When the whole world decides it’s a perfectly sunny day to turn against you (and trust me, it happens way more often than you think!), there's little you can do about it. You can sit in denial, go into a full breakdown without a return ticket, or you can laugh your ass off through staring straight into the depths of your pain.

In fact, there’s a whole online community dedicated to this coping mechanism where people share examples of self-deprecating humor. No wonder it’s such a huge success! Created in 2016, the r/2meirl4meirl subreddit has a whopping 1.3M members who come here for a daily fix.

I mean, if we cannot fight that pain, at least we can sit right next to it and have a good laugh at each other. So scroll down and upvote your favorite posts!

    I hate when people insist on calling. We have a shitty reception in this village (apparently cows arent a good substitute for an antena). So the few times that I get the calls I barely understand them. People thinks that my flemish isnt good enough but I hava exactly the same speaking spanish with my family. No matter how many times I tell them to contact me via email a lot of places (like my psychiatrist) keep calling.

    Gordon Ramseys temper is fuelled by the love and passion he has for cooking. Which proves that if you do something with a passion, you have the energy to strive for perfection. It also explains why so many companies manufacture such crappy products.
