Every now and then we see a photo that boils our blood and makes us shake with anger. The r/mildlyinfuriating is a mecca for these kinds of images. People share disturbing images from real life and from the depths of the internet that will get your grinds gearing in no time. After all, it's better to feel anger than the numbness we feel most of the damn time. Whether your mildly infuriating poison is food-related (well-done steak) or tech-related (nobody actually wants sticky keys turned on) we're willing to bet that something in here will piss you off. 

We have a lot of respect for the tech-inclined, but most of these memes are pretty universal. While we're not one-man IT departments, we can understand the absolute annoyance of Windows' seemingly spontaneous updates.

Many of us know the struggle. Lack of internet or website permissions. A janky computer. These are things that have forced us to play Solitaire - a sure sign that you're probably desperate for entertainment. And you don't have a television or even a book to keep you occupied. This meme definitely takes us back to High School, and Reddit seems to be touched by a similar nostalgia. The r/dankmemes community has been churning out memes about the cascading cards animation that would occur upon winning the one-person card game. It started with a Spongebobmeme, in which the yellow sponge appears to be cascading like the animated playing cards. The meme has since taken many other forms. Here are our favorites.

Technology has become an inescapable part of our lives, both at work and at home. These memes are sure to be relatable to most people, whether you're a web developer or simply own a notebook for googling you dumbest questions.

Sometimes we get pretty complacent about the data we share with our "friends" on the internet. We get sucked into this share culture and forget to check ourselves. This Twitter thread from Dylan Curran is an incredible (and incredibly educational) reminder that we need to watch our internet backs.

They say that technology is the future, but realistically some of us are still stuck in 1997. Maybe turning it off and on again will help.

Jump into the meme stream and enjoy!

We've all heard our grandparents complain about walking miles to school in hazardous conditions. Today's version of that consists of people mocking today's youth being glued to their phones like internet zombies. This attitude has extended to corny and smug memes mocking the current state of childhood spirit. Memers, naturally, have run wild with this concept - taking a somewhat misguided attempt at meme-ing and making it all their own. 

We'll get through this together.
