50 Painfully Funny Posts About Adulting That May Comfort You Knowing You’re Not Alone

Hear hear (not the alarm)

If only it worked in my mind

I literally shot my alarm clock the day I retired!

That's definitely the best part of it.

100% true

Whenever I accept an invitation, I subconsciously start composing a list of reasons I have to leave early.

Those well behaved kids really make life hard for adults. /s

Giving them the silent treatment

Go to my room, you have a spanking coming.

You know, they say "go big or go home", and I'm totally fine with going home. Food is there, my sofa is there, my laptop is there... home sounds pretty dang good! 😉

Nail on the head.

So true! I have a chronic I’ll was and often have to cancel last minute. So I make a point of telling my friends it means a lot to me to still be invited even when I don’t feel up to coming.

This is just being an introvert.

So true!

My life is a series of unfinished movies because I fall asleep halfway through. I've seen a part of so many movies.

I found out that a little sleep at night and a big nap after whatever I’m doing that day leave me the most energetic. Humans weren’t meant to all have the same sleep schedule, and it’s okay to figure out what works for you, even if that isn’t the norm.

8 pm is pyjamas time

I'm up usually until 3 or 4 am. I get up usually at 1 pm. My mother has had some things to say about it and I say I've raised my kids. They are 30, 28, and 19 almost 20 in Jan.!No my son wasn't an oop's baby!! We get that a lot!! LOL!

Weekdays, we can start a movie by 8 pm, but it has to be 2 hours or under.

My Lily used to do this every time we went to visit the vet. She'd get out of the car, wait to be let in through the door and walk herself around the counter. Then she'd sit, looking pointedly at the treats jar. Once she'd got her bit of liver, she'd go and say hello to every one of the staff. She loved all those ladies.

At least He’s making better choices than most adults. He’s using the crosswalk.

For real! I remember thinking once "good God, whose in charge here?!" Before realizing, it's me 😫😫

I always feel sad when I see this picture, it's as if his owner died and the dog misses him and their walks, so the poor little thing goes all alone in memory of past walks.

Honestly one of the most surreal experiences of my life was crying as an adult on the NYC subway. I had just gotten some truly devastating news on the phone and still had to commute home. Despite my best efforts I ended up crying silently on a very crowded subway car. Like, I try not to make a big noisy deal out of it but I also literally could not stop crying as I processed my grief. No one made accidental eye contact with me a *second* time LOL. But also nobody crowded me or asked me to move, and when I stood for my stop, the crowd parted like the Red Sea without me having to ask. That day I learned that there can be compassion in silent crowds

Never care about what people think whenever you cry in public, you're human and whoever can't handle a crying adult can just walk on by.

I just prefer to do in at home, in public, people tend to notice and I don't want anyone to ask what's wrong because then it all comes out to a total stranger. It's bad enough my friends know my issues.

I'd say it's a curve with the peak of "socially awkward" somewhere around 40? It'd be perfectly alright, though very, very sad, to see an old person cry in public. And they'd probably get assistance soon, similarly to children, because of the assumed helplessness. When you're "in your best years", everyone assumes you'll be alright, or that you're crazy, when you bawl like a baby.

The good thing is I care less what other people think. If the tears have to come - it's for a good reason!

You can do whatever you want as long as you have money, which you don't

Correction: stay at home

Absolutely. There's no place like home.

Or just stay home ?

A sick day when I was a kid was a drag and I never wanted to stay home. Now me when I’m sick: “Damn, I don’t have any sick days to stay home and I have to go to work anyway.” *crying*. (Only in the US)

You must be really old, if you didn't have magazines or books! Methuselah.

The best is when you used someone's that had one of those bathroom readers in it. I loved those!

I used to lay in the bath reading both shampoo and conditioner bottles lol

Omg this! When I was a little girl, I would read them as if I were in a commercial for that product. I could've sold alot of shampoo for the company!!
