I once had the rudest table. Everyone on phones. No eye contact. Barking orders. Nothing was to their liking. I finally said, “That’s it. I quit.” I had no choice but to come back the next day and guess what? Same table. Then I realized I’m not a waiter. This is my house.
I think mine would be almost entirely "Because I'm generally polite to everyone" - no idea why Waiters or any staff should require different treatment.
I'm with you. But there are so many people in this world who think that treating any staff like c**p shows their "class". Unfortunately, all it slows is their "klass".
Load More Replies...The dark purple one would be the largest part for me (just kidding.... kind of)
But there's always the obstacle to surpass when being polite to waiters: Waiter: "Enjoy your meal!" Me: "Sure, you too!"
Where's the slice that says Even though I'm 41, my mom would kick my butt?
Add in a healthy dose of, "I also work with the public and know how irritating and exhausting it can be!"
I also can't understand why someone would verbally abuse them if their food doesn't taste good. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a waiter's job is to get your order, then bring your food to the table. They didn't cook your food. Sorry your potatoes are too salty, Sheryl, but it's not the waiter's fault.
Matt is still over the moon that people enjoy his charts. "I'm very excited people still find my stuff to be entertaining," he told Bored Panda via email.
"I've always been worried that my content would be for a specific time and place and then people would get tired of it and move on but so far I've been able to keep it fresh and explore different topics that people seem to like," he shared some of his hopes and fears.
I once bought an expensive pair of Ray-Bans--paid for them--walked out of the shop--took them off and put them on the roof of my truck (I was looking for something in my purse)--got in the truck--drove off, with my glasses still on the roof--and then ran over them. From start to finish? Probably 3 minutes.
Cheap sunglasses are always the best. I usually go for some polarized ones around 20$ and they last forever.
Ah, but this person obviously doesn't live in a place where there are intermittent sun breaks. Here the cycle goes: first hint of spring --> buys cheap sunglasses --> wears them for two days before it starts raining again --> misplaces glasses --> looks for glasses for two days --> gives up and buys new pair in next sun break --> rinse and repeat until October when you start finding all of said sunglasses....
I left my Coach ones in a fitting room of a place that does NOT sell Coach.... That was like 8 years ago, husband still talks junk...
I've never lost or broken cheap sunglasses. I usually end up tossing them once the lenses are scratched to the point of being able to notice the scratches while wearing them. Every expensive pair I've ever had I either lost them or someone decided they wanted them worse than me and stole them.
Wow, this hits home so precisely that I feel watched. Matt, did you follow me??!
also me the whole time: adjusting the angle of my stupid face to look slightly less stupid
I sometimes adjust the angle of the screen so my cat's ugly bits don't show.

Also, thinking of what I'm getting for lunch while staring at my own stupid face.
The creator was very candid with us that he's "always worried about losing the creative edge," as well as doing only the things that are easy. It's an issue that many artists must feel like they've had to tackle at some point in their careers.
"I've run into this quite a few times over my career. I will find myself a little burnt out and not seeing my content as very funny which usually means I need to try to switch it up and get out of my comfort zone. In theory, I always want to try new things, new mediums, new topics, but in practice, it's a lot harder to get yourself to do this," he explained.
My favorite is "I just got a text: my dog got assaulted by the mailman"
Load More Replies..."I gotta run, my dog is splitting an atom in my backyard. Yes, I did say my dog, he's very smart and creative even without the opposable thumbs. Of course I've spoken to him, he understands what a nuclear winter is but it still seems to intrigue him."
I just got a text, Amber Heard, peed on a little girls lemonade stand. Just after Joe Biden came back to life.
Hey sorry, my Harry Potter cardboard cutout just came back to life,
Give your family my best because Joe Biden peed on a little bit girl's lemonade stand.
Look over there! my imaginary girlfriend just peed on a little girls lemonade stand
I'm surprised it was so high in the first place lol
Load More Replies..."# of boxes packed" is entirely too linear. It should look more like the "money spent" line
After moving about 20 times in 25 years I no longer have the capacity to move. Some of those moves were for things like college and what not.
Whow that's at least 15 too many. If I do not count my parents moving when I was a small child, then I moved 6 times. I'm nearly 40. (My parents moved 3 times, when I was small)
Load More Replies...I moved last December and the blue line made me displace lots of stuff so I had to buy again. Recently managed to unpack most of the 30 leftover boxes. Now selling loads of stuff online because I have them double. SO I miss lines for "misplacing/ losing stuff"and "unpacking".
This one sums up moving perfectly. I'd rather slam my dong in a car door repeatedly than have to go through a move. But its a foolproof way to determine who your true friends are. Sucks when you figure out you don't have any.
Waaay too much work. Unless they hurt animals or children. Edit. Interesting how much knowledge there is on this subject.
Murder is the easy part. It's what to do with the body that's a lot of work.
Load More Replies...when you want to murder someone, take them on a private boat ride, go into the open ocean, and drop them there. Works best at night when all the deep sea creatures come up to feed and your victim can't be seen
relatable. like I WOULD kill someone but like... first you gotta plan it out, then you have to kill them, then hide the body, then run away, and all the while make sure you leave NO EVIDENCE at all... man just sounds like a pain in the a*s.
And with all the cameras now days, it'd be so hard not to get caught on camera somewhere 😂
Load More Replies...For me it's just the last three pillars, but the last one isn't sounds like a lot of work, it's " cleaning up will be a lot of work "
Morals is a lot higher for me but I feel bad about moving my cat off my lap to get a drink when I haven't drank anything all day -
I have always said that if I snapped and murdered someone no way I'm trying to cover it up. Way to much work and I'm going directly to the police with my statement prewritten and a full confession.All that time with people yelling at me in a tiny room may make me snap and commit another one. I would do well in isolation because I'm not a huge fan of people but couldn't deal with the noise I perceive there to be in jail.
Surprised to see that not having a good hiding place for the body isn't included on this one.
Bored Panda also wanted to get Matt's opinion on discipline, considering how consistently he makes and posts content. It's a character feature that many artists would give a lot for.
"I know a lot of people say consistency is key but I think that's a bit overstated. Of course, you don't want to go a year without posting but to take a month or week or day off is not a big deal. It's much more important for the content to be quality," he said that there has to be a happy balance between consistency and quality.
"For me, I treat it as my job and at this point, it's not too difficult to come up with an idea or two every day," he said.
I wish people would just accept an email attachment it is so pathetic this thing of filling out the same contents over and over. I mean why bother having a resumé in the first place then??
If some moronic HR system had the gall to ask me to write an essay on why I am passionate about a job, I would be reminded that I am not and immediately abort the process and it will be for the best, as a company full of cheerleaders is annoying at best but likely toxic.
And it's somehow worse when you realise they're not all cheerleaders, but they have to pretend they are cos management thinks they're a family...a dysfunctional family who hate one another, sure. So then you realise that they're all just as miserable and defeated as you are... Source: the one job I had which wasn't creative in some way
Load More Replies...Why does every web site want you to create an account - not just jobs. I'm passworded out.
Then some of those websites will show the job, then you click on it and it takes you to ANOTHER website with jobs not even kinda related to the job you were clicking on!!?? That's what annoys me the most!
Load More Replies...I applied to a job once and now I have 50 new online accounts. Ah, privacy!
Whenever I apply on one of the big websites that already have all of my info and I get "click this link to apply on the company website" and it's not just "confirm that your info is accurate", that company loses its chance to reject me for wasting 2 hours. I'll reject the company immediately instead for being too inefficient.
Need one for job motivation you vs company. You $$, why company thinks you want the job: anything but money.
Urgh yeah - 'tell me why you want to work for us here at Braindead B******t Co?' Mate, I'm skint and you're about to hear the same thing I've said during the 20 other interviews I've had this month.
Load More Replies...I didn't notice those until i read your comment!
Load More Replies...Basically every city in the US. Where pedestrians dare you to hit them or they'll sue. Can't sue if you're dead bud.
haha in our country the pedestrian will definitely be running for his life, not dawdling
as we get older we may tend to walk slower, so some drivers see a person with grey hair crossing the street and start honking, some even go so far as to yell "hey grandma I have a job to get too". As it happens this 71 year old grandma can cross a 5 lane intersection in about 14 seconds ( yes we have counters). I wish I knew how that is taking too much time out of someone's day.
PickleRick!!! I put googly eyes on a gherkin the other day. I laughed.. the pickle laughed. Good times!
Load More Replies...I'm so much more productive at home than I am in the office. I don't have 25 people stopping by my desk interrupting me during the day. I can ignore instant messages all day long. Getting a shower, brushing my teeth and putting on pj's for the day, is also a nice perk. 😁😜
Apparently someone is spying on me because, tragically, this sums up my life rather well.
I pretty sure this is somehow based on the JoHarry model in communications or something..
During a previous chat with Bored Panda, Matt told us that he’s “always loved” things that are related to visuals and design. He said that it was a natural fit for him to try and do something similar on his Instagram page.
“Sometimes, it is a challenge to keep motivated, but the good thing about charts is that you can pretty much do one on any topic,” he shared with us.
“I'm not confined to a certain field of expertise which helps with inspiration. If I'm not feeling inspired to create something on a certain topic, I can always look in the complete opposite direction for something that activates the creative juices,” Matt opened up to Bored Panda about how he keeps the creativity flowing.
I think “alarm going off on Monday morning” would be on point 😆
Load More Replies...Seriously though, what is it with sunday?? I hate this day but don´t know why I´m so anxious about it..
For me it's a simple replacement: Instagram -> Bored Panda. Also Twitter -> Google News Feed.
Load More Replies...Twitter is a cesspool of outrage and negativity. That's also pretty much the current state of most news outlets in the US. I recently downloaded the good news app and joined a bunch of incredibly positive reddit subs and it's helped my mental so much.
I don't read news on Twitter, period. I read jokes occasionally, but I have managed to get my Google news feed to be about half tech news and half bored panda and similar. I still manage to get major news from the occasional Facebook doomscroll but if I actually want news I try for either NPR daily summery or Reddit because yeah, actual "news" has become a bit of a cesspool.
Load More Replies...Matt is really good with charts. Everything looks so neat and organized 😍
This is why I prefer a checkout lane with a human being. Those checkout people are far more efficient tan I will ever be!
Load More Replies...The self checkouts at Lowe's hardware do this constantly. I walked out and left a buggy full of s**t the last time it happened.
this weekend we went through this! As SOON as my wife scanned an item, it said/showed place item in bagging area...NO time to actually do it! Then every other item was above...technology! Phhh!
He forgot the part where I pick up the entire computer and chuck it through the front ice freezer. Oh, wait...no, that's just in my brain.
why I never self checkout. The machine always tells me to put my just scanned item in the bagging area and then seems to forget it just told me that. Too much frustration. They don't pay me enough to deal with those machines.
Charts are a great medium for sharing humor with people. They’re very to-the-point and pack a lot of punch in bite-sized bits of content.
“I like charts because they don't require a lot of reading and there's an inherent discovery process whenever you are trying to figure out what a chart is trying to depict, whether it's for entertainment or data-driven,” the artist told us.
“The only limitations I've found are with the types of jokes you can include. If you want long-winded setups and character-driven jokes then charts are definitely going to be difficult to work with,” Matt explained that charts allow for concise and snappy jokes, nothing too deep.
I have the mantra "don't let the perfect get in the way of the good". While usually this is a bit of post hoc justification for not doing anything properly, it is reassuring to know I'm on the right path. Now to show this graph to my wife....
Perfection is something to aim for, it is not required that we achieve it.
I like my job, at least for now. It's something that I enjoy doing, and I'll just have to live with the constant worry that I'll stop liking it...
Ok I actually love my job, but I'm 57, this is the first time I ever did love one.
This isn't true for me, but I have friends who have parents like this 😆
My father likes to call when he's getting drunk, and will proceed to talk your ear off.....for several hours.
This but grandparents ;-; and thankfully no single questions or career questions... Mostly visitation questions which I avoid bc my mom doesn't let me go over there. Personal reasons. It's annoying, I shouldn't have to feel like this about my grandma... Anyways I'm gay and they're homophobic so I'm superrr thankful I don't have to answer questions about that.
Meanwhile, during a couple of more recent talks with Bored Panda, the chart and graph virtuoso revealed that “it’s actually quite difficult” keeping up with current events. Sure, they might make for great content, but being up-to-date with all the freshest news, all the time can be exhausting. Matt picks and chooses what he engages with.
“I tend to not pay attention to the news too awfully much because I find that it's not exactly great for my mental health, so I have to pick and choose the types of current events I talk about with my charts,” he told Bored Panda
“In general. I like to do things that are light-hearted so it's natural that some of the more light-hearted news stories are right up my alley. And then, of course, I can always draw off my own experiences, whether it's working from home or dealing with isolation or my thoughts on anxiety,” he shared a glimpse into his creative process with us.
I think about Trevor Henderson creatures and SCPs- on a completely unrelated note I have not slept it 2 days :(
I'm a teen and am the adult on this chart, except school instead of work.
I just posted last night about the U.S. self destructing due to the insanity of the Maga agenda, and any crazy Trumpists still hanging on, and that anyone left here that's sane should pack up and head to saner shores in 1. New Zealand 2. The Netherlands 3. Europe.
I exist in the lawful good and I am annoyed by anyone who is outside of that.
Lol. I'm pretty sure it's a law where I live that you have to talk about the weather at least once in a conversation.
Load More Replies...Where does "Hey!" and a little wave and then going back to my desk fall?
We Germans are known to not like small talk, but in northern Germany we get by with just four words: Moin - Und? - Muss! ( moin is a greeting that's valid the whole day and has different underlying meanings. Und means and like in and how are you doing? Muss means must and covers the whole spectrum of negative life experiences, from not too bad to my wife just died.) Alternatively the answer could be a slow Joah, which is the equivalent of an enthusiastic Yes, life is good!
I literally start every Email with "Good [afternoon]," I'm the office paladin. AKA Lawful Stupid.
"You look tired." Why oh why do people say this to others?? Jealous bitches?
I do without thinking out of concern. Also yknow without thinking. I have no filter.
Load More Replies...Living with anxiety, it's mostly green and pink for me. And no yellow. Definitely no yellow.
Only TWO coffee addictions for adults? Come on... wait, I'm not ready to go yet, more coffee! LOL
My lovely day almost always starts with green, then goes to teal. If lucky to have caregiver that day will make it to yellow. Life with a physical disability sucks but sunlight feels amazing every time.
When Matt first started out venturing into the world of digital virality on Instagram, he was drawing his charts on whiteboards. However, he eventually upgraded and went fully digital.
“This worked great at first, but eventually I found that I would often make mistakes that were almost impossible to fix on a whiteboard and I moved to more graphic design charts,” he said.
According to Matt, going fully digital has allowed him to be more flexible. Now he can draw multiple things each day. Moreover, he can reuse certain templates, “so I don't have to measure and draw the same pie charts or tables over and over again.”
This is me sadly! I want compliments then when I get them I’m awkward and shy!
Can't relate. I'm not a people person nor a social media person so I'm not much on the attention part at all. I rather be left alone.
Agreed. Just leave me alone and let me live my life without interfering. I don't want/crave attention or recognition. I want to remain anonymous and inconspicuous.
Load More Replies...If I'm PAYING for goods and/or service, I'll want the attention that King Customer is due! But other than that, just leave me alone. 😉
Hard NOT to see me with my new post-covid body, amirite?!
Load More Replies...Nice thing about being pregnant, at least I have an excuse for my belly.
Yeah, I was pregnant in between, unfortunately the excuse doesn't last... I even lost weight during the pregnancy, but now, with twin toddlers and sleep loss forever, it's all back... I can carry two 12.5kg toddlers at the same time, though, so...
Load More Replies...Me: green before quarantine, feels like red now but I'm only 130 pounds and 5' 4". I need assurance pls someone tell me I'm not overweight I'm super insecure rn
130 lbs is still in the "I can toss you" range and I am not Legolas. Also, body size is just one of many things that matter to people judging someone so don't, er, put too much weight on it.
Load More Replies...The name taker also has to have a nasal voice and mispronounce everything.
If these coffee shop knitting groups exist, I would love to join one. So long as they have tea.
Confused how lines work could definitely also be trying to read the menus/not sure what they want and don't want to be in the way
In other words, digital art makes the entire work process much faster. Besides, Matt enjoys the variety of colors that he can use digitally. You just can’t get the same effect with whiteboard markers.
“I absolutely didn't expect anything when I started. But it's very nice to find out that other people see the world in the same way I do,” the creator said that he never expected his chart art to take off as much as it did.
Where I work, the fiscal first day of the week is Friday. So, Friday is our Monday, Monday our Tuesday and so on. Try to assimilate that Friday is Monday. Dare ya!
There's one more line for me. The orange one is "When my four kids start asking me for everything they can possibly think of.", and then right after that is when I give up...but that's every day.
I do like football/soccer a lot....but you just can't beat a good afternoon nap.
Naps are for lazy people. A siesta is a cultural experience. You will be enriched by the experience
Load More Replies...There should be three diagrams: "what I say I like to do" , "what I actually like to do" and "what I have the time/energy for". E.g. I like to sew, but I can't do that while my twin toddlers run free and I work full time, so I can only do it in the evening when we've put them to bed and we've eaten. Yet they wake me up around 5am, so if I don't want to be dead, I'll have about an hour tops to do whatever I want before I should go to bed. That's not much when you're just getting started...
I do like writing and some badminton/football, but TV and napping just sounds like a forever interesting proposition :-P
Not everything that Matt draws ends up on social media, even though he draws pretty much every single day. He feels that some of his charts aren’t “up to snuff” and end up in his computer archive, never to see the light of day. He feels that the content that genuinely makes him laugh will make others laugh as well.
It's missing 1) the other circling cars looking for a spot and beating you to all of them 2) the giant pickup or other rude vehicle taking up two spaces, 3) the reserved spots (needed for folks with limited mobility and/or kids) but currently empty, 4) the space with something broken or spilled that you don't want to chance driving through, and 5) the "empty" space that turns out to be a cart return.
Your number 3 is missing the excessiveness of spots for people with limited mobility. IE walmart and the 40 spaces reservered that only ever have 10 in use.
Load More Replies...And the guy parked actually illegally in the handicapped space, and the astronomically entitled sweety who is parked on the loading zone FOR the handicapped spot! (I explained to her that if we scratched her car with my one-legged husband’s wheelchair, the cops would ticket “!her!”. Turns out she was pretty fast.)
This is why I instituted the Rule of Next Available, or RONA (yeah, that name didn't age well). At some point, I say RONA to myself and wherever the next spot is, I park there.
Went to my supermarket yesterday. Four of the handicapped spots taken up by two cars.
Oh, sweetie, you're NOT the worst ever! You don't have to apologize! (😉)
Load More Replies...Now talk about how the buffoon gets paid more because they look like "management potential". Or how they're already middle management.
Mr. Jackpot is probably suffering because management, probably the buffoon that happens to be manager, keeps throwing more stuff on him to do. And now he's burnt out because he's doing everyone else's work
I am a typical buffoon. I'm the only one on my shift though, so nobody gets to witness my buffoonery.
So, Pandas, which of these charts were your faves? Which ones resonated with you the most and why? Cuz, we gotta say, we relate to most of Matt's work. Do you have any ideas that you wish the artist would illustrate in the near future? Tell us all about it (and more!) in the comment section at the bottom of this list.
The purple is wrong, the line should go straight up vertical at the starts and ends
Knowing you have to to work drains your energy until you work and after work your energy slowly but steadily regains.

Netflix binges would be much higher. I hate binging but once I get into it I have zero willpower.Didn't sleep for two days watching Secrets Of The Skin Walker Ranch on Hulu,all three seasons then Googling when will there be a fourth season. Thankfully I'm self employed and just didn't adult those two days.
That's okay. I need to hear that. And when I am the one affirming people's hard work I mostly make their days.
We had some really bad sex ed in school. It was more of a "don't do it!!!" rather than a "this is what you need to know".
Yes. We had some bad sex ed too. If people don't ever learn the stuff in the right pie chart in school, how the hell are they expected to ever learn it, even if they're grown and/or married???
Load More Replies...I was taught by a nun, who was blushing, stammering, and looked like she wanted to die.
Too many US schools seem to lean towards the don't do it side of things
I've commented on here before how I guess my weird, podunk small town school was pretty woke compared to what other people have reported. It was in the midwest in the 90's, smack dab in the middle of the bible belt. During middle school sex ed, they taught all the kids everything on the right hand chart except 'how to do it good', because I assume they thought that would have been too many details for 13 year olds. I remember them putting it all up on a projector, and it was pretty graphic
Mine stopped growing after i stopped shaving. Like one errant hair on back near ankle, it's crazy!
Load More Replies...Unfortunately, this is basically how everyone processes information. We are wired to make emotional decisions and then rationalize them. An ongoing goal of humanity is to be able to make more decisions rationally, but we backslide frequently...
I don't like fireworks, so I stay home so I can give my dog lots of cuddles and treats when people start setting them off
The box on Not Fulfilling and Stressful should be: Suck it up 'cause you're homeless without it.
I see how "get out now" is unrealistic for some people. Perhaps "look for something better" would be better.
Load More Replies...I feel so lucky to live in England where all that stuff is done automatically and I don't have to worry about it. And free healthcare.
And don't forget about the guy scratching lottery tickets (while we all wait in line behind him), wins $2, buys 3 more, continues scratching, wins $100, buys beer with the winnings, howls at wolf while leaving, and passes out in driver's seat.
These are all the places that are nothing like the rest of their state, and yet people who haven't been there assume they must be the epitome of that state
EXCUSE ME! WHAT?! If anything, Pittsburgh is underrated. But ya know what, i guess it's better if the word doesn't get out. We are a small city and we like it that way. Also, I've lived in NJ and most of it is lovely. It gets such a bad rap because of the dense urban areas.
My self worth really takes a hit every time I visit LinkedIn. I like their job search thing but damn, seeing everyone that's doing astronomically better than you while you search for a job that utilizes even 20% of your degree isn't fun.
And a "Sorry For Your Loss" card (with an envelope that's too small) because all of the Mothers' day cards are already gone.
So, mostly the people on the north part of the map would rather be cold, and the people on the south would rather be hot, as if they're satisfied with the choice they made to live there. And then there's this weird section in the middle where everything is flipped around and the people want the opposite of how the weather often is. I wonder why. Is it humidity? Is it because of temperature extremes?
In Green Bay i can tell you i definitely prefer the cold! Ofc it was 90° today and feels like pea soup outside from humidity...
I can verify as I too live in Green Bay! It's been way too warm and muggy here lately.
Load More Replies...I'll never understand how people can withstand the cold. And I leave in a state where people like the cold.
Easy: I can put on as many layers that I need, I can only take off so many.
Load More Replies...Fairbanks is the best! Love how Cincinnati is listed as the most overrated and the most underrated.
Why does it feel like this explains so much of our lives? It kinda makes me sad. (quietly laughs through the pain)
It makes me sad to know that every decade in my life I thought I would have it all figured out by the next decade but it never happens. These graphs at least let me know I’m not alone
It's disturbing how much it makes me feel better to know others suffer this way...
