Our shortcomings don't define us. It's how we react to them that shapes us both in our own and other people's eyes. However, as we can see from the subreddit 'Mildly Infuriating', not everyone is willing to understand or capable of understanding that.
As you might remember from our earlier publications such as this one, this online community with 4.4 million members has plenty of content to send your blood into a simmer in a matter of seconds, but there's a special category of it that we at Bored Panda think deserves an article of its own—folks who don't accept they're in the wrong.
Whether it's someone trying to scam another person off a few bucks or just embracing their fragile ego, continue scrolling to check out the characters who earned themselves the label of 'mildly infuriating'.

Trying To Meet People... Sucks
That would've gotten a, 'sure no probs!' followed by a complete no show.
How Not To Purchase A Computer From Someone...
Reminds of the Monty Python movie Life of Brian "We're supposed to haggle" scene.
To learn more about how to stay off such lists and what to do in order to stay grounded, we contacted Dr. Mike Brooks, a licensed psychologist based in Austin, Texas as well as F. Diane Barth, LCSW, who is a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City.
"A purpose in life is to learn, grow, and improve. We cannot do this unless we first recognize and admit our mistakes," Dr. Brooks, the author of 'Tech Generation: Raising Balanced Kids in a Hyper-Connected World,' told Bored Panda.
"We must remind ourselves that to 'err is human,' and we are fulfilling a purpose in life every time we admit our mistakes. Thus, from this perspective, mistakes are opportunities for growth that allow us to fulfill life's purpose. Moreover, a natural byproduct of growth and improvement is greater levels of happiness."

Sure, heaven forbid someone ask about the history of the car they're trying to buy 🙄

Dr. Brooks said that refusing to recognize and admit our mistakes when we are wrong hinders our growth and drowns us in disharmony. "This also increases the chances that we, and others, will suffer because when we don't learn from our mistakes, we are more likely to repeat them."
"When we don't admit when we are wrong, we create rifts in our relationships, which are the very source of our own happiness. In essence, we shoot ourselves in the foot," the psychologist explained.
"When it comes to relationships, in particular, it is better to be effective than to be right."

Diane Barth agrees that not acknowledging your mistakes can damage your relationships. "Over the years in my work as a psychotherapist, I've almost never seen a relationship destroyed because someone made a mistake," the author of I Know How You Feel: The Joy and Heartbreak of Friendship in Women's Lives said. "But I've seen many destroyed when someone who made a mistake refused to admit it."
Moreover, if people stop trusting you, you put not only your personal relationships in jeopardy but other aspects of life, such as work, as well.
4 Spots In A Home Depot
Yeah, this way of parking is *begging* to be completely surrounded by other parking cars. Bonus: It shouldn't be all that difficult to park nicely between the lines.

Back in my younger days, I would casually walk by your car and key it for such an offense.
Be a real shame if a bunch of 8 penny nails magically appeared by his tires
I carry super glue and bbs for this. I take the air noze off. And super glue in a bb. And screw on. Person takes off. Fills air. And outs back on. And the bb deflates it again.
I think I'll pop into Home Depot and pick up four screwdrivers.
I saw something just like this, also at a Home Depot, even better centered across the four closest non-handicapped spots...and it was a PRIUS.
That dude would've came out to three flat tires. Why three and not all four? I'm glad you asked. Insurance companies that cover that kind of thing will pay if all four are slashed but if it's less they won't. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
I honestly think people who do s**t like this should be arrested. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but not sorry really
That's an invitation. My preferred method of vengeance is to chew up a candy bar and smear it on the windshield and under the door handle for assholes like this.
I would park super close as i could, even if it made me have to climb outside of the passenger side. Take photos right after I parked of my car and its condition plus his plate and parking position and vehicle condition. That way if there is any damage i could reasonably file a complaint with insurance 🤗
What I can't stand is healthy people parking in the Handicap stop. Burns me up!!
If I see people doing this, I always try to park so close to their driver side, they will have to climb into the car from the passenger side.
Oh but his manhood extension might have someone get too close. He is obviously waaaay to fragile for that 😬
Get the guy with the front loader to ease him over next to the rail. Every hardware store has at least one front end loader. If it punctured something underneath that's a bonus.
I have a little thing printed up to insert under the windscreen wiper of vehicles like this. "I hope you don't f*ck like you park. You'd never get it in." I keep about 10 or so in the glovebox.
Remember kids, under no circumstances should you slash 3/4 tires on a vehicle, because insurance won’t do much unless all four are slashed… that would be bad and mean and you definitely should not do that… unless?
Shouldn't have covered the license plate. If he wants to be that kind of jerk he should own it
Those are the people that get their vehicles keyed. I'm not condoning such an act, but I certainly understand it.
I have no problem with people who take up multiple spots to protect their vehicles from damage, as long as they park in the spots furthest from the store. If you car vehicle is too precious to get dents or scratches then walk. Leave the close spots to those of us who like to live dangerously.
That’s a Sydney quality parking job there (i suck at parking lol)

Hotel Keeps My Deposit Because I Left A Poor Review On Booking.com
Some people, however, seem completely incapable of admitting their mistakes. For example, Dr. Brooks highlighted that wars have taken millions of lives, yet those in power still haven't admitted they could've changed course and prevented it.
"People have trouble admitting they are wrong for many reasons but one of the main ones has to do with ego and attachment. When we attach our sense of self to a mental position and take the stance, 'I am right', it becomes part of our identity, part of our ego."
"'I am right' is almost like saying, 'I am Mike' or whatever your name is. Now, my ego, or sense of self, has become attached to a mental position. A primitive 'fight/flight/freeze' survival mechanism kicks in to defend my 'rightness' as if I were defending my very life. It's like a little part of me will die if I were to admit that I am wrong," the psychologist said.

A Business In Maine Had This In Their Window This Sunday
This was just in the news last week. It was an insurance office and they've been banned from selling by several big-name insurance companies because of this. As they should be.

Was Seeing Him For Almost 2-Months Before I Found Out. Sent Him This Message Before Telling His Fiancé Everything
"[If that turns out to be the case, I] feel like I am diminished, in a way, and you, the person in the 'right,' are now superior to me. This is really hard for my ego to take, so I defend myself [and] my 'rightness,' at all costs. Even when this causes great suffering," Dr. Brooks continued.
"The suffering of me admitting that I am wrong is worse than the consequences that come from not admitting that I am wrong, at least in my head. This perspective, which is inspired by Buddhist psychology, is an example of why various attachments are often at the root of suffering."

Interestingly, self-awareness also allows us to make better decisions. In one study, students who scored higher on "metacognitive awareness" (the ability to reflect on personal thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs) made more effective decisions when it came to playing a computer game in which they had to diagnose and treat virtual patients. The authors of the research argued that this was because they could set more well-defined goals and take strategic actions.

"This often crazy, hyper-connected world is moving at a breakneck pace. Our technological evolution is zooming past our biological evolution, [and] we can't adapt fast enough to the changes taking place," Dr. Brooks said.
"In the hustle and bustle of this world, we need to work hard to carve out time to unplug, slow down, and connect more with life and the world around us. We need to place some reasonable limits and boundaries around our technology use in particular and find some quiet times that allow for self-reflection."

Our Delivery Man Bit The Bag, Took A Small Bite, And Took Off
Some people think they can pull a stunt like this and get away it because they probably did in the past. You take a picture and call the store. They will probably report the driver and never use him again. And another thing…..what balls this guy has!!!

This sort of depends on if they originally promised that day off and then changed their mind.

There were some posts that I couldn't tell who was supposed to be the one blatantly in the wrong. Life is ambiguous.
There were even more that were incomprehensible.
