18+ Moments That Made Us Go ‘I’ve Been There’

It can be satisfying when we see something that we relate to, as it can both make us laugh and justify our position in life — which can otherwise seem fragile, precarious, and teetering on the edge of oblivion. Positive thoughts though, guys, we're all gonna be fine...honest!

Anyway, Joy Division-esque thoughts aside, please enjoy these hilarious 18+ moments that made us go, "I've been there!"

"I'm sure we've all been there Dylan."

As far as things go, I'm going to assume that a hotel cleaner has seen much worse than this, so you're still in the clear, Dylan.

"Go big or go home!"

I think that everyone has a load of people in their head who they would love to roll over with a steamroller...right? Guys?

"Found this thoughtful letter I wrote to my mom at age 7."

Sarah really went balls to the wall with this tactic of calming her mother down! Hopefully, her mother found this funny!

"My wife lost a bet and had to go on the scariest ride at the carnival."

Nothing like the deep-rooted feeling of fear you get when you have to go on a truly terrifying rollercoaster. I hope she recovered alright!

"Apparently there have been calls about 'dead' horses."

Someone woke me up on a bus once as they thought I had died from the way I was sleeping. I was incredibly hung over which is what I am clinging to, I can't bear the possible reality that I just look dead all of the time.

"Think I'll stay inside today..."

Nobody really wants to deal with other people, do they? Other people just ask questions, questions which I never know the answers to!

"A child drew this on the back of a kid's menu. Relatable, kid."

Good to see that the general sense of nihilism and misery is also affecting the children now as well! Hooray, sorrow and strife!

"It was my coworkers birthday yesterday, I got her this."

Everyone likes to think that they'll be there to cover their friend's shifts if they need help, but no one actually wants to do it when the time comes.

"I relate to this 'Out of Order' sign far more than I should."

I feel like I could take this picture in to a therapist and say, "This is the problem...fix it please."

"Whittling knife came with three bandages..."

My knife skills are incredibly questionable at the best of times. I only need to think about buying a new kitchen knife and cuts miraculously appear on my fingers.

"My dad found my passive aggressive note that I wrote the toothfairy. It was better than I remembered."

There was also an additional post script apparently which read, "Don't bother to write back!" Between that and the "(Not very) Dear TF," you can tell that they were really serious!

"Canadian parking enforcement doesn't mess around..."

Nothing gets between a traffic warden and their ability to make someone's day worse! They live for that, suffering sustains them!

"The joy of being a parent to three young girls..."

I remember the first time I babysat for some relatives, I was blown away by just how much constant noise a gaggle of kids can make. Christ, it's unrelenting.

"I'm beginning to think we might have a mouse."

Our cat also alerted us to the presence of a mouse in our house a while back. However, what was most annoying was that our cat proved about as good at catching the mouse as Tom from Tom and Jerry.

"When my sister-in-law was 13, she wrote a letter to her Congress-person. This was the reply..."

"If you don't let me dye my hair, I'm going to go over your head with this!"

"Pfft, what you gonna do, write to Congress?"

"Well now I am, yeah!"

"With my 41st birthday approaching, this hits close to home."

I was never cool in the first place, so I don't have to worry as much about lamenting losing my cool when I get older.

"Same kid, same."

No matter how low I get, a box of fried chicken will always be there to help. Well, not help so much as momentarily distract me from the crushing weigh of reality pressing down on me.

"The effect of Tinder on roommate relations..."

One person added to this by writing, "One of my roommates went on a date and the girl brought English muffins with her. She brought her own breakfast on a date. Respect."

"She has been there for 10 mins."

I mean, as far as ways to get out of doing any work go, this is probably the laziest. Unless she isn't trying to get out of work and is just dense, in which case...bloody hell.

"I wonder what he wrote in his job application."

Look, everyone embellishes the truth a little on their CV, but it sounds like this guy might have taken this to a new level.
