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.
Ghosting people is not good behavior. At least this lady told the guy she was offended.

Wait, this was a date? I'd definitely not want to meet someone that was already that aggressive about how they were going to behave.
Probably would need instructions. Maybe he wouldn't understand them anyway.
Load More Replies...Seriously, I like it. It's straight forward. No thinking about social rules unnecessarily for hours. No guessing about what might be appropriate for the person I don't know. And paying for myself is absolutely fine because I can have what I want and don't want to owe anyone anything. So yeah, where can I find this kind of date?
This is a case of its not what you said but how you said it. It came across to me, and it seems the recipient, as very aggressive. Easily could have said something like "hey I was planning on this being a laid back thing and we'd each cover our own tab"

Reminds of the Monty Python movie Life of Brian "We're supposed to haggle" scene.
Intel releases i7 processors like every year from 2012, and some of it are really cheap now, is better check up for generation current is 12th i think
Load More Replies...I've had the same thing happen when selling a used stroller. I barely used it because it was so heavy, dude agreed to buy it then asked for like half off, said he'd find it for cheaper elsewhere. My response was the same. Then he asked for freebies. I tossed in some pacifiers my kid had never used. Said he thought I had put toys up for free/cheap somewhere. Nope. I don't like to haggle, period.
Honestly not sure which one is in the wrong here(I don't know enough about computer prices) but I have run into plenty of unrealistic expectations from buyers and sellers. I like to collect instruments and the number of parents trying to sell their kids band instrument after the kid dropped it for a much as the music store is astounding. Just because the music shop will sell that used clarinet for $100 doesn't mean you can command the same price
also you realaly cant, im looking for a computer for myself, it actually costs like 2000 usd for a i7 with 2060
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."
How Not To Sell A Car…
Sure, heaven forbid someone ask about the history of the car they're trying to buy 🙄
No future investments needed (to the car) ** brakes down the next month
Load More Replies...Forget about the life story, it’s super weird that these two were messaging about buying/selling a car at one and five in the morning. I don’t even like getting texts from people that I like at that hour
I mean it's what you do when selling your old stuff, right? Give a bit of personal info on how come you've decided to sell it, etc ....
My mother-in-law sold a neighbor's son a car for $25, old junker but still ran. His mother called to make sure he wasn't getting cheated.
The answers, or even their reluctance to say, tell you something. While "Had it 6 months and it is a cow to drive" is not likely to be shared even if true, some answers might be encouraging. "Had it the entire life of the car but getting too old to fix it myself" would be reasonable and not off-putting. Yeah, people lie but if they are honest and there is a good reason for sale it can make the process easier.l

Load More Replies...Outside A Movie Theater In Oklahoma
I wish the film distributer would stop allowing this movie theatre to screen the movie. You can’t fast-forward a film. That’s idiotic. If anyone objects to the scene, then they just shouldn’t go see the movie. If I pay for a ticket and someone fast forwards a scene, I’d demand a refund. Takes you out of the movie experience.
If millions of a movie kisses between heterosexuals don't turn gay people straight, why do people think that a kiss or two between gay people will turn heterosexual people gay? Is it maybe because, like Nirvana says, everyone is gay?

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."

This sounds like some 16 year old girl with life skills or a clue that people don’t work for free. I once had a neighbor ask me to bake a bunch of loaves of banana bread since she liked mine so well. Reason? She wanted her daughter to have a hobby for the summer and sell them at a stand. Got to be freaking kidding me. She was miffed when I asked her to buy the supplies. She was bewildered. She thought I would do it since I liked her daughter. Yeah, you’re kid’s great but food ain’t free not even cheap.

That second comment sounds more like a wannabe influencer than a true Marine. I don't know any Marine who would say that.

Exactly! I seem to forget that I am a Veteran, until I look at my Driver's License (or when it's Veteran's Day) then remember I could have got a discount.
Load More Replies...WTF do they need to be idolized for something they chose willingly?
Every time I see something like this it makes my blood boil. Just because you are a veteran does not make you entitled to discounts. If one is offered, great. Accept it with gratitude. If you demand it, or say what is offered isn't good enough, you are a horrible person with an over inflated ego and I don't want your business
Kanye West At The Bape Store, 2005. He Tried All The Shoes And Didn’t Buy Any
In 2005 he wasn't quite a celebrity yet just a regular a%%hat.
Load More Replies...Kanye West is an absolute POS. This doesn't surprise me in the least.
This goes beyond trying on all the shoes. They likely closed a portion or all of the store for him to do it, AND they paid someone to assist him.
now i have one more reason to hate him other than for ruining taylor swift's vma speech. he's truly such a jerk...
He believe he is so important. In his head i'm sure he was thinking the girl who helped him find all those shoes felt *lucky* to spend time with him and "that's payment enough? I used to like kanye, but after he been showing his true colors, I'm not a fan of him anymore... Also WHY did he ask the poor girl to find all these shoes in his size for him to try if he didn't even buy any?? (It must have taken her 1h or more, and then no sale and she has to put all back again....) That's just mean, dude!
By her expression, she's probably already thinking about the mess he just made that she now has to clean up.
Load More Replies...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.

Hotel Keeps My Deposit Because I Left A Poor Review On Booking.com

I would do this: enter a good review first then when they paid me back or gave me the discount change it to a bad review or deleting the old and entering a new review

Load More Replies...That was the icing on the cake. Proves it was a 12 year old pushing his or her luck with customer service.
Load More Replies...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.
Email I Received From A Parent After Her Son Did Not Complete Two Assignments In The Apush Civil War Unit
i believe people should still be taught about slavery and s**t that existed. but i also believe not everything should be a racial subject, like it is now days. mind you, i am Mexican and have experienced my share of idiots, racism still exist's but not in the masses like people make it out to be. Not everything has to be a racial subject and people need to stop pulling the race card in general.
Load More Replies...If slavery was the only thing they studied in history, I'd be concerned. They should also be studying the history of Native Americans, the genocide of the Native American tribes, Indenture of Chinese immigrants, internment of Japanese-American citizens during WWII, etc.
I was going to say the same thing. The only way this email has credibility, to me, is if the kid has been taught about slavery to the exclusion of all other history.
Load More Replies...Tbh topic diversity in school needs improvement. I live in Germany and the only three history topic we ever covered were Nazis, French Revolution and a tiny bite of medieval times
In the us we learned up to the civil war. Covered slavery but no current stuff. I was educated in Florida in 80s and 90s. Southern education s*cks but I was in an area with lots of POC so we had no problem discussing slavery and what was done to the indigenous people of this country. But we didn't really cover anything WW1 or later. One teacher said Vietnam was too contentious and they weren't allowed to discuss it. I'm mostly self taught about history.
Load More Replies...Right? I can't make you do the assignment, but I will grade accordingly. Also, those who do not learn from the past, are destined to repeat it.
Load More Replies...Well, this is a timely post. A group of educators in Texas approached the board of education with a proposal. When teaching about slavery, they are proposing to call it "forced relocation". Yeah, you heard that right. If Texas does ever manage to secede from the union, they could re-name their new country "Dumbfuckistan".
American history without slavery and racism or native Americans is how you get semesters dedicated to johnny appleseed.
This is the ish that makes me mad about these people. You wanna know what age O started learning about slavery and racism, around 5 years old, that was the first time I got called a burnt piece of toast and had no idea what they meant, so when I asked my grandmother that's when I got the "talk." The "talk" is something that EVERY black kid gets and it usually starts around 5 years old (there's a really great hashtag on Twitter that basically had all black people share the first time they experienced racism and darn near all of us experienced a lot sooner than 3rd grade and our parents and grandparents had the wonderful pleasure (that's sarcasm) of explaining to us that from that point forward that's what we would have to deal with and why and everything else). So if black kids can learn as early as 5 years old, I'm pretty darn sure it's fine for all the other kids to learn it from 3rd grade on up.
A Business In Maine Had This In Their Window This Sunday

This is very American. And I still am not entirely sure what's going on, even after reading all the comments. Sometimes I think the poster don't realise that we're a lot of people not from the US on here...
Jup, took me some time to figure out, why this was considered racist. "Juneteenth" is a holiday in the US regarding the liberation of the enslaved people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juneteenth) and it seems the fried chicken and collard greens was a meal slaves "were given" the time to prepare (http://www.fredopie.com/food/odasalens.com/2009/08/fried-chicken-and-collard-greens.html)

I've seen these before. Why be so bloody helpless? Ask him/her politely to move it. If he/she refuses, call the flight attendant. Problem solved.
WTF is wrong with people? Just speak to the person. Sometimes they genuinely don't realise what they've done (which is thoughtless of course) and sometimes they kinda knew but are uncomfortable with being called out. Be polite and allow them to back down without losing face "I'm absolutely sure you didn't realise what you'd done but . . ." and you'll almost always get things sorted out. The aggressive person that wants to fight you over it is rare, no matter what the internet tries to tell you. But people would rather make a post about it, and get lots of outrage points, instead of sorting the problem out.

I still remember when I talked to the person in front of me on a flight at least fifteen years ago. I usually have to work on flights, and this was no exception: I had a paper and lecture notes to crank out on the cross-country flight. The person in front of me reclined their seat, which meant I couldn't open my laptop. I asked them if they'd mind not putting the seat back so I could use my computer and they... just said sure, put the seat up, and everything was fine. I thanked them again at the end of the flight. I think about that often, and am still grateful it didn't turn into a problem.

Dear Lord, how long does a short back and sides actually take? Either ask for the channel to be changed, or chat to the barber and ignore it, or effing put up with it for ten whole minutes.
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.

James Gunn hosted a party where he encouraged people to dress up as pedophiles and underage ‘victims’… children.
As long as they weren't really under aged, what does it matter?
Load More Replies...Because if he wasn't as rich and famous as he is people would have at least PRETENDED to be outraged
Load More Replies...I'm not saying Jared Leto is what my feel of him is in any way, but to me he looks like someone who would start a cult with sexual abuse and mass suicide in the end.
"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."
No Correlation Between Ice Cream And This
I don't care, Baskin Robbins needs to get their s**t together.
Yup. Congrats to whoever posted this on doing exactly what Baskin Robbins wants people to do when someone brings up their support of Russia’s invasion.
Load More Replies...Ukrainian men, women and children dying is a more urgent matter, than whether you eat ice cream with a fork or a spoon.
"it doesn't affect me so there's no correlation." Par for the course.
The correlation with giving your money and services to an aggressive regime isn't even subtle in this one. Also, "a 10?" I thought saying s**t like that was cringy back in middle school.
Idk, there's a "trend" with people doing this rn, I don't really understand it but whatever
Load More Replies...I'm stuck on the man who eats the ice cream with a fork. I've tried this one. Throws off the whole experience
How would Ukrainians be dying because an ice cream compnay haven't decided if they're going to continue selling in Russia?
Taking resources in of any kind out of a country puts pressure on the leadership to change their behavior. Making citizens unhappy gets them to do things like organize for change. There are also things like business and income taxes that directly financially support the government.

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!!!
Idk. I question this. I have a multiple pet household and this is exactly what the bag looks like when one of them decides to get into something.

Throwing this out there but they do make chalk sprays. Those come right off in water. Considering how small it is in the kid's hands can't imagine it's any kind of real spray paint at least.
Is this maybe a cultural thing? Seems to be a lot of comments and upvotes thinking this is ok. Growing up in Scotland, graffiti obviously happens, but regardless of what type of building it is or what is used, it's not considered an acceptable thing or anything that an adult should be encouraging
Tagging is the lowest. Graffiti art= no worries, looks great. But taggers should have their tags tattooed on their foreheads if they want to put them out there so badly. I worked so hard to pay for my house fence and I cried each time it got tagged. Hours spent cleaning and sanding it.
Yeah. The greatest "treatment" of a caught tagger I've ever witnessed was at Fusion Festival, Germany, in 2009. Biiiig festival with h u g e signs "Please please do NOT tag anything anywhere, all of the stuff is borrowed, we are only a small crew of volunteers. If tags appear we have to pay, this makes the festival next year more expensive or non-existent." One man tagged. Was caught. He was sprayed and tagged with his own cans until they were empty, bystanders hollering and clapping. I guess he didn't tag anytime soon afterwards. Modern tarring &feathering.
Load More Replies...Maybe this is something else entirely. Maybe satire or maybe there's a story to it? I just hate to think it's a grandma watching her grandson be a vandal
Isn’t this the kid adding to the anti -Russian invasion graffiti in Ukraine???
Might be spraying over some sort of offensive graffiti .. we don't know what's going on here
I Took A Family Member To The Icu For Substance-Related, Life-Threatening Issues. After Getting Additional Information From Me About That Family Member, The (Male) Nurse Got My Number As An Emergency Contact And Has Been Blowing Up My Phone All Day
Using your contact information that was given for health care purposes to contact you socially without your permission is 100% a fireable offense.
AS a male nurse, I find this appalling. Yes, he should be fired and reported to the state's Board of Nursing.

Then Why Did You Accept Their Facebook Friend Request In The First Place?
Maybe a disabled person feels safer with only other disable friends on social media, maybe a trans person feels safer with only trans friends. Maybe a woman feels safer with just other women as friends. That makes sense. But why make an effing song and dance about it? What is that supposed to achieve?
Still reeks of hatred. There are plenty of people that are friends with disabled people even if they aren't disabled. There are plenty of people who are friends with trans people even if they aren't trans. There is no need to limit yourself to only friends like yourself. Any woman who is only friends with other women is just giving in to her own prejudices.
Load More Replies...Just from the phrase "male species", it sounds like this person has been jilted by men in their life and is done with dealing with them. I've been there before, it sucks!
Okay, but if a man said negative things about the "female species", you know women would call him sexist. Why shouldn't this woman also be called sexist?
Load More Replies...Tell you what - I’m a woman but I think I’d do just that - remove myself in orderly fashion and never, ever come back.
So what? That doesn't mean hating every man out there. How do you think people would react if a man said that he encouraged women to de-friend him? Why should we treat this woman any differently?

Why would 24/7 help be vital if you want to live in Manhattan and have both parents working? Are they completely incapable of taking care of their child at any point after work?
I suspect they mean live-in. Usually that person has their own life, kind of like a roommate.
Load More Replies...Can someone please explain this to me? How are his problems with hiring staff linked to the story of the Manhattan family’s expenses? I must be missing something!
It's the contradiction between his attitude in the 2 posts. In the first he is suggesting that spending 46,500 a month in living costs is not extravagant for someone like him, but at the same time complaining that other people won't work for 14 dollers an hour
Load More Replies...My dad payed me minium wage to run the front end of his business. 20 yrs ago it was $6.75 an hour cause that's what his wife said I was worth. This was after I worked for free for a month and helped him setup his business. I Didn't stay long.
$14/hour times 8 hours is $112 a day, not $110. So you're advertising that you'll short your workers salaries or that you're innumerate.
It’s Already Hard To Find A Spot Without A Douchbag Taking Two
It's best not to continue the trend though, in some places traffic wardens will ticket you for it for a start! Best not risk a fine. Plus, when the other person leaves then the spaces are usable normally again. If you do it too they won't be and the problem just carries on.
Load More Replies...Happened to me once. The car in front and behind were way over the lines leaving a space between but over the marked parking spot line almost in the middle like in this picture. There was no where else to park so I parked there. When I got back to my car, both cars were gone and I had a ticket. lol
It just takes one car to be stupid and the whole parking is ruined. In this case not enough evidence which car started it.
I kinda look out or this kind of thing, and it's usually not this persons fault, someone else screwed up the works and this is all that was left.
Yeah not driver of white cars fault..... Maybe be little more observant before blasting someone like that??? Just saying.
The white car is almost touching the car in front of it. That strongly implies that the white car did this. You seem unusually defensive....

This is even more ridiculous than BP's suspending your account after 10 downvotes rule.
Glad you brought that up. I would comment further on it but I’ll probably get downvoted and suspended
Load More Replies...So what? It was OK to ask on @askmen, as they are not the majority (with only about 49 percent of the population), but it was NOT OK to ask on @askwomen, as they ARE the majority, with about 51 percent of the population? Or was it perfectly OK to exclude women, as MEN are People, but not OK to exclude MEN, as MEN are People.
It’s because the question was directed at straight women. “In a man”, and not “in a partner”.
Well. But the notion that one cannot ask a group of straight women their opinion on it's own, is offensive in itself.

Employer Denied Me One Recurring Day Off Per Week That Coincides With My Girlfriend’s One Recurring Day Off
This sort of depends on if they originally promised that day off and then changed their mind.
Exactly. If you were hired to work Sundays, can't really gripe about it after the fact
Load More Replies...And depends on how busy that day of the week is. Welcome to the real world, kid.
For some businesses, especially retail and restaurants, Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days of the week. I never had those days off unless specifically requested, and occasionally not even then
Load More Replies...Real world, most people have Sunday off. This means if you work in a business that has lots of employees and it is open on Sunday, lots of employees will be asking for Sunday to be with their families or partners.

What Is The Tipping Etiquette Anymore?!
Well, some people won’t tip if not told a sob story, but I would think it might discourage those who would tip without… (ugh why don’t we just pay fair and not tip?)
There was a pizza place I would call and the dude said the driver is good boy going to college and begged for a good tip. I understand I always tip but they already charged a hefty delivery fee when most places did it free.
Load More Replies...She wouldn't need many tips to make a collage. They're pretty cheap to make.
I'm sorry but I can't tip you because I am also putting my son through college so any discounts you can give me will be also appreciated =P
It's seems like tipping has kinda blown up. Ive seen tip jars at places where they weren't in the past. It's like everyone wants a tip now. I wish we could just pay folks a decent wage and forget all the tipping B.S.
