When we were children, adulthood seemed full of wonders, freedom, cake for dinner and the ability to drive. This is all very true, but growing up often means understanding that some of the real parts of adulthood are just enjoying the mundane, as incomprehensible as that might seem to younger folks.

We’ve gathered a collection of all the random hilarious and relatable things that people go through as adults. So get comfortable as you scroll, upvote your favorite posts and be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

I'm thinking of taking the huge stack of boxes I have to the landfill....just this morning. And this post reminds me to keep all the "good" boxes, which just so happens to be ALL of them.

I saw a cardboard box in the garage the other day. Stopped and calculated: its 25 year old.Not the same stuff in it. It is a really good box.

Its called 'Repurposing" and its good for the environment. Instead of throwing it in the trash you keep and reuse it. maybe to store stuff in maybe for the cat, maybe to send something to someone else. Its a great way to be 'green'.

    And they arrange things very annoyingly. Like Walnuts can be found in 5 different aisles in my local Tesco. Why? I assume to prevent easy price comparison. (for the disbelieving: Baking, whole foods, world foods, produce, and seasonal).

    At some point in time you will decide that you just don't care what you wear, whether or not you put on makeup, and yes, that music IS too loud for you to be able to see. So, from my point of view, it isn't all down hill, more like rolling hills, example: No more monthly cycle 🙂, you are now blessed with hot flashes, cold flashes, and the ever fun night sweats. You quit getting carded for alcohol, but you don't drink much because it can mess with your daily medications. You get to play with your grandcats, granddogs, and grandchildren and spoil them, but then they go home and you miss them. My advice, don't worry about the passage of time, each day is precious, be glad for what you have and send kindness into the world.

    The only time the supermarkets near me rearrange, it's to move the gluten free stuff. They can't seem to decide whether to keep them with the health food, in their own section, or dispersed with everything else. Drives me crazy!

    Drives me crazy when they mix it in with everything else. I don't want to walk down the aisle of delicious looking bread to get to my sad little gluten free loaf. And I imagine regular bread buyers don't want a g-free one in the way because they're not going to buy it.

    C.S. Lewis famously wrote “When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” As a kid, this might seem incomprehensible, since kid-stuff pales in comparison to the massive amount of options adults have.

    Many people are hit with a sense of disappointment when they reach adulthood. Yeah, you are “free,” but now you have bills to pay, responsibilities, the dishes, the laundry and whatever other never-ending list of chores one has to deal with daily.

    So annoying when you have to tip out a basket of clean clothes because you need it to take the next lot on/off the line! Not sure about the washing & drying times though. My machine the shortest 'time' listed is 44mins, but it always takes a lot longer than that and I dry on the line, so time depends on weather.

    However, most folks will also discover the joys of adulthood. That freedom is still a wonderful feeling, something that you almost take for granted until, for example, you visit your parents house and start to remember all the rules that once dictated your life. There is nothing like coming home to your favorite stove top burner and putting away dishes your way.

    I once left before a comedy show because the queue was too long and it was obvious we wouldn't get in in time. (We've already waited almost an hour before the queue even moved.) Friends thought I was crazy as we had bought the tickets in advance. I left and had burgers instead. Awesome burgers.

    In my mind places can now have high ticket prices OR long lines. If I've paid a fortune to go somewhere, you better have hired enough staff to get me inside promptly. If you offer a premium queue jump service, only sell enough tickets that it doesn't form its own queue. $100+ theme park tickets with 3 hour queues to do what you came for? Hill no

    It’s also pretty illuminating to start truly learning things yourself. Often this comes from experience, but it’s still useful. Young-adult-hood is about making mistakes and getting certain things “out of your system.” We might cringe at our younger selves, but it was a learning period at the end of the day.

    I was recently guessed to be 30 (I am 49). But then I realized the person who guessed was 17 and she probably thought anyone older than 30 needs a walker.

    When I was in hospital, my lovely roommate asked how old my kids were. When I said my oldest was 24, she flipped out. She said, "I thought you were about 25." I just turned 50. But my roommate was 75. I've lost the ability to accurately figure someone's age. I imagine that gets worse by 75.

    I told a younger colleague once that husband and I were going to London to celebrate being together for thirty years. The colleague virtually SHOUTED at me "THIRTY YEARS?!?". He probably thought I was 35-40 years old, and the math didn't add up in his head. I was 48.

    Oh, and when I, as around 8 or 10 years of age, read about the tallest man in the world, Robert Pershing Wadlow, in the Guiness Book of Records, I didn't register that dying at age 22 was VERY young. I just thought he died as an adult, but now, at age 55, I think he was barely more than a child, although a 2 meters and 72 centimeters tall child.

    Agreed. I got into some bad habits when I was on a med that made me crave salty and sweet foods at night. Now even when I don't have those sort of snacks in the house (and don't take the med anymore), I can't stop thinking about them around that time and my will power isn't as good as it was before that.

    Worst injury I got was when the left handlebar slammed backwards and tried to take my thumb off. 6 weeks in a cast, and then 6 months of physical therapy to get it working again. Lost a little bit of range of motion, but otherwise no lasting effects. I was able to keep it a secret from my mom for over ten years. Then one day the subject of hand injuries came up, and my mouth said “when I broke my thumb” before my brain could catch up to it and redirect it.

    Only true if you don't have your own kids. If you have kids, you start to realize the differences between the ages. So before I had kids, everyone who was 20 years younger the four older than me looked like they were the same age. Now that my kids are grown up I can give you approximate ages for kids I see on TV or out in the mall or whatever, but only up to the age of my eldest. If you are older than her but still 20 years or more younger than me, I just call you her age.

    On Halloween, the neighbors on the other side came 'round with their two little kids. They're very nice people. However, my brain insists they're around 20 years old, maybe 24 MAXIMUM. I know logically that they're closer to my age (42) but they look younger and I cannot convince my brain that they've got to be at least in their 30s XD I also could not tell you how old their oldest child is. The toddler is toddler (2 or 3) but the oldest kid? Could be 6, could be 10; how does one tell these things? XD

    Hmm that's not the case with aldi here except obviously for the middle aisles which are a treasure trove of miscellaneous goodies which is to be expected!

    I did this in my 70's. The grocery store I usually shop at is 20 miles away. They opened a new store (same grocery) 20 miles the other way. I couldn't find anything without going through the whole store many times.

    Lift with your legs not your back, peeps!! And 8-9hr sleep at least is essential for normal functioning. If you’re thinking, no it’s not! I survive off 4hrs… then you’re just looking at me from the past and it’s not a healthy thing. Look what good it did to Margaret Thatcher, Adolf Hitler- both were strong proponents for surviving off minimal sleep.

    I have a friend almost 60 who literally can have 15 people turning up at the door at any time. It was quite stressful living with him, he has so many, many friends and acquaintances who haven’t seemed to figure out polite phoning in advance. It was seriously several times per day. I on the other hand am only 30 but cower in fear when a door knocks at mine (almost always Amazon) I think this is much less to do with age, and more to do with extraversion/introversion. I swear, every time I speak on the phone with him, he’s got at least 4 randoms there. I figure that he opens his house to all the waifs and strays because he bought a huge house with his ex wife with a plan of a family, and feels that now he’s alone there, he should welcome people . Ironically, he’s a grumpy old shouty man, but has 50+ friends attending his birthdays. I don’t bother celebrating mine, I’ll get one or two happy birthdays but no visitors. What am I doing wrong? Should I just be more grumpy and shouty??

    I remember being a kid and my parents friends would often drop by on a weeknight to say hi. They were usually on the way home from shopping in a larger town near us, and we were on their way home so they'd stop in around 7 or 730, or later, to say hi and visit for an hour or so. There was one friend of my mom's who would literally stay till like 2AM on a weeknight. I always called my parents & friends 'the cocktail generation'. lol

    My first day as a teacher in the school I was a pupil 10 years before : the director (who already was the director when I was a student) shows me the teacher's room (which was totally forbidden for us students at the time). The minute she opens the door, we see one of my future colleague running after antoher one of my future colleague with a water gun they had just confiscated... My whole world changed that exact minute !

    Our brand new high school hosted teachers that were more interested in screwing each other (except for the Biology teacher who was more interested in screwing his students). The drama was invigorating, and the school closed down in 9 years. It turned into a vocational school, no idea what it is now. It was an "experiment" (only one other school in California was like it), and it failed miserably. Had everything a modern school could have, but was mis-managed from the start (the school board).

    My mom used to nick them from department stores XD Or whenever she'd buy an article of clothing and the cashier tried to take it off the hanger and fold it into a bag, my mom would go "Ohhh NO. Put THAT in the bag too."

    Funny thing is that I found the best pillow in a big bin at Costco for only $10 for two. It is firm, but shapeable and doesn't ever get hard, even after months of use. I can make it thick to keep my neck straight when I sleep on my side, or thin it out with a roll under my neck when I sleep on my back, or whatever else works for the moment. ... They have, of course, discontinued it.

    I've liked olives my whole life 🤷 the green olives are my favorite which apparently makes me some sort of unforgivable heathen

    Nope. And I still hate broccoli too. It smells like you're cooking farts.
