January 2025 may be in the books, but the mildly infuriating moments it delivered are still fresh in our minds—crooked tiles, absurd packaging, parking fails, and all the everyday annoyances that r/mildlyinfuriating thrives on. If the new year was supposed to bring a fresh start, someone forgot to tell the universe.
