It's often the stupid things that tip us over the edge. Back pain remedy ending up on the bottom shelf. Bananas being both overripe and underripe... Whether the universe has conspired against someone or they simply have to deal with other people's stupidity, it only takes so much to ruin a perfectly fine day.
Disappointed and angry, people turn to the Internet. Here, they're posting photos of the annoying things that drive them crazy, hoping that someone will share their pain. And who are we to let them down? Bored Panda has put together a list of pics to prove just how annoying everyday problems can get, so continue scrolling and upvote your (least) favorite pet peeves.
And if you're into sadomasochism, check out our earlier list of mildly infuriating pictures as well.

That's The Worst
And if the other person has no intention of giving up the lead, then you are in for a comic walk marathon.
I love when people do this in the grocery store as I'm 6" away from getting in the cashier line.
Awww... sucks that you have to share the world with people who seem oblivious of your SELF IMPORTANCE.
This is the best and most accurate description i have ever read. I will cherish it forever
Interestingly, science writers Joe Palca and Flora Lichtman have even published a book, trying to explain the reasons behind our frustrations. In Annoying, they say that it's really difficult to find a universal formula for what is, well, annoying. Not every trouble is to terribly unpleasant, at least not when experienced one at a time. Rather, it is when these annoying problems are repetitive and unpredictable that they get under our skin.
A random firework might take us by surprise, it can even frighten us, but it won't instantly become annoying. Our neighbor's loud music, however, played over and over and over again, is very annoying.
When You Spend 30 Mins Guessing Your Passwords And Decide To Reset It And This Happens
One Gov't website is pretty strict. Can't have your social, or date of birth. Cannot have ANY type of word more than 3 letters long in it, must be at least 10 digits, and cannot be one you've used in the last year. And you have to reset it every month (aka every time you visit the site, really.)
Song lyrics. Take the first 2 or 3 letters from each word in the first line. Next time use the second line. Easy to remember, hard to guess.
Load More Replies...All the time! All the bloody time! I also hate different sites that require special characters.
I have one password to remember: the one that gets me into the spreadsheet that houses all of my other passwords (I'm a nerd). It's stored on a secure server and if for some reason it did get hacked, well... then they will be sorely disappointed when they try to steal my identity... I'm not worth anything.
Paul Garrity, however, believes he may have found the evolutionary seeds of annoyance, in the reactions to one of nature’s most annoying creatures: the fly. The associate professor of biology at Brandeis University has devoted his time to studying the fruit fly. It has an ability similar to our own to sense potentially dangerous chemicals as well as pressure and temperature changes. That skill, to perceive possible dangers, may be the origin of the annoyance we feel today, he said.
Erasers Like These
They just wanted to leave their mark in life. So misunderstood.
Load More Replies...This happens when the pencil is old. If you can't remember when you bought it, don't use the eraser.
Why were all these downvoted? I like the "Pink Pearl" and "White Pearl" erasers that are polygon-shaped (I think that's the term). Plus Staedtler art erasers and kneaded erasers for drawing. I only discovered the kneaded kind recently - you use it to sort of dab at the picture rather than scrubbing it. It's super effective at lifting off graphite and it's fun to moosh it around.
I love Staedtler erasers. Kneading erasers are good for drawings, but I always have to wrap them in foil or plastic when not using them because everything sticks to them.
Load More Replies...95% of the time we write on white paper so, why not make the erasers white?
Rub it against your jeans or another bit of coarse fabric to remove the outer layer of oxidization. How can you reach adulthood without learning that?
I noticed the other day that when u press hard,it leaves the mark. But when u just gently glide over, it erases pretty well! Maybe that's the trick
Apparently, we can train ourselves not to get annoyed by the small funny problems. Well, at least some of the time. Have you ever noticed how childfree people get more impatient with a crying or misbehaving kid than parents do? Michael R. Cunningham, a psychologist at the University of Louisville, told The Boston Globe that, "You can leave the environment, you can change the environment, or you can do something inside yourself to change your reaction." That could mean changing behaviors, for example, doing deep breathing, counting to 10, or taking a walk every time you're stressed out. It could also mean deliberately changing your thoughts about the situation - deciding, for instance, to view it as quirky instead of annoying.
When You’re Pouring Something And This Happens
If you place a chopstick, straw or some other long utensil to the pouring edge pointing toward the vessel you want the liquid to go in it helps it not spill. We do this with a glass rod when pouring acids in chem class. I used this technique last week to pour ramen in a to go container.
Load More Replies...Pyrex measuring cups are the worst! Why can't they design one that does not make a big mess!
Bugger! So annoying. You need to do what I did in the lab, use something like a glass rod (a chopstick would do) to assist in pouring. Works a treat.
I wrote to them about how their spouts never pour properly and they are perfectly aware of it but won't change it. I suppose it costs too much money to correct a faulty and bad design. I wonder if they checked it before going ahead and making billions of them? It would have solved billions of cooks and cleaners a lot of misery!
Usually means you’re pouring too much at once and need to scale back a tad
Argh! Absolute pet peeve of mine. What's the use of the pour spout IF IT DOESN'T POUR???? My 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup does this (I make my own hummingbird nectar). I literally have to use a funnel and a REALLY slow pour to transfer.
Forget Drinking Straws - This Is The Kind Of Plastic Use We Should Be Protesting
because when talking about littering, people usually blame consumers/end users, and never the companies/manufacturing factories who use all the plastics that only be used once and immediately trashed. I work at a manufacturing plant and the amount of single use plastic here is horrendously stupid.
This s**t keeps me awake at night. This is our home and we don't deserve it.
Load More Replies...I worked in a clothing store and let me tell you some brands when we get them they have their cloths in plastic blag which is also in a plastic bag in a giant plastic bag in the box. Then you are going to pack up the cloths for display and the cloths have effing plastic around the buttons and the collar.
I feel like the plastic-straw issue is kind of busywork to keep our minds off the jillions of pounds of pollutants put out by corporations.
In my day...back in the dark ages of shopping...things came in paper bags, including clothes.
This annoys me too - I buy a lot online for my business and the amount of plastic things come in is unreal. Once I received a small item in a huge box, wrapped several times in bubble wrap, then the box was filled with those air pocket / plastic air bags to stop it being damaged... Just use a smaller box and paper...
But remember those plastic bags are not toys!! What kind of sad a*s life do you have to have to think that a plastic bag is a toy??? The warning on them is ridiculous.
Kids, kids think everything is a toy, and kids have suffocated playing with plastic bags. That warning is for their parents. 🤷🏼♀️
Load More Replies...I Feel Like This Happens To Me More Often Than It Should
As annoying as some yutz of a guy grabbing you as you hurry by and says, "Whoa, what's the rush, toots?
One time when I was driving, I'd worn a sweater with a long belt that I hadn't tied. As I was driving, I heard a wap-way sound from the side of my car. When I stopped, I found I had a long section of the belt that had been caught in the door and left hanging out. It had been raining and was muddy so the very wet muddy belt was hitting the side making the noise. Just one of my many clothes 'adventures'. 😋
Boxes That Open Like This
I've started slipping a very sharp knife underneath. Because this ALWAYS HAPPENS!
NUu! The Mac n cheese! This is... just.... I CANT THINK OF A WORD
Because you're not strong enough to rip the entire top off?? HAHAHAHA!
Finally Someone Made A Statue Of This
Mine can literally just be lying there with not touching them and they tangle
Load More Replies...For some reason, no matter how, where, or for how long I set headphones, they never tangle. I think I have super powers
Happened to me today - you know when you just surrender to fate and leave them tangled? I did that.
Looks like the scribble-monster in the Doctor Who ep of "Fear Her".
It's headphone elves, they come out at night and screw them up just to see us angry the next day > < *
The cord of my wife's hair dryer! How on earth does it end up with that many knots? And I won't talk about necklaces...
Must be nice to have someone who pays attention. Have you ever thought she might be doing this on purpose just to get you ?

Even this image makes me want to kick it to the floor and then to the check stand.

Yes!!! Those and knee braces are ALWAYS on the bottom shelf!! Torture.
Just think about how much more they sell when you hurt your back trying to reach it!
Destroying The Planet One Apple At A Time
An apple a day keeps the sea turtles away... Don't hate me. I love sea turtles. 🐢
I refuse to buy overpackaged produce, even if it means going to a second store on shopping day.
It irritates me when they put fake skins on things with real skins
That's when you find your store's suggestion box and jot them a note. That's ridiculous.
The Beach Near My House After The Tourist Left
When we go camping we usually carry garbage bags with us, or at least use the bags we used to get the stuff with us there, to get everything back with us home, no trash left behind.
Load More Replies...There are several garbage bags in the picture. Maybe this was an accident, like a sudden high tide or wave that broke them open and scattered their contents? Or maybe I just don't want to believe people could be such pigs? (Sorry to actual pigs).
When Your Keys Do The Thing
I spent way too long looking at this and trying to figure out what everyone thought was wrong since it apparently wasn't "having a bunch of c**p on your key ring".
They are protesting they have to share the key ring with all that other stuff.
So I am leaving and put the key in the outside keyhole of the door before I close it and the leather key case gets stuck in the door with too little room left to maneuver the key out of the keyhole ... It took me half an hour until I managed to pry the key case from the door's grip and I was way beyond fuming. I was in a hurry, but even though I could not open the door since the door has two locks and this one was the safety lock, not the one that actually opens the door, I also could not leave with my keys in the door. It was absurd!
Every Dang Time
This problem is even worse with larger width cellophane tapes - I lose 105-15% of the tapes to such "tapering".
This is so annoying. And I can't just leave it there like that. Then when I tear it off, I go looking for a "mini-spill" , so as not to waste it. :-)
You have no idea how relieving it is to know I am not the only one. I too use those for small one - two drop spill cleanup, but I'll wait tearing it or save it till I see tiny spill.
Load More Replies...The Image Speaks For Itself
Simple. A cat will not use anything as a scratch post if there's any movement at all, it has to be completely unmoveable; hence opting for the armchair: My kitchen table has one leg whittled down to the width of a match! (Metaphor, smiley face).
This explains why the five hundred scratching post, boards and beds ended up in the trash
Load More Replies...Yep. That's what I was thinking. Cats like to stretch out as they scratch. That tiny little post doesn't offer that.
Load More Replies...My vet told me that cats have a empty space in their head. When they headbutt thing it feels good to them. I wonder what that says about me?
Load More Replies...That scratch post is too tiny for your cat's size, clearly. And it's not stable at all...
Exactly. I got a taller scratch (84 cm / 33in) post for my cat and he never again touched my couch! It's a shame how difficult it is to find tall scratch posts
Load More Replies...Cats ARE trainable! It takes a little dedication for about two weeks, plus double stick tape, and you can train your cat not to scratch anything but the scratching post. I've had cats my whole life, I've never declawed a cat (barbaric practice!), and I do not have scratched furniture.
Text Printed All The Way To The Spine
VERy annoying! As a perfectionist around books, I would barely read the book just to keep it in good condition >:|
Load More Replies...That's strange, as a bookseller I'd say that's faulty printing/binding!
I read I lot, I almost always don’t have this problem, but I end up damaging the spines when I do. It suck when that happens!
The problem is not the printing, it happens later, whan the pages are bound together, or on the opposite, earlier, if there's not enough blank space dedicated to the glueing of the spine. Either way, it's not the printer's fault, it's eitehr the designer or the bookbinder. Signed, a bookbinder...
The Way My Mom Watches TV With Things Obscuring The Screen
I could understand a cat purposely blocking, but a vase of flowers? And that Pringle stand? Picture frame? Makes me want to be a 2 legged cat and knock them all over. "Oops. I mean Meow." I can't even stand a little smultz sometimes. Makes me clean the screen, then go cuckoo if it's not gone.
These
And when you do manage to get them out, there's a mark because of the ripped threads... (EDIT: I do use scissors, but unco me always finds some way to cut the fabric.)
Don't rip it out then. Clip it carefully with scissors
Load More Replies...I hate losing them and then finding them later because they kept itching your skin
I always cut these with a pair of scissors (it does leave a small hole in the fabric, but is better than having a larger one). However, if you cut them and lose the smaller fragment, it is very hard to find (could end up on the floor poking you if you step on it - can be painful)
This is a real pet peeve for me . Found one on something I have owned and worn for a long time.
Wtf I Suppose To Say
Oh man, nope! I'd be grabbing a new one and giving that one back to the cashier...
would ask for the sale of it to be cancelled and then go speak to the manager and tell them they need to teach their staff how to pack groceries..
Load More Replies...Grrrr, that’s like posties who fold mail that has a sticker on saying “do not bend”.
That's partially due to so much junk advertising trying to look all "special" and "official" it cheapens the value of such stickers.
Load More Replies...OMG, at our supermarket there's a bagger who has some form of autism, and he's a grandmaster at bagging things properly. I always try to get in his checkout line.
Did you wait until it was hard and hit him over the head with it?

Oh yes, and 5 star reviews, because “the delivery was on time and the delivery man was very friendly and the box is beautiful and it says on the site that it can do so much and they can’t wait to unbox it and use it”.
Better than getting a 1-star review on a book you've written because "the shipping took longer than expected." Grrrr.
Load More Replies...Almost as bad as giving a one star review because they ordered the wrong product and don't know how to return it.
I did this once at the beginning because I didn't know how the system worked. All I knew is I got an email asking a question so I answered it. Then I learned how Amazon worked and felt like a jackass.
Load More Replies...To be fair to respondents like this, I get emails from amazon saying "can you help this person?". To just ignore it feels rude, so I can see why people who don't understand the system would feel obliged to answer.
I don't know about anyone else but any time I left a review less than four stars they said it doesn't meet criteria and don't post it. So fishy I'll never leave a review again on a zon.
I Knew There Was Something Fishy When My Pencil Sharpened Perfectly
Dropping pencils can cause the lead to break inside. I guard my art supplies for this reason.
I crack down on students using their pencils like drumsticks.
Load More Replies...I obsessively sharpen my pencils and to me this is a nightmare.
A 6B pencil is very, very soft. They should never be sharpened in a sharpener. Artists who use them regularly keep a piece of 100-grit sandpaper nearby to put a point on them if they wish.
The Only Reason Wy I Hate Glasses
Or drinking a hot beverage. Or opening the oven to check on dinner.
Load More Replies...I hate having to clean them all the time after the lenses collect tons of dust and I can’t see a thing
It's one of the reasons I got LASIK eye surgery back when it was brand new...that and not being able to see my kids in the pool. I also never liked the way I looked in glasses but I'd say rain and fogging up of glasses are both such a pain. My son who's now in his 20's just had LASIK too and loves it as much as I did.
I have to wear them when I ride (horses)- particularly when we jump (so I can judge distances). When hot and humid they fog up super fast- Not an option to stop and wipe your lenses when you are in the middle of a course! I hate contacts, but have to wear them on muggy days
This is easily avoided by wearing a brimmed hat. It also helps keep the cancer rays off of your face when it's not raining. Just make a hat part of your look. Problem solved.
Pickup Trucks With High Beams On
I always adjust my mirrors so that the light reflects back at them,
Higher cars ( I mean, for example a 4x4 bmw), have the lights a bit higher that regular cars, so the lights will blind the other driver, no matter what that driver tries to do to avoid that. Once I had to stop roadside to let him pass since it was getting dangerous.
Load More Replies...I have one of those programmable light bars in my rear windshield, so I can communicate with morons behind me. One of my frequently used and saved phrases is "Blinding me doesn't make me drive faster."
Bless you! I've always wanted one but didn't think they actually existed for normal peoples cars! I'd have that phrase and also - "the closer you come, the slower I go" and "I break for tailgaters".
Load More Replies...it seems to me to be a manufacturing problem..I've notice when driving at night the different variants in luminosity of modern cars..probably aren't on high beam but yet they are still bright as F..
Or the high beam a*****e coming toward you who is oblivious to you frantically flipping your brights on and off while they blind you (and the residual dots in your eyes afterward). IF they turn their lights down, it’s only at the last minute.
They KNOW what they're doing. A few years ago at Xmas Eve, a Jeep with monster tires pulled up behind me. At the stop light, he turned off his headlights. Same thing at the next stop. So I got out, ran around to his door and handed him a bottle of wine and said, "Thanks!"
That's a kind gesture of you, but that could get you killed here in Phoenix. People would think road rage and shoot if you got out of your car and approached. Be careful!
Load More Replies...My husbands lights shine in my mirror just cause it's tall. It's a default factory size F250. Not always high beams, lifted trucks, or after market headlights.
Restaurants That Serve Cold Butter, Causing The Bread To Break When You Spread It
Yes!!! I keep my butter in a butter dish on the counter in my kitchen and my friends are horrified because it'll go "bad" and poison me lol. Well, I've made it to 50 and not dead yet... so..... lol
Load More Replies...That's probably the same baguette that the supermarket clerk bent in half.
This REALLY pisses me off! The bread is only a delivery system for that warm delicious butter so when it gets torn up, it's useless.
on the topic of cold butter, when I forget to take it out of the fridge before making sandwiches, I have had great success using a cheese grater. At least there isn't that moment when you bite into a huge glob of butter.
Every Night Like 2000 Times A Night, Having To Fix This
I buy the deep pocket sheets now. I could always feel when this happened, and it woke me up!
I'd leave all my belongings and go sleep in a field. I am irritated just by looking at this.
Never mind...I just answered my own question. sheet-susp...96ee92.jpg
I Couldn't Get My Grass To Grow, So I Replaced It With A Rock Bed. Six Months Later And The Grass Is Growing Better Than Ever
Just go out with a keg of wine and pull the suckers. I do that several times a summer and the river rock looks great. Sometimes I have to crawl back to the house, but hey . . .
Lawns are discouraged in my desert town- so most people have gravel. It's the worst for getting stuck in shoe treads ( then marking up our hardwood floors) Gravel is great for water retention- that's probably why the grass started to grow... without the rock cover the water just runs off. Because gravel protects the ground and holds water It's amazing for wildflowers
and THAT is why it is necessary to put down a layer of weed shield cloth
Every Goddamn Time I Try To Peel Open One Of These
Of course this happens after you spent 20 minutes getting through the plastic on the outside lid first.
Yes there are hacks for it, but why bother to make it look like it's even removable?!!
I stab them with tweezers or scissors, basically any sharp implement I can find in the bathroom drawer.
Sitting Under This “Vent” All Summer Wondering Why I Wasn’t Getting Any Cooler
Friends of ours bought a house that had a ceiling fan in the living room... they couldn't find the switch to it and closer inspection showed it had been nailed to the ceiling. No wires, no power, no switch, just stuck up there.
You mean, for "decorative" purposes? the previous owner were dumb enough to tink it will work that way? or it was to deceive the buyers?
Load More Replies...Landlord to prospective tenant "Yes, it is air conditioned. See the vent". Never believe them!
Middle Seat
That’s just rude sleeping on a stranger and invading someone’s personal space. Poor guy, this is where shoulders come in handy. Continue nudging them until they get the hint.
I doubt they do it on purpose. It's difficult to remain upright when you fall asleep; and you often automatically flop one way or another. If he truly bothers him, he can wake them.
Load More Replies...Happy to be the guy in the middle (not in the creepy way). I don't understand why people are annoyed by this.
I flew from Doha Qatar to Washington DC direct in a middle seat. That's about 14 hours. I had a Pakistani gentleman on my right and an Indian gentleman on my left. They spoke to each other in broken English (the only common language they had) for almost the entirety of the flight even though I offered several times to switch seats with either one. It was a LOooonnngggg flight
When Apps Don't Use QWERTY
Funny thing is German/ Austrian keyboards are actually QWERTZ. And there is even AZERTY, which was the french one, I think. It can be a real mind f**k when you're used to typing without looking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTZ
Come on. It's the in alphabetic order, so it's not like you don't know where something is. It's that the interface sucks in that you can only poke one letter at a time. I highly doubt a QWERTY layout would make this interface any better.
When the apps calls for a number to be entered but doesn’t present the 10 key number pad!
My fingers have muscle memory locked it were every letter is for optimum typing so this would mess me up
Ended Up Putting Pepper In My Pasta. Why Is The Pepper White And The Salt Black?!
This reminds me of my aunt who likes to put salt in her sugar dish, worse coffee EVER!

These Bananas Are Both Overripe And Underripe
My question is, Where did you get bananas the size of an adult forearm?
This usually indicates the bananas were put in a refrigerator when they were still unripe. Don't keep your bananas in the fridge.
Actually if you wrap them in a plastic bag you can put them in the fridge for a few days.
Load More Replies...Freezer or refrigerator damage. Doesn't affect the fruit though, it's only skin-deep.
When you want to use them, cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave 30 seconds -- turn -- 30 seconds -- turn, and repeat one more time. Then let it cool before peeling.
Forget the color. Where does one get these monster bananas?! Its the size of their forearm.

Spent Hours Completing This Mildly Infuriating Puzzle And Now I Can't
Its planned - the company keeps 1 piece from 499 puzzles; a different piece from each box, and they have 1 extra puzzle to sell.
No, only 488 because it needs to miss a piece! ;)
Load More Replies...Looks finished enough to me. Slap a sticker over that thang and call it a night lol
Great patience. If a person has OCD and this happens, it is no longer classified as "mildly" infuriating.
Every new puzzle my friend bought in the last 3 years is missing 1 piece.
I would change the puzzle company if I were him. Does he complain? Is he getting the pieces? Or does he maybe loose them himself? Because: every puzzle in 3 years? Thats either very bad luck, a stupid company or... its his fault
Load More Replies...So what you do then is take tracing paper and trace the piece, then get some cardboard and make that piece and colour it with the colours that match that spot.
Soooo, Basically Any Price
Ha! That's like a store we have where I live called $5 bargain hunt. There was literally nothing there that was $5, nothing... and it was all used stuff thrown into bins. Horrible shop.
Like a treasure hunt, tyhey want you to hunt for the bargain.
Load More Replies...We have a store called "99 cents ONLY," except for the items that are $1.99-$14.99...
When I lived in St.Moritz there was a store called "di e not" which translation means day&night (funny tough..) anyway: it was meant to be a 24/7 shop. So once I asked my friends when the 24/7 shop is closing. sure, everybody was laughing about me. but it turned out to close at 10pm.
When Your Dog Does This
@Zori the degu: Retractable leashes aren't pointless. Some use them to allow dogs to explore a park within a certain range. You can use them for training, and you can lock them at different points so they can't pull the leash out any further, essentially customizing a leash's length. Additionally, a dog who accidentally ropes their leash around a pole or such isn't a "bad dog" or the result of a "clueless owner." They're just a curious dog, exploring the area where they're walking. Many very good, well-trained dogs from competent and caring owners do this just because they are sniffing or playing with another dog.
Load More Replies...A friend of mine trained her dog with the word "tree" - so when this happened, she just hat to say "tree" and the dog would walk back and around the tree (or sign, or lamppost) - this was sooo cool
That's how I solved the problem, too. Although from time to time my dog will just look at me like: what in the world are you talking about? And then I still have to walk around the tree.
Load More Replies...Ha ha. I find my self hugging lamposts on a regular basis as I pass the lead from one hand to the other to fix this.

With My $400$ Vip Ticket You Can’t Even See The Stage
I believe this is actually at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. That's the walkway that the VIP section takes to get to the front of the stage (if you keep walking it goes around the left side of the stage and into a corral area). There aren't an unlimited number of spaces for VIPs, so if you aren't there early enough you won't get in, but you're not stuck standing where that picture was taken. So it's a bit misleading for sure. You can either get there earlier or go around and stand with everybody else behind the VIP section.
Still, if someone *pays* for a VIP ticket they should be able to actually get in the VIP section. Shame on the venue for overselling VIP tickets.
Load More Replies...I work security at festivals, trust me when I say that you should NEVER stand on the sides - EVER. Especially if you're there with kids as they won't be able to see anything and no matter what you say to the security staff people, they will NOT move to give you or your kids a better view. Ever. I've had parents asking me to let them into the handicap area so their (not handicapped) kids can see. No, just no. A million times no. Volume is louder on the sides, you'll see barely anything even if you're tall, your photos will be s****y, and if you're on the side but outside the gated audience area trying to sneak a peek - you'll likely to be blocking the way for the security staff. Plus: if there's a fire or an accident requiring an ambulance/fire truck: everyone will run to the sides as it is (usually) the escape route. Go for the middle, always the middle. The middle is the best.
not sure about that one, THOSE look like the VIP tickets. Usually sides are pretty cheap, also... there's ALWAYS a map of the event . You just don't buy blindly https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/0- 5d4b0e91b01ce.jpg
I would upvote this, but I won't due to the $400. Seriously stop spending more than $45 on ANY concert ticket and the prices will become reasonable again. In 1986 or 7, concert ticket for the biggest bands was $15 and no way has there been enough inflation to warrant tickets over $100.
You'll just have to blow it off. I went to a McCartney concert many years ago, my seat almost grazing the sky. A quarter way through I made my way down and then toward the main stage. No one objected, and I could almost see Paul's brownish-green eyes.

Happened to me once, only once where I work. I had the misfortune to use a $20 bill to buy a $2 article. Got a ton of ¢5, 10 and 25. There *was* a plastic trap door to keep change from jumping out of the chute. I used only ¢5 to buy stuff from that machine till it was jammed with coins, for a month. Now, it give change the appropriate way...
I'm going to guess that nickels take up the most volume for how little they are worth. So they don't take nickels. But to make change you'd still need them. Example. Jerk puts in several 10s to get quarters back. Quarters are wiped out. I put in a dollar to get a 75 cent bag of Doritoes. I get two dimes and a nickle back. Couldn't find the real answer, but this it sounds plausible.
One time, I tried to get a .50 soda out of the machine in front of the grocery store. I didn't get my soda. I got nearly $8 in change. It spit out coins like a slot machine.
Grrrrr!
Doesn't always work. Sometimes, the serrated edge is just dull. Then you're pretty much SOL. Nobody seems to sell replacements, so you're forced to throw the whole thing out. Total waste.
Load More Replies...the serrated edge is facing down so you don't hurt yourself, but now you cant use it :/
You don't drag the tape along the edge... you lift it a little higher, pull it forward to how much you need, lay it down to edge and cut it off. Wow! are people really THAT stupid?????
You try to cut it but the thingy is not sharp enough and you destroy it instead of cutting it.
Load More Replies...Ruining The Best Shot
I wonder how long will it takes for people to realize you should always give way to the professional photographer? because 1. they are professional and most importantly 2. it cost money to hired them...
I've shot weddings and I'll tell the people in group shots with great grandma etc in them to make sure they are looking at me. You know, the one with the fancy looking gear hired to shoot the damn thing. Nope, some jackass is always looking at Aunt Tina who's trying to talk over me to get their attention.
Load More Replies...this is why you say its a tech-free wedding.... and just let the PROFESSIONAL photographer do the job the couple PAID them to do.....
There is a sickness in the land. It compels people to photograph everything always. They are unable to just stand back and be in the moment.
Thanks for ruining the shot that they paid for and a pic on your phone that you will never look at again
When I did weddings, I made an announcement....they paid me. I will set up the picture, take mine, then I will step aside for you to take a quick shot. Then you will step back and let me set up the next shot. It usually worked pretty well. And I was nice about it, which really too the edge off. The couple also knew this when they hired me.

WD-40, a blow dryer on high, putting water or lens cleaning solution on the label - let it soak. All will break down different types of adhesive. Dawn dish soap will remove the WD-40. Use a lens cleaning cloth to dry.
Make the store take the sticker off before you buy it so that way if it breaks or scratches the lens it's all on them.
The same when you buy picture frames, almost every manufacturer seems to put the label on the glass is instead of the back which makes no sense. I've also bought several decorative bowls and vases where the natural position for the label would be the base and they slap it on the side, why? Most stores have scanners and the clerk is going to check the bottom first.
And how can you tell the lens isn't scratched -- and if you buy it and remove the sticker to discover a scratch they'll probably blame you. Make the store remove the sticker!
Orange Oil cleaner for the glue, then 90% alcohol to remove the orange oil.

First Trillion Dollar Company
Apple is more and more like a scam to me, with the more new innovations they come up with.
Dont forget if you take them into high humidity you void any warranty. Every other laptop can take a bit of rain or wetness but apple c**p one drop and it dies.
Load More Replies...Then why do you buy it? I love Apple products and I have a lot of them myself but I only buy Apple products if they suit my needs and I do some research so I know that they can do and what I need extra to suit my needs before I buy it. If it does not comply with what I want or what I expect from it I don't buy it. Don't buy the stuff and complain after.
I have vowed never to buy anything made by Apple. Proprietary BS is what killed it for me. I know they've slowly started to add actual USB's to their stuff, but as far as I'm concerned it's too little, too late.
iPad pro comes with usb C type port for charger. You'd think that port could connect with other USB C type cables... Guess again it doesn't. USB C port on iPad pro is just a tiny bit smaller than other USB C type cables. So basically you are still stuck buying Apple USB C cables.
Load More Replies...I have a Mac desktop and it performs really well, but I hate the corporate culture and cult of personality.

When Your Bananas Hang Themselves
Sister Didn’t Mention That Her Dogs Have Fleas When I Said I’d Watch Them For Her
The sister is obviously not looking after her dogs very well for them to be THAT infested with fleas.
Indeed... that's more fleas than I ever saw even when my parent's cats had fleas. Proper grooming got rid of most of them, the only problem was to get rid of them for good. If you are this covered in fleas from your pet, you aren't doing anything to keep the infestation in check.
Load More Replies...She should treat the dogs as soon as possible. Not only because it's good for the dogs' comfort and health but also because fleas will invade the house and its extremely difficult to get rid if them.
It looks like they already have invaded the house. It takes a lot of effort to get them out, too. A lot more effort than simply treating the dogs in the first place.
Load More Replies...At this point you need an exterminator. There are so many adult fleas that means so so many more eggs and larvas. That's so dangerous for the dogs and her. Insane

This Warning Every Time You Turn Up The Volume On Samsung
This is crazy annoying. Sometimes what your listening to gets quiet and you need to turn it up. Reading a damn pop up while also trying to keep up with what your listening to makes me cranky ... sorry, rant over. :P
Load More Replies...I've seen this warning before, but I swear you can turn it off or something. At least I haven't seen it for a long time on my phone.
yup..and of coarse if you leave the volume as is you can barely hear the clip..mind you, you only get this when wearing headphones..
I like it, makes sure I'm not deaf 20 years down the road. Thanks for having my back Sammy.
Yeah Sammy has your back, offering you a phone that most of you can’t comfortably afford that’s planned to be obsolete by the time you pay it off. Besties!
Load More Replies...Just Incase you ignored the pain in your ears, the phone is smart enough to give you a visual notice.
You can calibrate the level at which the warning is given. I had an iPod that did this, I use professional high-impedance headphones (which take more wattage to drive at the same volume as dollar store earbuds). You just have to go in and "sign the waiver"

May as well wipe your a*s with tissue paper. Probably the same thing anyway.
No. Don't do it. If you use good quality tissues, they will not dissolve in water. They will clogg the toilet!
Load More Replies...I guess I’m the only one who doesn’t mind one ply. Who wants to wipe their a*s with a quilt? That’s what some of y’all want toilet paper to feel like lol. One ply is cheaper too, even if you use more of it. And it doesn’t clog toilets ever.
Public washroom toilet paper like this is basically thinner than tissue paper and has no absorbancy though.

In my supposedly elite school, we have a new principal and we don't have soap, we don't have toilet paper at all(unless there would be parents meeting, obviously), some rooms are so in need of renovation bits of the ceiling are falling off, students' monthly scholarships decrease in size every year while the expectations increase steeply(I didn't get my perfectly deserved scholarship because they changed the conditions at the last moment) and finally, teachers are complaining about their lowered salaries. The question is: where do all the money go?

Stop the madness! If all of us as customers Never bought holiday items outside of 2 - 6 weeks before a holiday (depending on which one it is), retailers would not fill so much shelf space with items that no one is buying yet. Please stop encouraging them.
This has been going on for years and people complaining about it has not stopped them from doing it. It is just as easy to avoid those aisles as it is to keep scrolling past things online you dont care about. Sometimes I like it because i get to beat the rush and casually stroll threw the aisle to see what they have, you are not required to partake in the madness.
