35 Jokes About Adulting That May Comfort You Knowing You’re Not Alone

ADVERTISEMENT

You’ve got to hand it to adults. They know how to make a living, pay taxes, and keep their house in order. They know how to cook, clean, and get to their appointments on time. They know how to be responsible and accountable, other than understanding the importance of savings accounts and paying off their debt.

Yeah, no. This would be true if we lived in a perfect world where everything worked as it should, but reality can be so much harder! Adulting means you’ve got to make all those hard choices now, and most of the time, you just want someone else to do them for you, like when you were a kid.

Sometimes the only way to get through growing up is to laugh at it with some adulting humor! So here we’ve collected a list of relatable adulting jokes about the daily challenges of young adults and the struggles of dealing with those responsibilities we’d rather ignore. Can you relate too?

I once asked my 94-year-old grandmother if she was afraid to die and she said "Oh no, honey. I'm so tired. By the time you reach my age, you're ready for a long nap in a cool, dark room." I get it now gram. I get it.

Was it the one with or without the Uppercase letter? Did this one include numbers? Or Perhaps it was it the most irritatingly most forgotten one that needed to include a 'Special character'......please type your email to reset your password.

Adulthood is when you start getting sick of having to wear underwear everyday and responsibilities.

Your birthday is becoming a serious fire hazard with all those candles.

Exciting perks of adulthood: 1. Busy! Busy all the time! What are you even doing? You don't know! 2. Very tired. 3. Some kinda stomach ache??? 4. Definitely sad about something. 5. Bills! Bills all the time! What are you even paying for? You don't know!

This feels like the beginning of a monologue or a poem. One that needs to be read out loud to all the kids eagerly looking forward to the imagined perks of adulting.

Adulthood is planning to go to the gym after work but lying on the coach and drinking a bottle of wine instead.

Sounds like fun to me. (if said coach is attractive, that is.)

Adulthood is a repetitive cycle of getting over one anxious situation, then facing another five minutes later.

Being an adult is mostly being exhausted, wishing you hadn’t made plans, and wondering how you hurt your back.

When we're young, we sneak out our house to go to parties, but when we're older, we sneak out of parties to go home.

Some time ago, Robertas used to spend his days watching how deep the imprint in his chair will become as he wrote for Bored Panda. Wrote about pretty much everything under and beyond the sun. Not anymore, though. He's now probably playing Gwent or hosting Dungeons and Dragons adventures for those with an inclination for chaos.

I find myself laughing A LOT! Every time someone says "I've made a plan" or "I won't do that" or "I'll find time to do it later." Yea, right . . . Doesn't matter if I set a timer, write a list or think I'll remember, NOTHING is ever the way I thought it was gonna be. Now . . . that being said, there have been a lot of things that just "happen" to me that are world-class experiences -- meeting new friends, travel, tasting foods I never knew before. I LOVE it that no one says I'm too young for anything and I KNOW my limits. I don't have to jump off a roof holding an umbrella or drink more than anyone else. I LOVE MY AGE! I have ARRIVED! I know when someone is goading me, I know when to leave. Aches & pains? I have earned EVERY ONE and I make jokes to go with them. After I took a fall and my knee has never been the same, I like to say . . . "It's my old cheerleader injury -- I didn't know she'd go that far when I kicked her!" I'm gonna be laughing 'til the day I die!

Everytime I read about "what being an adult feels like" it just makes me even more thinking than I'm still not an adult... I'm 42, having lot of fun with life, not being tired, having fun with so many thing... who say you have to be tired or in pain to be an adult?

I was away for a couple of weeks. The guys at the Tennis Club asked my hubby if he was having fun batching it. He told them that the good thing about being home alone is that everything is exactly where you left it and the bad thing is that everything is exactly where you left it. Ha ha, no one home to pick up after you.

I realised I was an adult when I had a debate with my kids (7 & 12) about why they wanted fruit flavoured sweets when they could just eat the actual fruit. They looked at me like "Dad, what the hell are you on about". Made sense to me 🤷‍♀️

I felt like an adult when I: folded a fitted sheet to somewhat appear square shaped, had to stop shopping in younger clothes sections and go to the Misses with all the boring clothes, when I loved a clean house and everything put away, had to stop eating things that are too sweet or too rich, , started getting household gifts for Christmas and loving them, how much I enjoy making lists just so I can cross things off and feeling guilty about relaxing too long

It's about 11pm, I just made myself a beautiful burger and now I feel like going to bed. I had some energy and was a little hungry, 15 minutes cooking and assembling, and now I'm really tired and haven't even taken a bite. Pondering to eat it or wrap and go to bed; pan will wait until tomorrow for sure so I don't dump hot grease in the garbage

O.M.F.G. *I* am now "THAT ADULT"... the kind on the other end when you, as a teen or 20-something had to contact the insurance company/accountant's office/business admin/etc, etc and spoke to that 'adult person who knew about stuff and has it all together'... WHAT... *I* am supposed to be that person now??? Oh no. oh no.. the .. the other person thinks thinks I know something. They think I'm some sort of professional who has it figured out!
