If you think you had a rough month, wait until you see the fails these poor souls from Reddit’s “Mildly Infuriating” experienced. From everyday fails that could ruin a good day to those little annoyances that sneak up on you, these moments will make you feel grateful your month wasn’t this full of setbacks.
Here are this month’s finest fails that capture the art of mildly infuriating mishaps.
1. “Spent 2.5 hrs making a beautiful apple pie. This is what my husband and sons left me”
2. “People are finding mold in KSI’s new Lunchly product”
3. “Couldn’t you just have.. printed the hours.. on here”
4. “Woman kept covering my screen with her hair during a flight”
5. “Truck pretending to be an electric vehicle uses two charging plugs”
6. “Landlord hired a guy to power wash the stairs”
7. “This is my ‘pound’ of boneless wings order from tonight. Only short 11 of the 16 ounces.”
“Guess I’m making a snack to go along with it. $14.50 before tax and tip for 5.1 oz of chicken.”
8. “Yes. I have the middle seat and I have legs”
“I was eye rolled when I politely asked if the window seat passenger could move her backpack. I guess I should have left my legs at home.”
9. “Went to a beer festival with standardized cups, turns out the 250ml mark was only around 227ml.”
“Went to this beer festival with a lot of different local breweries back in December. And basically they were cheating everyone by 10%.
I’m not even sure if it was on purpose or just happen because they bought the cheapest beer cups they could find with their label printed on it… But they were cheating nonetheless.
Also I filled the cup slightly above the 250 mark just to be ‘fair’. But still only 227ml at the mark.”
10. “$400/nt Airbnb refuses to turn heat above 58 degrees”
11. “My wedding is in 2 days…. This is the text I wake up to from my mother.”
12. “Guy sitting next to me on the plane wants to switch seats (I was in a window seat). When I refused, he reached around my shoulder and shut the window”
“When I went to open it again he asked me to shut it because he ‘wanted to take a nap’.
I ignored him, so he asks a flight attendant to shut it for him. Absolute d-ck move.
He did end up sleeping, but I’m still pissed about it.”
13. “My brother’s 25y/o car was slapped with this while he was auditing a superyacht company”
“It didn’t match the aesthetic so they assumed he was a freeloader”
14. “One of the 8’s on this door number which I frequently deliver to is upside down.”
15. “In a book of ‘facts'”
16. “Surprised my girlfriend with baked goods and flowers before she went to work, and her co-workers ate them all”
“Unprompted, straight up just snagged them from her area and ate em, rude asf.”
17. “Boss wasn’t paying attention and sat on my desk while talking to a coworker…”
18. “Gone for two weeks. My husband piled his clothes by the washer instead of doing his own laundry”
19. “SIL asked me to bring a cake for dessert, someone else made crème brûlées so no one ate my cake”
“I didn’t want to spend $35 on ingredients and 2 hours but here we are. Crème brûlées were very nice however”
20. “Flunked my Uber inspection ’cause the Jiffy Lube dude can’t even draw a circle…”
21. “The design of this chocolate box was made to make you think there are more chocolates than there actually is.”
22. “‘Obstructed View’ at Ohio State University”
23. “a guy left this on the table of the restaurant i work in and left without paying”
24. “This ‘bonus free’ battery pack”
25. “Amazon driver wrote on my porch railing with a sharpie”
“I was not home but saw the Amazon driver looking around to confirm my house number from my Ring camera.
I live in a townhouse and the house numbers are only on our garage doors. My garage door happened to be up at the time of delivery.
Apparently once he confirmed my address (maybe with a neighbor or by looking at the order of homes next to mine), he took it upon himself to use a sharpie and write (vandalize?) my house number on my porch railing in permanent blue sharpie.
Come on, man.
Hopefully I can find a way to get it off.”
26. “Someone had attached a padlock on my bag resulting in me having to wrench the f-ck out of it mid-class.”
“I literally did nothing to anyone this entire month, I didn’t even speak to people, I ate my pizza in peace and I come back to this horrible solid metal contraption parasite latched onto my bag.”
27. “Did they mean the sticker or the metal?”
28. “Hired humans telling you to stop hiring humans”
29. “Stuck in the elevator on Monday morning”
30. “Dropped a glass. Instead of the glass breaking, it broke the f-ing sink.”
31. “This ballot question feels like it was designed to confuse everyone.”
32. “My stepmom ate my chocolate after telling me to keep it in the fridge instead of my room.”
“But hey, you can go buy yourself a new one!”
33. “Neighbors put up a camera pointing directly into my yard”
34. “Car designers….Stop putting shiny reflective surfaces in cars.”
35. “My cousin visiting from abroad slept in the living room”
36. “i put the popsicle stick in the wrong order”

“But to no avail it would seem.”
38. “Why cant companies make normal smelling deodorant for men wtf is cookies and leather?”
39. “My roommate stuck the key hook thingy on upside down.”
“I’m not sure he realized his mistake. The fact that it is still somewhat functional is even more of an annoyance to me for some reason.”
40. “I was psyched to get an exit row until I found out that means I have to awkwardly sit directly facing the flight attendant”
