Life is full of minor frustrations . At one time, we had to deal with these alone. But now, thanks to the internet and social media, we can broadcast these little annoyances to the world.
If you’re having a rough day, it might seem a little brighter after going through this list.
“I just want to go to the bathroom, but this TikTok trend.”
When washrooms are closed because people have destroyed them in the quest for viral fame from strangers, it really starts to feel more and more like we’re living in a dystopia.
“I am a dishwasher and this is how the bakers cut the brownies and leave the rest.”
This is unfathomable to me. The edge and corner pieces are the best part of the brownie. If anything, the bakers should have taken those pieces and left the middle.
“Someone cut and stole my catalytic converter last night…”
As someone who lives in an area that can get a bit sketchy at night, it’s safe to say that I’m terrified of this happening to my car. Catalytic converters ain’t cheap.
“My wife kept threatening to throw away my favorite pair of yard work shorts. Today I found them like this.”
RIP to this guy’s shorts. It’s especially cruel that his wife cut a big hole in them so they can never be worn again.
“Someone breaks into my car last night. I have nothing to steal except a USB cable. Someone stole my USB cable. Yeah.”
Someone broke into my car awhile back. They didn’t break any windows, thankfully, but they did pilfer a few USB cables and maps.
“The psycho who did this in my art class.”
This was always a fun prank to play back in middle school, but it’s seriously annoying to deal with. While you can still type by touch, looking at the new keyboard layout will break your brain.
“Bread from Whole Foods… more like Hole Foods.”
There’s nothing like cutting into a big loaf of freshly baked bread, only to discover that it’s more hole than bread. I guess that keeps the calorie count down at the very least.
“My loom before and after the art teacher ‘helped’ me.”
If this is what your art teacher does to your art project, it’s a safe bet that they should maybe consider being a different type of teacher, because this just isn’t working for them.
“After 17 years of my life I finally notice this in my house.”
This would drive me absolutely bonkers. It’s totally harmless and would be a big hassle to fix, so it’s best to put it out of your mind…but man, how can you put something this annoying out of your mind?
“Loaned my wife’s brother my truck so he could move. This is what greeted me when I got it back.”
OP really ought to take a page out of the rental car handbook and fill the tank up, charging their brother-in-law an exorbitant rate to do so.
“This sticker came off with no glue on it. It all remained on the laptop.”
Those laptop stickers are some of the most frustrating stickers known to humanity. They’re ugly, but they’re also extremely difficult to take off in a clean way.
“Being a school janitor sucks.”
Yes, because this custodian will have to deal with arguably the least respectful demographic of all time: the high schooler. At least these kids are only a few years away from being college students, who are slightly more respectful to the cleaning staff.
“This passenger.”
I’m really confused as to why anyone would do this in the first place. There’s such a thing as hair ties, or even leaving it behind your head on the seat. They knew that there were people in the seats behind them, right?
“My partner borrowed my car for a few days, and gave it back like this…”
I’m not going to act like my car is the cleanest place in the world, but this is taking things to another level entirely.
“How my 22 year old sister opens ice cream packets.”
This is undeniable proof that some people out there just want to watch the world burn. It’s not like opening a box is even that hard.
This is why living with your adult siblings is hard.
“I specifically asked for no sauce.”
Sauce is good, but in my opinion, a little often goes a long way. Considering this has been sitting in a takeout container, that means the sauce has just been percolating its way through the whole dish.
RELATED STORIES
“The owner of this truck called the cops cause she could not get into her car.”
This person really had some nerve, huh. Parking over the line, then complaining that they couldn’t get into her front seat? I hope the police gave her a ticket instead of the car that parked normally.
“I paid 10 dollars in delivery fee and none of it is for the driver? So what’s the fee for then?”
It is a bit silly for a pizza place to take this stance, but it’s still no reason not to tip the driver generously.
“This hall pass that attempts to make you feel guilty for normal bodily functions.”
This teacher had better put on some amazing lessons to display this level of arrogance towards kids who have to use the washroom.
“Some non-municipal company started digging up me and my neighbours lawn with no disclosure to put some internet service in, broke all the sprinkler systems…”
There’s no better sound to wake up to than a private company laying waste to your yard for no reason. This is just the perfect way to start your day.
Not.
“The nature of my paper straw after just *stirring* my drink.”
Look, I’m all for limiting the amount of single-use plastic we have in the world. But we probably should’ve stopped to think about paper straws a bit more. Because this is kind of ridiculous.
“My work put in a new concrete pathway.”
I guess measuring where the end of the path would be was too much trouble. Or else it might’ve actually lines up properly. When in doubt, just cut the curb wherever you want, apparently.
“A caretaker stole my granpa’s old Rolex before he died. I was supposed to have it…”
There are three ways to obtain a Rolex: have a bunch of money and buy one, inherit one from someone who had one, or steal one. Obviously, this caretaker went for the least honorable option.
“Pulled the charger out too fast.”
This looks like something out of my worst nightmare. Hasn’t happened to me so far, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still happen sometime in the future!
“It’s always the one you need that is missing…”
See, this is why I hate trying to assemble or fix things. The one thing you need the most is the one that someone’s misplaced, leaving you stuck until you can find it. Or buy a new one.
“I’m already here, why can’t you just tell me what your hours are?”
There’s nothing I hate more than these codes. My default camera app won’t recognize them, so I always have to hunt around for an app that can properly decode them.
“Ordered a tool from Amazon. They sent me a bag with nothing in it. Wish I could make this up.”
This person is burying the lede here: they may not have gotten a tool, but they did get a crisp, pristine, unused Amazon envelope.
“Clueless idiots who walk down the MIDDLE of the road to their car. This has gone on for over a minute.”
A minute doesn’t seem like a long time, and it really isn’t. But it feels like eons when you’re in this situation.
“I bit into my muffin and it was hollow.”
Big Muffin is trying to sell us the lie of all muffins being rich and full. It’s only when you bite into one that the horrifying, hollow truth is revealed. Maybe this person should’ve gotten a danish instead.
“Trying to open the cream this morning…”
The worst thing about milk and cream cartons is that you can never win. You either get one with a plastic spout where you risk breaking the seal without pulling it off, or you have one with a corner spout that never stays open the way you want it to.
