Unfortunate fails that ruined someone’s whole day

Life sometimes throws us big punches, but those moments are thankfully few and far between. It’s the little, sneaky irritations that often chip away at our mood without warning.

Take a look at these snapshots of everyday annoyances so aggravating, just seeing them might put a small wrinkle in your day.

What In The Fashion Is This?

You can either wear your pants over tall boots or tuck them inside—but combining both at the same time is definitely a fashion fail.

So Close, But So Far

I’m no expert on stovetop design, but if almost every brand manages to line up the burner perfectly with the circle, it can’t be that complicated, right?

This Makes Me So Mad

Ever caught yourself wondering, “What if I sliced bread horizontally instead of the usual way?”

No? Me neither—but clearly, someone out there gave it a try.

Asking For A Mix-Up

What’s the logic behind putting pepper in a white shaker and salt in a black one?

Even with clear labels, when I’m holding a mostly white shaker, my brain just defaults to thinking it’s salt. It’s a classic case of confusing design over common sense.

This Is Anarchy

I firmly believe that a bathroom should have only one toilet paper roll in use at once. Two might be manageable, but this? This is pure chaos.

Was All That Really Necessary?

Ordering online and having items delivered to your home comes with plenty of perks, but one of the biggest downsides is how many companies rely on excessive packaging.

The Worst Kind Of Clock

This clock perfectly highlights how irritating those $4.99 price tags are compared to a flat $5.

Just imagine if every number we used daily followed the same pattern.

This Door Is Activating My Fight Or Flight Instinct

This is hands down the most frustrating thing I’ve seen all week—I’m tempted to take an ax to this door.

Both the designer and the person living here have to be seriously twisted.

I Want To Yell At This Picture

We’ve all faced this issue before: the seatbelt gets twisted inside the clip, making it the wrong size to wear and nearly impossible to straighten out again.

Why Would Someone Do This?

Some wrongdoings in the world, as awful as they are, at least follow some twisted logic. Slicing a stick of butter like this, though, defies all reason.

This Fork Is Useless Now

Let’s take a moment of silence for all the forks, spoons, and knives that slipped just low enough to get their handles wet or sticky, rendering them useless.

Good Luck Passing Them

It’s frustrating enough when two large trucks occupy side-by-side lanes, making it tough to pass, but this trio took it a step further and decided no cars were getting by. Now, the whole highway is the slow lane.

This Is Grounds For An HR Complaint

The person who shared this explained that these three paintings are displayed in their office like this for no obvious reason other than to boost employee frustration at the company.

This Contractor Needs To Retire

At first, I didn’t see what the problem was, but once my eyes focused in on that one post that is upside down, I couldn’t notice anything else. It makes me so mad.

You Have To Eat All Three Now

I love bananas as a fruit, but they have a critical flaw: when you open the peel on one, you have to eat it immediately. At least this person won’t be low on potassium!

Good Question

I don’t know if they have internet surveys in the afterlife for people to fill out at their leisure, but I’m pretty sure that most people on the web have not been in a deadly accident.

The Plants Are Going To Die

I understand that, on any product for sale, there has to be a label stuck on it somewhere, but why would anyone ever put one over the holes on a watering can?

R.I.P. To This Donut

I can only imagine this person’s disappointment when they tried to pull out the donut they were looking forward to only to see that the icing had left the pastry for the bag lining. A true tragedy.

That Is Not “Fixing It”

I understand that finding the exact same bricks in the exact same color might not be feasible for a repair job, but the crew on this job didn’t even try.

Why, Though?

I understand why certain retailers might want to add anti-theft stickers onto their merchandise, but why would anyone ever put one in the middle of a page in the middle of a book?

They Are The Same Size

It would be one thing if they had even just said that it was extra-large, but they really went all the way to say it is extra-extra-large only for it to be the same size as the regular.

Disown Him At This Point

This mom went into her son’s bathroom and saw this absolute monstrosity of a toothpaste tube. I don’t understand how so much toothpaste can end up on the outside of the tube.

They Chose Evil

There are some transgressions that, while annoying, are forgivable, such as forgetting to put a new roll on the holder. However, choosing to do this rather than take off the empty one is truly evil.

Didn’t Rise To The Occasion, I Guess

Since store-bought sliced bread is so easy to acquire, I never really thought about how difficult it is to actually bake your own. It really is a finicky item to get to rise properly and bake consistently.

This Is An Ad, Not A Fortune

While it is a silly tradition to have in Chinese restaurants, I still find a lot of fun in reading my fortune at the end of a meal. I would be so mad if it was ruined by an ad.

How Do You Even Cook It?

I get that a machine made the mistake of putting the cardboard between the toppings and the crust, but I genuinely want to know what a person could do? Dump the toppings onto the crust and hope it works out okay?

No One Wins In This Situation

Poor Julie barely had any of her drink before mistakenly leaving it on a shelf. Now some poor store employee has to deal with it. It’s a lose-lose kind of situation.

Grade School Me Is So Angry

I have so many vivid memories of spending several minutes trying to sharpen a pencil with an off-center lead that simply cannot get the lead to form at the point.

Why Would You Ever Do This?

It’s perfectly fine to have a machine full of gumballs, and it is perfectly fine to have a machine full of bouncing balls, but there should never be both in one.

This Is Why Kids Hate School

It’s one thing to get an answer wrong on a test because you simply did the work incorrectly, but there’s a special type of pain in getting the right answer and having it still count as incorrect.

These Peas Are Upsetting Me

At first glance, this plate of food looks just fine, and then you focus on the peas. Every time I look at them, I shudder.

This restaurant should fire their photoshop designer immediately.

Why Didn’t They Purchase The Property Across The Street?

Someone in a boardroom was looking at new available properties, and saw that there were vacancies on this road.

They had the choice of buildings, and thought to themselves, “You know what the perfect address would be? 712.”

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others

If you’re going to go out of your way to install identical control knobs, you have to go all the way and replace all of them.

You can’t just leave the fourth as an inverted version.

That One Yellow Piece In The Grey Side Is Driving Me Nuts

If you love to color code things and organize things by their properties, this is bound to piss you off.

The fact that the yellow one out of place is right in the corner somehow makes it worse.

That’s Too Many Icons

This person didn’t have enough space on one desktop for all of his icons, so he had to add another screen.

If you need this many icons, you may have some other problems.

It’s Still Closed

This person went to open a sealed container only to discover that they had removed the foil top while leaving the thin plastic film behind.

This container is still very much closed.

Fingerprints Everywhere

This computer does not have a touch screen, and yet, it’s totally covered in fingerprints. Why was somebody continuously touching this screen?

Did they think that it was a touchscreen?
