We're talking about this nut but (freudian?) now all I'm thinking about is this

Have a upvote and a bow of gratitude for that picture.

[–]ABerko15 29 points30 points ago

First thing to make me laugh out loud on Reddit. I remember when i first moved out... After the kid gets knocked down, if you could have someone run up and kick him in the nuts too, that would be the most accurate.

[–]iamaiamscat 3 points4 points ago

This is relevant, came across it last night.

I literally just sat there looping it over for a few minutes last night. Nothing has cracked me up like this for quite some time!

[–]SalmonSaunders 12 points13 points ago

I see what you did there

[–]mad_maxx17 2 points3 points ago

Hello, World!

[–]gilroyczvr 2 points3 points ago

I moved out of my parents house at 18 and then moved out of the country at 20. At 18, all I wanted was to have my own place.

[–]thefriENTly_fighter 2 points3 points ago

I'm 18 and moved out 2 months ago after k-12 grade homeschooling, work of advice, try to avoid goin to the hospital. So. Expensive.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I'm moving out in 1 month.

What is so bad about it?

[–]Skittl35 1 point2 points ago

This probably varies on an individual basis. I actually enjoy it. Just be sure nobody comes to your place and decides to unlock / open your windows to get some air. Somebody did that at my place while I was out, paving the way for somebody else to burglarize my apartment. Good times.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I can't wait:)

I will have room mates tho:)

[–]EPIC_RAPTOR 0 points1 point ago

Make sure you trust them. Get a lock on your own bedroom door.

[–]CountMalachi 0 points1 point ago

You have dreams. You have ideas and plans about what you want in life. There are things and people you love, and those that love you. The world shits on and crushes all of these things, forcing you to accept that it's a character-building experience and that your dreams will have to come back to you tomorrow. Soon you come to resent those around you that actually do realize their desires, leaving you a bitter and spiteful human of which your present self would be ashamed.

[–]Lucratif6 1 point2 points ago

I'm the one kicking...

[–]phrank12 13 points14 points ago

What if I told you that reddit titles aren't actually a representation of the reality the OP experiences and is more likely just an attempt to be witty?

[–]pineapple09 4 points5 points ago

Agreed. I didn't move out until 19, but it wasn't that big of a deal. I've managed to (generally) pay my bills, put myself through college, and get a decent job.

[–]Apostolate 4 points5 points ago

get a decent job

Winner winner chicken dinner. It's a little bit different for a large section of the population.

[–]scruffy01 -3 points-2 points ago

A large section of population tends to forget to research job opportunities before getting a degree in Midget Wrestling Histories.

[–]lolhuman 6 points7 points ago

I'd imagine that those with more sheltered life at home would have more problems. I also moved out when I was 18 and never had any problems with anything, which has lead me to conclusion to avoid people that can not take care of themselves, their homes and so on.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 14 points15 points ago

I'm not sure it's that I was sheltered, it's just that now I have a shit-ton more responsibility. Rent, utilities, cellphone bill, car payments, car insurance, student loans, Internet, groceries, and on top of it all I have a huge space to keep clean now. It's not that I'm incapable of doing it all, it's just that it's a rather large change for me. Before I was paying for my phone and car insurance, but now that I'm off my parents plan I'm paying nearly double what I did before. That said, moving out so young is impressive. Kudos and upvotes for all three of you.

[–]stallscribble 14 points15 points ago

You will soon master all of these skills and they will become second nature to you. Your next battle will be avoiding alcoholism and you might fail for a while. Then you will forget to pay your bills and do laundry. This is known as the circle of life.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 8 points9 points ago

What about meth? Where does that come in?

[–]stallscribble 6 points7 points ago

When you're like 80, while skydiving.

[–]gkow 5 points6 points ago

When you get cancer and need to pay for treatment, but don't want to accept money from your friends.

[–]Slutmaster83 2 points3 points ago

Or even a job with a great health care plan. Your damn pride...

[–]PissedOffYoda 4 points5 points ago

Via the mouth and windpipe, usually. A small pipe is the generally-preferred tool.

[–]IsawIcame_Icleanedup 1 point2 points ago

Meth is my weekend choice. I like coke during the week to give me that little "get up and go"

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 4 points5 points ago

Did you even bother reading to the end of the paragraph? No. They didn't. My parents payed for food. They very kindly allowed me to live in a room of their house. That is all. Please don't lecture me on how to live my life, anon stranger, I dont need advice from someone who can't read a whole paragraph without getting bored.

[–]scruffy01 -3 points-2 points ago

You got a ton of help from your parents or you wouldn't be having issues.

I had no help, I had no issues.

It is a pretty simple equation really.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 6 points7 points ago

Awesome. Please continue to tell me how my life was. No, go ahead. Seriously. Why dont you make some more huge blanket statements based on three paragraphs of information and a gif. Maybe when you finish someone will come give you a giant trophy that says: "No body ever helped me and I never had any issues at all." A++ work. Carry on.

[–]scruffy01 -4 points-3 points ago

Your startling insecurity doesn't help your case.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 3 points4 points ago

It's not insecurity as much as it is frustration, and there's no 'case' here. This is reddit. This is a place I go for pictures of dogs, funny comics, and world news. The fact that you completely glossed over everything I said makes me feel like there's no swaying you. You're being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole and pushing buttons because you know you can. For the record I'm sorry to hear that no one ever lifted a finger to help you, but I'm happy that you didn't have any trouble moving out. You probably did way better than I'm doing. Congrats.

[–]scruffy01 -4 points-3 points ago

Yep, doing pretty fucking awesome.

I have a feeling you are more frustrated with previous commenters than you are myself.

[–]ComradeButterfly 1 point2 points ago

I moved out of my parent's house and out of the country at 17... Been awesome since then! With some common life stressors of course.

[–]Saint-Peer 0 points1 point ago

Were your parents able to help you with expenses once you moved out?

[–]BranchedOut 0 points1 point ago

No probs here. Left home, went to college. Was low on cash, borrowed from a bank. Why?

Because I did my work, didn't slack off in college, and secured a job before I graduated. My first step out of the house, I'm making more money than both my parents combined. Moved from a town of 20,000 to an area of 5 million.

Real life? Eh. Student loans? I pay that with my salary.

[–]underground4550 0 points1 point ago

Life can knock you off your feet sometimes...

[–]merkeyterkey -1 points0 points ago

A week after I moved out I got acute appendicitis and had to have surgery. That was 2 weeks ago...

Edit* and proof for the downvoters

[–]Paolo99 0 points1 point ago

I pick the world up and drop it on your fucking head!

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 0 points1 point ago

...that's nice.

[–]Fedelaus 11 points12 points ago

Quoting rap, Lil Wayne, if I am not mistaken. He is not threatening you, although you should still be scared.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 2 points3 points ago

This is the only time I will ever give an upvote for rap knowledge.

[–]unwanted_puppy 0 points1 point ago

:( you no like good rap? ...

I was totally not expecting this.

Thank you for actually posting good rap, even if I don't listen to it much anymore.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 1 point2 points ago

This is the rappiest stuff I listen to.

Going to University pretty muched bridged the gap for me and eased me into the real world. Was kind of easy to be honest.

[–]PolardOOd 0 points1 point ago

Yup. I regret every second of it.

[–]conman890 0 points1 point ago

Makes me laugh every fucking time

[–]utnapishtim 0 points1 point ago

My wife just kicked me out, and I feel the same way, except that after the world knocks me down, it bites my balls and won't let go.

[–]Johnnyshortcakes 0 points1 point ago

I find something depressingly philosophical in this.

[–]bluthco 0 points1 point ago

I thought wtf does that have to do with anything, who gives a shit tho that kids world just got rocked.

[–]jaogiz 0 points1 point ago

If it wasn't for your extremely-awesome title I would have downvoted you for reposting this. Ergo/vis-a-vis/a la/etc. I upvoted you.

[–]AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWYYEAH 0 points1 point ago

I really love this GIF

[–]HoldFastSailorJerry 0 points1 point ago

Genius.

[–]iClarion -5 points-4 points ago

repost, but the title makes it OH SO WORTH IT.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 8 points9 points ago

I've seen it a couple of times, but it just fits so well!

Edit: Actually while I'm at it- What makes something a repost? Is it that the gif has been used before? I understand I shouldn't post comics that I've seen, but things like gifs? For me they almost function as mini-memes. Gifs serve to create an emotion.

[–]cluelesspuma 3 points4 points ago

[–]gkow 1 point2 points ago

There's so many different layers to this.

[–]PissedOffYoda 2 points3 points ago

Doesn't matter - complaining about reposts is actually against rediquette. Downvote the complainers and move on.

[–]ThePeacoat -4 points-3 points ago

OMG. I'm a drunken college student facing real world problems too! Fuck.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 3 points4 points ago

My bills arrived today. I have BILLS NOW! The fuck happened to my childhood?

[–]ThePeacoat 6 points7 points ago

My mom asked if she could help with rent money. I cried between sobs of "yes, yes!"

[–]IZuStY -1 points0 points ago

Fuck this gay earth.

[–]phrank12 -4 points-3 points ago

I guess it was just a matter of time before someone individually posted the gifs from the "unfortunate children" gif collection that was posted yesterday. It was probably just a coincidence that right at that moment you thought to yourself, "Man, moving out was really hard, it was like some dude kicking a small scale earth bouncie ball at my face." FRAUD.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 0 points1 point ago

See post below.

[–]phrank12 -1 points0 points ago

If you want me to read something just link to it, I'm not going to meticulously search through this thread in hopes that it might be the post that "See post below" ambiguously refers to. We both know you saw that link yesterday and reposted this gif with your own spin on the title.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 1 point2 points ago

Which I admitted to. Fuck. Im so sorry for even making this joke. Who cares if I reposted it? The gif fit my current circumstances and I thought it was funny so I posted to r/funny. Why does it even matter? It's just fake internet points! There's no prize I'm stealing, no award for best post, no reason for people to not simply downvote me and move on with their lives. It's like I'm drowning here. People are calling me a liar, and a reposter, saying that I've had an easy life, and maybe I have. Just entertain for a second that all three of those are true. Does it matter? The bottom line on r/funny is that something is either funny, or it is not. If you get a chuckle from my post, upvote, if you think its trash for whatever reason, downvote. Simple. Right? Yeah. Ok.

[–]phrank12 0 points1 point ago

I drink your tears. You want people to go out of their way and let you know when you've done something good but bitch when you get your card pulled.

[–]ThatGuyWithTheHarp[S] 0 points1 point ago

If it's going out of your way to press a button, I think we have a problem. Thanks for the input. :)

Who is it? It's the WORLD.

[–]bluntmasterflash -1 points0 points ago

Not sure how this fits into this discussion but when I got back from college it was awesome. My mom had left my dad and had moved 2 blocks away. My father is a ship captain, so he was gone all the time. I had a giant old Victorian home with nothing in it but 6 bedrooms somewhat furnished, a refrigerator, a giant dining table, 3 couches, a stove, and a DJ booth. I partied for like 6 months and just sold weed. My friends and I even beat some little kids at a sub eating contest and used the money to buy beer. Now, I'm 32 and it's nothing but bills, work, family, and video games. I miss the adventure.
