'I broke this piece while dusting': 20+ Mildly Infuriating Moments of the Month (January 2024)

These people had a few irritating moments, and they took to the internet to share their misfortunes. 

From botched milkshakes to busted suitcases, people had a variety of issues to start of the new year. This milkshake of nightmares (#2 below) nearly choked the OP. That's because whoever made the beverage added in all the ingredients, and then blended it together with another cup and a straw still inside! The result is a shredded straw coated with shards of plastic. There's just no reason a customer should ever have to deal with that kind of food hazard! 

Meanwhile, the person with a badly broken suitcase (check it out below at #15) had some precious cargo inside. They were carrying their Playstation, only to get the suitcase back in terrible condition. It looks like someone tried to break in. It also could've just been thrown around a lot, but the damage does look intentional. The OP didn't elaborate on whether the Playstation was taken or not, but hopefully it survived the ordeal. 

Up next, this manager instructed an employee to accept "all returns," and it just went downhill from there.

    "I got this when I was 9… 33 years ago," the OP writes.

    The janitor left a note that reads, "I'm sorry I broke this piece while dusting, Ken Janitor. I'm a Giants fan too. I'm p***ed that I did that! I can replace with a Giants Mitchell jersey?"

    At least the janitor owned up to it! Mistakes happen.

    This person was stunned to find out they basically had to leave a tip if they wanted their food delivered

    K Add a Tip $ 이 100% of your tip goes to your Dasher Orders with no tip might take longer to get delivered - are you sure you want to continue? Dashers can pick and choose which orders they want to do. Orders that take longer to be accepted by Dashers tend to result in a slower delivery. Add a tip Continue without tip

    This person realized their kid had to buy a $60 box of chocolate just so they could put $22 towards a trip

    2023-2024 CANDY SALE It is that time again. The Honor Club is beginning its World's Finest Chocolate Candy sale Friday, January 5th. Permission must be given for each box of candy your child picks up. This year, each box contains 60 bars selling for $1.00 each. For each box sold, your child will earn $22 toward the trip. We are required to pay sales tax on each box, therefore the margin of profit is only 38%. If you want your child to bring home more than one box, indicate that on the slip below

    "I'd rather donate cash," the OP writes. Seems a lot less complicated, and that would save the kiddo hours of work.
