What I do if the tab snaps before I can open the can is get a knife and just stab at the can. I can then frantically suck at the hole like a sugar craving leech.

Home to all things "Mildly Infuriating" Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that.

Like a weird type of shotgunning?
can we get video?
This is like a scene in a movie where they're establishing the psycho character.
Whoever taught this can how to be a can failed miserably
This can cannot.
I feel like this has happened much more often than it used to. Maybe I'm just unlucky though.
For some reason the overall quality of an A&W Root Beer feels less than a Diet Coke can. No idea why, but things like this happen and the sound of the can opening is always louder. Maybe it's thinner. Now I want to weigh two empty cans side by side.
If you're disappointed in the quality, you should try some local brands. Root beer has had a boom similar to craft beer and I think you'd be surprised at the variety you can find at the store these days.
Probably at least able to find Virgil's most places, which is pretty darn good.
Oh God this drives me mental all the time
When this happens I just push it in with my finger and cut myself on the can!
I usually just push through with my finger, but I have to say, I love your style.
Then you try and push it the rest of the way through with your finger and slice your whole fucking hand open, immediately realising what a stupid decision that was 😅
That takes it from mildly infuriating to a combination of extremely infuriating and TIFU.
It had ONE JOB!
Manufacturing failure modes is perhaps a weird fascination of mine. How does the industry fail for 1/1000 products sometimes...

Me too! I try to take a picture of some of the better ones I run into. Some that come to mind are a fully sealed individual size bag of chips that only had air in it, and an individually wrapped protein cookie that had two cookies jammed in it. Life evens out.
I once got one of those little 1.5oz bags of Doritos that weighed about double what it should have. Bonus bag!
Maybe we should have a community for this kind of thing.
Task failed successfully
When I feel this happening, I turn the tab to the side that's not opening and I pop that side out too. I don't know if that made any sense in text but it does in my head.
I recognize that plant from IKEA.
Isn't it weird that we live in a world with fake plants that are mass produced to the degree that many of us recognize them in a photo, that the table has fake distressed wood, that the floor is fake wooden paneling?
So many things have become attainable because of mass production, but isn't it weird that we live in a world where these things exist? Where you can walk into somebody's home in s different country, on a different continent, and go "yeah, i have the same thing at home?"
It is crazy! I moved to a completely different country to be with my wife, and I noticed one time that her mom had the exact same long-toothed comb that my mom had while growing up. A large and rectangular blue one with white tips and square protruding textures along the side. I could have sworn it even had broken teeth in the same places. It blew my mind.
I believe it was this one, but without a handle: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/77e0d3ee-b1da-4a49-a217-174868cf6f5e.png
Glad I stopped drinking soda years ago cause that's just the worst. Now I mainly worry about getting water bottles with caps that don't break the seal with that little plastic ring.
Whenever this happens I just jam my cock in there and whatever happens happens
“But anyways, what was I saying? Oh yes, thank you for inviting me to speak at commencement”
I am mildly infuriated
Time to throw it against a wall
Surprisingly I haven't ever had this happen to me. Probably just jinxed it though.
I recently had a tab that just straight up broke in half. Never seen that happen before.
I hate when that happens so much!
This is the kind of content I came to Lemmy to see. /r/mildlyinfuriating turned into "My ex killed my dog and burned my house down"
The other day I had a tab on a can bend in half without opening the can. I had to force it downwards to crack it open.
This recently happened to me too! The tab did almost nothing and I ended up grabbing a fork to bend in the metal opening. Glad to see I'm not the only one cursed?
I agree, that's mildly infuriating.
This has happened to me many times.
I felt this photo.
