Our shortcomings don't define us. It's how we react to them that shapes us both in our own and other people's eyes. However, as we can see from the subreddit 'Mildly Infuriating', not everyone is willing to understand or capable of understanding that.
As you might remember from our earlier publications such as this one, this online community with 4.4 million members has plenty of content to send your blood into a simmer in a matter of seconds, but there's a special category of it that we at Bored Panda think deserves an article of its own—folks who don't accept they're in the wrong.
Whether it's someone trying to scam another person off a few bucks or just embracing their fragile ego, continue scrolling to check out the characters who earned themselves the label of 'mildly infuriating'.

How Not To Purchase A Computer From Someone...
Reminds of the Monty Python movie Life of Brian "We're supposed to haggle" scene.
To learn more about how to stay off such lists and what to do in order to stay grounded, we contacted Dr. Mike Brooks, a licensed psychologist based in Austin, Texas as well as F. Diane Barth, LCSW, who is a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City.
"A purpose in life is to learn, grow, and improve. We cannot do this unless we first recognize and admit our mistakes," Dr. Brooks, the author of 'Tech Generation: Raising Balanced Kids in a Hyper-Connected World,' told Bored Panda.
"We must remind ourselves that to 'err is human,' and we are fulfilling a purpose in life every time we admit our mistakes. Thus, from this perspective, mistakes are opportunities for growth that allow us to fulfill life's purpose. Moreover, a natural byproduct of growth and improvement is greater levels of happiness."

Outside A Movie Theater In Oklahoma
I wish the film distributer would stop allowing this movie theatre to screen the movie. You can’t fast-forward a film. That’s idiotic. If anyone objects to the scene, then they just shouldn’t go see the movie. If I pay for a ticket and someone fast forwards a scene, I’d demand a refund. Takes you out of the movie experience.
If millions of a movie kisses between heterosexuals don't turn gay people straight, why do people think that a kiss or two between gay people will turn heterosexual people gay? Is it maybe because, like Nirvana says, everyone is gay?
People can downvote you all they like, but you're 100% right.
Load More Replies...America, where pitiful fundamentalist ban a same-sex kiss yet scream and yell if you mention banning assault rifles because it’s their God given right to own one.
Edit… Attention homophobes: The management of this theatre discovered, after allowing you to purchase tickets, that your patronage is no longer welcome. We do all we can to be kind and understanding but your ignorance and/or discrimination is inexcusable. We do not and will not apologize for being inclusive. Love is love
David Bowie did that way back in 1972! There's a staaar maaaan! Waiting in the sky! He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'll blow our minds!
Load More Replies...Oh no!! Two men being loving to each other!! Hide the children's eyes and fast forward to the bits where they try and hurt each other. It's how Jesus would have wanted it.
I’m sure if instead of kissing, those characters had used big giant space guns to blow up something or someone there would’ve been no problem.
As Zardos preaches love is wrong and the gun is sacred.
Load More Replies...I would not go in that Theater. I don't want any part of a movie fast forwarded.
I'd say the sudden fast-forwarding would be a much greater inconvenience, than just two human beings kissing. Do they fast-forward over all scenes where people carry or use weapons as well, or is a kiss much worse than murder to them?
Sadly it was pretty meh. Lots of silly plotholes as well.
Load More Replies...As if kids really care, or even notice, the majority of stuff like that. I have rewatched movies and TV shows that I saw as a child, and boy were there a lot of double entendres that were rather racy in them, all of which went totally over my head back then!
God, how narrow minded some people are. And God forbid to call them homo-phobics... No, of course not! They just don't want to see it, think about it or admit that something like that exists!
When the thing you do draws attention to something you dont want attention drawn to. F*****g morons.
Some commenters are saying that it was in Oklahoma.
Load More Replies...Seriously? Why *do* Americans have such a bee in their bonnets about same sex *anything*?
Of course it's Oklahoma. Absolute garbage state I never want to set foot in again.
God, this makes me so angry! They would have absolutely no problem with a straight couple kissing. I like that Chris Evans (who voices Buzz Lightyear) tweeted sth along the lines of "thankfully, people like that are slowly dying out" after the movie was censored in some countries.
Wtf, really? Do you really have to fast forward through a gay kiss? How about just deal with and don't see it if your a homophobe
What the absolute heck is wrong with some people? Live and let live. Next they will be saying I shouldn't give my dogs and cats any pats or whatever. Chill out, enjoy a film.
but what if I don't want you to fast-forward it? Will you be giving me back some compensation for that loss?
this reminds me of that poster which warned people about a train a movie... "it is not going to ride over you, it is just a movie"
"Thanks, but I'll find another theatre that is run by intelligent adults, not homophobic trolls."
The theater said no showings had been affected and it was an "internal mistake", but I really do wish some reporter had asked more questions or stayed on this considering I'd love to know how they were going to fast forward the movie and how do they think one of their biggest contributors feel about it?
If the theater owners really think there's a problem in the film, they should act on their principles. Close the theater for the run of the film. They should be willing to absorb all that financial loss if they really think there's something wrong. They'll give up the money, won't they??? They wouldn't want to profit from showing such an immoral film. But hey, wait a minute! Doesn't Oklahoma call itself "The Show Me State"? So show it - all of it.
People are so soft these days In top gun (the old one) had a sex scene and the movie was PG Bro people should just grow up for one!!!
Load More Replies...Why warn this!? Then BP would have to censor my name if BP would be that ridiculous.
Because Disney are cowards they removed the scene for the audience in China.
Load More Replies...Not homophobia. Making a choice of what your child is introduce to is called parenting. Would you let your child watch a show of people eating a hires? I wouldn’t because that’s not a norm but in a couple of European countries it is. Not saying it’s bad just not for me or my child👍🏼🥰!
i dont mind that its in, but its dumb that its in a childrens movie.
A cartoon with straight people should be as ok as a cartoon with gay people.
Load More Replies...Why though? There isn’t anything wrong with homosexuality.
Load More Replies...Ah bless, found the simpering man child.
Load More Replies...Dr. Brooks said that refusing to recognize and admit our mistakes when we are wrong hinders our growth and drowns us in disharmony. "This also increases the chances that we, and others, will suffer because when we don't learn from our mistakes, we are more likely to repeat them."
"When we don't admit when we are wrong, we create rifts in our relationships, which are the very source of our own happiness. In essence, we shoot ourselves in the foot," the psychologist explained.
"When it comes to relationships, in particular, it is better to be effective than to be right."

Diane Barth agrees that not acknowledging your mistakes can damage your relationships. "Over the years in my work as a psychotherapist, I've almost never seen a relationship destroyed because someone made a mistake," the author of I Know How You Feel: The Joy and Heartbreak of Friendship in Women's Lives said. "But I've seen many destroyed when someone who made a mistake refused to admit it."
Moreover, if people stop trusting you, you put not only your personal relationships in jeopardy but other aspects of life, such as work, as well.

Some people, however, seem completely incapable of admitting their mistakes. For example, Dr. Brooks highlighted that wars have taken millions of lives, yet those in power still haven't admitted they could've changed course and prevented it.
"People have trouble admitting they are wrong for many reasons but one of the main ones has to do with ego and attachment. When we attach our sense of self to a mental position and take the stance, 'I am right', it becomes part of our identity, part of our ego."
"'I am right' is almost like saying, 'I am Mike' or whatever your name is. Now, my ego, or sense of self, has become attached to a mental position. A primitive 'fight/flight/freeze' survival mechanism kicks in to defend my 'rightness' as if I were defending my very life. It's like a little part of me will die if I were to admit that I am wrong," the psychologist said.

Was Seeing Him For Almost 2-Months Before I Found Out. Sent Him This Message Before Telling His Fiancé Everything
"[If that turns out to be the case, I] feel like I am diminished, in a way, and you, the person in the 'right,' are now superior to me. This is really hard for my ego to take, so I defend myself [and] my 'rightness,' at all costs. Even when this causes great suffering," Dr. Brooks continued.
"The suffering of me admitting that I am wrong is worse than the consequences that come from not admitting that I am wrong, at least in my head. This perspective, which is inspired by Buddhist psychology, is an example of why various attachments are often at the root of suffering."

Interestingly, self-awareness also allows us to make better decisions. In one study, students who scored higher on "metacognitive awareness" (the ability to reflect on personal thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs) made more effective decisions when it came to playing a computer game in which they had to diagnose and treat virtual patients. The authors of the research argued that this was because they could set more well-defined goals and take strategic actions.

"This often crazy, hyper-connected world is moving at a breakneck pace. Our technological evolution is zooming past our biological evolution, [and] we can't adapt fast enough to the changes taking place," Dr. Brooks said.
"In the hustle and bustle of this world, we need to work hard to carve out time to unplug, slow down, and connect more with life and the world around us. We need to place some reasonable limits and boundaries around our technology use in particular and find some quiet times that allow for self-reflection."
