16 People Who Aren't Even Pretending To Try Anymore

We've all been there before.

You have a bad day, which spirals into two, and then into a full week that then becomes a month, and the next thing you know, you're just totally over life in general and phoning it all in.

Fortunately, you're not alone. As these 16 images perfectly illustrate, there's a pretty decent chunk of the population who's just given up.

So come, take comfort in your people.

1. This woman who'd rather you just text her your emergency.

I mean, I get it. All that drama, all the time. Sure, it's people's lives on the line and all. But what about when you just need a minute?

2. This person who knows shaving takes, like, forever...so forget it!

And when you cut yourself? Don't even get me started on the stinging pain of that. Plus, think about all the money this person'll save on shorts!

3. This guy who rolled up to the party ready to rock.

This story probably involves copious amounts of alcohol and running from the police, but I bet it's a heckuva tale. We should probably be impressed he's still standing at all.

4. This teacher who's trying to start summer break early.

Maybe it's a test to see how many students are paying attention. Or maybe Professor Diligent here has just reached the end of the semester and the end of his patience.

5. This gift giver who cut costs, not wrapping paper.

Hey, at least it's kinda wrapped and under the tree. Haven't you heard that it's the thought that counts, Evan? Stop judging me, or it's going back to Walmart.

6. This man who summed up the entirety of the working class in one image.

Go to college, they said. Get a job, they said. It'll be fun, they said. I don't know who "they" are, but they're a bunch of filthy liars.

7. This person who's not even trying to talk themselves up anymore.

This person could create an online profile and go on a bunch of dates and try to look nice and present the best side of themselves. But this seems like an equally good alternative.

8. The owner of this sexy bachelor pad.

Sure, you could buy some fancy, "comfortable" furniture, but the car seats add such a nice touch! I can imagine the owner now: "Ladies dig my sense of style...or at least my mom does."

9. This woman who's not hiding her love for cats.

I wouldn't say this woman's given up. I'd say she's just come to the realization that relationships with cats are a lot easier than those with humans.

10. The maker of this cereal who laid down some truth in marketing.

Pretty sure I've had this cereal and can confirm that yes, it has a very similar flavor to gnawing on a tree branch. Welcome to your 30s, kids.

11. The person who designed this shirt...and the person who ended up approving said design.

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And other times, words will save you from buying an overpriced shirt covered in clichéd images.

12. The person who got honest with their grocery list.

You gotta give it to this shopper, they're not wasting food. You all wanna head down to the bar and buy a drink for this hero that we don't deserve?

13. This guy who's seriously committed to Jägerbombs.

I bet in job interviews when the interviewer asks him what he likes to do in his spare time, he rolls his sleeve up juuuusssstttt like this. Is it weird that I don't hate him for it?

14. This Internet Explorer employee who phoned it in.

Are any of the other sites even real? ExtremeTech? The Register? I bet that strategy session was really productive. "Hey, let's pull a quote from The Newspaper."

15. The writer who wrote this wise fortune.

But who am I supposed to love?! Or will someone love me?! How am I supposed to make decisions about my life when you're so vague, fortune cookie writer?!

16. The owner of this store who's tired of lying.

I mean, they could have put forth a little more effort and gone with "Goochie," "Prado," or "Rae Bands." But hey, at least you know what you're getting without any pretence.
