These aren’t life-ruining problems. But they’re still annoying enough to make your eye twitch. Crooked tiles, misaligned labels, pointlessly bad design. This is the stuff that tests your patience in the pettiest ways.
Here are the mildly infuriating pictures that made us sigh, squint, and quietly mutter, “why?”
1. “I drove 10 hours and spent $400 on a trip for a meet and greet with my favorite band. This is the picture I got”
2. “Bakery used the description for the cake a bit too literally..”
“I suppose my SIL should have gone into the bakery instead of ordering through their online function”
3. “Woman sitting next to me on the plane stole my complimentary chocolate while I was asleep…”
“It’s not a big deal, but sometimes I just hate people… BE FAIR.”
4. “How does not one get it?”
5. “wife bought socks, on the packaging seemed like full socks. Was not expecting to get half socks. wtf is this lol”
6. “going on a flight alone, got the middle seat because it’s the only one they had… never again”
“did i try pushing them away? absolutely. at least 5 times. did they end up leaning onto me again after a few minutes? yes!”
7. “My wife got this burger from McDonalds earlier…”
“She is pregnant and was not pleased.”
8. “I bought what I thought was a PAIR of gloves as indicated on the box. It’s just a single glove… scam?”
9. “Bought some spikes to prevent pigeons sitting on my balcony railing”
10. “Fiancee and I ordered some small ice cream bowls to hold fruit at the tables at our wedding—they arrived dirty, with food in them”
11. “the way my wife prepares stir-fried vegetables”
12. “Bank did me dirty today.”
“Went into a local bank to get some cash out. Just tried to pay for a pizza and saw this. Cmon man.”
13. “That’s a lot of packaging for 5 tiny allergy pills”
14. “Hitting the wrong nerves”
15. “Why is it like this?!”
16. “I had to say goodbye to my dog on Monday. They spelled his name wrong on his paw print. It’s supposed to be Griffin”
17. “62 socks without a match after laundry day.”
18. “So I disassembled my USB-C dongle, and look what’s been hiding.”
19. “I accidentally had dessert delivered to my ex-husband’s house.”
“I forgot to change the address on the app. And although he lives nearby, I can’t contact him to get back the box… because I have a restraining order against him.”
20. “This insane setup to keep the dogs out of the living room at night”
“It’s not even the fact that we have to do this much to keep the dogs out, it’s the fact I have to maneuver around it every time I need something from another room”
21. “I can guess why”
22. “It’s a public road with street parking and they were parked in front of my house so I parked in front of them…”
23. “I bought 340g of chocolates.”
“I don’t even want to know how much the cardboard weighs…”
24. “Parking in my apartment building costs $239/month. This is a space they offered me”
25. “Think I cleaned the windows a little too well…”
26. “I see this every day and it drives me mad.”
“The rest of the path is perfectly normal – but this one section is completely out of order, like someone did this and now it lives in my head rent free every day.”
27. “This bathroom sign somehow manages to be creepy”
28. “The bar behind my condo dumps their Cigarette Butts in the grass across the street from them”
“I’m guessing they don’t want to start a fire in the trash or something. They literally have a fire pit they could dump them in at the end of the night and clean up in the morning.”
29. “McDonald’s where I live punches out their restaurant number so we can’t review them”
30. “In December the people next door asked me if I could water their plant while they were away. I’ve now been watering this plant for 4+ months”
“After making it sound like they were going away for a week, they left and put this yellow sign up they’d be back on 4/30!
The craziest part is that they didn’t return yesterday so now who knows how long they’ll be gone.”
31. “Sign saying to help yourself… for a price”
32. “Randomly decided to check the expiration date of my mustard, went down a rabbit hole, every condiment in my refrigerator has expired.”
“Honestly, I’ve been using some of this stuff recently and I hadn’t tasted a difference. I even had something that expired in 2017. What’s the oldest condiment in your fridge?”
33. “I hate when this happens”
34. “I won a raffle at work today.”
“Today, my manager told me that I won a raffle from Women’s History Month that was held back in March.
The prize was supposed to be 1 of 9 books written or about influential women in history.
I received 2 jars of Gingerbread Apple Butter. They were both expired.
I live in a place where you must pay taxes on the value of any gifts received at work.”
35. “Came back to work after my days off, nobody knows what happened.”
“I just sent the other people that work here this picture with the caption: How?”
36. “I gave a new Elsa squishy to my daughter 10 minutes ago”
37. “Rock hit my brand new car windshield”
“This is the first brand new car I’ve ever owned, hasn’t even got 1,000 miles on it yet. I’m just unlucky. Could be worse. I’m just sad :(“
38. “Passed out at the mall on a Saturday afternoon”
39. “Stolen Vehicle recovered by police… returned to us full of thief’s personal belongings and drugs/paraphernalia”
40. “This bird has been defecating on my car non-stop for the past week. I just got the car cleaned and it came back.”
“I even bought a fake owl to scare it. It saw through my ruse and is mocking me.”
