Most people would likely agree that the feeling of great annoyance—often over relatively minor things—is quite universal; people don’t need to speak the same language or be from the same area to know just how aggravating a sock sliding halfway off in a shoe can be.
Similar annoying occurrences are often depicted on the ‘Mildly Infuriating’ subreddit, which currently boasts over 7.4 million members from all over the place. For many of them, the sub is a source of comfort that they’re not alone in being annoyed by the daily inconveniences in life, and if you’re curious to see what said inconveniences entail, scroll down to find some examples on the list below; but do it at your own risk, as they might leave you mildly infuriated, too.

#49 My Shark Shuts Off Every Time I Put It In This Room. Only In This Room
This room only has one door stop and it hits it every single time it’s placed to clean in there while other rooms have several of the same stoppers and it has yet to happen anywhere else.
The Shark just kinda bounces around randomly so… What the heck?
Why does it even have this poorly placed switch when hitting any of the buttons on top will make it stop immediately?
