20 Tweets So Relatable We Feel Like We Should Hide In Shame

There may be a lot to hate about Twitter, but there's just as much (and maybe even more) to love about it, too. The funny tweets people make are especially great.

Sometimes, though, they get a little too relatable for our liking. It might pain you to admit it, but I'm betting you can relate to a lot of the ones in this list.

Humankind's laziness knows no bounds.

I feel this to my bones. There are so many times when I could just go and pick up some food and save money, but spend even more to get it delivered. I have no one to blame but myself.

The only reason to go to the gym, tbh.

On one hand, this sounds like a really fun activity. On the other hand, you could probably only do it once and never go back to that same gym again.

Fiscal responsibility is kind of relative.

I have never tried to buy a cat skateboard, but I've made my fair share of impulse buys after getting a surprise cash windfall. And I'm sure you have, too.

Pet parents are... weird.

I'm sure for those of us who have pets, the sentiment that you'd do anything for them is pretty real. But... maybe don't use medicine that's made for animals. Doesn't seem like a wise idea.

You have to talk about it with someone, after all.

I feel like this is what happens when you have pets but no kids, but you want kids. You have to share all that wisdom with somebody, so why not with the cats?

We were not made for mornings.

This is right up there with accidentally confusing sugar and salt. Mornings are rough, and I'm sure something like this has happened to more people than you'd think.

The eternal struggle. Same stuff, different mornings.

When I was a kid, I had such a hard time getting out of bed. Being an adult with a smartphone, not much has changed there. Leaving your comfy bed in the morning is so overrated.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure no one actually cares.

Fitted sheets are basically impossible to fold, so is there actually a point in folding them? I want to say no. Just bundle it up in a ball and stick it in the back of your linen closet. I promise no one is going to care that much.

Asking the important questions upfront will make all the difference.

I'm unafraid to admit that the best part of any party or social event is the drama. Like, seeing which people are secretly enemies is the way to go. The tea is always piping hot.

This is how you know somebody trusts you.

Seeing another person's squatty potty is, like, one of the ultimate tests of trust. You can't just let anyone know you use one when you're in the bathroom, after all.

I'm not hungry, but I'm actually very hungry.

You don't even have to be or have a wife to relate to this. This is also a pretty popular trick siblings play on each other. And friends. And kids with their parents. Wow, just about everyone, I guess.

When you're 30, you're old but also baby.

Why are casting directors acting like 30 is geriatric, meanwhile they cast people in their twenties and thirties to play high school students? How are the rest of us supposed to take that?

You can't let people know your true age, I guess.

I think we need to just come out and say it. Young people don't always know technology as much as people think we might. I'm sure most of us don't even know what HTML stands for without googling it.

Don't act normal, that's too weird.

I hate how painfully relatable this is. If you have a reputation for acting even the tiniest bit weird, people will take notice if you try to act "normal" all of a sudden.

I call it... rambling.

Have you ever started telling a story, realized that it has no point whatsoever, and literally watched as your audience's interest decreased over time? Yeah.

Impulse buying is way too tempting.

I'm not gonna lie, I don't blame anyone for deciding that this shirt is necessary for their mental health. But I really hate how impulse buying has a hold on so many of us.

I'm not afraid to admit that I'm afraid of the ocean.

Water that's so deep, you couldn't reach the bottom without crushing under the pressure? Giant squids, whales, sharks, and other weird things? Yeah, no thanks.

Please just tell me I'm doing a good job.

I think we can all relate to being weirdly chaotic and dramatic in the kitchen. After all, there's nothing more impressive than a meal you made yourself. Especially if you then talk about how it isn't even the best you can do.

My office hours have office hours.

I wish I could say I've gotten rid of my email anxiety, but the truth is, sending and receiving emails really sucks. Don't email me. Just let me exist in peace.

Pair this with not wanting to leave your bed in the morning.

The best part about smartphones is that you can use one just about anywhere. The worst part is that you always end up in your bed in the most uncomfortable position, but don't want to move until you finish that next TikTok.
