Yeh, and It's gonna take a whole day to recover (back to sleep (Z_z)
F*****g Joy....going nowhere in life... 10 years passed and Joy is still in her dead-end-job, working for her douchebag boss, that just bought his first Porsche. Sometimes she thinks that she should change her life, go out there, see the world, meet exciting people and turn around what has not been touched for ages, but then the register beeps and she wakes up from her daydream in the middle of her third night shift this week. Joys boyfriend is a stoner. His name is Josh and he works at a store that sells vaporizers and everytime Joy wants to lead a meaningful conversaton with him, he starts to stroke his mildly annoying man-bun and starts to explain to her, that children in Africa are dying of starvation right now and that "their" problems seem so insignificant in comparison. Joy is not very happy. But then she sees this douchebag that comes to her store for 10 years. It all started one day, when he bought a condom and started to brag about his sex-life.
He started to come in everyday, always buying just one condom, always talking about how great he is in bed. Joy was annoyed. So annoyed that she plotted something evil for the first time in her life. She took a small pin from the blackboard in the staff room and placed it next to her register. It was 9 o'clock when the dude stood in front of her, giving her the condom to scan. In a blink of an eye, she grabbed the pin and punched a few holes in the condom, without him noticing it. She felt great. So powerful, so evil, she nearly had an orgasm. The days went by and she kept repeating the pin-stabbing until the guy stopped coming. Those were the most thrilling days of her life, stabbing a little pin into a man's condom. And suddenly it stopped. She fell back into beeing miserable. One day though, she saw a man coming through the autmatic door. He looked familiar, but he seemed awfully tired and she felt a certain black cloud hanging over him. It was her guy - the condom guy.

This is too accurate hahahha, I used to love rollercoasters, the faster and crazier the better. Now I can feel nauseous even when riding an elevator
I would replace 30s with 40s. Then it will be more correct. 30 is still to young for this.
Agreed. It doesn't get easier, that's for sure. The aging process is fairly brutal, physically. Sixty is ok... It doesn't look as good as 30, but it's a better soul.
Load More Replies...How am I 23 and most of these apply.. what am I going to be like when I'm actually that age.
For some people it works in reverse, so there's still hope. ^_-
Load More Replies...i'm 39 and i'm so thankful this is not even remotely close to the truth.
Load More Replies...I'm in my 40's and I feel like the person who wrote/drew this in his/her 30's is having a REALLY tough time of it..... I haven't seen half the c**p this poor artist is going through.... Either I am young at heart, or this poor sap gave up on life....
These were funny until I realized how accurate they are. Especially 10, 17, and 20.
For the first time in a while... I feel normal!! Thanks for reassuring me at the age of 36!!
Yeah it should continue the aging process to 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 100s, 110s, and 120s.
What a bunch of bs! You are saying people in their thirties are over the hill...wait till you hit 65 and then tell me about life!
This post makes the adult life look sad, when in reality it's not...isn't it?
mostly nonsense, perhaps it's me doing it all backwards here but i turned 35 a month ago and never felt wilder than this before this tbh
this may be somebody else's life, it's not mine.
At some point, you realize you aren't young any more but you're not old yet, either. That's been my 40s.
No, this is about not eating and exercising correctly. Healthy habits create healthy living except for things that cannot be controlled. My 68 year old grandfather is living proof of this. The man still builds houses for fun after retiring, racing desert motocross, and finishes as many Tough Mudder and Spartan runs that come to the PNW. Also, having a positive outlook can have an impact on day to day living, it is surprising how our body reacts to how we feel day to day.
Sorry for the author if his or her life in his/her thirties is (or was) as horrible as shown in these drawings. Or if he/she is afraid it will be like this (apparently in this case, there are some bad role models) in the thirties. I'm 35 and enjoying every second. Don't want to go back to being 20-sth, no way! Cheers to everyone who enjoys their thirties - off to get drunk, buy condoms, have sex, wake up to no hangover and go to work at the coffee shop!
I love all the subtle little differences in the characters and their surroundings.
I think that this is all wrong. I know people in their 40s and 50s that are still like the 20s. I know no one who is in their 30s and 40s that looks like these depictions. Not funny to ready and in my opinion, stupid.
I get the reference, but America's problems aren't the same. People who think these toons relate to them are because of life issues. America's issues have more to do with idiots running things and money winning over obvious logic. Hehe. If we used electronic voting to choose how laws went in to effect, instead of allowing nut jobs with greedy hands to vote on our laws, regulations and social programs.
