'The meter maid literally ran to his car to give him a ticket': Top 20 Mildly Infuriating Moments of the Week (June 1, 2023)

Without password sharing for movie streaming services, how will humanity survive? Families are being torn apart as some streaming services have ceased allowing families to share passwords with each other. Now, something that was once a legacy — having a cheap pass to let all your family and friends mooch off your Netflix account — is no more. Indeed, the younger generations are rolling their eyes and switching to the next cheapest service. That's just one of the mildly annoying things people sh…

'Well that's a pickle': Customer service rep puts driver on hold while pet cat is stuck inside locked car

'[They] lock you out of the car completely': Customer service rep puts driver on hold while pet cat is stuck inside locked car

Car sharing is a brilliant idea — you can rent out your car for others to use while you're not using the car yourself. As a car owner, you make some cash, and as a customer, you can drive a car that's already located near to you, without having to deal with a typical rental service. What could go wrong? It's just one of many new services run by apps in today's modern age. But since it is a rather new idea, there are still some kinks that need to be straightened out. Just check out the story of…

'My neighbor parks middle of our double-driveway': Guy claims authorities 'won't come out' to help with neighbor

'My neighbor parks in the middle of our double-driveway': Guy claims authorities 'won't come out' to solve issue with neighbor

There's no way this guy will let their neighbor get a free fence out of them. But apparently that won't stop her from trying! In a popular post to r/mildlyinfuriating, one person shared their story of neighborhood troubles. The post really resonated, with more than 5,500 people chiming in with helpful suggestions. The issue is that the OP, u/anselld, and their neighbor share the same driveway. OP included a lovely photograph, included below, to show the way the driveway leads up to their two ho…

'[My] driveway is constantly blocked': Brooklyn resident asks for advice with parking issue

'[My] driveway is constantly blocked': Brooklyn resident infuriated by people parking in their driveway

New York parking is no joke. It's a battle at the best of times. If driving stresses you out, don't ever drive in New York City ! It's super stressful, and it's nearly impossible to ever find parking. Even in Brooklyn, where traffic tends to be lighter, parking problems still arise. One Brooklyn resident shared that they live near the beach (Maybe Coney Island? It's a popular tourist spot, though the OP didn't specify). Random people will constantly park in the OP's driveway. It must be infuria…

'[She] ended up hitting the cruiser': Driver trying to cut up the shoulder in traffic runs into a conveniently placed police cruiser

This Karen thought that she could use the shoulder to skip a queue of traffic on the motorway, but when a semi-driver decided that he was going to have none of that and intervened, he caused her to crash into a conveniently placed police cruiser. The story was witnessed and shared to r/MaliciousCompliance by a truck driver, Redditor u/fmintar1. They shared this story to the popular subreddit to share how they got one up on this queue-dodging cretin. The types of people that do things like this…

'I called the cops': Neighbor repeatedly blocks new parents' driveway, gets towed, blames them

Having immature neighbors who engage in petty games of warfare or who otherwise just don't care about how their actions are affecting other people is the worst… and you know things are bad when a newborn baby isn't the most immature participant in the dispute. This neighbor refused to heed reason and repeatedly blocked their new parent neighbors in their own driveway, meaning the parents had to miss multiple appointments for their newborn, as they could not leave their home. After pleading with…

'I will fill your car with snow': Guy gets ice-cold revenge on a parking spot stealer during actual blizzard

There's snow-where to run and snow-where to hide from the ice-cold vengeance that's coming your way after you steal the parking spot that someone has spent hours digging out in a freezing tundra of a historic blizzard. Sure, there may not be any legalities surrounding the claimant's claim to a dug-out spot, but when you've lived in areas that get this much snowfall, you know—and respect—the code. If you choose to dishonor the code, there's no telling what might happen to your vehicle. The sheer…

'This is not an HOA': Resident files stacks of complaints against neighbor, neighbor has enough and gets resident's motor home towed

'This is not an HOA': Resident has their motorhome towed after filing stacks of complaints against their neighbor

Before moving into a new place, you nitpick the neighborhood, the cement walls, hardwood floors, potential leaks, and of course, the neighbors. Unfortunately, there are things that are a challenge to foretell, such as the relationship you'll have with fellow residents of said neighborhood. In this case, OP was minding their own business when their neighbors decided to challenge their peace. These neighbors were under the impression that they lived in an HOA, which was false; they relentlessly f…

'I poured water on his windshield': Man freezes out his neighbor after snow shoveling snafu

These neighbors aren't going to be on friendly terms after this guy's ice cold revenge! “It was a cold winter day,” writes u/topathemornin. They told this excellent tale of very petty revenge, and as they claim, there was about 8 inches of snow outside, with temperatures dipping into the negatives. The OP began shoveling out their two cars. They dug out their own SUV, and then also shoveled a second place for their wife's Prius. The trouble started after the OP and their wife made a trip in the…

'I placed [the check] behind a windshield wiper of the bin lorry': Scottish guy gets back at local parking enforcement by using their own tricks

Local parking enforcement agencies might be the root of all evil. Whether it's the local transport agency, council, or city government, as soon as that organization is responsible for parking, you can guarantee they will use bogus tickets, blatant hypocrisy, and outright bullying to ensure they can bleed as much money as possible from the population. But I should clarify that I'm biased here. If you've been reading these posts for a while, you might already be aware that I have a particular bon…

As she tells it, staff and higher-ups at her company had separate entrances to park and get into the building. The OP was told to hold a customer who was staying at the office for the day, and the OP's boss said she could park in the fancy car park. That was…

‘I said I'll report them for insurance fraud; they refunded me straight away': HOA hires towing company to ensure ‘aesthetic’ parking, towing company mess with wrong resident, leading to resident destroying them both

‘I said I'll report them for insurance fraud; they refunded me straight away': HOA hires towing company to ensure ‘aesthetic’ parking, towing company mess with wrong resident, leading to resident destroying them both

This HOA got more than they bargained for when they hired a towing company to ensure that cars parked fit the 'aesthetic' of their neighborhood. Correct, you read that right; the HOA president decided that parking was not allowed in front of townhomes because they were at the front of the subdivision, and he felt it was 'unsightly' to see cars parked at the curb when he drove by. So the HOA hired a towing company to make sure that cars that dared do so be towed. What the HOA didn't know (we ass…
