50 Painfully Hilarious Memes That Sum Up The Struggles Of Being An Adult (New Pics)

I came into what I considered to be the top of my profession on my first day as a classroom teacher. If I wanted to be a managerial type, I would have worked some place where they paid actual money.

I once had high hopes and dreams for a certain career and a stereotypical family; now I just want a job that will have the bills paid, some extra for spending and saving and to be content and happy and away from large cities.

We all do…l

Every year I had to come up with my improvement plan, what was I going to work to improve. I am going to be doing the same job next year, Karen, and I am going to keep doing it as well as I can so I don't get fired...

I climbed the ladder and decided that I didn't like the view from up there. I'd rather just be able to help people and not be in the same category as "the machine"

Wait.... you made it to 930pm? dang I wish I could stay awake that late!!!!

I dunno…..if you stay up later than everybody else, you also get lots of lovely quiet time to yourself. That’s how I do it.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man able to enjoy some unbothered peace and quiet.

Being able to finally retire was, by far, the best thing that ever happened to me.

Half eight and I'm sitting on my bed about to settle down with a hot chocolate and a movie (Vesper, recorded off Film4).

Just wash all your clothes in cold water.

For me, it's been newish blue jeans that stain everything a weird blue grey.

Bleeding colors aside, I'm not getting towel lint all over my clothes

It's only natural fibres - cotton, wool, etc. - that bleed colour. These fibres are dyed after the raw material has been spun into yarn and the colour is absorbed like a sponge soaks up water. No matter how good the fixative is some dye will leach back out when the garments are washed. Artificial fibres - polyester, lycra, etc. - are essentially plastics; the colour is mixed into the hot melt and is permanently fixed into the thread. Just as with coloured glass, the colour will not leach out of artificial fabrics. So as a general rule of thumb, coloured artificial fabrics can be washed together and with white fabrics, but coloured natural fabrics should be separated and not washed with whites.

Just don't trust red.

this should definitely be higher on this list!

I knew my roomie from a political organisation we're both in. They couldn't stay in their previous flatshare and since I needed a roommate, I asked if they wanted to move in. Win-win situation since the two flats aren't too far apart distance-wise and we get along reasonably well

There's a nice cottage on my property that I made an exception for my MIL to live there until she had to go to a nursing home after she got sick. I have rebuffed every other inquiry. I don't want people here. My husband's ex wife started making hints about my stepdaughter (29 at the time) maybe needing to move in w/ us. I said, 'Sorry....there's really no room in the house, there's no privacy upstair, so....'

Non human mammals only

I wish I had had better boundaries in my teens/early twenties; so many things I would change with what I know now

So. Much. Time.

Always keep the really good boxes

The cats ended that debate for me years ago. THE BOX ALWAYS STAYS. Until the box has been shredded. I have my own break down and recycling system lol.

I used to need a lot of boxes of different sizes as I mailed gifts to a lot of family. They are all dead now and I still have a hard time throwing a box away.

Just as an adult??

I am going food shopping tomorrow. To me that counts as going out

Errands don't count as "going out"? Oh dear . . . .

Of course I've been out today, the milk doesn't bring itself in.

They definitely do. Cheers

If it can wait for another errand to hitch onto, it does. Sometimes it waits for a few errands to hitch onto.

67 next month, still no kids 😂

Not only was I too selfish to give up my lifestyle, I never thought my DNA was special enough to replicate.

#facts

Every time i told i dont want children i was yelled at and called a monster. I had an a*****e childhood and had been a horrible mother. How dare people to judge me without knowing my motivation. It was like a modern witchhunt. And why should we reproduce ourself like crazy? There are too many humans on earth. The censored word was a b u.s iv e. Why the heck is this censored. You run crazy finally.

40's, no kids. great choice.

Physically yes, intellectually, it's a toss up. I'm 60 and I still dont feel "grown up" lol

Been there, done that. I was darn good at it too.

I will find a way to not do this and be the ultimate disappointment

No high expectations there...

What a load of c**p. I despair for America if this how they think.

Wait, you guys make a to-do list? You don't just sorta run from one impending catastrophe to another?
