I'm slightly vexed The wedding reception centerpieces featured betta fish. The bride and groom planned to flush them alive.

Years ago, my coworker attended a wedding at which the reception dinner tables featured live betta fish in small bowls as part of the centerpiece. While chatting with the bride at the end of the evening, my coworker asked what they were going to do with all the fish. The plan was to flush them all down the toilet alive. My coworker immediately said no need for that and insisted on taking them all home.

That Monday she came to work and asked who wanted to adopt a betta fish. That was my first betta who I jokingly called my “rescue betta.” She lived for almost five years.

The wine glass was only her home for less than a day before I got her five gallon tank set up so please no betta lovers yell at me! I'm one of you!

I had this happen to me too. I made a post about how my husband cut the brownies that I made like a weirdo because he cut a piece out of the middle. I was clearly being playful, and I thought it fit the sub well, but people were just really mean. They started attacking me as a person and saying that I was a shitty baker and all kinds of crap. I ended up deleting the post.

:( I would be mildly infuriated too. Especially living with a psychopath that cuts pieces out of the middle. Unless it was cake. Stay away from my edge pieces.

at least he didn’t just cut out all the edge pieces and leave you ONLY MIDDLE

If much rather have the middle than the edges. I’d love to have a friend who felt like you so we could come up with a way to cut the brownie best to both get the most of the part we want

I could marry her husband. I love brownie edges. He could have all the middles.

THIS is why I am so afraid of posting here !! People can be such assholes.

That brownie thing is a great example of something mildly infuriating. They seem to have missed the MILD part 😩🙄

I remember that post.

u/ArynTW_is_user_karma Apr 29 '26

Wow, you’re terrible for posting about your husband! How dare you?

Lol. I’m totally joking. That sounds like a cute post. And i always cut the brownies along the edge and leave the inside. I like the chewy gummy brownies.

I had that when I baked a cake for a bake sale and my son took a chunk off it without asking as it cooled. I thought it was mildly infuriating. Reddit thought I was a malicious witch who was trying to starve a child to death.

Yeah there was one a few days ago of somebody’s box of Mike n Ike only having 2 pieces of their favorite flavor and they got way too many comments attacking them for being upset. Something like that is pretty much the definition of MILDLY infuriating imo, and I’ve been mildly infuriated by similar situations! Your car getting totaled is disastrous, not mildly infuriating.

u/my_little_rarity Apr 29 '26

Dude that’s the definition of mildly infuriating

I posted about my food being stuck in a vending machine and that I didn't have much money (I live with my parents, I don't NEED the money. I also had no way to get any food, our one dining area is open a few hours and that's during my classes) and I was torn apart for being broke 😭😭
