24 “Yes, But” Illustrations By Anton Gudim That You Might Relate To (New Pics)
Interview With ArtistAnton Gudim is an artist who’s great at noticing how contradictory our everyday life can be. Besides his quirky short-paneled comics, the artist also creates sarcastic and relatable illustrations he calls "Yes, But" that depict two sides of the same circumstance.
The idea of creating "Yes, But" comics came to Anton in 2016. This format was inspired by reflections on how people get along with a lot of contradictions in their lives. The artist found the actions of some people very contradictory: hence this "but" appeared.

One of my cats loves the scratching post, but also adores the already ruined leather armchairs (previous kitty went to town on the leather furniture), and she loves the kitchen bench. The other cat sometimes forgets what the scratching post is for, but loves one of the carpets that she is allowed to scratch. Oh well. People who want perfect furniture should not have pets that can ruin it. Oh, and anyone who declaws a cat is a garbage human being and should have the same done to them.
I had two different kitty's declawed when I was in my early 20's. That's just what everyone did at the time so I never thought about it. Years later after I found out what/how it was done I felt horrible. I now have four inside cats and my furniture is a hot mess but that's ok. I love them more than I love my furniture.
Load More Replies...When we ask cats to share their lives with us, we do it knowing what they do and need. If we cared about the damage, we wouldn't have cats.
I have two cats and thankfully neither of them has any interest in scratching furniture. They also don't like cabinets. They have one door jamb that they both love but they don't really scratch it. They more stretch and lean and then make biscuits. I have two weirdo rescues but I 💕 them.
I bought a used sofa once that was completely impervious to cat's claws. My two cats went at it daily to no avail, that fabric was like titanium..
Had a couple of different cats at different times. I had a small wooden stool, still has it, I let the cat scratch on the legs of the stool. As long as I let her do that, she never scratched on anything else. The other cat I had, I had a small piece of USB board that I let her scratch on. Again as I let her scratch on that she never scratch on anything else.
I think this is my cat, I have literally bought her any type of scratching post and even put a cover on the couch where she could scratch (it’s made for that). I don’t know what was more funny if her or me and my daughter’s faces when we clearly saw her move the cover, hide under it while she proceeded to scratch the couch. Luckily, the couch is from IKEA so it didn’t cost a lot. On another note, I found out that spraying Felaway around the couch will keep her from doing that for days and then I just spray it again. Go figure and to think I wasted a lot more money on other things.
Maybe pretend they aren't allowed to scratch the posts and cover those?
Load More Replies...not really a problem for me, once I got the scratching post they stopped torturing my furniture
Anton's ideas come from observing everyday life. As the artist mentioned in previous interviews, over the years he has trained himself to notice something and to be in a constant search for ideas. Since he has formed an absurd surrealistic style, Anton looks at the world through the prism of it. "This is the way to fight the boredom: to see something new in the regular surroundings."
I once had a painfully slow conversation with a facilities manager who was spending a crazy amount on recycling bins and notices. In the end I physically walked her to the single industrial skip where all the rubbish went into. Her disappointment was heart breaking.
Not sure why this was down voted, because I've seen it happen too. They gave all of us a recycling bin for our desk. One night I had to stay late and watched the cleaning crew empty both into the trash can. It was sickening.
Load More Replies...I feel like they should think about making a compost bin, but of course the US won't do that, that's too much like effort, especially with trying to teach people (not because people can't learn, but because too many refuse to learn, just look at the history of metric in the US)
I would love this but I rent an apartment and have no place for composting.
Load More Replies..."Pictures you might relate to" are you insinuating that I might relate to this because I feel like putting in effort and doing nothing have the same conclusion either way because of course not hahahahhahahahahhahahaha I'm sad
OMG! I saw this at Costco, after finishing a sample I remember scolding my husband for not throwing a small paper container in the recycle. He then told me it was the same, I said no, he then show me and I was shocked, if that’s the case then just make it one or the either. It literally makes no sense.
True. Insisting that pre-pubescent girls cover their nipples when they are at that point identical to little boys or else they will be considered obscene or sexualized. Refusing to allow women to breastfeed in public when THIS is exactly the purpose of enlarged breasts in women but allowing sexy images of women's breasts in advertising.
It's ironic. Breasts are only sexualized because we sexualize them! If we didn't make a big stink about it, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Here in Canada, a woman exposing her nipples can be charged with an Obsenity charge... However, if a cop is ever stupid enough to do it, he has to write-up all the shirtless men in the area to prevent loosing a Sexual Discrimination lawsuit. So, even though it is illegal, it is technically legal for a woman to walk around topless in the middle of the City... 'cause no cop wants to write-up the 200 kilo fat man.
Women are sexualized because people make them that way. If people would stop being perverted gross humans and stop saying "boobies bad unless sex!!", Maybe a lot of unnecessary things would freaking p**s off. :/ Example? Disney World sends woman home for wearing a crop top. Let man wearing "Sex, guns and Jesus" t shirt stay. Like really??
Me and my wife live in Minnesota where it is legal for women to be topless of any age in any location that it is legal for a man to be topless as long as they are not acting in a deliberately provocative or lewd manner the example in the law given was shaking them at somebody. My wife was happy to use the ruling in her advantage for the first time finally and rode around town in the car with me with no shirt happy that she just had the right to do so.
I never understood some people's controversy over seeing a pair of breasts. I'm also very Danish.
It's more of a protection thing i think. An unfortunately large number of guys get aggressively horny when women are exposed. It'd be nice if society taught men to control themselves, but sadly enough, the "short skirt/blame the victim" thing is real.
Irony, humor, sarcasm, randomness, absurdity and easily recognizable style are what make these illustrations so well received. Anton Gudim has already reached over 1.7M followers on two of his Instagram accounts and the number keeps growing!

Short-haired peeps, don´t forget to use sunscreen on the back of your neck and ears when heading into the hellscape that is outside.
Thanks for the reminder! I just got fried around my mohawk!
Load More Replies...Okay in my defense I have sensory things and having my hat on with the brim forwards- not only do I look terrible in them like that, but I'm also super uncomfortable. At least this way they keep my neck from burning
There are only two things worse than this. One being, wearing your sunglasses on the top of your head and having to squint because the suns too bright. The other is wearing your hat backwards with your sunglasses on the top of your head. I live on the coast and see this c**p all the time. The sun here is always super bright and extremely hot but people still can't grasp how to properly use hats or sunglasses.
I love the sunglasses on the back of the head bit. They squint and shade their eyes with anything but the thing they're supposed to use. xD
I have such good taste in music that I know everyone else wants to hear it!
Agreed. Car stereos most of the time can't be heard, and when they can, the sound goes away as the car drives by. It is still annoying but ends quickly. A person standing near you with a phone blaring whatever it is never stops being annoying.
Load More Replies...They're both wrong. Use headphones and stop installing subwoofers in your car smh. Sound polluters are the worst.
I can think of 10,000 things worse than noise polluters. Your comment could have been worded a bit better since at first brush it looks like you're telling people to wear headphones while driving which is very much illegal
Load More Replies...It's the car stereos that have such overwhelming bass that they're literally physically felt that bother me the most, not the random people blaring music or even well done bass, but the ones where they've literally got the bass so amped up it's shaking the entire car and those around it is unnecessary and terrible.
I hope you have one for people talking on speaker phones/facetime in public, where thebone MAKING the noise is annoyed 🤷♀️
Even worse, people who facetime while driving. I've seen this so many times, it's disgusting. And people in my state wonder why insurance rates are so high here.
Load More Replies...Either get better taste in music and turn it down cuz I ain't trying to hear that
Not everyone wants to hear someone's music don't force it on others it's rude and disrespectful especially with explicit lyrics in public and kids around. I try to not impose my music (rockabilly punk) on others
Load More Replies...I want to tell people doing this that we already knew they were an a*****e and didn't require hearing their shitty playlist to confirm it
I really hate the people with bad speakers absolutely blasting their high bass music. All I hear is cracking "bmmmmmmmmph.. bmmmmmmmmph.... Bmmmmmmmmph.." Like a*****e, get a better woofer or turn that c**p down. The only impressive thing about you is that your car sounds like it's going to fall apart
It's the 4th article featuring "Yes, But" comics on Bored Panda and it seems that it won't be the last. The artist shared that he has a lot of ideas for this format so he's planning to continue creating these contradictory illustrations.
"I don’t come up with something special: the ideas come by themselves, which means that the topic has not exhausted itself and the format itself has a wide interpretation, which almost does not restrain my creative impulses."
I'm poor so I can only afford to heat or cool one room of my home also known as the bedroom which means I eat all of my meals in here breakfast in bed isn't special it's Tuesday
you better turn off the water and remove water from the pipes or when they freeze they will expand and crack the pipe come spring you will have a food. I know someone who did this and forgot to drain one pipe. and he had a big problem.
Load More Replies...Is this real so complicated to people? Hold the plate or wrapper under your mouth to catch the crumbs. If one falls on the bed, pick it up. This is not hard.
Everybody's fine with breakfast in bed, but when you take all 3 meals there, it's "depressing". Make up your mind!
I can't stand ants in my bed so I don't mix food and the bed at all.
This will always be the case as long as people think of pets as possessions not companions.
My three pets are my brothers and sister, my children, my best friends. I might technically “legally” “own” them, but they are my partners in life, not my “things”.
Load More Replies...I'll say it and risk the down votes. I can't stand people that don't leash their dogs. I have been chased, jumped on, and had to defend myself against way too many. If your property isn't fenced in, your dog belongs on a leash to protect other people. It doesn't matter if they "just love people," it is terrifying to have an excited animal run at you.
No one with any sense is going to down vote you for wanting leashed dogs. I used to have a pitbull i always kept leashed and one time this giant unleashed poodle charged at us and the owner came running up and was like "lol he just got excited" and i said "would it have been cool if my dog had run up to you unleashed?" And he just was like 😮
Load More Replies...Why do you have a dog? He's tied up, so it can't be for security or companionship. How would you like to be chained to a single area for the rest of YOUR life?!!
Sadly most are. How many people only travel to work and back? How many never leave their town? Oh, here is a real killjoy stat to look up. How many have a passport? How about just your elected representatives?
Load More Replies...That's good to hear. It should be criminalized everywhere. It's inhumane.
Load More Replies...Never ever ever chain up your dog!!! Never. If it can't be inside and be part of the family then you don't need a dog!! Or deserve one.
Granted I live in an upper middle class neighborhood, but almost everyone has the electric fences. Best solution. There are a few glitches-power failures or dead battery
Load More Replies...Too many times it's "keeping up with Jones" mentality. Actually even worse is gifting animal (kitten/dog/bird) to a kid and them ignoring it in a day ... Their living creature you MUST invest in
We asked Anton whether he has some upcoming projects. The artist replied that he has a lot on his plate at the moment. Besides the "Yes, but" illustrations he is also creating drawings outside this format for himself, publishing books, discussing future exhibitions, etc. All this doesn't allow him to think about other projects. However, the artist shared that everything can change at any moment. "Just like I did not plan to do Yes, BUT as a separate project, but it happened."
The amount of useless bloatware that my phone has is ridiculous. Never getting another Xiaomi ever again!
I was about to comment on my Xiaomi but I saw this lol. The phone performance is A+, price A+, Bloatware F.
Load More Replies...Bloat ware only an issue if you can't take it out and if you've got the right software you can remove anything At least on an Android
Rooting a phone can be helpful for more control
Load More Replies...You could just go through your files and delete s**t you don't need or use. Android has a files app preloaded that makes clean up easy and with one click cleanup junk files
Absolutely NEVER install a third party Phone or PC cleaner! At best, they are just useless bloatware that don't actually do much to solve the issue. At worst... they are trojan horses for all types of malware or they are completely oncompetent to the point where the tool deletes important system files that will likely corrupt data and make things unrecoverable! If you absolutely must, most operating systems nowadays come with cleanup tools so just use that.
I have deleted so many teeny things off my phone, but all these effing programs I never use have to stay for some unholy reason.
As with life, the first piece of any pie is apt to be a bit of a mess but good. Hopefully as we get better at it the slices of life get better.
Load More Replies...This looks like a chicken pot pie so can't relate but at least for dessert pies, if you cut it the second it comes out of the fridge (or even leave it in the freezer for a bit) you'll have nothing to worry about. I've lost one too many lemon meringue pie slices
Ahhh lemon meringue pie is my favorite! My mama always made one for my "birthday pie".
Load More Replies...Even thou it didn't come out exactly like it should as long as it still taste good, I would eat it.
Yep my pie slice (my go to is pumpkin)always look like this but doesn't stop me from eating it
It's the truth. We just choose to ignore what we don't want to acknowledge.
Load More Replies...They should just say how many kcals per cookie and let people figure out how much they want to eat.
Calories are a terrible concept. A calorie is unit of energy,the energy people get from the food and drink they consume, and the energy they use in physical activity. If bodies are all different, wouldn't we consume/burn calories at a variable rate? This never made sense to me.
We definitely do, which is why calorie counting is so dangerous and basing your diet specifically on some arbitrary calories per day number isn't beneficial for the vast majority of people.
Load More Replies...I bought a cookie sandwich in the bakery section of Walmart one time. It consisted of a fresh-baked cookie, some cream in the middle, and another cookie. One sandwich in one plastic package. The cookie was large, about four inches in diameter, and maybe half an inch thick, but still it was one cookie sandwich. There were no scores or wedges to indicate it was meant to be shared. BUT when I looked closely at the label, it said it served--wait for it--six! Like, I'm supposed to find five other friends to split this one cookie sandwich with, where each of us ends up with a sliver?? OR, I'm supposed to eat but a slice a day for an entire work week and still have a piece leftover?? WTF?!
The saddest thing I've ever heard: my parents' church had a volunteer drive to help build HUD homes. When the volunteers returned, they talked about their experiences. One mentioned that it was a client's son's birthday. The client told her son that she would take him and seven of his friends out to buy A McDonald's hamburger. This little boy got 1/8th of a hamburger, and he was thrilled to death.
Load More Replies...I can't stand that word 'serving' in reference to portion sizes. Reminds me of my Junior High cooking teacher saying it all the time, so now I keep picturing a thin, firmed mouth whistling the 's' lady as she's staring at me with her head slightly down and looking over top of her glasses that are halfway down her nose.
You can't tell me how many cookies makes a serving. Everyone is different. Your serving size may only be three when mine is thirty.
The window screens are somehow still letting in mosquitoes (with mini trumpets)? I swear I'm not an idiot, but I don't get this.
Because they're designed to keep out flies, but mosquitoes are often small enough to fit through the screen, or they get in the house some other way (crack, open door, etc.). The annoying buzz of mosquitoes sounds like trumpets
Load More Replies...The sound of mosquitoes buzzing in my ear is like nails on a chalkboard for me but worse. I lived in Florida so I have plenty of mosquito experience.
black and white stripes deter mosquitoes so everyone dress like beetlejuice and you'll only get half as many bites! Trufax.
I was operated on my neck just 5 days ago and i almost popped a stitch hunting 2 of these little Gilespies. Totally worth it.
I think they are showing that you use the screen but mosquitos still get in
Load More Replies...Nothing worse than hearing buzzing in your ear when it's pitch black dark. The size of the critter greatly increases when you can't see it.
If I ever have a picnic, everything's staying covered up or put away until the second we're ready to eat it cause you got my fvcked up if you think I'm gonna let insects eat my food before me
If you hate them so much, mix some sugar and borax, then leave it next to where they frequent and bam: no more ants.
Load More Replies...In this illustration bugs are a problem, however, they serve an important function in the worlds ecology and now we’re poisoning them off the scene. (Fifty years ago after a few hours drive on the highway my cars windshield would be heavily covered with smears from dead bugs - that’s not nearly as much of a “problem” now.)
This is one of my worst nightmares and the reason I never go on picnics.
I don’t understand the supposed difference of pic #2. It’s her feet on the ground? So?
It's about how influensers ruin flower fields. https://guestofaguest.com/los-angeles/instagram/instagram-influencers-have-caused-the-california-poppy-fields-to-shut-down
Load More Replies...There was a farmer in Spokane who had to hire guards for a sunflower field because too many people were trampling them trying to get pictures for their instagram pages. Just randomly mowing down sunflowers to get a "perfect" picture.
Don't they understand that is theft of his crops/income?
Load More Replies...Cries in California poppy fields. (This influencer sh!t really pisses me off)
Yeah man...we would watch from a distance and be kind, while others wanna "be the flower"
Load More Replies...I still can’t get over those horrible people who helicopterred into the poppy fields and jumped out to get their picture after the town closed the fields because literally 1,000s of people were trampling them daily (https://nypost.com/2019/08/31/hordes-of-instagrammers-are-killing-californias-flowers)
Once I saw a farmer yelling at a girl for getting ‘pretty’n’cute’ photos in his crops, after he had very nicely asked her to go away and she insisted on trampling the fields. And plus she said she would sue him for not letting her on his property, which seemed so nuts a crowd was yelling at her soon enough. Stupid self-obsessed girl.
Didn't notice the hashtags at first and thought the second pic was just the pain walking around in grass with rocks and twigs and thorns and whatnot. The comments made me realize it's commentary on someone saying they love nature or whatever for the pic, but they ruin nature by walking through it.
I always do the pumpy thing; opening and closing an umbrella rapidly to shake off excess water. Doesn´t make it dry, but it´s not as drippy.
Wish I could do this but nearly every building I have to enter when it rains has no awning or anything above the doorways to give me that time to shake off the water and it's not like I can do it in the building and around other people. Fortunately I think more places (like schools and workplaces I mean) are offering umbrella bins so you don't have to carry a dripping umbrella
Load More Replies...That's why they invented the Inverted Umbrella. Not a mini, but solves this drippy problem nicely. Also windproof.
I really want them to start making them in minis. Especially the fun colored ones.
Load More Replies...I have an umbrella that actually closes the other way so this doesn’t happen
My booty is so big that if I don’t use 1 of those extremely huge umbrellas than my booty gets soaked 🤦🏼♀️
Omg I absolutely LOVE your hair 🙂 it's gorgeous 😍
Load More Replies...I hate umbrellas so much. Just trying to walk past people using them, burden of holding them, pushing against the wind, the dramatic ladies using them for every weather condition , constantly forgetting them, breaking them, replacing them....uh i hate umbrella - i should make this into a book.
About 10 years ago, I was visiting San Francisco, and after walking into some market, there were these bucket things at the entrance for everyone's umbrella. It was the coolest idea. I wondered why those weren't everywhere. To this day, I've never seen one anywhere else
More to do with lack of security - a case can be opened (and closed) without touching "lock"...
A ballpoint pen will open any zipper. Remember that next time you buy new luggage with locks. Zipper=unlocked always.
Yes, leaving your sleeping bag unattended is a small matter when you need to *go,* BUT not when your idiot little brother sticks Silly Putty in the zipper.
the lock is pointless because the zipper can be separated, allowing anyone into the bag. just takes something to push into it, or being strong enough to pull it apart.
Load More Replies...This is for me lol there are so many sad songs and songs with memories that make me cry. Yet I still sit there listening to them and crying like an idiot. My husband came into the bedroom one time like "what's wrong? Babe are you okay??" As I'm all snotty and red faced: "this song always makes me cry" "Then stop listening to it" "NO"
Is it his kid in the backseat? Why has his child applied blush in such a way? It's all about blending. You must blend your contour and blush. Ug. I hate makeup errors like this.
I think it's just the artist's style, but I gotta admit it bothered me too
Load More Replies...He's putting in his favorite songs she is in the back listening to her favorite songs ignoring him and he is sad with a tear rolling down his cheek
that's just rude. I mean, the service is called "blablacar" because you are supposed to blabla with the driver
Sometimes you don't want to bla bla with the driver and that's ok.
Load More Replies...If it's a passenger, whatever. Your music isn't going to be everyone else's. If you're a driver, and I've seen them, take the gd things off, you're going to kill someone. You won't even hear an ambulance coming.
Nature is only in balance if kids are not liking their parent`s favorite songs
Sometimes your favourite songs aren't going to be someone else's favourite songs. That's okay. You can both listen to your favourites at the same time.
U can't share your favorite songs with your kids anymore🤷🏿♀️ sad
Lol yeah, why do the waiting tickets always look like they were printed on the oldest electronic printer ever?
Or worse, they're the pull tickets like you'd use for a raffle...
OMG, I was in Lowe's today, and their sink was super weak and failed to automatically turn itself off.
You get the waiting slip AT the copy shop, in order to use the equipment there. The irony is that they're supposedly the place you'd go to to get good copies of stuff, and then the waiting slip looks like the worst equipment was used to print it.
Load More Replies...Except mines is 4 strollers……. Back b4 kids thou it was a system! Ahhh…… memories lol
Lol $2000 sound system, $800 beater car, no room for groceries. Priorities.
If you feel you must pray before playing in a competition, don't pray to win – pray to be a good sport if you lose.
Funny how athletes always give credit to God when they win, but you don't hear them blame God when they lose!
Those athletes are typically narcissistic psychopaths; they think they're the primary protagonist of reality, so their story is the most important, and their prayers are therefore more important than anyone else's.
Load More Replies...I always wonder what God does when both sides pray that they win Edit: oh yeah that’d be a draw
god invented football (soccer) just to be cruel...90 minutes of nothingness in a majority of the matches
Load More Replies...I learned he is understanding beyond our understanding. So while we are pulled at various tasks. He is fully capable of all things at once.
Load More Replies...I think people who do stuff like this do not actually know what God is about.
People who rely on god for everything make me angry💀 he ain't helping you bro, at least try to put in some effort
Pretty sure if God was looking over a sports team but not the little girl being bombed by another totalitarian country, then I think I'm going to the black book, thanks.
Just because we kill animals for food doesn't mean we should stomp and kill every other animal for no reason...
Lmao this one is funny cause I take in domestic and small wild animals that are hurt or abandoned. I re-homed a hamster. Yet I LOVE meat. It's something I wrestle with but I could never go vegan or even be a vegetarian. There's too much food I love.
I have 5 bunnies at home, and some hens and gauls too. I love my bunnies, and i wouldn't be able to kill them to eat them, but i still eat rabbit's meat sometimes. I just have the affection to my bunnies as i could have to my other pets. Yes, i know what intensive facilities does, but here's the trick for me: i completely avoid buying meat from supermarkets, and go to a Butcher shop instead. There, i personally research where they get their meat from, and it's usually a good kind, and not from intensive facilities. If i'm able to, i also have family friends that have farms and will sell us their meat, with us being 100% it didn't come from horrible places. As for eggs, i said before i have hens, so that's not a problem at all, and i buy honey from on the previously named family friends. I could never go veggie or vegetarian, cause even if i actually wanted to renounce to all the animal products, for health reasons i need to eat these foods if i don't wanna end up in hospital
Load More Replies...There is killing for sport of for being an a*****e, and then killing for purpose. i'd actually love and learn to hunt, but if i for an example shot and killed something, it would either be some kind of plague animal(i love pet rats, but f**k wild rats, they scare me) or something i can eat.
Wild rats are not "plague animals"! They are an important part of the ecosystem!
Load More Replies...I might eat meat, but I'm not going to personally plow through a family of ducks just because of that. I do think if we are going to eat meat we need to do so with more respect. Throwing away meat is the greatest disrespect. But we should also show respect in the act of cooking it. It should be cooked with the most care so that you never feel disappointed. I don't buy much meat anymore but when I do it's Beef Burgundy that took 27.5 hours to properly prepare or Tonkotsu Ramen with Momofuku style pork that took 14 hours to prepare to the best of my skills. If i go to a restaurant and order a steak that's not delicious, I still finish the steak but i just won't go to that restaurant again.
You would probably be the majority friend. Lol
Load More Replies...So.. in order to not want to be a sociopathic murderer of animals just walking across the street, you need to be a vegan? ....Just curious if anyone's seen The Vegan Teacher? Literally makes an entire group of people look absolutely horrible? I'm just getting mad Vegan Teacher vibes from this point. Lol
The comments in this post= " I love animals but I still eat meat!!". I understand, hopefully you all are eating sustainable, cruelty free, free range meat....cuz otherwise you probably don't love animals as much as you think. The meat industry is cruel to animals.
For this particular dish the ducks are raised with EXTREME CRUELTY that is the point. Of course you can eat meat and still love animals and not want to kill a family of ducks. But eating chicken fingers is different than eating like veal or Peking duck. Those are just cruel!!
I just say to heck with it and don’t text anyone at all. After 3-4 days I get all these texts asking me if I’m ok because they havent heard from me in days. How flattering. You noticed🤨
Load More Replies...Only 23 minutes and 43 seconds... depending on the company, you have at least another half hour to speak with someone... oh and stupid message that pops up every minute saying your call is important to us is so annoying, getting our hopes up and all that.
That's alot of texts in 23 minutes. Shoulda put the phone time at hours not minutes.
The reason I dont have conversations in text, person to person conversations are the only way to go. People become needy and weird when you don't see their face
Super aggravating. If I don't answer, there is usually a GOOD REASON
Hmm...boating and rowing are two different things and there's nothing relaxing about rowing but it's a brilliant workout - so I don't think I agree with this one, he's working out in one and relaxing in the other.
You're right that they're two different things, but I think the artist may be getting at us going to simulate rowing inside on a machine in a building but not rowing in water
Load More Replies...Hahaha what about my cousin that would run 8 miles on the tread mill then drive around a parking 10 times looking for the closest spot !
Personally I think that's smart... At least he'll be prepared to row home if his engine dies.
He could be rowing on the water, but doing it indoors. He only goes out to the water to have the motor do the work for him. Like working out on the treadmill but using a Segway on a hiking trail.
They queued on the line, but the train didn't line up with the line. Just the annoyance of trying to be in the right spot early and then people getting on before you because the door is in the wrong place.
Load More Replies...He's waiting right up front so he can be first but when the train stops he's staring into a window instead of at a door.
It's supposed to illustrate sod's law... turn up early and wait, but others luckily just turn up and walk straight on because of the door's position. Bit like being at the supermarket like I was tonight... wait for AGES in the checkout queue and just when you get to the front, they open a new checkout just for someone to waltz straight up aaaaaar!
He’s waiting for the logical opening. Like an center door elevator.
I think this is hysterical. He was waiting there before anyone else and when the subway arrived it stopped with him nowhere near the doors and all the people who got there later got on first. Every time 😂
The door is never where you're waiting for it; it's just how subways/trains/trams/buses operate
Well I think the ball is supposed to go in the goal
Load More Replies...I assume this means expensive equipment doesn't buy skill. I had boots taped together with duct tape, still worked. Lol
So, you had to HOP AROUND for the whole game?
Load More Replies...Silly rabbit, fancy expensive cleats don’t magically give you high level skills.
The latest and greatest isn't what makes you good at something.
Practice makes perfect. And at least they’re being used for the intended reason
Yeah, this one doesn't work. It's like expecting that buying an expensive driver will make you golf like Tiger Woods. Trust me, it doesn't.
