Mildly infuriating pictures are a special kind of pain. They won’t ruin your day, but they will make your brain itch just a little. Think misaligned tiles, almost-perfect patterns, and everyday fails that feel like personal attacks.
These mildly infuriating photos are here to bother you. Just enough to notice, not enough to recover. Enjoy the low-stakes suffering.

3. “Father-in-law decided to ‘test’ all my fire extinguishers. Now all need to be replaced.”
“In-laws were watching the kids at my house while wife and I were out.
Father-in-law (who’s notorious for messing with other people’s stuff) decides to ‘test’ all our fire extinguishers to ‘make sure they work.’
Big one in the garage plus kitchen, upstairs, and wife’s car. Now I have to go replace all 4.”

14. “Missed a dark blue crayon, it went into the dryer with a full load of clothes”
“There was a set of diner crayons hidden in a pocket I missed while prepping laundry. I found three of the crayons before they went from the washer to the dryer.

Almost every time I’m here, there’s a poor lady bug or two wedged in the holes. There’s no way to get them out without damaging their wings, but it doesn’t really matter because they’re always dead by the time I take them out. Frustrated for them.”
