As we’re almost at the end of the month, let’s take a sec to look back at what went down these past few weeks. Some of us might have had a pretty decent month, but for others, it’s been a total drag.
From dealing with annoying gym bros to encountering rude friends and every little thing in between, this month has been a hot mess of mildly infuriating things that left people feeling fed up.
But hey, even though all these mildly infuriating moments can make us wanna scream, it’s important to try and stay positive. By recognizing these annoyances, we can learn to appreciate the good stuff in life and take things one day at a time.
Here are some of the most mildly infuriating things that happened to people this month.
