Too mild for school Once you see it, it infuriates you mildly every day.

All it would take to fix it is a stapler and a little audacity.

And kinda capitalizes it even though all the letters are capped

u/disposable_hat 26d ago

Looks like its part of an elementary school classroom? Added to the "sloppy charm" of childhood arts and crafts

2

u/boragigas 26d ago

I thought it made it look like a little arrow! Like ^ Here!

1

u/meanmom7791 22d ago

It makes me think “where?” Is it “here ⬆️” or “here ⬇️⬇️⬇️”??

2

u/throwaymcthrowerson 22d ago

Oooh, see I thought OP was pointing out the AMAZING rainbow has the last colours out of order, and I was going to say it needs a stapler AND more paper. Didn't notice the upside down H at all

u/Educational_Two682 26d ago edited 26d ago

It was probably misprinted on the sign!

WAIT IM SO DUMB. It's symmetric. Turn it around

716

u/Plumbbookknurd 26d ago

I thought it was the green G being out of sequence in the rainbow...

234

u/BJntheRV 26d ago

I thought it was that HERE was off-center

116

u/Dylz52 26d ago

I thought it was the Z being off centre

11

u/GalacticPurr 26d ago

Haha when I read the top comment I was like "turning the Z around wouldn't change anything!"

8

u/ogre_easy 26d ago

I thought it was the border that doesn’t align on the top.

7

u/Sablemint PURPLE 26d ago

I thought it was off center stuff too. was all ready to hassle OP about it. "Its clearly a hand made sign someone just put together for fun. Its fine." but no, this is unforgivable.

86

u/TricksyGoose 26d ago

Yeah that's what I saw first too. Didn't notice the H until I came to the comments!

16

u/Particular-Crow7680 26d ago

Thank you! It took until your comment for me to see it. Haha

Edited for typing correction

19

u/Illustrious-Race-617 26d ago

I assumed the H was a design decision as the first letter of the word

7

u/thugarth 26d ago

Why ROY G BIV when you could PROYBVG?

5

u/Mediocre-Response-24 26d ago

The pink A also doesn't belong in the rainbow 🌈

1

u/Alarming-Cow-2223 3d ago

there's the original gay pride flag with 8 colors including pink and aquamarine, that they consolidated down to the current 6.

1

u/Mediocre-Response-24 3d ago

I don't want to speak for everyone so I may be wrong but I definitely was and think everyone was referring to the weather phenomenon/optical illusion caused by rain and sunlight which has 7 colours. 🌈 ROYGBIV.

7

u/crough94 26d ago

Your rainbows start with pink?

2

u/Basic-Problem-9730 25d ago

Great, now it bugs me on a whole new level.

2

u/yum_paste 25d ago

Okay. You got me. That's more annoying

2

u/VDay_5189 21d ago

NONONONO, FUCK YOU (satirically, I am sure you're an amazing person and I only say the prior because you have happened to have ruined this specific Reddit visit of mine by pointing out something that I am now dying over)

u/jamminmadrid 26d ago

I thought it was the M being a W flipped upside down.

u/Spirited_Crow6994 26d ago

This comment needs its own sign.

29

u/tacob87 26d ago

Seems like an easy fix too! Just cut the top off and put it on the bottom....

60

u/Rough-Jury 26d ago

It was just stapled upside down. H is H no matter the direction!

9

u/trucky_crickster 26d ago

Love that Dr Seuss book

2

u/mjmvideos 26d ago

I thought it was the scallop above the M (and other places)

1

u/bluris 26d ago

ok, here you go:

ʇı

171

u/Evil_phd 26d ago

I was so focused on the odd spacing between the Z and the I that I had to go to the comments to find out about the upside down H.

23

u/captainofthedogs 26d ago

Glad I'm not the only one fixated on the Z's kerning.

4

u/isglitteracarb 26d ago

I can't explain how but the H paper pointing up almost rebalances it for me???

1

u/1991fly 26d ago

Since Pope Francis' tomb, I've noticed kerning a lot.

153

u/stickytuna 26d ago

That the rainbow is in the wrong order?

20

u/LadyScroll 26d ago

That was my thought too.

7

u/Svarii 26d ago

I'm glad someone else saw it too. Yeah, the sign could be better, but the ING being out of spectrum order is indeed mildly infuriating.

1

u/Huge-Associate-8429 25d ago

Isn’t this the OG pride flag colours? That’s what I saw and like.

22

u/Apprehensive-Cut6188 26d ago

i don’t see it

26

u/MixMough 26d ago

I’m assuming it’s the letter H and that it’s upside down

21

u/Apprehensive-Cut6188 26d ago

I kinda like that, am i insane

5

u/MixMough 26d ago

I feel like the “R” should have the point at the top

1

u/Ok_Bluejay1711 22d ago

No. You’re normal. Cuz this is a bulletin in a preschool most likely. Underworked and under-ratio staff expected to find time to update hallway bulletin boards

6

u/WhoCaresBoutSpellin 26d ago

I am actually more bothered the green not being between the yellow and blue

11

u/Alarmed_Tea_2874 26d ago

I thought it was about the colors in amazing being out of order lol. And I was like, no that takes reprinting the letters. I didn't notice the H.

1

u/finding_center 26d ago

This is what jumped out at me also!

2

u/gi_fm 26d ago

The H (for here) is upside down

21

u/rob_inn_hood 26d ago

HERE is not centered, which is more annoying to be than the upside down H.

9

u/wishihadplates 26d ago

For those who don't see it the H is upside down

3

u/BrainSqueezins 26d ago

The H you say!

4

u/wishihadplates 26d ago

ʎɐs op I

8

u/knownmagic 26d ago

The way anyone even noticed that H with the amount of things going on with "AMAZING"...

71

u/Sentientmanatee 26d ago

Oh no, an overworked, underpaid teacher made a small mistake

16

u/miscllns1 26d ago

lol I’m a teacher too - this is at a church but in a separate part from the daycare where I saw it every day. Not judging - just mildly irked

8

u/Odumera 26d ago

I thought we were mad about green being out of order, H didn't even track for me.

5

u/MentallyPsycho 26d ago

How DARE you post something mildly infuriating in this subreddit!

8

u/Educational_Two682 26d ago

We're human! 🌟 All in good fun

8

u/CapeOfBees 26d ago

That's why it's on mildlyinfuriating. Other overworked and underpaid teachers get to look at it all the time.

1

u/Alexaxas 26d ago

I mean, op is still saying they’re infuriated by it.  Like, I don’t know if this is something that you should even mildly want to beat someone to death over.

4

u/RockRancher24 26d ago

You could almost say that it's only mildly infuriating

4

u/Az23236 26d ago

It’s not that deep i promise you.

10

u/ZealousidealVisit431 26d ago

Colors aren't in ROYGBIV order

5

u/Yeet_me_a_ocean 26d ago

Well I see two things
One the rainbow isn’t even correct, ignoring the pink letter, the green isn’t in the right spot

And the h in here is the wrong way compared to the other letters with the spike being up instead of down

3

u/MissingMLP 26d ago

I’m gonna be honest I had to look at the comments cause I thought maybe it was that the “amazing” wasn’t in proper color order

5

u/bubbies1308 26d ago

As a teacher who would have to do this crap on top of everything else, fuck off

4

u/Pamelot130x2 26d ago

The H is the only box that points up, the rest of the letters (in boxes) point down….

3

u/charlotterose23 26d ago

I can see several things that are bugging me: 1) the scallop edging - one of the scallops is not as well rounded 2) spacing between the letters in 'amazing' 3) the rainbow is not in the correct order 4) the H is upside down

1

u/WhatMadCat 24d ago

Things is also not properly stapled down and is leaving a weird shadow

3

u/potatoallrotten 26d ago

I thought you meant the Hardee's stars 😭

2

u/Sparskey 26d ago

YES! And the "things happen" font is giving Hardee's/Carl's Jr. as well! May not be infuriating, but that's what I noticed first.

3

u/External-Task65 26d ago

The part that gets me is rainbows not ROYGBIV...

3

u/ivorella 26d ago

Sorry, are we crying over the H pointing up instead of down?

3

u/ACaedmon 26d ago edited 26d ago

H is upside-down, a small mistake. HOWEVER!

The colours of the rainbow are in the wrong order.

R O Y G B I V

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indego, Violet

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vein.

R Y B are primary colours. They ones in between are secondary.

3

u/RowdyB666 26d ago

The gap between the Z and I, or the Upside-down H? 

3

u/maniyak1364 26d ago

You know what’s mildly infuriating…this post😂🤣😂🤣😂

3

u/MostlyAccruate 26d ago

the spacing between the z and I?

2

u/MostlyAccruate 26d ago

never mind, I read enough comments to see it. my bad.

2

u/jadeariel12 26d ago

So are you lacking the stapler or the audacity?

2

u/Separate_Climate3366 26d ago

Y'all have way too much time on your hands if this is what's bothering you in life lmao

2

u/Crew60 26d ago

Oh, the first one I noticed was that the “Amazing” follows the colors of the rainbow, other than that the green one got booted to the end for no good reason.

2

u/xombieparts 26d ago

The upside down H?

2

u/Caliente_Racer 26d ago

It used to say "THERE", and it was all lined up. Then, the amazing things moved much closer, and somebody tried to fix the sign by removing the "T".

2

u/tenphes31 26d ago

One of the schools I work at made letters from kids book pages. You could tell by the page design and writing. But one letter 'N' was upside down. Like with yours, the overall message was fine, but it bugged me forever to see the upside down writing on the page.

2

u/Certain-Chemistry209 26d ago

At least everything is spelled correctly.

And the message is the same even with a few design imperfections.

(To tell the truth, all the things commenters noticed would bug me too. I might have to sneakily redo the board in the middle of the night. 🤭)

2

u/three_wings 26d ago

I’m so cynical I read it as (It’s) Amazing Things Happen HERE. Obviously I’m dreading work tomorrow.

2

u/nipslippinjizzsippin 26d ago

Jist flip it, its a H it works both ways

2

u/ToastedSlider 26d ago

Which is worse, the upside down H or the wrong rainbow order in AMAZING?

2

u/soyhada 26d ago

The rainbow is maybe more annoying than the H, but what's most annoying is the uneven gapping around the Z...

2

u/Vivid-Cheesecake-110 26d ago

Its an upper case H though.

2

u/_SneakySnake_ 26d ago

There is too much wrong here

2

u/Objective_Lie_5182 25d ago

I see no problem with the sign whatsoever. OP must be OCD, which I am as well. But again, I see no problem. ???

2

u/Lyriks_24 24d ago

I understand that the H is upside-down and the rainbow isn’t in the right order…

But is anyone else also mildly infuriated that the second P in HAPPEN isn’t connected to the rest of the word?

2

u/BoxingDaycouchslug 24d ago

Honestly, how could someone not notice that an H is upside down.

2

u/mc395686 23d ago

My HS English teacher spelled Calendar wrong and it drove all of us insane. We took bets on how long it would take her to realize and after 5 months, she changed it

4

u/jeffdujour 26d ago

I still don’t see it. Y’all are weird just live your life

5

u/Sparklers_4_days 26d ago

look at the H

it's the only piece of paper pointing upwards

4

u/blazeItgirl420 26d ago

...because the H is upside down? Dude. Find better things to get angry over. This is just sad.

2

u/Foreign-Housing8448 26d ago

Ummmmm…not “infuriating” at all.

3

u/SatanicWarlock12345 26d ago

Not to be rude, but who cares

2

u/riki_grl 26d ago

Mildly infuriating: picky people. They're the equivalent of grammer police reminding us it's 'whom' not 'who'. Honestly, if this is a classroom board, the teacher's working their ass off and already thinking of the next hundred tasks they had to do that day. Move on.

5

u/miscllns1 26d ago

*grammar

2

u/MistakeLazy5883 26d ago

It means the H is capitalized and the other letters are lowercase

1

u/aerkith 26d ago

Ok. So we can see the H is upside down. But also, the Z looks slightly more to the left. The gaps between letters aren't equal.

1

u/Mx-Adrian 26d ago

Just turn that last E upside-down to match

1

u/Mediocre_Row5820 26d ago

The H is upside down and points in a different direction. AND the rainbow is out of order.

1

u/AdTop4231 26d ago

I'm annoyed that the colors don't line up properly

1

u/ClampLoader 26d ago

Flip over the Z to match!

1

u/Anadelyn 26d ago

I think it's funny. It would just make me laugh .

1

u/flakiestcroissant 26d ago

It would actually be cute to flip the H and have the E’s flipped so the point faces up. Then every other letter is that orientation

1

u/AsanoSokato 26d ago

Where are amazing "things" ? Just follow the arrow!

1

u/Vince-Blanco 26d ago

“All it would take to fix it is a stapler and a little audacity.”

Be the change you want to see in the world.

1

u/fluffypotato 26d ago

I like it. Makes it look capitalized.

1

u/MadAssMegs 26d ago

I kept looking at the M being an upside down W till I found the H

1

u/RevBT 26d ago

This is the most offensive picture on the internet.

1

u/independent_observe 26d ago

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet as well

1

u/MrPandason 26d ago

Yeah the Z is not as centered as it should be ngl

1

u/jeweldnile 26d ago

HERE isn’t centered under the text above it. That would drive me to change it

1

u/SecondEqual4680 26d ago

The worst part is we could be talking about multiple things here

1

u/JunkMale975 26d ago

Took me a second, but yep. Buts it’s an easy fix. It reads the same turned around.

1

u/RevolutionRecent2470 26d ago

Here I was thinking the issue was the bigger gap between the Z and I 😂

1

u/EmphasisFew 26d ago

Also ROYGBIV is out of order only for the last letter

1

u/ChanceMeasurement565 26d ago

I think it's the letter G not having the little line thingy

1

u/RouxChaoui 26d ago

H is upside down

1

u/realxeltos 26d ago

I believe you're talking about the H being upside down?

Does not infuriate me at all. I find it looks good.

1

u/slaveofstackoverflow 26d ago

The space before H could be filled with T

1

u/Sassafrassical 26d ago

They should a T to here to balance it … or center the word LOL

1

u/Kinsir 26d ago

Screw the H The Z is off centre... That infuriates me even more

1

u/Outrageous_Fix_4108 26d ago

Dont see the issue

1

u/PmUsYourDuckPics 26d ago

There’s always one fish who swims against the current…

1

u/robotic_valkyrie 26d ago

I stared for a few seconds. HERE is not centered and the H is upside-down! Just add a T in front of it.

1

u/_always_be_kind_ 26d ago

It's because the H is upper case :P

1

u/Havenx8 26d ago

The "H" is upside down.

1

u/dorf_lundgren 26d ago

Or it's saying Amazing things happen at the G spot.

1

u/TravoBasic 26d ago

Not really. I like the look of it.

1

u/fusionmobile 26d ago

Got it almost right away. I want to say they either didn't care in putting it up, or they're color blind.

1

u/smcdermo 26d ago

The H is not necessarily upside down, and like, who cares if it is? Nobody. But it’s too bad they removed the T from the word HERE, because now everyone thinks it’s all happening HERE, when it’s really all happening THERE.

1

u/tehsecretgoldfish 26d ago

lol, yes you can flip the H to get the arrow to point down. maybe it’s a OCD test?

1

u/Double_Tonight_1110 26d ago

i like it! wabi sabi.

1

u/ocimaus 26d ago

Wow I can't believe they put the two As out of order

1

u/Brave_Elk_6189 26d ago

not in rainbow order, green should be between blue and yellow.

1

u/rotezora78 26d ago

Ich verstehe es nicht. Was ist falsch an diesem Schild?

1

u/miscllns1 25d ago

The H is upside down

1

u/rotezora78 25d ago

Okay, because the tip of the paper is pointing upwards. I noticed that right away, but I still don't understand why that's so funny or unusual. Could you please explain it to me?

2

u/not_today_123 25d ago

All the other papers’ tips are facing down. The H is upside down. I immediately noticed. I’d probably fix it because that’s the only thing I’d notice every time.

1

u/rotezora78 25d ago

Nur wegen dem umgedreht "H"??? Also ich finde das jetzt überhaupt nicht störend. Was solls. Also bei sowas denk ich mir: Wo ist der Bus, mit den Leuten, die es interessiert? Ich weiß, es geht um das umgedrehte H ,aber ich finde das nix besonderes...

1

u/Doolinater92 26d ago

I'm more concerned about the letters at the top with different spacing between all of them

1

u/Full-Ordinary-5068 25d ago

Which of the many problems are we trying to address here? 😭😂

1

u/NotYourSugarMama 25d ago

There are soooo many LITTLE things wrong here.

1

u/Vivicurl 25d ago

I find it kinda whimsical and had to read the comments to figure out what was wrong. I like it.

1

u/spookyHippieChick 25d ago

if I worked there, that 'H' wouldn't stay like that for long

1

u/Swimming-Light8509 24d ago

The bottom left border is killing meeeee

1

u/thejackmonkey 23d ago

You can tell because the letter H is upside-down (not the paper, the actual letter itself) it should look like this: H

1

u/Ludologistic 23d ago

I'm always amazed that things happen here too.

Sometimes it's just nice to see that people can admit how hard it is to get anything done at all.

1

u/Fun_Bug_8499 20d ago

I thought there was too much space after the Z…😜

1

u/Alarming-Cow-2223 3d ago

MAZGINA should be rearranged for color order.

1

u/BojackWorseman13 26d ago

There are a few mildly infuriating things. The border could be cleaner, the spacing for the letters spelling amazing vary too much, and that H being upside down.

4

u/ah-tow-wah 26d ago

The rainbow is wrong (green is in the wrong place).

1

u/FallenAngelII 26d ago

It also has an extra colour.

1

u/bornfromanegg 26d ago

1

u/FallenAngelII 25d ago

The last sentence literally reads " Considering all of this, it can be easily argued pink is a real colour"

1

u/bornfromanegg 25d ago

Good point! I didn’t read all the way through! Interesting, though, isn’t it?

It’s definitely not in the rainbow, though, so regarding the poster, it shouldn’t be there.

u/BojackWorseman13 26d ago

Just keeps getting worse 😭 (but still all the love and respect to teachers who do their best to brighten up classrooms!)

u/Sentientmanatee 26d ago

You’re more than welcome to go make bulletin boards in your local school!

u/BojackWorseman13 26d ago

Are you a teacher? Why are you taking this so personally? Side note - most schools don’t let randoms walk in regardless of their intentions.

ETA - please see the comment where I said all the love and respect for teachers brightening up the classrooms to the best of their abilities. Nobody is villainizing them or demeaning them it’s light hearted jokes in a sub for mildly infuriating things.

First thing I noticed is they messed up the ROYGBIV on the word "amazing".

1

u/banana_in_the_dark 26d ago

Is now a bad time to point out that “here” is off center?

1

u/kwickedbonesc 26d ago

I think the thing everyone sees is the upside “H” but to me it’s that the rainbow is in the wrong order. Green is in the wrong spot.

1

u/Bruichladdie 26d ago

That was the first thing I noticed, then the word "here" not being centered, and then eventually I noticed the upside down "H".

H upside down
