As unpleasant as it can be at times, anger is a very human emotion that we’ve been talking about for a very long time. The Iliad famously opens with “Rage—Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles" for good reason, but it can be interesting to see exactly what causes contemporary humans to feel it.

The laconically named “Rage” internet group is dedicated to just that, images that will make most people angry, showcasing inequality, entitled behavior or worse. So, armed with that knowledge, brace yourself as you scroll through, upvote the most relatable examples and be sure to share your thoughts in comments down below.

    This Is My Daughter's Bathroom Pass. The Students Can Use The Bathroom (During Class) 5 Times During The 9 Weeks. After The 5th Time, The Student Gets Detention

    HMS bathroom pass with multiple dates, times, and teacher signatures creating a confusing and rage-inducing image

    So, my daughter is 12 and is in middle school. Today she came home and told me that she started her period and bled through her pants. When I asked why she didn't go to the bathroom, she said she already used her five time limit for the nine weeks. I asked what happens after she used up the five times, she said that she would get detention. She said she asked the teacher but the teacher told her no unless she wanted to explain why she needed to go. IMO, a 12 year old girl shouldn't have to stand up in front of her class and tell everyone she's on her period. She was pretty upset and apologized, I'm more upset the school would allow this. There is nothing in the school policy about this five time bathroom limit, the kids only have 3 minutes in between classes, she's not allowed to go during lunch, and if she gets too many detentions she's off her softball team! When did schools agree that going to the bathroom is a privilege and not a right?!

    Both my kids from the first time we took them to a movie at the cinema, they were told that they needed to take their rubbish with them and place it in the bin on the way out. They have never complained about it, in fact they actually point out quietly to me when we're leaving the other lazy/disrespectful people who've made a mess and left it there.

    In my state, we have the handheld devices law, which makes it illegal to hold your phone to text or talk or view while you are on the road. Using a hands-free holder, like this woman is using, is fine, and yeah it is weird to see but it's fine. You can get a ticket if you cause an accident by not keeping your eyes on the road though.

    I wouldn't call it professional homeless, you don't know how long they've been there, and what else they do to find shelter, money, work. If it's that they are relaxing instead of begging, you would complain about begging, I'll bet. One thing I am sure about: majority of homeless people do not panhandle. Many panhandlers are not homeless but do claim to be to solicit maximum sympathy. And they gotta wear old clothes, because being homeless means you have to appear scruffy (?). It s ucks all around to be homeless because people judge you. It's not fun to panhandle either but you never know the person's experience, so either give them money or don't. Don't assume you know about them
