If you were considering having kids you might just find yourself thinking twice after reading through these pained struggles. 

You've got to love an AskReddit thread that pays homage to those basic skills that people are for whatever reason, plain old terrible at. It's funny how life works out like that. Sometimes, we just end up falling through the cracks when it comes to picking up tidbits of common knowledge that we should really have known in the first place. Some people's brains just operate at a different frequency, where they might have no idea how to write in a legible manner, no matter how hard they tried and were pushed to do so throughout their schooling. It ain't nothing to be ashamed of. Or, perhaps you're someone who has an impossibly hard time maintaining the flow of a conversation on the phone.

I mean, now more than ever we're so dang conditioned to communicate through texts, Snapchats, memes, etc. that when it actually comes time to formulate some words, and comprehensible sentences in a dialogue, your mind can end up going helplessly blank. Or, maybe you're one of those people who can't whistle to save your life. Whistling's hard, and shout out to the people in this world that can manage to whistle a tune. While others, can't even get the thing going in the first place.

An AskReddit thread like this can serve as a powerful, humbling, if not inviting reminder that you're not alone in your pursuit toward picking up those life skills and knowledge that you know you should probably know, but just can't quite seem to get. Maybe you have friends and family that have lovingly tried to help you put the pieces together along the way. Hopefully, not the opposite, where you're faced with fielding banter and roasts from people that love to make a mockery of you not quite being able to get there.

The overriding point is that patience is key, and above all else, who really cares at the end of the day if you can't whistle or write out a letter/card that other people will be able to read? The truth is, nobody really cares. Maybe for a hot second they'll get hung up on it, have a good laugh, and give you a nice old fashioned hard time. But then, then you move onward, and maybe you find in yourself a newfound desire to take the time to actually master the very thing that up until this point has escaped your attention. That can certainly be a proactive, productive way to lead a life. The very things that can initially give us the most trouble, can somehow evolve to be our special skills later on down the road. It's like, life loves to test you, throw you off your rhythm for a sec, and ultimately see whether or not you're going to accept the challenge. Challenges can be fun. There's always a nice little dopamine rush waiting at the end of mastering that thing that gave you so much trouble at the onset. So, maybe this thread will give you new inspiration, or at the very least, it'll make you feel better about those skills you're currently lacking.

Positive psychologist, Alexis Rockley, provides a quick rundown on the true state of disorientation that our brains are in right now due to this historically difficult time. 

This Twitter thread from @calebsaysthings captures that unforgettable, teeth-grinding frustration that many tenants have had with trying to navigate apartment problems with landlords that are terrible communicators. It's just the worst. 

It's pretty damn awesome when people take to social media to vocalize exactly what you were thinking. We're not saying we agree with all these, but a surprising number weren't too far off the mark. 

Sometimes certain people and things get the ire of everyone around them, or just the universe in general. It could be a Burger King sign that tells everyone a certain employee sucks. It could be a burst pipe that only covers one person's car. It might not even have an inkling of merit, sometimes people and things just get humorously singled out unfairly.

Now more than ever the world is grieving. Lauren Herschel does a beautiful job at breaking down what the grieving process actually looks like. 

If you relate to a lot of these it might be time to look for a new job! These petty office memes and tweets are hitting close to home many people out there. The struggle is real. 

And check out some more work memes  here. 

Are you in the mood for memes? Since you clicked here and you're reading this, the answer is clearly yes. But honestly, when are any of us ever not in the mood for memes?

Is it bad that we find ourselves able to relate to most of these Funny Tweets that are vaguely sad sentiments? 

Work. We need to do it to not be hungry and cold, but other than that it's missing some benefits. Depending on their job, most people would rather just sit and be bored. And everyone's attitude at work is a strange combination of trying to do as little as possible while blaming everyone around them for doing as little as possible. It can get rough. At least there are work memes to blow off work steams.
