50 Funny And Painfully True Memes That Anyone Who’s “30 And Tired” Might Understand Perfectly (New Pics)
In an interview with Vogue, Emma Watson said she has made the decision to "self-partner" herself in her thirties. Indeed, after entering this decade, you stop obsessing about what friends, neighbors, colleagues, and relatives might think of you and start picking and choosing who you hang out with and what for, preserving your energy and time for yourself because, let's face it, accumulating responsibilities is exhausting.
Nothing illustrates this period of life more vividly than the Instagram account '30 And Tired.' Whether you aren't yet part of the club, already belong to it, or have moved on to other ones, scrolling through its hilariously honest memes should help you get a better understanding of this hectic era.

Speaking Of
Two old men were talking. The first one said, " It's terrible. I pee every morning around six, and have a bowel movement every morning around seven." The second one asks, "What's so terrible about that?" First guy answers, "I don't wake up until eight!"
that's not to bad.. you could give the the plants in the garden little more nutrients from it. Needs mixing with water before, read before peeing straight into the garden :)
things water is really suppose to give: - clear skin (if applied externally) - weight gain (you simply intake some mass) - headache relief (if caused by dehydration) - prevent energy loss (from dehydration) - prevent memory loss (from dehydration) - pee
Don’t Say These Things To Me
This. But then I'll just need to pee a bunch so best I stay sitting upright and re-watching The Labrynth with the late, great David Bowie for the 1213th time.
Because this isn't our timeline. Something happened in the 2000s and we got shunted into a different and crazier timeline. It explains why we're all missing 10-20 years, the Mandela effect, and the sheer insanity of some people. (I don't really believe this. Well, only when the Moon is full.)
Just the other day, someone said to me "10 years ago..." and I said "Oh, you mean 1990?" and he said "No, that would be 1993" - so he gets me !!!
It's honestly a bit disconcerting that the amount of time between "my birth" and "the second World war" is less than between "my birth" and "today".
You shouldn't feel bad if you relate to these memes, too.
When you're in your twenties and fresh out of college, you might be in some form of debt (from student loans or blowing an entire paycheck on rent) and perhaps you're also struggling to find a meaningful career. But this decade is made for mistakes, and the confusion, disappointment, and ego-bruising that come along with them.
But when you're in your thirties, you might feel as if you're in the "adult camp", and begin to pressure yourself to figure everything out.
Not My Bag, Not My Problem
By the time it gets to the baggage carousel, they know it is bomb free, drug free and most likely contains dirty washing. They just want it gone.
You mean the airport don't care at the time if someone else steals it?
Load More Replies...This is weird, true and I've never thought about it before.
That's because at that point its no longer about threats to airline corporate assets and is only a threat to individual passenger belongings, and no one gives a f**k about you as an individual.
This is so true. I don’t get there quickly to get my bag, I get there quickly because I don’t want anyone else to get it
I have been to a couple of airports over the years where they staple a numbered ticket to each piece of baggage you check to your boarding pass envelope (and corresponding stickers on the luggage) and at the other end they check to make your the bag(s) you are taking matches the numbered stubs you were given. But those were exceptions not the norm.
hard case suitcase with a padlock is a must, or maybe I'm over anxious. xD
If there is not a TSA-lock, you risk have it brocken in to if someone in the airport wanna look? At least in some places? like USA
Load More Replies...I Regret Nothing
Make the plan, but at the same time trying to figure out a good excuse for backing out later that doesn’t sound completely made up. How often can I cancel because I “feel a sore throat coming on” and it maaaaaaay be Covid so I’m being uber responsible to not spread it which at the same times shows you how much I deeply care about you?
We’re All Pretty Cool Tho
Don't dress the same, fo sho. Work me has earrings, mascara and cute blazers. Home me has jam on her cheek and a mysterious stain on her sneakers.
Work me has a bra, outside me has a shirt that no one can tell there's no bra, home is absolutely no bra.
Oh yeah. Home is all about freeing the twins.
Load More Replies...So true! Do I want to be nice today for money in the service industry? Do I I have energy to forage for mushrooms on a hike? Or, do I just want to sit around looking like Gollum eating Cheezits while contemplating every unwanted social setting I've had to put up with? Tough decisions! Think I'll chill with my cat!
Younger colleague learned that a few weeks ago. Different Work-Show is much less keen to even slightly foul language and bad jokes than Freetime-Show. "Wow... you're like a completely different Person!!" - o.ô you don't say? We're in a completely different Situation, luv.
As writer Julia McVeigh pointed out, the permission to fail seems to have been stripped away and now is the time to reach all the traditional milestones that we associate a successful life with.
This includes — but is certainly not limited to — an impressive title to update your LinkedIn page with, a fulfilling relationship, an incredibly fun wedding; cute but undemanding children, and a house with multiple bedrooms for all of them.
Those who fail to meet these ambitious milestones may feel inadequate, especially during their class reunion where people often measure themselves against each other.
Just Gonna Set It To Delicate And Hope For The Best
This is why I don't buy anything that says those forbidden words.
Same with kitchen items that say “hand wash only” or “do not microwave”
Load More Replies...I mean washing machines have a delicate cycle so that's good enough; there's also hand washing. If it can't survive me washing it then it can't survive me wearing it and should not be in my possession
I've had plenty of things that say "dry clean only" that have survived my washing/laundry machine just fine.
At-home dry cleaning kits are the best for this (a spray for stains, throw it in the dryer with a dry-cleaning wipe, boom! Done)
This means it will never be cleaned and I'll only throw it away when it becomes unwearable
Dry clean only translates as: wear it as many times as possible before it gets manky, then wash it carefully by hand, then get brave and put it in the machine on delicate
Load More Replies...My washer, dryer, and myself all laugh in unison after I've read this aloud.
So Long Money. I Hardly Knew Ye
My bank deducts the pending payment from my available balance. But I hate how Amazon does their payment. My check out amount was 200.00 why do they have to take 20 here, 40 there and so on, just take it all at once. I know this has to do with their shipping but its still annoying,
Wells Fargo I’m looking at you with the staggered deposits and ranked payments! I HATE WELLS FARGO. Whew! This triggered me something awful 😞
You would hate living in Germany. I certainly do. You go to the doctor with private insurance and then get a Bill. And another. And another. Why cant I pay just after?
This Post Is Brought To You By My Wife
LOL I can so relate. My husband;s butt is glued to the couch until I'm in the kitchen and then suddenly he has an important story to tell me that he must make eye contact with me and grab some ice tea. GET OUT!
My fiancé does this! Our fridge and stove face each other with the stove on an island in the middle of the kitchen. He will park his butt against the fridge while I am cooking to talk to me. I told him to get out of my kitchen (funny part is I moved in with him, he owns the house, I own and rent out a place near by to family). He always goes "your kitchen?" to which I say, "The day you cook more meals than me we can discuss joint custody"
Load More Replies...My version is "Behind every great man is a woman, kicking him up the clacker"
Other side of the coin - as I always tell Mrs. TriSec - "The best way you can help me with dinner is to get out of my kitchen."
I'm the cook in my family, and it's 2 or 3 kids that are blocking that drawer, but otherwise that's right!
If my husband gets there after me, he chases me out, and I wait patiently til he's done. What is wrong with me
Horray! I am not the only one. my hubby is worse than a cat under foot in the kitchen. I usually point to one spot and demand. 'Stay over there".
Do Try To Keep Up
I'm very guilty of this. I frequently am informed that the 'other day' I'm referring to was over a year ago
My "some time ago" which is how we say the same thing in my language was all the way in the year 2016 last month. Kind of a wake-up call 😅
Load More Replies...And a few days ago could be yesterday to birth as well. I have no sense of time since retiring due to disability in 2011. None. Zero. Nada.
For me, the other day could be anything between yesterday and four weeks ago. A while ago, anything up to five years, and once, it's from birth to 2 minutes ago.
I was thinking, the other day, then it was last year, then about a decade ago. I don't want to sound old. BUT I do want to BE old. I want to live a long long time.
Annie Wright, LMFT, who is a licensed psychotherapist and relational trauma recovery specialist, said that she has heard some iteration of the question "Why does life feel so much harder in your thirties?" nearly a hundred times now.
According to her, being alive in a mortal body, loving other people in mortal bodies, all the while making our way in a world that requires money to pay bills and so on and so forth is hard as it is.
But she suggests that life might be even harder in your 30s for those of us who come from relational trauma backgrounds.
Being In Bed At 8pm Sounds Glorious
I have both an inner stroppy teenager, an inner old lady, and an inner cat that just lazes about all day and is judgy af. :')
I know the choice is up to the cat, but would you like to be my friend? we have a lot in common...

Ah Yes…. That’s The Good Stuff
A true moment of zen. Bonus points if you've got a pet somewhere nearby, equally excited to be doing nothing.
Correction: excited to position its jaw on your knee and look at you like he's never had any food in his entire life.
Load More Replies...And your drink, napkins,, phone and computer are near so there’s no getting up and down😂
Phone: "Low Battery - 10% Battery Remaining" Me: "Shhh just die, It's ok. I'm not getting up just so outsiders can reach me."
Load More Replies...Oh wow, how precise is this, I usually put YouTube on to watch/hear something like a video podcast, my mind is too focused on my food at that point I can only listen
Yes, before I start cooking dinner, I have my movie/series planned and set up. This way I can sit down and just hit play.
Forgot the drink 🎵🎶forgot the fork 🎵forgot paper after i spilled on the sofa 🎶 and now i need to pee😪
If I Hear A Song I Can’t Remember Might As Well Make It A Good 2-3 Hours
I hit pause, then go to google to search and then be on my phone for an hour before resuming the movie 🙄
Yeah. Usually find myself on a Wikipedia article about their lives. Which leads to another article about someone else. Now we're on to Blackbeard (Edward Teach)...

Oh Look It’s 11pm, Time For Bed
If I don't set the alarm I'll be anxious, and then I cannot sleep at all, worrying if I'll overslept
And then when you do wake up you have sleep inertia and feel worse than before you took a nap.
Load More Replies...When you go to bed before 10pm and you wake up thinking you've had several hours and it still isn't midnight yet.
And then you get excited because you have so much more time to sleep!
Load More Replies...Nothing worse than lying down bout noon for a quick 60 minutes of rest and waking up to total darkness. G d it.
And not knowing if it's that night or the next morning.
Load More Replies...Take a nap in the afternoon in the winter. Get woken up when it's dark and told it's after 6. AM or PM? Who knows?
love that game.... fortunately I don't (or unfortunately depending on one's perspective) have the same responsibilities as many others do, family, partner,work or even a bloody social life to be honest (I have my reasons,just the way my life is and has worked out for me... I'm ok with it and accept it,comfortable with my own company)
I set a "must be up by" alarm and start napping or sleeping waaaaay earlier than needed. 12 to 15 hour time slot for sleep and naps. I never get to sleep that much due to insomnia but I have plenty of time to try.
I set my alarm for medication, doesn't mean I'll actually get out of bed and get it.
To illustrate her point Wright gives this example: if life is a proverbial house, built upon a proverbial foundation, those of us who come from relational trauma backgrounds nearly always have cracks in our proverbial foundations that others who come from non-trauma backgrounds do not have at all (or in greatly reduced ways).
And cracks in the proverbial foundation can make the proverbial house less sound, less stable, and more difficult to live in (so to speak).
Rise And Take It Easy While I Complete All My Tasks In A Timely Fashion
They were actually sick in this episode 😅 but they do look cozy out of context 😊
The blankets seem to say "we all almost drowned" but I don't know the back story
Load More Replies...Getting old really is any form of cradling a mug of warm drink with both hands & muttering nonsense about the weather.
Winter mornings in the UK. That's what this is. xP desperately clinging onto those warm blankets from bed whilst trying to warm up with a cuppa.
This makes me think Gandalf is about to knock and ask them to join him on a great adventure.
My Precious
Happens in the blink of an eye. And that eye now requires devices to see properly.
To be fair I started wearing glasses when I was 3. It's been downhill from there on though.
Load More Replies...I was 24, and I got mad that I left one of my best/biggest cake tubs at a venue around 200 miles from home after attending a friends wedding. (she had a tier of cupcakes rather than a full wedding cake, so I helped bake some cupcakes along with some other people who enjoyed baking, and we decorated them on the day before the ceremony :P ) and now that I'm 27 I'm still mad about losing that tub.
My mum bought me a select few Tupperware items for Xmas last year- and I recently found out my friend and current housemate decided one of them was PERFECT as her dogs water bowl! Despite there being a full selection of $2 plastic takeaway containers available!- needless to say, my mum won't be hearing about it, I'll probably just blame the Tupperware stealing gnomes that frequent my house!
Not me! I have about 7 Tupperwares. Of course... I have about 384 lids... 😅
Never mind all that, is this pic from Labyrinth or Dark Crystal? It's been ages since I've seen either.
Just please use glass for at least the part that comes into contact with the food.
Glass tuppenware would be better, the plastic stuff leashes plastic, but they're hard to find. Also the lids slip off and they're hard to carry.
Load More Replies...But it's all stuff you borrowed from your parents and never gave back... Or at least that's where mine comes from
Load More Replies...It’s Friday Friends
Yep, work clothes off first thing, then I I wash my hands and forearms and face , then dinner, and chill
Everything comes off (except the underpants) and gets replaced with stay-at-home clothes sans socks. Paradise ♥
My son starts shedding clothes at the front door by the time he hits his bedroom hes in his underwear.
I Still Expect An Invite Though
Pick up religion. Then you can "pray about it" and "see how the spirit leads me"
I like to use: "I'll see if the wife has any plans, we should be able to go! That sounds like a blast!" - Won't ask her, hopefully you'll forget, that's my couch time I can't cancel it..
Absolutely! Ooh I'll have to check his calendar I'll get back to you
Load More Replies...Let’s not forget, some enjoyable social activity on the calendar for 6 months from now. I’m not going.
Me recently: "Oh man, I wish I could." and never tell them why
"A relational trauma background, as I define it, is trauma that results over the course of time in the context of a power-imbalanced and dysfunctional relationship (usually between a child and caregiver) that results in a host of complex and lingering biopsychosocial impacts for the individual who endured the trauma," Wright explains in Psychology Today.
Hello Old Friend
or if you're travelling across rural asia and finally find a clean western style toilet...

How Dare Y… What The Fu… Imma Need A Minute
Yup...... I got teased HORRIBLY for my f***y pack back in the day, and now they're all over the place
Except the '60s were an incredible paradigm shift and pivot-point for societies, politics and pop-culture. The '90s was....too much lime-green with orange, and Hypercolour.
No it's not. It's not. I refuse to play this game. The 90s were yesterday.
Oh my. Bp. You’re not making my 50 yo a*s feel old enough. Ugh stop launching missle attacks in my direction please
I remember talking about the 60s in the 90s. This is a wee bit of a "f*k I'm getting older" thing.
That’s The Good Stuff

Load More Replies...Bro When Have I Ever Needed The Ingredients For A Remoulade?
Also, the me who cooks dinner on Monday isn't the same me cooking on Friday. Dinner? It's called a big heaping plate of figure it tf out.
Yep. The classic 'look, I don't know...but it's a balanced meal' dinner.
Load More Replies...Yes, thank you. I'm Gordon Ramsey in the grocery store, Chef Boyardee on the streets.
Also the me who wants to be snacking at night instead of munching on carrots because the me who went for grocery shopping was a total idiot who thought that I want to live a healthy life 😠
The me that cleans the kitchen afterward is ghosting the rest of the me's.
I used to cook, pre-covid. Then I lost smell and taste (early, before it was a known symptom). Taste returned, mostly, but by then my husband had taken over cooking. Three years later he still cooks our meals - not fancy, but who cares anymore? Costco is just a mile away with rotisserie chicken!
"Let's see. I could make breakfast for dinner. Ooo I could make spaghetti. Burgers sound good too. Lol nahhh come here cereal.."
SO TRUE! - although I blame this on the fact that I have chronic pain- so sitting at home in my comfy chair or bed and planning what I'd like to cook this week, is a totally different etc thing to when I actually have to try and stand in front of the stove and cook something lol
and then there's the me that has to pay for them and that's depressing given how expensive everything is getting. :(
And they absolutely never discuss anything amongst themselves before proceeding.
The psychotherapist said that these biopsychosocial impacts stemming from a trauma background can and often include:
- Maladaptive beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around you. For example: “I’m too broken to be loved, no one will ever love me.” Or, “No one can be trusted; everyone always leaves me," or "The world is out to get me. I have to be on guard.”
- Maladaptive behaviors to cope with intolerable feelings (feelings of vulnerability, loneliness, fear, etc.). For example: developing an eating disorder, engaging in risky sexual behaviors, becoming obsessive about work, or using substances to numb out.
I Had My Realization That I’m Old When I Looked At A Pair Of Dr. Scholls Shoes And Thought “Damn Those Look Comfy As Hell”
Got really excited with my cleaning supplies
Load More Replies...Remember when light bulbs were just light bulbs? I spent a half a day learning about lumens and kelvins so I could get the right brightness and color for an led. Maybe I was just overthinking it all, idk. And toilets. First time buying a toilet on my own. Aqua piston flush, class 5 flush, siphonic vs washdown, trap size, etc. And I had to look up everyone one of these features to see what they were all about and which was better. I'm 53. Wasn't a toilet just a toilet back in the day?
I beg to differ…my children tell me I’m old all the time. Not that I need to hear it, usually I’m the one saying it and they’re just emphatically agreeing with me. I’ll be 38 in a few days.
When the Dyson Ball was new, I saw a commercial and said, "ooooh... wait, am I... s**t."
When there were kids in the house, we had favorite spoons, forks and knives. Favorite plates, bowls, cups and glasses. And that was just me (I’m mom). Later it graduated to include favorite pots and pans and favorite burners. And now that it’s just me, I will kick myself if I use them outside of regular meal times. 😂
I only recently realized I was old--when on a two hour drive, I noticed I'd left my blinker on three different times. Who does that? That isn't something I've ever done before and the other day I did it THREE times.
Or when you see someone in the parking lot and you feel a tad sorry for them because they look kind of old and a bit sore / gimpy. And then you realize they look like they are about your age and YOU are also a bit sore /gimpy and that is probably what other people see when they see you walk into the store.
I realized I'm old when I got excited over trying a new oven cleaner spray. I marveled about how good it smells like it's Chanel N°5.
Oh Shit My Exam! Wait.. I’m 33.. I Haven’t Been In School For Over 10 Years
Then you check, and you got so much freaking time, but your brain won't shut the eff back up so you can go back to sleep!
it was so weird waking up at 2 am the other day thinking it was 6 am
then you see you have 5min left, so you’re left to decide whether you should go back to bed or just get up 5 min earlier
32 here and I still wake up in a panic thinking about some imaginary school assignments I haven't completed yet. Finished college nearly a decade ago so I don't know when this anxiety will end :(
The best is when you are not quite awake yet & think the alarm must be due to ring in a few minutes. You look at the clock & still have 2 hours to sleep, yay!
Shhhhshshsh! Do You Hear That??

I had a treehouse I built myself. Once when I was up there with my best friends, the ice cream. truck rolled by, playing it's music. One of my friends (not ne!) yelled out "STOP!" and he did. Of course we were all just giggling while he yelled "Alright, I know you are around here somewhere...We never did that again.
My package delivery truck beeps (it's not the horn, it just beeps for some reason, I don't even know why it beeps). Loudly. But it does make me run to the window, so I'll take it!
My driver toots twice when he stops, toots twice when he goes.

*to the tune of adventures of the gummi bears* "Amazon! Boxes here and there and ev'rywhere! Online shopping that's beyond compare! Your order right to your door!"
Yes but imagine the disappointment when there is NO ice cream. Sad panda
Mine kind of does. The back-up beep from the truck that comes through my neighborhood is messed up, and it sounds more like a squawk then a beep. No mistaking when the Amazon deliveries are here!
Go Ahead. Read. What. It. Says
This actually happened last summer to me... we have a saw tooth oak tree in our back yard, but its acorns kind of look like buckeyes. I knew it was a saw tooth oak tree but my mom, grandpa, and sister (who's never seen a buckeye in her life) all insisted that it was a buckeye tree. I had a buckeye nut that I showed to them and compared it to the acorns but they insisted it was just a darker buckeye. My mom told me to stop arguing and made me feel stupid, in front of my grandpa, too. We got home and I looked it up on my computer and showed it to them, and finally proved them wrong. Felt so good. (Sorry for the paragraph, I love to explain things in detail!)
me too.....typing words and saying those words often don't seem to add up do they,just saying something simple then comparing it to the written word doesn't seem right does it
Load More Replies...First episode of this year’s Bake Off, and Dame Prue goes “Nicky, tell us about your beaver!” Epic!

damn right !!!! sometimes a point needs to be proven and a line drawn in the sand!!!! 😉👍
Load More Replies...As well as:
- Challenges with emotional regulation and appropriate emotional expression skills. For example: feeling easily triggered often, experiencing explosive rage, feeling a lack of feelings altogether, and being unable/unwilling to share your emotions with others.
- Attachment wounds. For example: developing an avoidant, anxious, or disorganized (as opposed to secure) attachment style in response to the non-secure relational experiences endured.
And most of us only realize how faulty our proverbial foundation is once we arrive in our 30s (and sometimes 40s).

as long as it hasn't got mold or anything, sometimes lightly wetting a piece of somewhat stale bread and then putting it in the microwave softens/ refreshes it so it tastes a bit fresher, so honestly, bread rarely gets thrown out in my family. xD

ok , right here goes....it's actually more natural for humans to wake during the night and have a snack /drink etc even get up for an hour....the notion of "8 hours sleep, straight through" only came about during the industrial revolution,for factory workers,shift workers etc....it runs contrary to our natural circadian rhythm which humankind has had since the dawn of time......as with above #24 , Google it 😁😉👍

Load More Replies...I've finally gone from too young to "You should expect that at your age" for the same things I've had for 44 years
This is because when we’re young and growing up—as a teen and young adult—our proverbial house of life, built upon whatever foundation we have, is usually a single-story house, not a multi-level house, and thus we don't feel the cracks in the foundation quite as much.

I Remember When Movie Tickets Were $4.25
who remembers when you go go see a concert for 50 bucks. 20 for ticket, 20 for band shirt and 10 for beer
I remember when it was $20 for a 'concert' $5 for a t-shirt and $2 for a beer (but only $1 in the pub).This is why I don't go out any more; even IF I could afford it, which I can't.

Load More Replies...I remember when going to the movies as a kid cost ten cents on a Saturday. Six cartoons, three Three Stooges and two movies. You didn't get out until 6 pm.
I stopped buying paperbacks when they went above $1. Much better to live in the past, when it was cheaper!

Hey, if they didn't use Google maps as a back up that is NOT ON YOU.
Load More Replies...This is me. I always felt so stupid when people would ask me what street something was on. Especially when I lived in the town my whole life.
Load More Replies...Oh man let me tell you how devastating it is when those landmarks change; the utter confusion is maddening. Doesn't matter I could drive the route in my sleep because not having that landmark is like it's strange new territory
Before they all closed, directions in the UK used to be by pubs. So; turn right at The Bald Hind, then straight on to The Dolphin, if you see The Rose and Crown you've gone too far!
Could you please explain what a Bald Hind is? For someone not from the UK
Load More Replies...basic non electronic navigation skills will never let you down.... please learn some, you'll thank yourself
True, Andy but, trying to accurately relate that navigation can be tricky.
Load More Replies...Well, it depends....are you polite ? I'll give you directions to where you're going.......if you're a jerk...I'll send you 20 miles out of your way in the wrong direction.
I don't know streets or landmarks but can reliably travel to all sorts of obscure places as long as I've been there before with someone who actually knew how to find it. I don't remember that I have to turn at the AM/PM with the crooked sign, but when I see it I know that's where to turn. Drives people crazy that I can't give any sort of directions but always can get where I'm going.
I dont drive but people will ask me for driving directions in spite of the fact i tell i dont drive.

Why Didn’t I Think Of That?
Great at giving advice and being insightful and realistic on what would help a person, but can I follow my own advice? Of course not. I know what I should do, I just have zero follow through
I came up with a "wise saying" on the spot when I was helping a friend out during a break up. They looked so inspired in the moment and felt happier. For the love of everything with holes in it, I cannot remember what I had said but I felt like a damn monk as I said it...
Me Staying Out Past 9
I can barely party like I did in my 40’s. (Shhh, close to 60 now) why do I feel like I’m still growing up?
Lol. That's me right now. Just 2 drinks last night and I still feel like death at 5 opm.
Same for me at 4:30 PM (16:30 :) ), AND I'm on my 6th bottle of water. (refillable of course)
Load More Replies...I'm in my late 20's (coming up 28 in december ;-;) and I guess I've never been a partier, but I'd still die if I tried
Partying now in my 40’s actually feels much better 🙂 Because better clubs, oldie but goodie music, proper snacks, no alcohol, plenty of dancing and happy people around and I have money for a taxi afterwards 🙂🙂🙂 Oh, right, it’s probably having somewhat decent income instead of being hopelessly poor that makes the difference 😂

Yeah, that scenes way scarier than the cake scene
Load More Replies...She was brilliant in Children of Men, very nice and not scary at all. The mark of a great actress.
Fun fact, the Olympic year on her shirt is the same Olympic year that the Munich massacre happened
I always found the Trunchbull oddly attractive. In a scary violent way.
I think we just learned more about you than you may have wanted to let on

Cats too. Like, "you tired from all the sleeping and shredding that toilet roll earlier booboo? Mkay do you."
When my baby kitty takes a deep sigh at the end of the day after I've been away at work, I always go, "What is it, my little freeloader? Times tough?"
My cat sleeps all day so she can get the zommis and step on me all night.

This isn't getting old, this is OCD, friends. Getting old is "Eh, I've got insurance. It'll probably be fine."
But what about at the airport coming back from your holiday? “I’m pretty sure I haven’t packed £2m of cocaine in my luggage!”
Load More Replies...Not OCD, just that you've repeated something so often for so long you don't pay attention any more. Then you actually don't remember.
My husband last night let the dog out before we head up for bed while I tend to the cat, that morning he said ‘ hey genius you left the door unlocked last night’ , my response……..priceless

Load More Replies...Presses FOB button. Car responds by locking itself via the world's loudest horn honk. 5 seconds later... Did I lock the car?
Yup.....at least three times for the front door and the stove...finally figured out that if I touch the cold burners, I remember that one better. However, the car only needs two " beeps " to know it's locked......I know, this sounds weird and yet sad at the same time.
I'm at the age where, when locking my door; I have to say "top lock" when I lock the deadbolt and "bottom lock" when I lock the handle. If I say it out loud, I remember, if I don't; I get to the car and question if I have locked up or not.
*pops Aleve* Im In My Prime
I’m 42 as well, and I am referring to 30 yo as “them kids”, and dating someone under 30 just feels gross and like they’re underage 😂
Load More Replies...Calling people old is just stupid. You do want to get there as well right??
I just told my daughter that as I get older it gets more awkward to take off my clothes in public (I was at a Dr apt) and she said as she gets older she cares less. I had to inform her she’s not permitted to use the “as I get older” until she’s 35. She’s 24, I didn’t care about taking my clothes off then either

Load More Replies...2 AM.The hour when you believe you will die because you have a paper cut.
great tip,try randomly wriggling your toes (just toes not feet) and focus on that when the "thoughts" start,it distracts the mind,for about 10secs a time, you'll be surprised how effective it is (,takes a bit of practice,but once you get the hang of it...it works wonders) ,I think it comes from a technique used to combat jetlag. alternatively, there's a visualization technique...in your minds eye picture/imagine yourself getting out of bed and slowly getting dressed all the while seeing yourself doing every little action,then "when dressed,go out for a walk in the cold dark night" can also do a similar exercise but picture yourself going very mundane tasks, repeat if necessary ie: washing up by fans,vaccuming etc....they do work, have used them for years when really struggling to sleep....good luck 👍
Bro…
Mine is a sort of dish purgatory where cups and plates go to await judgment.
Load More Replies...Michael is correct here. It's referencing the tracks of the dishwasher: its tracks. Not it is tracks.
Load More Replies...Wife and I were just buying a new dishwasher. How well the racks stayed where they were supposed to was a major deciding point.
The rage I feel when people do not know the difference between 'its' and 'it's'.
“If my TRAY falls off the tracks, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up. Let’s go!”
Don't have a dishwasher but when the ferrets pull out the drying rack it's abrasive for sure

So Long Souvenir California Coffee Mug. I Hardly Knew Ye For A Day
I brought out a nice mug that had gold on the edges to start using everyday. Dad checked before putting it in the dishwasher because he was worried it would ruin it. I explained it was pointless it spending another three years on a shelf not being used and there was no way I was handwashing it all the time, so whatever happened happened. It went through fine even after multiple washes, then I dropped it on the floor and it smashed! Got a good three months out of it though lol.

Load More Replies...Nah. I just take phots with my phone of stuff I like when I'm in stores and then about a month before my birthday and again before Christmas I just write down what I took photos of and where I took the photo. Sometimes I even managed to have the pricetag on the photo so I can write something like "*item* seen for $dollars at store". Works for me and I can usuallly divide my wish list into smaller lists so each of those who will get me a present will get different lists to shop from so... nothing has to get returned. Not returning anything is a major win, imo. 😁
Giftcards. For a Bookshop, craftshop, grocer, drugstore, petshop... anything. Or choose something by yourself - I will at least appreciate it. But plz... Don't ask me, I don't know...
