you misspelled wife.

[–]bravoredditbravo 90 points91 points ago

This thread made me sprint to the kitchen to start dinner.. Yes i tried to run like jonny Depp

[–]AikawaKizuna 19 points20 points ago

Ah shit, haven't started laundry...

[–]a_virginian 17 points18 points ago

My desk has fifteen empty cups on it.

Dishes...

[–]asdeon 1 point2 points ago

Fuck dishes.

[–]DrinkinBluntss 4 points5 points ago

I always try to run like Johnny Depp.

[–]Shiro2809 4 points5 points ago

I did it successfully once a few years ago. I have yet to be successful again =(

[–]DrinkinBluntss 3 points4 points ago

It's all in the flailing

[–]Shiro2809 2 points3 points ago

It never feels/looks right anymore apart from that one, 5 second run. I only stopped because I realized 'holy shit, I'm doing it properly! O_o'..I didn't even mean to do it, and it happened =(

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

And husband.

I literally did this two hours ago.

[–]I_Pee_Sitting_Up 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking exactly this. I was also thinking that there are many young people on reddit and that I am old.

I'm done thinking.

[–]PolygonNinja 0 points1 point ago

this.

[–]pussygtmehooked 42 points43 points ago

act like you're in the middle of doing the dishes

[–]jolieRules 14 points15 points ago

My SO tries this every time. "I'm letting them soak!" Never, ever works but he will probably try it until the day we die. XD

[–]supergalactic 15 points16 points ago

I'm a 'soaker'. Always have been. Always will. We're out there, and there's nothing you can do about it.

[–]a_virginian 13 points14 points ago

And the Atheists think they are the most hated and misunderstood people in America.

[–]fawker 2 points3 points ago

It does work, but if you wait until the water's cold you're doing it wrong.

[–]thecatgoesmoo 0 points1 point ago

There's literally dozens of us.

[–]a_virginian 0 points1 point ago

I should never have bought the dishwasher with the super scrub mode.

[–]Grizmoblust -2 points-1 points ago

What......? English bro.

[–]Jucoy 1 point2 points ago

I didn't realize anyone else did this!

[–]Ms_Fortune 21 points22 points ago

"Well look here mum, you weren't very clear as to what exactly I was to do. "

Oh yes, this happened a lot in my childhood.

[–]InferiousX 83 points84 points ago

"OMG i'm in trouble with my parents!" posts on reddit make me feel old

[–]KittenVicious 17 points18 points ago

Yeah. I was trying to remember the last time this happened to me, and I couldn't. :-(

[–]LadyGriggs 10 points11 points ago

my niece had something on facebook the other day about not knowing which way to put a VHS tape in the VCR. I thought "are you kidding me, I'm only 27. Stop aging me!"

[–]Jellobug 6 points7 points ago

If your niece is over 15, I'm sorry, but she may be stupid.

[–]LadyGriggs 0 points1 point ago

no no, she's 12 or 13. that's not the stupid side of the family;P

[–]KittenVicious 7 points8 points ago*

We're the same age, and I just realized the other day that kids today have no idea that the symbol next to the SAVE button is a floppy disc.

[–]Deddan 8 points9 points ago

Some do, cause old folks like us keep telling them.

Never forget..

[–]mockin_the_suburbs 1 point2 points ago

At worst, there's only four possibilities.

[–]Kritical02 5 points6 points ago

Reading these comments made me feel so much better though.

As I clicked the link I'm thinking god am I turning into him?

[–]fawker 1 point2 points ago

don't worry, the young ones will call you sir in a few more years

[–]usedtowork 1 point2 points ago

that just means you're a normal 18+ year old

[–]dudeman_whoa 0 points1 point ago

In a good way.

[–]supersauce 0 points1 point ago

I wish my mom would come home:(

[–]slayer8a 27 points28 points ago

My mom would come home drunk and never noticed. Until she had to visit the bathroom and could be heard mumbling "Thish toilets not slurrrgghh guugrrll bbllaafff clean!"

[–]NotCivil 6 points7 points ago

Have you ever considered it wasn't clean because she just vomited on it?

[–]airnoone 3 points4 points ago

How sad :(

[–]Sponda 35 points36 points ago

I always pick up a few things and make it look like I was in the middle of doing whatever was asked of me

[–]DrGnz0 14 points15 points ago

After she was gone all day and you just happened to be doing it when she gets home.

[–]Sponda 10 points11 points ago

Hasn't failed me yet.

[–]fawker 1 point2 points ago

This kind of behavior reminds me of my friends dad. He was the laid back, w/e kind of guy. His mom was high strung and really demanding. One day, after telling her he would be at work and couldn't pick up the kids, she caught him at home with the golf clubs loaded in the trunk.

They're divorced now.

[–]ILoveTrance 22 points23 points ago

YOU HAD ONE JOB

[–]Lord_of_Womba 1 point2 points ago

Pre comment: You tossers!

[–]thaspaam 1 point2 points ago

That's what I told my appendix when it fucked me over.

[–]KingofCraigland 7 points8 points ago

After pretending to be a kid again in one of the past subreddits with the new timeline thing I was really able to relate to this one.

[–]slimkwik 18 points19 points ago

How I feel when my mommy tells me to put away my toys

[–]midwestredditor 0 points1 point ago

That's the one where Londo had the insect in his quarters.

[–]jstfly 11 points12 points ago

"Mom, I'm almost positive you told me to surf reddit all day."

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

This was me everyday in the Summer back in high school. Usually a 'wash the dishes' or a 'clean the bathroom' note on the counter was ignored until I heard her car pulling into the driveway.

[–]Durpadoo 35 points36 points ago

What is this, /r/12yearsold?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Damn it, thought that was a real subreddit.

[–]reddidd 4 points5 points ago

Thank you. It's starting to fucking feel like Tumblr up in here.

[–]wooden_spoon 6 points7 points ago

I hate to break it to you, but it's not just starting, and it's not about to stop. I used to have a reddit addiction. Then shit got weird. Kids everywhere. People communicate with pictures and puns almost exclusively now. I don't GET IT. Now I have to read other parts of the internet, and it's hard. So much harder.

[–]haydugjr 3 points4 points ago

and it's hard. So much harder.

ಠ_ಠ

[–]TheseAreTheEndTimes 0 points1 point ago

Is that your determinedly aroused look?

[–]FatZombieMama 1 point2 points ago

I know that feel.

[–]Kurosakiikun 0 points1 point ago

You think that the people communicating in pictures and puns are kids? And that they're becoming the majority? You need to see this. Since when are 25-34 year olds kids. You see, it's not kids that are killing reddit, it's redditors as a whole. Stop using kids as a scapegoat, it's annoying.

[–]wooden_spoon 0 points1 point ago

YOU'RE WRONG

[–]dichotomous_octopus 2 points3 points ago

My fiance just does the first half...

[–]jack324 2 points3 points ago

shut the door before I masturbate?

[–]Jonthrei 97 points98 points ago*

every time I see a "your mom comes home and..." post and the like I can't help but feel like reddit should have age requirements.

E: Brace yourselves, the "mature" teenagers are coming.

[–]Salva_Veritate 17 points18 points ago

I haven't lived at home for several years but I can still relate because I still remember this feeling very well. Who says that a 14 year old kid made this?

[–]ar151981 1 point2 points ago

I'm 31, and this post scares the shit out of me.

[–]Kungen- 175 points176 points ago

ITT: Elitists who just moved out of their parents' house.

[–]wheresmyhouse 24 points25 points ago

I'll have you know that I've been out of my parents house for 5 years now. I still rub it in people's faces because I haven't accomplished anything else in those 5 years aside from paying my rent on time.

[–]Anomander 28 points29 points ago

It's a pity you're paying rent on a place you can't find.

[–]everbeard 0 points1 point ago

Sounds like my last five years. Except I hit it big.

[–]ThereWillBeHugs 7 points8 points ago

Hey, I'm 40. I think I have earned the right to be elitist just for living so long, even if I just moved out of my parents' house.

[–]FatZombieMama 12 points13 points ago

41, just moved back in. Though I tell people I'm taking care of the folks now..

[–]everbeard 2 points3 points ago

Where's the money coming from?

[–]FatZombieMama 0 points1 point ago

All three of us (includes husband).. pretty equally actually. We're like roommates.

[–]TheseAreTheEndTimes 1 point2 points ago

Hey, I moved out like, three months ago. I am so much more mature now.

[–]DrakelShiagur 4 points5 points ago

What does ITT stand for?

[–]rusty_shaklefurd 5 points6 points ago

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=itt

[–]wheresmyhouse 2 points3 points ago

Intense testicular tension? It all makes sense now.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I enjoy how the IT'S TURBO TIME guy has always thought that when he sees ITT, as evidenced by his example "ITT black people (nigs)"

[–]Nabkov 12 points13 points ago

'In This Thread'. If I recall correctly, it's a phenomenon which started in 4chan and the like where people would make disparaging predictions about what was about to follow.

[–]everbeard 0 points1 point ago

ITT: melvins

[–]slutmonkey_ -5 points-4 points ago

I alway thought it was, "I think that"

[–]Kataar 6 points7 points ago

Sometimes the op of a thread will use it, ie. "ITT we post our favorite pornstars".

[–]supersauce 1 point2 points ago

That's part of the reason you're a stupid slutmonkey.

[–]fawker -1 points0 points ago

moving out of your parent's house is considered elitist now? holy shit

[–]Shamwow22 3 points4 points ago

ITT Technical Institute

[–]xaombie 2 points3 points ago

Fuck that Institute.

[–]SelectaRx 1 point2 points ago

"International Telephone and Telegraph"

[–]rmandraque 0 points1 point ago

22 still live at home...well moved back a year ago. Probably will move out in a year from now.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Kungen- 19 points20 points ago

No, because I don't assume I'm superior to others just because I've moved out of my house.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Kungen- 23 points24 points ago

Implying 90% of reddit are adults who don't live at home anymore.
Besides, even if it was 90%, they could still relate to when they were younger.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Sponda 20 points21 points ago

I think the real question is: If you dislike it so much, why are you still here? This is the internet, and you have the right to leave whenever you want. Go to a different submission, laugh some. This is r/funny, not r/bitchabouthowlifechangesandpeopleshouldn'tthinksomethingisimportantthatyoudon'tthinkisimportant

[–]Westykins 8 points9 points ago

I like you.

[–]Sponda 4 points5 points ago

:D I like you too

[–]Great_Zarquon 10 points11 points ago

90% of reddit isn't going to identify with posts complaining about parents and the like

How do you explain the number of upvotes vs. the number of downvotes, then?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Great_Zarquon 12 points13 points ago

Yes, I did. And then I proceeded to watch the gif. Furthermore, I found it to be funny and relatable, even if it doesn't pertain directly to my life right now.

If 90% of reddit can't identify with this, why does it have so many upvotes?

[–]DrGnz0 8 points9 points ago

Does 90% of Reddit not have a memory? I moved out years ago but I can still relate.

[–]Great_Zarquon 2 points3 points ago

Exactly.

[–]Matthias21 12 points13 points ago

You cant relate to having a mother and forgetting to do something?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]OfficerMudkip 14 points15 points ago

You sure seem pretty intent on complaining about pointless bullshit right now...

[–]DrGnz0 4 points5 points ago

Get off your pedestal.

[–]dazheb -2 points-1 points ago

Welcome to reddit, where everything is made up and the points don't matter. This whole site is 90% pointless.

[–]Lisu 13 points14 points ago

So you cant relate to something that happened to you 5 years ago? I dont live with my parents either, but i can still relate...

[–]Renmauzuo 6 points7 points ago

So people should only post things if they're exactly like you? Sound logic!

Not everyone can (or needs to) relate to everything. Girls won't relate to "this is what it's like for guys" posts, and guys won't relate to "this is what it's like for girls." People who take the bus to work can't relate to posts about car troubles, and people who don't own pets won't be able to relate to posts about "omg my cat did this adorable thing." Who the fuck cares? If you don't like it, downvote and move on.

[–]vodkamartini 24 points25 points ago*

I enjoyed this post despite being 27 and having lived on my own for 9 years. I can relate to a lot of these "kid" posts. Not to mention it still happens when my girlfriend asks me to do something and I end up forgetting to do it. She's so much less forgiving though.

[–]KarmaPointsPlease 9 points10 points ago

If Reddit had age requirements, then all the teenagers, including me, would just lie about it. Just like everywhere else on the internet.

[–]SchlagerNinja 6 points7 points ago

So it goes...

[–]Gallifreyan_Type_40 3 points4 points ago

GET OFF MY LAWN

[–]Sponda 40 points41 points ago

What's wrong with living at home? I'm 18, and I don't plan on going anywhere until school in the fall. My mom comes home every day. And I hug her and welcome her home, and I'm proud of it!

[–]Olukon 13 points14 points ago

Precisely.

[–]alb748 2 points3 points ago

now that is precious

[–]dazheb 6 points7 points ago

I always feel awkward mentioning my age and that I live at home here. People seem to want me to move out as soon as I'm 18. I'll be 19 before I go to Uni and I'll probably come home as much as possible during that and after, before I get a real job.

[–]Sponda 4 points5 points ago

I'll be 19 in may, so I'm in the same boat. I see nothing wrong with it, everyone moves at their own pace.

[–]dazheb 2 points3 points ago

Also, my mum makes me so much food. I'll never fully give that up.

[–]Saint_of_Gamers 1 point2 points ago

I just turned 19 a couple of weeks ago. I still live with my parents until the fall when I go off to college. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.

[–]PoonGnarfler 8 points9 points ago

Get off my mom's lawn.

I'm 23 and still at home (or rather, done with college and back at home).

I'm not a neckbeard or anything, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I help out with chores, take care of the dog, and generally get a kickass house to myself most of the time because she's always on business trips.

I have 35 year old coworkers that openly admit to being extremely jealous of my living situation.

[–]notavalidusername -1 points0 points ago

GTFO, virgin

[–]dog_in_the_vent 6 points7 points ago*

I would also like to see a "kids zone" or something like that for people who want to rage about being treated unfairly by their parents or make comics about what happened in 1st period today.

[–]Kurosakiikun 0 points1 point ago

It's called tumblr

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

It's called f7u12

[–]sirjerfalot 3 points4 points ago

But then who would the veteran redditors troll?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Sponda 3 points4 points ago

Except not every person would know every character they showed on the screen. If they just used the iconic characters, then they could just look the characters up and have them memorized.

[–]buickluthor 2 points3 points ago

Does your definition of kids include everyone up to the age of 35? Because the early 90s was twenty years ago.

[–]eximil 2 points3 points ago

just replace "mom" with "girlfriend" or "wife"

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]midwestredditor 25 points26 points ago

Not in Alabama.

[–]TheTijuanaPyleDriver 1 point2 points ago

Every time I see a post about "roommates" I have the suspicion they're referring to thier parents.

[–]Kurosakiikun 0 points1 point ago

sigh Here we go again. If you have the prejudice that all teenagers are annoying, you have to wonder who's the real annoying one. Besides how often do you see posts like this on reddit that it would bother you.

[–]Zumbach 0 points1 point ago

reddit can be a place for anyone, anywhere from ages 1 to 100. Its the internet sunny.

[–]donniex7 2 points3 points ago

Anyone over 100 though... GTFO.

[–]nman649 -1 points0 points ago

Hey, if you go through my comments and posts, you probably couldn't tell that I'm 14. Please, if you find anything indicating my maturity quote it for me.

[–]ar151981 4 points5 points ago

"Hey, if you go through my comments and posts, you probably couldn't tell that I'm 14. Please, if you find anything indicating my maturity quote it for me." Thou doth protest to much. Ha ha, just kidding. You're alright kid.

[–]zombieinferno -3 points-2 points ago

I am with you, I left home 22 years ago. I feel very left out of this particular post. Where is the adult section?

[–]vxx 1 point2 points ago

Reddit is like a Bus Drive. You can´t choose who is going with you. There are kiddies and full time yelling people.

30 here.

[–]doctorofphysick -3 points-2 points ago

TIL some redditors were never children, apparently.

[–]mustquitreddit -1 points0 points ago

[–]FaZaCon 1 point2 points ago

Funny thing is, OP is 50.

[–]brevityis 1 point2 points ago

Oh god, I remember that feeling. It was a bad feeling.

[–]bacon_butter 1 point2 points ago

Oh God, I know that feel. My mom would ask me to do the laundry as she's leaving the house. 3 hours later, and they've only just been put in.

[–]raisin_bran_in 4 points5 points ago

I can't give my mum any excuse because what am I going to tell her? "yeah I laid around and jerked off while you were gone because its just so awkward when you're here."

[–]GAMEchief 3 points4 points ago

TIL 4408/7847 redditors still live with their parents.

[–]papermerc77 1 point2 points ago

I remember reading somewhere that because of the economy (or whatever, I don't remember the article that well) that it's becoming more common place and acceptable to remain living at home. Something like that.

[–]fawker 1 point2 points ago

They've been saying that for a decade now.

[–]thecatgoesmoo 1 point2 points ago

Still gets you laid just as much as it did before, too!

[–]chadillac83[!] -1 points0 points ago

I haven't had a mom come home in over a decade... is reddit getting younger or am I just getting to old to be here?...

[–]R7F 4 points5 points ago

There's always an interesting spread of people on Reddit... I think between the snarky university students, the lonely high schoolers, and the cat loving older folk, Reddit gets an interesting spread. There's not much of an age limit here so much as a culture that has developed... And that culture hits people at different life stages. 'tis the nature of the internet.

reddit is full of stupid kids now

Anyone else sick of these 'my mommy is my boss' posts? I always thought Reddit was a predominantly college / young adult site (lol) and populated with some great older folk too, not a cesspool of angsty teens.

Lol so true
