frustration

We'd really like to take this time to recognize all the bilinguals, polyglots and people who are just trying to learn another language. Anyone who's studied a foreign language knows that it's extremely frustrating, to say the least - especially when you think you know a lot and then get totally destroyed by a native speaker! It's humbling as hell, but just keep pushing through. You got this!

To anyone parenting a toddler or otherwise young child - it will get better, just stick with it. Probably. Actually we don't know because we don't have kids. So godspeed to you and we hope that it does in fact get better with age. On the bright side, you can look forward to the day your kids move out of the house and you can get some goddamn peace and quiet, right?

In the words of The Rolling Stones, you can't always get what you want. While this is true, there's very little to stop us from getting angry about it. These simple yet funny memes feature Plankton from Spongebob Squarepants balling up his fists under the word "visible frustration". The words are pretty unnecessary when you consider the tiny character's extremely palpable anger. The format is being used to depict frustration that ranges from PG to XXX, making it supremely versatile and absolutely entertaining. Have at 'em. 

If you've ever felt frustrated by your employer's business practices then this story involving an irritated DoorDash employee and customer service might make you feel a little less bad about your own situation. 

DoorDash is known for having a sketchy tipping policy, which includes paying employees (known as "Dashers") a guaranteed amount of money per delivery based on the conditions of each delivery. The issue here is that the company pockets any customer tips that put the sum above that guaranteed amount. 

This employee, Carlos, decided to call out the food delivery company for underpaying him and of course, DoorDash did everything in its power to try and stop that.

The moral of the story? Maybe take your business to a different food delivery company next time, or tip your driver in cash!

Computers are harder for some of us than others, and in a world where technology reigns supreme, it's hard to avoid them. At times it can be pretty hard to resist throwing your computer out the window in damning frustration, and we get that. These memes perfectly convey those struggles.

Attention baristas: this is a safe space for you. What do we mean by that, you ask? We mean that you're free to take off that fake happy mask here, because we understand how awful it is to feign sugary-sweetness all damn day. You're free to be your unapologetic self, no questions asked.

Parenting is hard. Like, really hard. We totally get that all you parents need a GD break from your screaming offspring every once in a while. Good thing The Nerd Dad has your back - it's an Instagram account that pretty cleverly conveys the hilarious struggles of trying to be a decent dad and partner!

We really gotta hand it to you parents - you're all brave souls who deserve a break from time to time!

Having your aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins all in one place for the holidays can be pretty damn stressful! You love 'em, but at the same time you really can't stand them. There's the poking and prodding about your love life and your career plans, and of course, there's the inevitable fight about the political atmosphere. It can all get to be too much, so here's some memes to help you recover!

The rage that'll come from being killed repeatedly by that one boss that was so close to being vanquished is palpable just reading these.
