1.) Having the stall door of the bathroom opened on you accidentally.
2.) Spending your Friday night in watching
3.) Talking to your cats in full sentences.
4.) Not being able to afford health insurance.
5.) Wearing too-small shoes because, despite having large feet, you can't admit to that last half-size, not even to yourself.
6.) Dating a guy you don't even get along with just because he kind of resembles someone who dumped you two years earlier.
7.) Realizing that just 1 year out of college, there are already classmates of your making $100,000 more than you will ever earn.
8.) Being a well-educated and independent woman but rethinking whether or not would be really all that terrible if you became a Gold Digger.
9.) Getting take out from restaurants and eating it at home in front of the TV because you can't afford to leave tip.
10.) Realizing it's about time to shave, not because you have a big date coming up, but because it would be too humiliating if something happened to you and an ER doctor were to see your exposed body.
I think 3, 4, 7, and 10 are all worse than puberty. The rest are all just bad...but worse than getting zits on the day that you were really planning on finally talking to Steve Julius in 3rd hour? Doubtful.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. These are tough. I think some of these things in and of themselves aren't worse than puberty but their implications definitely are. For example, not being able to afford basic health care. Take that a step further and you've got a convincing case.
