Everyday life is full of stress that drains your batteries. So if you need a break to recharge them, the Facebook page 'Blackpool Lad' can be a good place to do so—as its admin(s) say, even for lasses!
The origins of its content are a bit murky. The page shares posts that appear to be from X (formerly known as Twitter), but once you start searching for the sources, you realize that a lot of those accounts do not exist.
However, the jokes and observations themselves still stand. They touch on toxic relationships, bad bosses, anxiety, and other common struggles we have.
Continue scrolling to check them out and don't miss the chat we had with psychotherapist Kaytee Gillis—you'll find it in between the pictures.

Apparently I roll my eyes so hard that the people around me can hear it.
Proud childless cat lady here. I am also nearly 50, never married & work in a library. I’m a living stereotype & loving every minute of it 😉
Or the person with the cart situated blocking the aisle, no room on either side. "Time for bumper cars".
That reminds me that I want to get some dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets when I next go to the grocery store.
Mr Auntriarch is in charge of admin. I am in charge of dashing into Claire's Accessories and buying a load of trinkets that I will think "what on earth possessed me to buy that" as soon as I get home.
To circumvent this, my wife will fall asleep on the couch knowing that I cannot, and will not, let her sleep on the couch over night. It forces me to stop and say "Let's go to bed."
At least I can mostly speak my mind with my patients. Sorry, if you don't quit the cigarettes and live more healthy you will significantly decrease your healthy life span. Some people need a kick in the a*s
This only works if your relationship is so bad that your partner wouldn't ask. I guess that's the prize you win for being passive aggressive?
Wait, I’m not alone? Did someone get in because I didn’t check the door a fourth time?
Not those exact words, but my wife saw me refold my shirts once when I was still in the military... 14 years together and folding laundry is still my job XD
My sister's dog smelled her breast cancer, now I don't like it when he follows me
Same with deer and rabbits. Can't they see I'm a Disney Princess in disguise??
No, that would be like sitting in a field of muesli with no fruit. Fries would be a carrot patch.
We are always good. In fact, there is no minute of any day that we are not perfect.
Then you side eye the dog, they look away, side eye, look away "nope, not begging, just chillin'"
I'm not so sure that someone taking 'a patient's history' wouldn't know how to spell "new" correctly.
I once house-sat for a couple with a cat. The cat loved sci-fy shows, so one of the conditions of house-sitting was that I watched sci-fy shows with the cat. 10/10 experience.
I work weekends, so this would technically be a compliment coming from me
My mom has a habit of leaving her phone in the kitchen on the island. A few weeks ago, my son and I were in the backyard with his 3yo & 2yo. He was playing on his phone while I blew bubbles. Asked him to please get me a DP. He said sure. Then I see him talking and hear him say " Grammy, since you're in the kitchen now, would you mind bringing mom a DP? Thx" she was laughing as she said "Well played, kiddo!"
Better than the "What are you doing? That was our turn!" on a road they travel daily, but you only once in awhile.
Hey now, I give GREAT advice! Just because my own life is a dumpster fire doesn't mean I can't see how you can fix yours!
Kids today with their “fancy schmancy” J2Os and such like. Ready salted crisps and flat lemonade I got.
Dr. Pepper is my downfall soda. I'm trying to give up soda but sometimes I just want an ice cold Dr. Pepper! So this candle would kill me! But it sounds amazing.
I confused the it chap at work once before I remembered that I have my mouse set to right button
My second daughter washed her and her sisters' uniforms for school last night for the first time. Now I get that extra time to... do the rest of the things.
Couldn't do it... If the dishes aren't washed before bed, they have to be washed before I leave for work or I go nuts.
Getting the answer isn't the problem. It's the dreaded "Show your work" that's the problem.
Just having a mild disagreement with Mr Auntriarch about can you call it slaughter if it's only one person. If not, can I slaughter him several times
Yes, you can slaughter one person, but to qualify as slaughter it has to be done in a cruel or particularly violent way. Now, have fun!
Load More Replies...Very sad so many of these "relatable" memes are about bullying and gaslighting your partner. Glad I can't relate. Sad so many do.
When the joke only makes sense if you start from the premise of the couple being awful to each other, it's not funny, just sad.
