to use the previous one”. They’re both nearly as bad as each other, but I give the prize to one-sheet-left-on-the-roll.
That's why I'm glad I live alone, bathroom always available for me. (I do get lonely sometimes, tho.)
Why aren’t there any breaks in the timetable? Are you expected to do 08:24 - 14:44 in one go?
One of those periods will be a lunch period. There are no breaks because in a larger school. groups eat lunch at different period times - some on period 5 or 6, etc. while other students are in a class.
Load More Replies...OK, I see the zero-minute gap, but even the standard of TWO minutes? FOUR was damned near impossible in my high school, not counting any trip to the locker, to pee, etc.
This is where future employees learn they are not allowed to eat or go to the bathroom.
You're supposed to have a 15 minute break after every class, not 2 minutes. It actually lets your brain to relax and you learn better and retain more of what you learned.
15 minutes? Hahahahah. They don't even schedule breaks between periods in the UK. They just accept that it will take people a couple of minutes to go from room to room.
Load More Replies...I'm guessing there's a lunch period, that you either have 6th or 7th so it doesn't need the gap. This does of course mean that you need to be prepared if you have 6th period lunch, because you'll be late for 7th period if you wait for the bell.

Load More Replies...Might be wishful thinking but I wonder if this is someone making jam. The purple stuff looks like the foam you scoop off the top of the jam when it's been boiling and it's quite common to put a spoon in the fridge or freezer so it can be used for working out if the jam has set and is ready to be put into jars.
I have (relative) who does this. Lived on my property for a while. Would put things back in the fridge or pantry with a teaspoon or so left so they could claim they didn't use it all. Sometimes they even put totally empty containers back in the fridge. Dirty dishes were more often, "I'm letting it soak so it will be easy to clean". Translation - it's easier not to clean it.
I can relate to this as I'm the one who gets full with one-three bites left. However, I do come back to finish it later on as I eat a bit but quite often and then I wash the plate so is it a crime in such circumstances?
It would be a crime to throw out perfectly edible jelly/jello.

This is because it's been knit in the round. When you do it with needles there's a trick to make the rounds line up when you change colour.
There's a few ways to avoid this jog, but they're not perfect and probably not thought about with cheap socks like this. Just put the jog on the side facing the other ankle and no one will notice.
I've tried doing jogless rounds - I can't get it to work :(

For any Americans reading: this is a normal amount of water to have in a toilet. You'll see it only goes up to just above the earphones themselves. I've never understood why your bowls are almost full and yet you still seem to have so many stories about clogged toilets. I've never encountered a clogged toilet in 40 years of being in the UK.
Low-flow toilets have been mandatory in the US since 1992 when George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act. When that law went into effect, the demand for Toto toilets in the US skyrocketed. Other US toilet manufacturers, like American Standard and Kohler, scrambled to redesign their 3.5-gallon toilets to flush with 1.6 gallons. When one of my toilets stopped working, I went shopping for a Toto. I visited a local showroom that had every toilet except Toto. I asked why, and the saleswoman said, "There's not much demand for them." Later I found out that shop was a designated Kohler showroom, and Kohler has it in their contract that the showroom cannot market any Toto products at all. I bought my Toto at a different plumbing house. Never had any problems at all. The toilet downstairs has also stopped working. That's getting replaced with a Duravit, which I hope will hold its own against Toto.
Load More Replies...Probably fell off his neck when he reached to flush. Knew a woman who lost her eyeglasses that way. She reached for the lever and her eyeglasses fell out of her shirt pocket into the toilet. She was not as fortunate as the OP, as she had already pushed the lever. Those glasses were gone.
Load More Replies...Waiting for the after photo, the one where the employee rams all the carts together against this guy's bumper. ... Just because you can park there, doesn't mean you should.
Looking closely at the photo it appears the driver (or someone before them) just drove forward and pushed the whole cart return cage forward and into the next parking lane. It is cockeyed and shoved way out. Oil stains on ground suggest where car is parked has been a spot for a long time so - not sure what is going on there other than, "I would have parked some place else".
What a numbnuts. I’d just attempt to get trollies out of the cage by standing in front of them and pushing them toward the car, hard. Every time one bounced back to me, I’d push it back, harder. And when the car’s - presumably angry - driver came back, I’d say I was trying to push them hard enough that they took off in the air and jumped over their vehicle, because how else did they expect me to get them out. (And because I’m 100% gutless, I’d make sure I stayed in the middle lane of the trolley bay while I said it, so I had an equal chance of getting away in any direction if/when they came after me physically.)
Years ago, my mother and I went to a craft store. Big parking lot, with the lanes laid out in pairs, where cars would park nose-to-nose. My mother parked in a spot where there were cars on either side of us, and a car parked in front of us. We came out from shopping to discover that some idiot decided it'd be a good idea to park *behind* my mother, so she couldn't get out. They made an announcement in the craft store, then throughout the general strip mall, and nobody came to move their car. My mother had to wait until someone who'd parked on her driver's side drove away, then my mother was able to very carefully wiggle her car out using the now-empty spot.

Years ago, I had a Jansport backpack where one of the shoulder straps finally gave way. My mother was an expert seamstress/quilter (just a hobby for her). She very carefully took my backpack apart with a seam ripper, so she had the "pattern pieces." We went to the fabric store, and I picked out a heavy-weight denim in a pattern that I liked, plus some heavy-duty interfacing, and some clear vinyl. The actual straps and zippers from the original Jansport were still in good shape, so she reused those. The clear plastic layer went on the inside of the backpack, then the interfacing, then the denim on the outside. I got a lot of compliments on that backpack, and I kept it for the next couple of years, until it also wore out.
I'm pretty sure it's Jansport who will repair or replace something that gives up. That said, nice idea.

I have had a lot of things made from this type of material (most commonly used for reusable shopping bags) and it is very poor quality and breaks easily, even just lifting moderately weighty things.

Just order some cable fix shrink ones from the internet. For a few cents you can have the colour of your choice - place the plastic sleeve over the (unplugged - I gotta say it) cracked cable, heat with a hairdryer so it shrinks neatly over the problem. And bingo - you’re done. If you really want, you can put more than one sleeve over it, making yours the only striped, coloured cable in the building. Go nuts. It’ll cost less than a new one.

Load More Replies...I venture a guess that we have 'manspreading' because women think that tight jeans and pants look good on their man without taking into consideration that we have a D and two Bs. With that in mind, if we were to wear such pants regularly, our downstairs will be HOT and thus killing off sperm for pro-creation.
if you try to manspread next to me i just poke back. Im not moving my legs.
People who ride public transit need to call this out - tell these inconsiderate people they need to close their legs so they don't encroach into other's space. Stop allowing this rudeness to continue.

this probably fell off a bigger pallet, was reported missing to the carrier, they found it, and to protect this box amongst all the other pallets on the truck, they palletized it for delivery.
*lol* don´t I know that sight? 😂 I work in a warehouse, and yes, everything going into the shelves has to be wrapped.
As a Record Custodian for the Department of Defense, I have actually received a pallet exactly like this from the National Archive with one, ONE, “1” ream of paper placed, directly in the center of the pallet and double wrapped in shrink wrap. NK!
Well, it *is* centered on the mantlepiece. This is something my ex would do. He's very precise but has no eye for artistry.
The designer of the fireplace and the wood store could’ve done so much better to make it look more like the two were centralised. A line of brick across the width of the fireplace and the cupboard, so the eye is more evenly drawn down from the mantle. Or extend the brickwork around the cupboard, so again, it doesn’t look like the fireplace is offset for no reason.
Looks like the painting was placed by a realtor selling the house. Still has the corner protectors on.
Probably planning to return it after the showing too.
Load More Replies...Judging by the dark space in from of it the original fireplace was much larger and a later remodel, when it was no longer the building's primary source of heat, reduced the opening to prevent heat loss.
That's actually an easy fix if you wanted to update it. You could easily reface the whole thing, remove the door panel and use it as a place for exposed wood storage. Functional and aesthetically pleasing without much cost.
as annoying as this is, the designer may be innocent. If there's a door at the top, there may not have been room to reach the visible door, and leave legally mandated space to have a landing to turn to the right.
Yes, very likely forced by local building codes...

Pathetic. In the annals of “I want to be internet famous by complaining about stuff”, this one is the most pathetic attempt I’ve come across. At least put them in a clear container and take the time to shrink-wrap it so it looks like it might take time and/or effort and/or money to fix. 0/10.

Public transport and other public facilities have pretty much ditched seating since COVID. It all disappeared, or got roped off, over those couple of years, and administrators decided it didn’t harm business. And this is the result. Kids who used to loiter in those seats now use food courts and stairs. No other options - but yeah, ignoring people wanting to use stairs for their intended purposes, that’s just a reflection of the “you’re wonderful”, “you’re special”, “you can do nothing wrong” parenting of the last 20 years or so. And what’s funny is those parents are now watching their kids develop into young adults, and the hand-wringing has commenced. PMSL.
Aw no, drives me insane when people do something like this. Walk down and tell them to move out of your way.

Had an interesting one here a couple of weeks ago. A cube-shape shrub was neatly pruned on a slant of about 20 degrees, so the bottom was just clear of the footpath and the top was partly blocking it.
This is a side-effect of trains and other public transport not having trash bins any more. They had to decide between trash on seats/floor or people putting explosives or setting fires in bins. They chose trash; so if it’s not yours, scrape it onto the floor and sit the heck down. If it *is* yours, put it in your bag or pocket and get rid of it at the next bin. Either way - settle down.
Here's the thing, WHY THE HELL CAN'T THE ACTUAL OWNER OF THE TRASH DEAL IT? Ever thought of that?

Cracked screen. Liquid crystal was effected. No blood, nail polish or whatever else the previous commenters posited.
Was someone playing 'Squid Game' and the squid panicked?
Yikes. Just goes to show how technology has changed even inside a decade or so. People who’ve never seen a broken LCD screen - because all they’ve ever had have been LEDs. LCD - Liquid Crystal Display was literally a liquid jammed between sheets of electrical-conducting glass that changed colour and transparency based on the current at any point of the screen. LED - Light Emitting Diode - screens are collections of thousands of tiny - for want of a better word - globes (diodes) that also react to electricity. Because the two technologies *look* similar in their end results, especially at the size of a phone or tablet screen - I guess there’s no real reason for people who’ve never seen an LCD screen to know that they’re different to an LED one. Just weird to me because I’ve been through both. But, you *can* tell the difference - if they break, a-la this picture; or by pressing the screen reasonably hard - LCD’s will get a dark/light spot, LEDs won’t.

What's the problem? All the segments are labelled so there's no need for a key or different colours.
Musical looks to be a smaller sector than the others, and the size of the lines and intersection of them in the middle makes the center look off-center. It’s really not, it’s just the larger lines intersect at their sides, not in their middle, making it look wonky. But I still reckon musicality got short shrift.

If you think this is mildly infuriating, go check out the videos of a YouTube personality who mows lawns and cleans up people's yards for free. Those videos are really something
Mowing grass is infuriating to me. People complain about not being green or ethical toward the planet and then spend time pumping mower exhaust out into the air for hours at a time all weekend long. Every bit of mowing is harmful and wasteful. The materials to make and the manufacture of mowers is harmful. Getting the gas and oil and then burning it for mowing is wasteful. Put in some plants that keep bee's alive and do something useful. and stop the noise! My stupid neighborhood is nothing but mower noise from sun up until sundown all summer long. It's not beautiful it's a freakin' grass one species desert!

My aunt told her family that the decorative hand towels in the bathroom were for their holiday guests and that her family should use the plain hand towel hanging near the tub. After the first party with the new towels, she discovered none of the guests had used them, apparently not wanting to 'dirty' them. My cousin and his sister conspired to dry their hands on the decorative towels at least once during the party. My aunt was delighted to learn her 'guests' were using the pretty towels.
If it doesn't serve a purpose: "You f*****g potato, f**k off out my kitchen"!
Do you wash the towel after each person? I use a roll of paper towels. No germs transmitted, nothing to wash.
