It could be said that a large portion of one's life is consumed with the full range of unwanted inconveniences. These situations can vary from the minor to the major, from the temporary to the permanent, and from the eye-roll-inducing to the screaming-in-your-pillow reactions.

For the sake of our collective amusement, we will be focusing on life's mildly infuriating moments today. You know, the kinds of situations that are intensely frustrating but not life-altering. In fact, at most, these moments are day-altering, like when you have to journey all the way back home because you left your work computer there or when you're stuck on the train for a few minutes longer than desired. We relish in these moments when they do not happen to us personally because they take us back to when we have been in similar situations and they make us feel ever so slightly less crazy when others react with recognizable frustration. In short, watching mildly infuriating moments unfold for other humans makes us feel more human. So, thank you to these Redditors and Internet folks for sharing their recent grievances.
