'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.

Their whole straw had been blended up. And not just that — there was an entire half of a plastic cup that went through the blender, too!

Even though this dude had a handicap placard that he was using after a surgery, he still got this angry note

Not only that, but the note was placed while the guy was visiting someone at a cancer center. Whoever wrote that note, you're the worst.

A flight passenger chose to save some prime seats using donuts

Worst of all, she saved three seats for just two people. She just lied to everyone walking by.

Monday morning is off to a disappointing start with a broken Ken Mitchell figurine

"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.

Even though this OP's husband was in charge of watching the dogs while OP was away, he chose to only check in on them once per day. Then he chose to blame his partner for the damage those bored dogs did.

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