Turns Out, There’s A Facebook Page With 390K Followers Called ‘Adult Problems’, And Here Are 50 Of Their Best Posts
We should have trusted Peter Pan when he said, "Never grow up." Growing up is a trap. That's what it is. Once one becomes an adult, some often unpleasant things become inevitable. Spending most of the time working and having little time for yourself and your family, living paycheck to paycheck; these are just some common adulting problems. And while we could grumble about all the dreary things that come with adulthood, we could also ignore them for a while and look at the funny side of things. Those are adult problems that (spoiler alert) are not, in fact, actual problems, or at least not something to worry about.
The Facebook page Adult Problems does precisely that. The page's content is all about sharing First World problems and silly problems adults face daily. Funny jokes for adults, self-deprecating humor, and sometimes actual problems adults encounter that many can relate to is what the posts featured on this page are about. In fact, being an adult is very much about knowing the difference between actual and trivial problems that can be laughed about and not taken seriously.
Hence, to chuckle about the latter, we compiled the adult version of the First World problems list, which is pretty much just a compilation of funny jokes about being an adult. Saw a First World problem you can relate to? Make sure to give it an upvote. Also, what are some adult problems that you face regularly? Share them in the comments!

Stop penalizing kids (and adults) for missing school or work because of illness or family emergency.

My sister had mono and was home for a month once, she would have been home for longer had the school not threatened to report my parents to the government for not sending her anyway even though she really didn't feel well. 🤬🤬

I get it. Not everyone has the option of staying home with their sick kids tho. Help create a support system and you'll see less of this

It's easier said than done. No living family members, and the few that are can't take care of themselves. Am I going to ask fellow parents with kids who aren't sick to take in mine that's sick?

Please stay home if you're sick...you have sick days...stay home. This is coming from someone who was sick last week because someone was sick and came to work.

On a related note, stop coming to work sick! I don't want whatever it is you have.

Some times parents are stuck, they need to go to work for the money. It would be good if they told the school though. It's not often possible to move the sick kids away from the rest, but at least we can move them away from vulnerable children. Also, sick kids probably need not to be pushed hard in class. I'd personally like it if kids didn't come in to class wanting a hug - and then telling you they are sad because they are sick. And I'd love it if HR would understand when I get sick with a cocktail of germs I do not appreciate getting called in to explain why having kids cough and sneeze at me all day results in me getting sick.

Same goes for work, especially if you can work from home. If you don't feel well, please stay far away from me 😣

I'm home right now because my husband is sick and tested positive for Covid. I have tested negative but my symptoms are worsening and I just didn't want to pass this on to anyone at my office. I will retest but if I continue to feel this way even if I still test negative I'll stay home, even if this is just a wicked cold I don't want anyone else to get it

Nor is it the responsibility of anyone else to supply the things you can't afford. Teach your kids about the cost of living and give them your time and attention instead.

In economically challenged times, there is NO better weapon to ease your hunger than being able to convert low cost raw ingredients into a meal. Become self sufficient - know how to cook!

Exactly! People say “well if they don’t pay enough or value you, don’t work there, duh 🙄” but when people start standing up for themselves and refusing to work for s**t conditions it’s “nobody wants to work anymore, you’re all lazy.” We’re trying to change things here!

I use to do this. I liked it better. It's not just the time spent at work. It's also the time spent getting ready which includes enough sleep, clean clothes, bathing, time driving there and so on.

I can show you a tour of my home planet. Hedgehog planet have 50 hours a day, and guess what? We work eight hours and that’s it, the rest is for chillaxing. It sucks to be on Earth. I wanna go home if it’s not for this stupid experiment… oops. I shouldn’t have written that. No more internet for me today.

I swear some people never studied for the driver's test or even glanced at the book. EVERY. DAY. I encounter someone at a 4-way, who THEY got there 1st, and are to my right, so they should got 1st. Nope, they'll sit there and then wave me through.

Even when you wake up, your mind’s on work. Get home, eat dinner, do chores and you only have an hour to yourself. Depression sets in pretty quickly there. But if you try to bring it up, “oh kids these days are so lazy!”

My partner just turned 60 but is young for his age. His working week is 40 hours over 4 nights. He regularly does 5 or 6 nights if the giant worldwide internet based supplier of any item you wish to purchase needs extra staff. He walks over 20,000 steps per night so it’s keeping him fit but sleeps most of the day and we can’t enjoy the extra money the overtime pays because he’s at work at night and I work during the day. It’s all going into savings and huge gas and electricity bills!

for anyone who's also wondering: the little pipe in the big pipe is sucking air while fuel is pumped. When it can't suck air any more (because the fuel level touches the nozzle), it makes a springloaded ball drop inside that closes the valve.

My mom's a nurse. There were times growing up where we didn't see each other for an entire week even though we lived in the same house. When she worked night shift we never saw her. It's sad. She missed out on so much with us growing up and she's a single mom.

I have that guy. The radio was on today and he asked me if I remembered anything I did in 1995. I have a stupidly good memory but it was a big year for me as I graduated Uni, spent part of my summer in Greece then celebrated my 21st birthday. He started laughing and said he was still in high school with a few years to go. Then as he was leaving he wished me a merry Christmas as I won’t see him again until afterwards. Told him not to worry as even though I am on annual leave for most of the next 2 weeks I am still going to phone him every day, even on the weekends.

My friend got this worse. Her birthday was on Christmas, and it kinda sucked for everyone to go up to her and yell, ‘Hey girl, this random thing is the gift for your birthday, Christmas, and by the way Happy New Year ‘cuz you’re not getting anything new too!’ Which is why I am always deprived of money every Christmas to take her to eat cupcakes and birthday/Christmas stuff.
