We all know working in retail can be an absolute hell, but this account of a dude's first five days at Target proves there actually are decent days working in customer service. In just five days of tending to paying customers, he met a lot of...active...older people, some seriously funny weirdos, and a whole lot of cute kids. It may not be a gripping account, but it certainly is an entertaining and heartwarming one. 

We haven't investigated this theory, but it feels as though in the age of the smartphone bathroom graffiti is on the decline. We don't know about you, but sometimes reading some fellow idiot's attempt at comedy is more satisfying than scrolling mindlessly through Instagram. This gallery is a healthy mix of classics and some serious creativity. 

We all know about Disney's very adult Easter eggs, but have you ever watched the kids shows of your youth as an adult? There's a lot of humor that only your parents (or the kid with a lot of older siblings) would get. These little television tidbits are sure to leave you craving a rewatch of everything from Spongebob Squarepants to Rugrats. 

The clock seems to tick so slowly when you have nothing to do. To prevent yourself from staring at it anxiously, indulge in some of these memes, tweets, and comics to keep you busy. They may not speed up time, but they'll make everything seem a little less agonizing. 

Remember last year's cringey YouTube Rewind? It's hard not to. The video was the most disliked video in the history of the website. This year, YouTube has decided to repent for their sins and play it safe - with a whole lot of numbers. Instead of getting creative, the new video is more of a montage of the most statistically "liked" videos, creators, and channels. It even features controversial creator PewDiePie. 

Though the new YouTube video is decidedly less controversial than 2018's, the viewer response has done nothing but prove that people will never be happy. Commenters are already decrying the site's move to stick to numbers, as well as its absence of memes and deceased YouTuber Etika. The general consensus is that it's a cop-out video reminiscent of the "Top Ten" videos that are so popular on YouTube. The videos dislikes already dwarf its likes. With responses like this, we have to wonder what they'll come up with next year.

If Thursday's the new Friday, consider this big batch of memes and tweets a celebration. Juuust kidding. While we still have a couple days of hell, these memes help make us feel free, if only for a little while. And that's really all we can ask for.

It takes a shocking amount of confidence (or complete nihilism) to own roastoneself properly. We don't see this phenomenon often, so we're relieved to know that the r/KamikazeByWords subreddit exists. The community is the perfect way to see people destroy themselves, all in one convenient place. Happy scrolling!

Another day, another example of insane entitlement that makes us want to scream. There's very little as insulting as being told that "exposure" is a decent substitute for monetary payment, and this fine gentleman seems willing to die defending the fairness of free labor in exchange for a networking opportunity. Fortunately, the recipient of his texts stood their ground and called him on his bullshit. Giving people this kind of hell is the only chance we have of changing this absolutely insane mindset. 

Yesterday, the person in front of me at the coffeeshop insisted on paying for my dirty chai latte. One of those sweet random acts of kindness that restores your faith in humanity for at least a little while. These pics, social media posts, and memes will probably have the opposite effect on your brain. Instead of instilling hopeful optimism, these posts (and the people behind them) absolutely terrify us. And even so, they're entertaining as hell. We can't stop thecringeso we may as well enjoy it.

Remember that extremely callous and heavily mocked text template from a couple weeks ago? It seems that some more aspiring Twitter shrinks are looking to dethrone the "I'm At My Emotional Capacity" text template as the most insensitive way to communicate with someone you care about. The latest culprit in oblivious and hurtful communication comes from @YanaBirt, who took to Twitter to offer up a way to drop news that could hurt a friend in a conscientious way. 

 "Are you in the right headspace to receive information that could possibly hurt you?"

Most people on Twitter seem to agree that this is a terrible move, especially for people with anxiety. Nobody likes a "We need to talk" moment, and this is one that's dressed up being thoughtful. While we appreciate the outcry against this borderline-manipulative sentence, we appreciate the sassy and hilarious memes the text has created even more. And we've put together the very best examples just for you.

A lot of funny crap happened over Thanksgiving break, but our favorite Twitter meme has got to have been the "Is there a doctor on board" joke format. The self-deprecating snowclone, which mostly plays on a parents' disappointment in their child's career choice, is perfect for an emotionally charged and often family-filled holiday season.  It's a great way to laugh at our feelings of inadequacy and parental pressure - which definitely beats crying about it all. 

Old or young, smart or dumb, pretty much anyone can agree that this assortment of memes speaks the truth and is relatable AF. This batch features the perfect combination of fresh memes (Hello, Joker), classic themes (the pains of being in school) and even a dash of dark humor. 

Is it depressing to be extremely experienced at using memes to battle boredom? Maybe. But we don't really care that much. Because being good at memes means we can help all of you have a good time. And that's worth it.
