It's often the little things that tip us over the edge. Back pain remedy ending up on the bottom shelf. Bananas being both overripe and underripe... Whether the universe has conspired against someone or they simply have to deal with other people's stupidity, it only takes so much to ruin a perfectly fine day.
Disappointed and angry, people turn to the Internet. Here, they're posting photos of the things that drive them crazy, hoping that someone will share their pain. And who are we to let them down? Bored Panda has put together a list of pics to prove just how annoying everyday situations can get, so continue scrolling and upvote your (least) favorite entries.

Microsoft word often causes me to push slowly away from the desk and leave the office for a few minutes until my fury subsides
That is very admirable. I have to take both my dogs out for a furious walk and hope that I'll feel more sane by the time I get back. There are times when I truly loathe Microsoft - especially their bloody updates!!! Deep breath...

Microsoft is possibly the worst company in the universe! I despise Office 365, but we have to use it and...OMG! Have you ever tried to insert even a tiny graphic into a Word document? Hair pulling, screaming and nastiness follows. An hour spent working in 365 is equal to a lifetime of frustration.
Just this AM, my boss walked past my office just as I was going: "OH FOR PHUCKS SAKE, undo!!!!"

While this is awful....human remains aren't allowed in personal checked luggage. Remains need to be carried on the plane and declared at security checkpoints. I had to look all this up when checking the legality of transporting some of my grandfather's ashes from the U.S. to Ireland. So while it's awful this happened to him, TSA doesn't expect ashes in checked baggage.
That should be reported. I used to work for TSA and we were absolutely forbidden to open urns containing the remains of someone's loved one. They could be x-rayed but NEVER opened.
Did they actually know what they were looking at. I think I would label this very clearly and probably keep it in carry-on rather than packing it with my laundry.
I wouldn't have left them in the luggage..I would have taken them as a carryon.
This is, of course, very unfortunate, but maybe it wasn't the best idea to pack something so valuable in checked baggage (if it is even allowed).
Which, apparently, it is not, according to Lizz Lor.

To be fair, the Romans were just as guilty of graffiti as they are today. You should see Pompeii.

$275 Required Spanish Textbook Is Loose Leaf Paper Wrapped In Cellophane
Thats bad. Worst I've had was a professor who copied his own notes (about 100 pages) on the copy machine, cellophaned them & made us buy them for $45 a pop. Creep was making $225 a ream (minus ink, I suppose)
I had one of those Prof. One of my friends was flipping through it one day while we were all over at a friends house. He felt it was a excerpt of different things that happened in American history but with what appeared to him as racist overtones. I brought it up with my class advisor, and 2 weeks later or so, the Prof told us to return the books for a refund and that we wouldn't be using them.

That's shrewd, I wish we could do this too. This is a true case of male privilege, lol.

And if you leave at 12.00 without even having seen anyone you get a bill for "not showing up" On the other hand if you go out to investigate what's happening a nurse starts yelling at you to stay in that room because you're interfering with the routine and that's why it's no wonder they are running behind.
And if you happened to show up at 8:21 you'll be marked as late, and get bill for "not showing up".
Load More Replies...I once had an eye specialist (the only one for my particular issue in the entire state) who scheduled all appointments for the entire day at 9AM, but they didn't tell you that when you make the appointment. You show up at 9AM to a tiny, overcrowded waiting room and wait the entire day as patients slowly disappear one-by-one. I found out about two hours in while chatting with a group of elderly individuals that this is how this doctor does things and they don't mind because they're all retired and get to hang out for the day. I didn't get seen until 2PM. I was livid.
I've got friends in just about every state, and if I personally don't, I've got a network of friends with the same neuro condition that screws with your eyes, so we all have opthomalogists or neuro-opths, which of course is more difficult to find. I can see if anyone has one close, but into another state if you'd like. I'm personally waiting to see an opthomalogist because the office I go to made me see an optometrist first.

I know how this can be frustrating, but I work in a doctors' office and the providers always run behind--not because they're fooling around or are neglectful, in fact, the opposite! They squeeze in people who complain of being sick, never rush their appointments, and go over appointment times when the situation requires it. I know it sucks to wait and gets annoying, but I promise that not all doctors make you wait to make money off of you. In fact, sometimes it's due to an emergency. Once, I had a very elderly patient who stopped breathing and we had to call emergency services to rush him to the hospital. I went into the next patient's examine room and apologized for the delay and explained that we had an emergency, and she just said, "well what about me? how much longer do I have to wait? My jaw hurts." SIGH. So I just wanted to say I know it's not great to make patients wait, but thank you to those patients who are on time and who are understand why we cant always be on time ):
l care for my brother who has an intellectual disability..he gets really irritated when he has had to wait for sometime AFTER the due appointment..l try to tell him patience please, but he doesn't do 'patience very well when it's eating into his routine time of doing something else he prefers..now l do understand why a/our Dr could be running late..hell, they have to squeeze in somewhere their lunch (more often eaten at their desk) a loo break or 3 and so forth, but alas many people forget their doctors are human beings as well..me, if he's running behind schedule then I'm fine..l usually bring some crocheting with me to keep me occupied waiting, but alas, people with disabilities don't always have that concept of patience and waiting..

just don't go around the middle of the day on a school day, once went to see fault in our stars with a couple friends on a teachers' only day, only other people there were a bunch of old people, one came up to us afterwards and complained that we were giggling throughout the movie and ruining it for them.....we were basically the target age group laughing at moments that were supposed to be laughed at like wtf were you expecting?

They may not have intentionally cut in line, and their plates are no indication they are from the immediate area. A couple of times I was driving in another part of the state, saw this big long line forming along the shoulder and wondering what the heck that was about. Get three miles down the road, over a hill and around a bend and there was the exit. All those people were waiting to get off there. The next exit was 30 miles away. I had no choice but to pull in along the left side of the ramp. The ramp was two lanes and these fools were all in the right lane -- and they were still flipping the bird, yelling and screaming, trying to cut me off. Grrr...
I had to do this once (I felt bad about it), it was my first time driving in a certain city, no idea where I was going and by the time I saw the signs for the exit it was too late. This was before gps and I only had turn by turn written instructions, I couldn't afford to miss it because then I would have been completely lost.
Unfortunately, I've done this too while driving in a large unfamiliar city. Didn't realize my turn until it was all of a sudden there.

I read these. At the very least, I scan them and make sure there are no unexpected or unusual sections. (I'm getting quick at scanning them because I've read enough by now to know the usual sections...)

(That scam purple monkey "assistant" that was going around in like 1993 when I was 10, Facebook's Wall add-on from early Facebook days, and a data warehousing solution at my job.)
And this is why when a company was trying to insist that I owed them money for all the months after I'd stopped using their service, because I'd "signed an agreement that said I couldn't quit without formally applying to quit and paying a fee", I knew it was garbage. I would not have signed that.

Why Can't They Design Their Cables Better?
A company called Anker makes 100% better ones, and Apple gets less of that money.
So Apple should do like printers manufacturers that don’t include USB cables, let you choose your own, and waste less resources :-)
Load More Replies...I never broke the cable in this way but I have just bought a cable bite, just because they are so cute https://www.amazon.it/Kobwa-Protector-Accessory-avvolgicavo-organizzatore/dp/B07FBKJJ14/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1534503788&sr=8-2&keywords=cable+bite
Great idea - they're really cute. Will be buying a couple. Thanks.

They bend even if you do not pull them, that is the main problem.

Oh, I Have Too Many E-Mails In My Inbox? Why Don't You Send Me An E-Mail About It Everyday
People getting annoyed by this p**s me off. JUST CLEAN YOUR DAMN INBOX AND IT'LL SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!! You have had at least 17 days to learn how to create a PST or delete unneeded emails. You know what happens when your mailbox fills up? everyone else who trys to contact you will get an email saying your mailbox is full.
Solution: gmail. I have a gmail account and there honestly seems to be no bottom to that bucket.
The reminders are text messages only and take almost no space .. storage is usually full because of large attachments in e-mails.
I Counted 29 Items. I Had One
Usually if people see u have one item they let you go first. At least here in So Cal we do.
Load More Replies...I was in a shop once and the person in front of me had about 20 items in their basket the teller looked at the basket, looked at them and said... "am I supposed to guess which ten items you want?"
Exactly, he should be able, maybe even obligated, to send him/her to a regular lane
Load More Replies...@PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING cashiers should be able to or should ask them to leave. .... PLEASE don't blame cashier. When I worked in grocery store we had 6 items of fewer lane that had three register in one full lane size so no belt. However people with full cart of groceries will come there. At first I used to ask them to go to other lane but there are several scenarios I stopped doing it. (*Scenario 1*) Customer will make fuss...manager comes over and make you do the transaction anyways. Now you look like you some lazy a**e that doesn’t want to do the job. Plus comments like “see that’s wasn’t that hard” kind of comments from that customer. (*Scenario 2*) I ask a customer to go to regular lane and point out its 6 or fewer lane and there are other customers with 6 or fewer items behind them. When next customer to the offending customer chimes in “oh its ok I don’t mind.” Now we cashiers look at the line getting longer and we don’t want scenario (*1*) to happen so we just do it. (*Scena
PART 2: (*Scenario 3*) Manager just walks a customer with full cart of groceries to express lane. Well if I am working retail and taking c**p for lowest wages possible that means I want this job and I will just do as told. (*Scenario 4*) Cahiers are instructed to take full cart of groceries if they are free. Yes managers don’t take in account cashiers can be free at 11:29:32 AM but there might be a customer who will need express lane at 11:29:56 AM. All they see is you were free you take customer. And cashiers like me will do it hoping they will get $0.05 raise next year. So please you want to say something say it to offending customer or offending manager. Don’t put it on cashiers. Most of the time cahiers just do what they are told to do. Even cashier says something it will just get neglected by others so why bother cashiers get lot of c**p already they don’t need more. Retail is not easy thing … you are doomed if you do, doomed if you don’t.
Load More Replies...I've seen cashier's refuse and make the person take the items off. It is still quicker for the people behind if they have to remove them. On the other hand I'm disabled and can't manage a basket easily but was in a hurry so tried to manage and was told that disabled people can use the 'basket' only aisle with a trolley as long as they only have 10 items or less.
So this looks like an HEB (a Texas grocery store), and they will often have a manager or other employee monitoring the checkout lanes and directing customers to specific lanes for efficiency. A couple of times, I've had a manager direct me to an express lane even though I had more than 15 items (but it wasn't a whole cartload, mind). I usually say something like, "I know I have more than 15 items, and I don't mind waiting in the regular line," to which I get the response, "no, please, go ahead and move here. I'll bring your cart for you." They're pretty insistent. The last time this happened to me, I had probably 20ish items, and a lady with like 5 things got behind me (I like to think her name is Barbara or something). Anyway, she started pitching a fit to me, and I tried to make it clear that I did not make this decision, and if she had been there before my things had started being scanned, I would've gladly let her go before me. I helped the bagger and did everything as quickly as I could, trying to be considerate of her time. Nevertheless, this interaction ended with me thanking her for her patience (which she didn't actually have), and her giving me an eye roll. My point is, you don't know that it's really their fault or if the manager of the store put them there to alleviate stress on other lines.
I asked a friend who worked at a Walmart, as we had a woman with 30+ items jump in front of us at the express lane once and the cashier said nothing, why the cashier didn't redirect the woman. She said they're not allowed to by Walmart polices. Don't know why they have express lanes then...
I will say at Publix, if the cashier in these lanes aren't checking out a customer, they will pull a person over that's waiting for the regular checkout so customers do not get backed up. But when they do that and someone comes behind me with only a few items..I let them cut ahead of me.
I hate it when they open a new lane and say "I can help the next customer." It's *always* the people at the back of the line who rush over.

As An Usher, People Who Do This
Jeez... I've spilled a litle popcorn before... and I'm not gonna crawl around on the ground picking it up... but the straws and napkins and other trash? Hell no. I would never leave stuff like that behind. Fking slobs you have there.
I worked in a cinema and this is nothing compared to what we see on a daily basis. People dump their popcorn everywhere like I mean some dude once tipped a large popcorn upside down on a seat. We once found a used baby diaper, melted ice-cream on the floor, and lollies stuck to seats. The only good thing that came out of it is that we occasionally find money. one of my co-workers once found a $50 note!
I think the price of tickets and concessions are so high that people feel the need to get their money's worth other ways. "$10 for $1 worth of popcorn? Guess I'll get $9 worth of vacuuming instead."
That's why I loudly tell my kids to pick up their trash at the theater. So other slobs will get it.
I think most the time it's an accident... Pretty easy to knock over popcorn in a dark theatre
I was an usher in 1980. We used to show midnight movies Friday and Saturday. Try cleaning up after Rocky Horror
When You Buy The Old Neighborhood Drug House
We rented a house for a year that had a drug house across the street. All night, people would pull up, chat with the 20-something guy who lived there, "shake hands" then leave. When we moved, the guy who bought the house was a cop. We told him about the drug house and he told us he wasn't worried about it. The next time we spoke to him he told us that he drove through the neighborhood in his cop car in uniform and stopped in front of the house. 20-something drug dealer guy says, "Is something wrong, Officer?" Cop says, "No, I just bought the house across the street and was showing it to my partner." Problem solved.
I once lived in a duplex, where I know the guys next door were drug dealers. People would come to our door by mistake. One of the guys had an unusual name, and they kept mispronouncing it. I was a Security Officer and I freaked out a lot of people by coming to the door in my uniform. Freaking hilarious!
So, We (me, hubbie AND kiddos moved in to our dreamhouse, not knowing it was a brothel just before!!! All sorts of men, many men, knocked on our door EVERY Day! We sold the House after 2 years!
Bought a “den of iniquity “ , had to put up a sign to keep clients from my door.
In our case, the meth dealer lived next door for a year (even after repeated calls to the police) and the tweakers would knock on MY door looking for the dealer!!
I took over a sluts apartment once in my youth -as it soon showed and I had to do a simular thing to stop the all-around-the-clock door knockers.

Not neccessarily. It can be just a dry or sensitive skin issue. Happens to me every time I do the dishes with regular detergents. (Yeah, I'm using special ones for sensitive skin in my home). Also, papercuts are more likely to happen on your fingertips, not specifically at the joints, and always looking kinda same.

My View Of Metallica From The Handicapped Section At Commonwealth Stadium In Edmonton. 7 Hour Drive For This

Load More Replies...To be honest, the stadium is the one to blame and not the person in front of you. If everybody stands up you have to do it as well otherwise, you won't see anything. The handicapped section should be in front of everybody else. This is just a huge lack of respect from the stadium and unacceptable.

Take your time. Revel in the car wash. My big pet peeve is when people see me walking to my car in the parking lot with 4 kids and proceeds to wait and block the lane while I get my groceries and kids loaded up. After we get all loaded up I turn the car on put it in reverse, stop, realize I "forgot" something, unload everyone and walk back towards the store.

No one has the right to do that. It's a public beach.
Load More Replies...Yellow is probably a hard color to see on sand. But it's a public place. she has all the right to stand there. People could have asked her to move, or if you have a good photographer they could easily remove her from the picture. The woman probably didn't even notice the photographer and was just enjoying the wedding, that takes place in a public place, where there is you know, public.
Public beach, right? You have the right to hope for courtesy, but it is not your due on a public beach.
If this is not a private beach, and they had no special permit to restrict access to it, then putting up yellow police tape is not only an a*****e move, but probably illegal, and this woman did nothing wrong. She probably was pissed off by their action and this was her way of showing them the finger.
That's the risk you take when you're planning a beach wedding. It could have been worse, she could have brought her entire family.
Well the wedding is on the beach and so it is to be expected that strangers will watch the . If you don't want strangers watching, get married in a building.
It's a d**k move to stand right behind the couple when you KNOW people will be taking pictures of them mainly. She could've just stood at the side.

I Hate UPS Just A Little Bit More Every Day
But he somehow knows which box to check on the note he left!
Load More Replies...I've had that happen to me, with a very important time-sensitive package. I'm not hard of hearing, and I work from home, on the first floor. And, my car was home. They still left a note instead of knocking or ringing the doorbell.
Most of the time it's a luxury if they even knock. They never wait until anyone answers the door when they do. They literally knock and run.
I used to be a delivery driver, frightened a few customers by following their requests to "Knock loudly" or "Shout". At least they heard me and got their stuff, even if they had to change their underwear. 3 slow thunderous knocks on a hollow door might not have been the best response
I used to have a postie with a very assertive knock - the first couple of times, I thought it was the police or something. I still appreciated getting my parcel instead of a card saying "sorry you were out" when I wasn't.
Load More Replies...We used to have a lovely UPS guy, he always brought our stock right into the shop, except for one time when he stood on the doormat and said 'I've just delivered to a farm, my boots are all muddy' so we could come and get the box from him.

I live in an apartment complex with a few unsavory tenants yet the FED X people will drop the package off without knocking and then they run off. Caught one the other night, happen to see her throw the package and turn and run, I yelled 'I see you' she just raised her hand and gave me the finger as she ran. Talked to the Company Headquarters and they said they would talk with the office in my area. Nothing has changed! Edz
