Memes That are a Little Too Relatable

The Lava Shower

We all know what this feels like. Whether it was at a hotel, a friend’s or family member’s house, or even our own house, we’ve all experienced a rigged shower. What kind of person would install a water heater that makes scorching hot water with the slightest turn of the knob? Someone who wants to make our lives miserable.

Now we have to spend an extra five minutes adjusting the water temperature (talk about being wasteful!), and it’s still not right. So finally, you have to settle for a lukewarm shower, and what a bummer that is. Next time, we should consider taking a bath, then you can get the temperature just right.

Come On! I Can’t Remember All Of Them!

When we first started creating passwords, we would make one and then use it for everything. But then, some websites or applications asked for specific requirements. It was annoying, but in the end, you just changed your original one a little bit. Then some would even have the nerve to make you change your password every few months. And to top it off, they wouldn’t let you use previous ones!

Do they think we’re a memory bank? Then you start to forget what your password is and have to create a new one. Unless you keep them written down somewhere, you better have insurance on your computer because one day you’ll go bonkers.

It Gets Me Every Time 

The dishes have piled up again. And you want to quickly get them over with and go back to relaxing. So you start by scrubbing all the plates, bowls, and pans. Then you rinse them off, and the water flows off of them like a beautiful waterfall. Then you move on to the silverware. You scrub them nice and clean and then start rinsing them. But something’s about to go terribly wrong…

You grab the spoons, and the water quickly swoops around the curve and splashes all over your shirt and face. You had successfully made it this far, not getting wet, but those devious little spoons have done it again.

Sharing Is Caring

Which one are you? The one who pays for Netflix or the “parasite?” It’s one or the other. If Netflix is going to let us add people, of course, we’re going to! Why should everyone have to pay if they can share? The first person decided they wanted it for themselves, what’s the harm in other people joining if the price stays the same?

As long as everyone stays on their account, it’s ok. But as soon as you switch to the owner’s account, and Netflix starts recommending them cheesy romantic comedies, you better watch out! You might end up getting locked out. Then you’ll have to find someone else to leech off of.

Hangry Is Real

Something strange happens to us when we don’t eat. Once the hunger kicks in, we get irritable. When our bodies crave food, nothing else matters, and if anyone or anything gets in the way, they will fall victim to the wrath of the hanger. It’s vicious, and it can only be stopped with one thing; tasty treats.

No human who gets hangry should be without a snack in their bag. It’s dangerous for them and everyone around them. So the number one rule is, if you’re with someone who’s hangry, don’t say anything! Just find them food. Nobody wants to do something or say something they’ll regret because they’re running on empty.

Oh No They Didn’t

We’ve all experienced this before, and it’s not cool. You sat down first, ordered first, and patiently waited. The waiter starts walking out with a tray full of food, and you begin to get excited. They walk straight in your direction and then at the last minute, they make a sharp left and place the food down on another table. How dare they tease us like that.

Then you intensely stare down the blameless customers as they slurp up their saucy spaghetti sprinkled with Parmigiano cheese. Your stomach starts to roar even louder, and your nerves spike. But then the waiter comes out again with your food, and you forget everything and start shoving food down. Life is good again.

No, It’s Not The Weekend Yet

Waking up is the hardest! Especially when you’re waking up to go somewhere, you dread. You cry to yourself and ask, “why is the world so cruel? All I want to do is sleep. What’s so wrong with that?” Then you start thinking up excuses why you can’t go to work. 

Then you start pumping yourself up, “Ok, ok, you’ve got this.” You get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, get dressed, and down your first cup of coffee. Now, you’re finally ready to conquer the day. Until the following day, you do it all over again and wish for the weekend to come even sooner.

First Things First

Who can even remember mornings without smartphones? Before we even fully open our eyes, we’ve already gone through all our social media apps, checked our mail and any missed messages. It doesn’t even matter if you have to go to the bathroom; it’s more important that you finish with your phone. And the weekends are even worse!  

Hours can fly by, and you’re still lying comfortably in your bed sucked into all your friend’s and family’s entertaining pictures and videos. Well, now that you’ve gotten the important stuff out of the way, you can go ahead and start your day. Go on already; the rest of the world is waiting for you.

Don’t Touch Anything!

Yep, this meme pretty much sums it up. Basically, everything in the public restroom is slithering with grimy bacteria and germs. And as a result, the bathroom is now a test of your endurance and strength. How long will your muscles sustain the weight of your body as you hover over the toilet? Can your legs hold you up long enough for your mind and body to relax so you can start tinkling?

Why don’t they make it easier for us and put holes on the floor like they do in other parts of the world? Then we don’t have to worry about touching anything nasty. Going to the bathroom would be a simpler sport.

When Your Bae is the Best

When we’re hungry, we’re not the same. Our eyes dilate and turn red, our flesh warms up and the inner beasts come out. You no longer have control of your actions, the hunger demon does now. Hopefully, you have someone who knows how you get and knows exactly what to give you to release the demon. Food.

Once you get those first few bites, the rage slowly escapes from your body. Your skin goes back to its natural color, and your eyes look beautiful again. You feel like you’ve just returned from a blackout. Your heart starts fluttering when you gaze at the one who saved you, “Thank you, my love.”

I Can’t Stop

We’ve all been there. You find a show you like and BAM! You’re hooked! “WHAT, it ends like that?! No way, I have to watch another one.” This conversation repeats over and over. The hour hand on the clock spins like a record. Time flashes by, and you’ve spent hours glued to the show.

You start to feel like you’re a character and can’t get out. Nothing else matters but the show. But then, you come to the last episode, and you feel like a part of you died. You don’t know what to do with yourself anymore. Then a friend recommends a new show, and the cycle begins again.

I’m Too Hot For This

When summer is here, and the heat is smoldering, all you can think about is how much you miss the winter. You take a shower, and as soon as you get out, you’re wet again with sweat. So you take advantage of any cold thing you encounter, like the fridge, which becomes your new favorite hangout. 

Your friends and family start to think you have an eating problem because you’re always in the kitchen. When you go to the grocery store, you only buy the refrigerated and frozen things and stay clear of anything spicy. This behavior persists till fall when you’re finally free to go anywhere and eat anything you want again.

But It’s So Good!

It’s mouth-watering, highly addictive, and it can change your mood at the drop of a dime. It’s food! It’s like an unhealthy relationship, sometimes you need to stay away from it, but it’s just so good. The worst it is for you, the more you want it. Is this a catch 22??

Your stomach can be bulging with pain, pushing your pants so far your button is about to shoot off from the pressure, but you continue to devour the juicy patty dripping with flavor. It’s the price we pay for these delicious meals that fell from heaven. That’s why there are gyms, right? So we can enjoy the finest things in life. 

What’s Life Without Our Phones?

You quickly throw on your jacket, grab your bag, and rush out the door. You’re late to get somewhere, and your mind is only focused on arriving as quickly as possible. You finally arrive, with a few minutes to spare, so you reach into your bag to grab your phone. But tragically, it’s not there.

You spin everything around like a washing machine hoping it will magically appear, but come up with nothing. Then, suddenly, your clothes strip away from you, and you feel totally naked and lost. Ok, you’re not naked, but you feel like you’re missing a huge piece of yourself. A chunk of your life is gone and you don’t know what to do without it. 

The Rise of the Unwanted

There isn’t much worse than when the toilet water starts to overflow, but when it’s at someone else’s house, it’s utter humiliation. As the water begins to rise, so does your heart rate. Your eyes bulge, and you start begging that the toilet gods will make it stop before it gets to the top.

Then it either stops just before, or it starts pouring over the top. Luckily, it stopped just before. You frantically look for a plunger and begin what feels like CPR. You pull up the plunger, and all the water gulps down. You wipe off the sweat from your forehead, pull yourself together, and then walk out as nothing happened.

You’ve Got to Pretend You’re Grateful

It’s the gift-giving time of the year, and you’re so excited to see what you’re going to get. You always put effort and thought into your presents, and you only hope everyone else does the same for you. Well, it’s time to unwrap! You open the box, and it’s a hideous pair of pea green socks. You look at the gift giver, and you feel your smile quivering as you tell them, “thank you.”

All you can think about is how horrible they are and how you hope there’s a gift receipt. Then you start to question their taste, but then you quickly start to panic and think, “Is that really what they think I like?”

They Hate Me

Why is it when you buy a plant, it always looks more vibrant and lush at the store or nursery? Once you take it home, you switch it to another pot, find the perfect spot, and occasionally water it. Then a few weeks later, it starts looking sad, and the leaves begin to dry up or turn yellow. You wonder, “what’s happening to you? I’m giving you water and sun; what else do you need?”

Then you start doubting your capabilities of being a plant parent. You think to yourself, “If I can’t even take care of plants, how will I ever be able to take care of another human being?” Then you research how to care better for your plants. You give them fertilizer and prune them, and the plants start looking happy again, and so do you.

Tell Them An Hour Early

We’re all familiar with that one person who has no concept of time. No matter where they need to go, they are constantly late. You come to learn that when they say they are ten minutes away, they mean twenty minutes. If they say they’re outside, they’re two blocks around the corner.

You can plan accordingly once you’ve learned how their time works. For example, if you want to start your party at eight, you need to tell them it starts at seven. Then they’ll finally be on time. And hope they don’t ever catch on to your little scheme; otherwise, they’ll think they have extra time.

Success, No One Noticed

Oh boy! If you say this has never happened to you, you’re lying. At least once in your life, you had a sneeze so big it accidentally pushed out a fart. Your eyes widen, and you look around to see if anyone noticed. No one seems to suspect a thing, and you brush it off like it was just a sneeze. 

Then you take a deep breath in to see if it made a smell. Nothing, phew, you’re in the clear. So now you can go on with your business, and no one has to know about the embarrassing moment that just occurred. Your secret is safe this time!

Time Doesn’t Fly When Its Wings Are Broken

It’s the dreaded day of work that never ends. All you think about is the time you can clock out and go home. You keep checking the time, and it feels like it barely moves. There must be something wrong with the clock. The boss must be playing a trick on us so we’d work longer.

Knowing that time flies by when you’re having fun, you take a short break, check all your social media, and perhaps even play one game. Then you recheck the time; oops, two hours have passed by, better finish up the rest of your work. But, unfortunately, you only have ten more hours to do it.

After Hours And Hours

Nobody likes going to the DMV. It’s the place of the never-ending line. But, unless you can go during the week while everyone is working, you can say goodbye to your morning and afternoon. First, you need to wait in line; then you need to take a number, then you wait again. When they finally call you, and you feel like you’ve won the lottery. 

Then they finally call you, and you feel like you’ve won the lottery. You shout, “that’s me! That’s my number!” Everyone turns around and stares at you with envious eyes. You pridefully strut to your window. You’re so excited you’ve finally made it, but then the clerk tells you you’ve forgotten something and you have to come back again with all your documents.

Please Don’t Do Anything

Why don’t bugs know by now that their place belongs outside? When it comes inside, all you want to do is grab a torch and disintegrate it. But that isn’t very nice. So instead, you find the longest thing in the house to trap it. So, you grab the broom and try to catch it under the bristles and sweep it outside. 

But just a millisecond before the broom lands on top of it, it either runs or flies away. A murderous shriek blows out of your mouth, and then the whole neighborhood thinks that something very terrible happened. You’re too panicked to try to capture it again, so you call the bravest person you know to come over and take it out.

Please Unsend, Please Don’t Read

Aaahhh! The heart-wrenching moment when you’ve realized you’ve accidentally sent something you shouldn’t have. It’s happened to all of us, and it’s incredibly stressful. So what do you do now? Do you have time to unsend? Or do you immediately start thinking up ways to get yourself out of this horrible situation?

Depending on which application you sent it on, you can see if they’ve read it or not. If they haven’t, your fingers rapidly dance across the screen to the “unsend” or “delete message’ button. The message vanishes and you can finally breathe again. You cross your fingers and hope that they never had the chance to glance at their telephone’s alert. 

The Inevitable Spill

You were so excited to show off your new beautiful outfit. You got all dolled up and planned to eat at a nice restaurant and then have a fun evening out on the town. So you sit down and as you glaze over the menu, the waiter brings some bread with olive oil and vinegar.

You can’t resist, so you rip off some of the bread, dip in the mixture and aim it right for your mouth. Before you can take a bite, the oil drips past your chin and right onto your new outfit. And there appears an awful oil stain. You should’ve known; Murphy doesn’t make exceptions for anyone.

You’ve Got This

It’s the middle of the night and your bladder is bursting. You move from side to side to check if there’s a position in which you don’t notice it so much. Nope, it doesn’t matter how you lay, you can still feel the bubble about to burst. You crack your eyes just a tiny bit and feel your way to the bathroom.

You do your business and then contemplate whether or not to flush the toilet; it could make too much noise for your brain. Then you ditch the handwashing and fumble straight back to your bed. Finally, your head falls upon the pillow again, and you’ve successfully returned to sleep.

The Moment We Always Wait For

Good work this week; now go on and take a break. This is the moment you wait for every week, your time to be free! The time when you can officially do whatever you want and not have to think about any work responsibilities. You can stay out all night and sleep in all day. You can go away for the weekend and forget your troubles behind.

You better make the most of it because it doesn’t last that long. You’ll feel wonderful until Sunday evening rolls up. You squeeze every last moment out of the day because once you go to bed, sadness will slowly creep up, and you’ll think about how you have to wake up early to go to work. Why does the weekend go by so quickly?

For My Eyes Only

Last week you went to the most amazing wedding, and you wanted to show your friends the fantastic event. So you start the photos at the beginning and tell them exactly which way to flip through the pictures. They finish with all the wedding pics, and they continue looking through. Until they start commenting on your pet photos, you had no idea they went beyond what was allowed.

Your heart starts to race, and you panic that they might see something they shouldn’t. You quickly spark up a conversation to distract them, and you slyly retrieve your phone from their sneaky little hands. You close out your photo album and bury your phone in your bag. No one will be looking at that anymore.

Everything Has A Spot

It’s the end of a long day, and you change into your pajamas. Your clothes are perfectly fine, so you don’t want to throw them in the hamper, but you’re too lazy to fold them up and put them back into your closet. So you designate a spot for your in-between clothes, not dirty but not super clean.

This spot keeps piling up until it’s laundry day. You go through the pile, smelling all the armpits and deciding if it’s time to move them over to the wash. Whether or not you removed some clothes from this spot, a mountain consistently remains.

Too Comfy To Care

“Ah, man! I just got comfy.” Those words have come out of all of our mouths. Just when you thought you could finally close your eyes for the night, you realize you forgot something. Then you think to yourself, is it important enough? “Do I really need my phone charger? Ugh, yes. I only have 15%.”

After that dreaded internal conversation, we quickly jump out of bed and fetch what we forgot and then literally dive back in. Fortunately, the spot remained warm, but we’re still a little bummed that we had to get out in the first place. So next time, double-check everything before you get nice and cozy. 

Exam Blues

People often complain about learning one thing in class and being tested on something totally different. Teachers claim they’re just asking you to apply the information, but sometimes it feels like the questions came out of left field. And being lost while taking a test is not a fun feeling at all. 

Teachers can also get tricky with multiple choice questions. Especially when they say to “choose the best answer”. Often that prompt means that there are basically two right answers. One is just better than the other. It can feel like they’re trying to confuse you on purpose, this meme exemplifies that feeling completely. 

The Responsible Child

It’s never pleasant when your parents scold you about cleaning your room and doing more extracurriculars at school. Especially when you feel like they turn a blind eye to all of the responsible and studious things you do at home. Often it feels like you get a lot of criticism and no appreciation.

When you feel like your parents are blind to all the good things you do around the house, things get frustrating. Who cares if you play video games after all your homework is done? People can’t just work all day. There needs to be time dedicated to relaxing or people would all go crazy!

Dream Interrupted

Though many dreams can be dull or unpleasant, occasionally you have a really vivid dream where very cool things happen. Like those dreams where you can fly or have other super powers. Sometimes people even dream up interesting storylines with whole plots to them. And the worst feeling in the world is being ripped out of the dream right in the middle of something good. 

The screenshot this person chose is exactly how many people feel when they wake up prematurely, especially when that reason is an alarm clock. There’s nothing worse than the blaring tone of an alarm ruining a really good dream. And for many, vivid dreams don’t come very often. So when the opportunity is ruined, there’s a long time to wait before the next one. 

Headphones In Means No Speaking

Wearing your headphones in public locations is the universal sign that you aren’t inviting anyone to talk to you. Headphones mean you’re unavailable. Therefore when someone tries to start a conversation with you despite you giving off this clear message, it’s easy to get angry. Eventually, your patience is going to wear thin.

If you were in the middle of a really good song or podcast, that makes the interruption all the worse. When you can finally put your headphones back in you have to debate whether or not you need to start the song over or rewind the podcast. All because someone didn’t understand the universal “do not disturb” message. 

A Melody In Your Head

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head but can’t remember any of the lyrics clearly? All you can do is replay the riff until some words come out of the depths of your memory, then try to search based on those lyrics. Sometimes even that doesn’t work. Then your only option is to attempt singing the song into Shazam. And that’s never successful. 

But the feeling of knowing and not knowing a song at the same time is a terrible one. And even though Google is very smart, it doesn’t yet have a melody search. So this meme really shows both sides of the dilemma very well. A sad and lost soul trying to find help from a clueless being. 

The Downside Of Emails

Emailing endlessly back and forth at work can be a complete pain in the neck. When people don’t give you the information you need, or give inconsistent details, one email can turn into a million. Sometimes it’s much easier to have a conversation on the phone. At least then you can clarify the mistakes in real time. 

Because emails are usually more formal, you can never get properly frustrated with someone. You always have to add niceties like “per my last email”, “send my regards”, and “to clarify”. You can never say how you actually feel. But thankfully this meme says it for you. People should be able to use it as a response to all the useless emails they receive. 

Growing Up Too Fast

As you grow older, the relationship you have with your parents changes and develops. When you’re young, your mother and father are like super powerful deities that know everything and have all the answers. When you’re a teenager, they can often be the least understanding and most frustrating people. Once you reach adulthood, you realize they’re people just like you with their own hopes, dreams, and flaws. 

This meme is definitely talking about the teenage period. Those are the times when you think you’re a mature adult and want to be treated like one, but also definitely still need some rules and guidance. On the other hand, your parents are probably in denial about you growing up and need to get used to giving you freedom. This meme perfectly plays out both sides. 

What Are You Going To Wear

Picking out an outfit for an event can often turn into a nightmare. Sometimes everything in your closet looks ugly, fits wrong, and isn’t the right kind of look for where you need to go. You end up trying on every outfit in your wardrobe, leaving a mess on the bed and floor,  still there’s nothing you want to wear. It usually makes you want to bail on the whole evening. 

You thought you found the right outfit for one second, but then someone says, “Are you sure?” and you throw it off in anger. A pro tip: borrowed clothes always feel much cuter than your own. In reality, you’re probably just bored of the clothes in your own closet. 

Midnight Snack Run

Walking through your house in the middle of the night can often feel like a horror movie waiting to happen. Every creak in the floorboards and whistle of wind puts you on high alert. So much so that sometimes it isn’t even worth the trip. But when you do make the brave journey all the way to the kitchen, you end up feeling a bit proud of yourself for confronting your fears. 

Everyone has their own irrational fears about things around the house. Some people always think there’s someone behind the shower curtain, others behind the door, and even some under the bed. When you finally take the leap and realize that there’s (obviously) no one there, this meme is exactly how you feel. 

Sibling Tattle Tales

Fighting with your siblings rarely ends well. Usually someone gets hurt, or worse, someone gets in trouble. Especially with younger siblings, running to the parents for safety is their best bet of survival. But when the inevitable tattle comes, the older ones have to decide what kind of responsibility they want to take. Usually they say something like, “but I barely hit them at all!” or “It wasn’t very hard!”

Rarely does either sibling confess to what really happened. Even if they do, each side of the story is wildly skewed by perspective. Some older brothers instinctively go with shock like this Pikachu meme. They think that if the two stories don’t match, maybe the parents will let it go.
