Top 30 ADHD Memes For People Who Probably Didn't Finish Reading This Sentence


This gathering was put together by Imgur user unwanted10 and, as a fellow ADHD-er, I found these to be all-too-relatable and had to share. 

I always find it hard to focus during the hours that I'm meant to be focusing, yet when it comes time to go to bed suddenly everything becomes a candidate for hyper-fixation, so I often find myself having to manage this propensity to procrastinate. Heck, I'm procrastinating right now by preparing this list instead of looking at our weekly metrics. 

It's all too often that I find myself up way too late, freshly armed with some kind of useless knowledge that has been the result of the latest hyper-fixation. I might be severely lacking sleep at the moment but if you'd like I could recount to you a step-by-step analysis of how the Greco-Persian Battle of Salamis played out. 

Maybe we'll save that for another time. For now, enjoy this collection of ADHD memes. 

Taco Bell Employee Exposes Insane Stories from Working at the Fast Food Restaurant on TikTok


Anything can happen in a Taco Bell. 

People Share Their Weirdest Yet Strangely Effective Advice


If there's one thing that helps us get through life, it's each other. That is, when we're not actively hindering each other's progress. But still, learning from other people's mistakes is a terrific way to bypass making a lot of your own mistakes, because honestly, who has the time to make every single mistake for yourself when you could literally just ask someone.

Maybe the issue with advice is that we always feel like it has to "sound like advice." And that's a disservice to advice. A lot of terrific advice sounds over simplistic, stupid and weird.

Good advice doesn't necessarily have to sound profound. The mark of good advice isn't its profundity, but simply it's rate of success. And if telling yourself "no one cares about me it all" is what gets you to work every morning, that is some inarguably good advice. 

But for some inarguably bad advice, here is some of the worst advice people have ever received.

Online Debate Erupts Over Absurd Package Delivery Failure


Internet users are seeking to answer the question as to whether or not this delivery is an attempted delivery or a completed delivery. Did the delivery driver successfully deliver this package? Or is this attempt a miserable failure? 

There seems to be a solid divide in perspectives here. Some argue that the delivery person did their job to perfection, while others have made quips about how poor a job the deliverer has done; others still bridge the gap with comments like "Task failed successfully."

The thread was posted to r/therewasanattempt as clearly there was an attempt made here. Usually, the subreddit is used to post gifs, videos, and images of attempts at things that didn't quite go the way they were intended. Part of the argument would decide whether or not this image should have even been posted there in the first place.

What's your take? Failed attempt or genius solution?

 

Terrifically Trashtacular Moments That Escaped From The Dump


A great many things can drive people to become their trashiest selves. Sometimes it's a moment of weakness. Perhaps a combination of inebriation and a flash of unbridled selfishness. At times, neglect. And at other times, necessity. How else are you going to acquire your neighbor's doormat? It's just sitting outside their house and it's not like it's nailed down. And the result is some wild trashiness that's impossible to not look at. It's almost beautiful. Almost.

We try to live our lives ignoring or out-witting our most basic instincts. But sometimes they're simply unavoidable. Sometimes you take a big long look at your 1993 Toyota Tercel and you think "man, what this baby really needs is a wrap of slobbering, cross-eyed anime girls" and it's just impossible to resist.

Here are some entitled people who made everyone's day worse, as well as some of the most terrifically trashy weddings people have been to.

Karen Boss Insists Nanny Is Selfish For Taking Time Off To Attend Sister's Wedding


It's always interesting to learn how your employer values your time. All of a sudden they need you, and they go on a spiel about how you're a bad person for taking time off to do something that they knew about months ago. They'll try to make it your fault that they didn't prepare for your extremely planned absence. In this case, the boss lady went as far as to say this nanny would be "abandoning her children" if she took time off to go to her own sister's wedding.

But honestly, these just sound like the mad ravings of a person who is clawing for any shred of "not-my-fault" after completely failing to plan accordingly. They're Karen's kids. If she doesn't want to watch them on a given weekend, then she is the one abandoning them. And trying to put that evil on the person who just watches her kids for money is not only wrong and mean, it's also just stupid.

For another fun one, here's the power-tripping boss who reminded an employee that she could quit at any time, so she did.

Bad Grandma Banned For Weight-Shaming Ten-Year-Old


This Grandmother was banned from seeing her grandkids after the child's father discovered she had been shaming their ten-year-old about her weight.

The thread was posted to Reddit's r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by the father, u/Superduppppy.

We were recently discussing the "benevolent grandparent" and how it's easy, for those who were fortunate to have them, to assume that that's just how all grandparents are. It's always saddening to see stories such as this, where a grandchild is being traumatized by their grandparent, who is not acting at all like a benevolent figure. 

My American grandparents were the quintessential American grandparents. It was almost like they had been dropped out of an 80s kid's film. Summers at the lake, fireworks on the 4th, Grandpa dressing up as (a very authentic) Santa Claus for Christmas. All memories that I get to carry with me for the rest of my life. I am fortunate that I have such memories and didn't experience anything like this story from any of my grandparents.
