Sometimes in life the little things just get to you. Whether it’s an inconvenience, an inconsiderate action, or an inconceivable moment of stupidity, sometimes the straw that breaks the camel’s back drives you so crazy all you can do is laugh.
Here are 15 frustrating little things that make us laugh — even if it’s just because they didn’t happen to us.
A globe designed by Thanos.
This Reddit user explained that their mom attempted to “clean” their globe and accidentally wiped off a good chunk of the earth. At least their mom has a career as a supervillain ahead of them!
This live-action ‘Ratatouille.’
Nothing like getting ready to eat some leftovers after a long day at work only to find that your food has been claimed by a rodent first. If it wasn’t spreading infectious disease all over your noodles, you might even think this little guy is cute.
This misleading fruit tray.
You guessed it — the two columns of strawberries in the middle were the two that were covered up by cardboard in this fruit’s packaging. You almost have to hand it to this company — they were being berry sneaky.
This job posting that won’t touch your student loans.
Nothing like a job expecting you to have mastered a subject only willing to pay you minimum wage. It doesn’t take any advanced degrees to know that this is not a very smart deal.
RELATED STORIES
This substitution that won’t make your breakfast any better.
This Reddit user shared a Wal-Mart order where their shopper had substituted a box of Froot Loops for two shakers of parmesan cheese. I like cheese, but I don’t know if I’d eat a bowl of it for breakfast.
Who am I kidding? I definitely would.
This in-store markup.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’d rather just buy a product in stores and have it in my hands immediately — but not when in-store the item costs almost $70 more for absolutely no reason. Okay, fine, twist my arm, I’ll make another Amazon order.
This hold time.
Anyone who’s ever tried to do something as simple as cancel an airline ticket is probably familiar with this kind of waiting game. They probably assume you might just eat the cost of the ticket if it means you can get off the damn phone.
This single potato packaging.
I don’t think I’ve ever bought a potato and thought to myself, you know what? I wish this was shrink-wrapped for absolutely no reason. Who is this supposed to appeal to? And how do you get it off?
This precarious dish placement.
This Reddit user shared that their wife leaves all food trays like this, despite the fact that they have kids and a dog who might just end up with a face full of whatever’s been cooking that day.
This is why I love living alone.
This one-star review.
Clara decided to give this restaurant one star even though she’d never been there, which is pretty frustrating, but at least she included a nice picture of herself along with it. Someone come get your grandma, she’s discovered Google reviews!
This wasted produce.
This Reddit user shared that their roommate tossed all this perfectly good food of theirs into the garbage just to make more room in the fridge for their salad mixes. I’d be sending them the bill tout suite.
This impossible puzzle for toddlers.
If you’re like me, you just spent ages trying to figure out what on this page starts with R. According to the book, the answer is “rowboat,” but if you’re still like me, I bet that answer just made you angrier.
This flying foot.
Ahh, nothing like someone’s bare, disgusting foot creeping up next to you on a plane for you to really be able to sit back and experience the magic of air travel. At least the kid doesn’t seem too bothered.
This opportunity to carbo-load.
This Reddit user shared they were accidentally delivered 270 rolls of bread instead of what they ordered. While this might seem like a dream come true for lots of bread lovers, I think it’s a race against time there’s no way to win.
The way this driveway was salted.
Of course, it’s not possible to get a perfectly salted driveway without using some sort of sprayer, but this looks more like an art project than a way to keep people from slipping and sliding around.
