We’re ranking posts from “Mildly Infuriating.” Welcome to “Good Mythical More.” If you go to the Reddit thread called “Mildly Infuriating,” you’re gonna see that people find things that upset them. But not too much. But not too much, but enough to post. There’s a sweet spot that makes something mild in its infuriation. And we’re gonna find that, because sometimes people go too far and sometimes people don’t go far enough. Mm hm, what’s the sweet spot of infuriation? The Goldilock Zone, they call it. Uh huh. Well, I’m gonna show you some posts and you’re gonna rank them, or rate them one through 10, but we’re thinking that a five might be an ideal rating for mildly infuriating. Yeah. You don’t wanna go over or above. So let’s ,see this first one. Uber driver coffee discounts, only available at participating stores. This is not a participating store. What in the hell is happening here? Uber Driver. So first of all. That’s not even coffee, that’s gum. Uber driver coffee discounts only available at participating stores. This is not a participating store. No, but what is a participating store? If you, you know. Is this a misuse of quotes as is often the case on homemade signs? Or is this someone who is actually upset that they have to do this? I think that, I think it’s double whammy here. I believe that this message should have been inverted. This is not a participating store for the Uber driver coffee discount, you know, less words. It leads with the bad news, so you don’t get your hopes up. As opposed to promoting something and then a rug pull. Are you evaluating this from the perspective of an Uber driver? Yes. Because if you’re evaluating this from the perspective of me, then I’m like, this is funny. You know what I’m saying? This is funny. Okay. This is funny, I like. Yeah, you have be- Put this on a different thread. An Uber driver in order to be infuriated by it. You’re right about that. But I think that- So that makes it mild, more mild. But if I’m an Uber driver, this is very infuriating. Yeah, yeah. I think for that, I think we’ve gotta kick it to the curb. I think this is an eight or a nine for an Uber driver. But then for a normal person… It’s just funny. So that’s a zero. It’s not infuriating at all. So, that leaves us somewhere around… Four. A four. So we’re gonna go with four. Assuming there’s just as many non-Uber drivers in the world as Uber drivers, which is true. Yes. Okay. Yeah. This post says “Etsy seller really thought this is what I wanted.” “You are my piece. Is there a way for you to make it look like the word piece is scratched off and then the word peace next to it?” Ouch. Oh my God. Literal execution of the assignment. Oh my God. You gotta, boy, you gotta clarify. You gotta clarify. Is there, so the idea was to have a piece that said, “You are my piece.” And to make it look like the word piece is scratched off. And then the word peace next to it. What? Yeah. But so it’s, but it was gonna be on a puzzle piece. Yeah, you are my piece. I mean, peace. I get it, okay. First of all, great woodworking on creating a puzzle piece. I mean, that, that’s what puzzle pieces look like. Right. You know? The ratio- All the ones I’ve seen. The tabs, yeah. The tabs, the tab to overall piece ratio is… This is so strange. This puzzle is gonna be incredibly easy to solve. Every decision that could have been made by the person making it, and there were multiple. Multiple. Were all made wrong. They made the wrong choice at every turn. And again, I find it very amusing because I’m not the one who made the order. But for the person who did. You’re not a piece. For the person who did, you’re very upset until you realize that you can post this on “Mildly Infuriating.” And it may actually be even better than you intended. But that’s a little too meta. I’ve never ordered anything custom that has been this bad. I mean, the thing is, you’re trying to give more direction, you’re trying to be helpful, and then it’s all used against you. That hurts. When was the last time you got something custom like engraved or got letters on something? My wedding band is custom. What does it say on it? It doesn’t say anything. Doesn’t say anything at all. Well, that wasn’t the question. What? Custom writing. Oh, well, I, the last thing I got custom was my wedding band and I wanted to talk about it. When’s the last time you got something custom written? You’re not interested in hearing about my wedding band? No, that’s not the question. I mean, it’s custom design. That’s beautiful. Yeah. When was the last time you got words put on something? It’s got a salt and pepper diamond. I got my initials put on my air pods because my family. Because my hair was salt and pepper and Christie said that she thought it was a good idea. Okay. And then the etching around it- Actually, what he’s talking about is beautiful. And I wish that Rhett would just let him say it. Actually, what he’s talking about is a beautiful thing. It’s a symbol of 25 years of marriage. Actually, what he’s talking about is beautiful. He’s talking about his marriage, which is more interesting than what Rhett was trying to talk about. As I was saying. That’s the face you’re making right now. It’s special to me. And it… You go outside like that. It was exactly, it was exactly how I wanted it. No mistakes. I got RJM put on my air pods. So, if you find yourself somewhere with RJM AirPods, they’re mine. Oh, you lost ’em? No, I’m just saying, just in case. I got a unicorn etched on mine. Oh wait, did I take Christie’s AirPods? Yes, you did. Yeah, of course you did. Of course you did. I been using Christie’s AirPods, like why. It’s okay for them to share. They’re spouses. It’s okay if Link uses Christie’s AirPods because they share a relationship, and of course, they can share if they share a marriage, they can share their AirPods. You go outside like that. I think this is… Sometimes I just gotta do it, y’all. I think this is… Sometimes I just got to. This is over a five. It’s just so stupid in too many ways. The way the puzzle piece was made. Being that, it’s like, can you be that stupid? No. It might be intentional. If you start to believe or question if it’s intentional, you’re emphatically infuriating. I think we’ve got a language barrier here. Okay, well, in that case, then maybe this is a five. Five. We’re gonna go with perfect. Okay, so this is the ideal mild, okay. If there’s a language barrier. Yeah. Okay, there’s a qualifier. We’re assuming a language barrier. Okay, okay. This says, “My husband and I do the exact same job at the same company. He has four pockets in his company issued uniform pants. I have none.” Oh, you’re a woman. Women don’t need pockets. Yeah. They have a pocketbook. Think about, think, those dresses that y’all wear, they don’t have pockets. You don’t need pockets, right? Rhett, Rhett, you’re right. Those pantyhose that they wear, they don’t have pockets. They don’t have pockets. You don’t need pockets. Those high heels that they need to wear all the time. Right. They don’t have pockets. Can’t have pockets in your high heels. Right, the makeup that you have to wear. Okay, you know what? This makes me really upset. This makes me really upset, because a woman needs just as many pockets, if not more than a man. Also, it looks like the man’s pants have elastic in the waistband and the women’s pants don’t. Yep. Hmm. Mm hm, mm hm. Where do they work that they’ve got pants like this? Chuck E. Cheese? Could be anywhere. You ain’t gotta throw Chuck E. Cheese under the bus for black pants. So many places, but more places have black pants as a uniform than any other. We got really, really close to making y’all wear black pants. Yep. We could wear anything on top, but you’re gonna have to wear black pants. I just wouldn’t, I wouldn’t start to chalk this up to gender. It might just be luck of the pants draw. Yeah, this happens. This happens. If you go back and say, “Can I get pants with pockets?” You probably can’t. And they say no and they give a reason and there’s no language barrier, then. You probably, yeah. If there’s a language barrier, then this is a five. What do y’all think? I understand this is infuriating, but I do think you should ask. Right, you should always ask. Just a question for the crew here. What do y’all think about instituting casual Fridays? Everybody can wear jeans on Fridays. How ’bout that? How ’bout that? We like that? I mean, we would really need to do the opposite, right? We need to come up with formal Fridays. What if we had formal Fridays? What if we did formal Fridays? Formal Fridays. Could they be work from home? You could look as sharp as you can. Yeah, y’all think people are in the office on Fridays? Yeah, work from home, but you have to wear- You have to wear a suit. A suit. Yeah. And you have to show the whole thing. You have to stand up away from your webcam. All your video calls are full body. To work. “I don’t know. My boss is making me do full body Fridays.” Did you say all of your web video? Full body formal Friday. Full body formal Fridays. I don’t know. Right, right. I gotta buy a suit. Yes. I thought you said all of your web video calls. Is that what you called them? I probably did. I’m an old man. All those web video calls you have. You know, video calls. So we think this is for, we think this is a 10. No, no, no. No, we think this is- I was saying it’s like a three. No, it’s a 10 because women deserve pockets, okay? If it’s about that, then yes, it’s a 10. We listen to women. We listen to women. And what they’ve told us is only about pockets. Yep, right. This says “Wife’s ice cream came without one of the main ingredients.” What? Ben or Jerry screwed up. Peppermint ice cream with chocolate sandwich cookies. It looks remelted. Maybe they’ve sunk to the bottom. Yeah, this is a deceptive post. What we have here is a case of melting and refreezing and all of the mint chocolate chip cookies are at the bottom. Yep. And you found that out later, but you didn’t delete your post. So, we are mildly infuriated that you did not correct your post, sweet, Dream Sweetism. Yep. ‘Cause we know that you discovered it, ’cause you still ate it. You still ate it. I would’ve still eaten it. I mean, peppermint ice cream, maybe I wouldn’t have eaten. It’s been confirmed that she did eat through the whole thing and there were no, there were no cookies. Oh, they- Oh. Well, then. Yes, they followed up. But who knows? Then we would like to apologize. Yeah, we take it all back. We take it all back. We’re big enough to do that. I think we should blame anyone but Ben and Jerry though, to be honest, because those guys. Yeah, they’re good guys. We’re not blaming either one of them. Mm. Well crap guys, because this is, yeah, it’s still ice cream and it still is gonna taste good, but- I think this would be… It’s not what you wanted. I think if I had made the choice to get myself a personal pint, which when you do the personal pint. Yeah. At the end of a formal Friday. Oh yeah. Full body formal. You’ve been on your feet doing full body meetings all day. Yep. And you’re like, I’m gonna reward myself with a full pint. Mm hm. And you sit down on your couch and you pop the top and you’re like, “What the hell?” Nothing. What the helly? Is what you expected. Still trying to make that happen. What the helly? I’ve done so many web video calls today. What the helly? What am I gonna do about this? I’d be so upset. This is a eight. Seven. At least a seven. Yeah, yeah, doesn’t count. This says “My nephew refuses to go to our local park because he’s terrified of this thing.” Well, he needs to grow up. Is this a kid doing a keg stand? He needs to grow up. You can’t completely control your environment, kids. Every once in a while you’re gonna run into something that’s a little upsetting and you gotta be ready for it. Sometimes, it’s gonna be a weird wood man on his hands. So you’re mildly infuriated with the nephew? Yeah, yeah. He’s gotta get over this. So am I. We need some exposure therapy here. Just a little exposure therapy. Is this a carving? What? I thought you were gonna say, “Is this a cartwheel?” I was like, I don’t know, it’s frozen. It could have been a cartwheel. It looks like a handstand. Yeah, I think it was a full tree. What’s coming out of the… The head? More tree. So, this is a tree carving. That’s pretty cool. Except for the part coming out of his nose, which makes me feel weird. Yeah, we could have hollowed that out and had just the arms, and you’d think it probably would stand up. No, that would’ve been impressive though. And of course, the name of the park. The name of the park is Wood Boy. Ass Up Recreation Center. Yep, there you go. CRX. I don’t think this is mildly infuriating. I think this is a pretty cool sculpture. And your nephew should- We are mildly infuriated, but we’re not gonna shame the kid, so I think it’s five. We’re infuriated with the kid though. Okay. You think this is, this is the, okay, all right. Okay, okay. This says “What my girlfriend received at work today for 11 years of service.” “We appreciate your dedication and loyalty over the past 11 years.” Is that a Kit Kat? Is that a, it’s a snack sized candy? How come we can’t see the candy? It’s a mini, it’s a mini candy. The label is bigger than the candy. Can’t help but notice she’s wearing black pants and she’s standing up. She might be on a web call. Is that, is that a leg? Yeah. Or is that a shadow? Oh, that’s a leg. This is so sad. 11 years. It’s better than nothing. Not really though. It’s worse than that. No, it’s worse than nothing. It’s much worse than nothing. How infuriating is this if you’re that person? This is like a 10 outta 10. Yeah, if you’re gonna, you literally took the time to think about this and then that was what you thought of. Yeah, that’s 10 outta 10. If the thing said, like, if you really wanted that snack and it had that label on it and it was tied so tight that it like smooshed the snack, that would be mildly infuriating, you know? This is downright hurtful. Is that a different Reddit? This is a nine. Downright hurtful thread. We’re gonna go with a nine. Niner. This says “Hot Wheels losing details over the years.” This is a big topic. I’ve floated in and out of it a few times. Lots of people are discussing this. So, in 1997. In 1997, they were metal on the bottom and they had all types of detailing under there. Like a mechanic was involved. Right, it was a car. But look at… Maybe the top one’s an electric car. They abandoned, I mean they said, “You know what, we’re just gonna, we’re gonna go with, we’re gonna keep the drive shaft, but we’re gonna get rid of all the innards in the middle.” And they’re like, “Who’s gonna notice? Are the people of Reddit gonna notice?” Is this gonna become a cultural conversation? Yes. They just, what did they change? They just removed a designer. Because like once you pour the plastic, it’s not that different, you know, it’s like, maybe it created more rejects and someone had to design it. You’re not saving that much by doing this. I’m pretty infuriated. But it’s the bottom of the car. The top of the car also suffered. I think this is five. By the way. Just the bottom of the car. I think this is nailed, mild, mild infuriation. I feel like for the person who cares about this, this is at least a seven. Yeah, but the person who cares about it shouldn’t care so much about it. Okay, five. “My dad likes to help out around the place. He sprayed weed killer on my path, but walked across the line. Well, he wanted you to know… Where he was. Yeah, where he went. That is crazy. He sprayed it on the path, walked all over it. And there’s no way to prove that’s not Jesus’ footprints. Right. That’s scary. That means he, if he, he didn’t purposefully walk in the weed killer he was spraying. But then, that’s how strong the weed killer is that it stayed on. Yeah. For that long. Like, all the way. Step after step after step. That’s not good. When somebody tries to help you and they mess up a little bit, you can’t get too upset. You can’t be like, “Oh my God, I must file a lawsuit.” You know? This is mildly infuriating. It will grow over. It’ll take a while though. It’ll take longer than you were hoping for. I think this is a five too. Oh really? Maybe a four. I don’t know, if like, it doesn’t look like they care too much about their grass though. There’s like clovers in there. Right, and look at the stuff in the bottom left, like where there are dead weeds. Just some rocks. And they weren’t doing it. Their dad was doing it. Five. Yep. We’re really zoning in on what mildly infuriating is. Do we have one more? Great, no, we’re done. And so, you’ve really achieved it. I think that- Okay, we achieved it. Yeah, you achieved it. I’m not infuriated. Take a special look at Mythical Society Exclusives on “Good Mythical More” now. Link bites back a gasp as Rhett slides the other hand along his waist. He is surprised how well they fit together. And how at ease he feels in Rhett’s arms.
