If you grew up soccer player, there is a 100 percent chance that you have promised yourself that you would never be "that parent". There is also a 100 percent chance you are a liar.

The Soccer Mom and the Soccer Dad are as timeless and classic as the beautiful game itself. You cringe at them then but they, along with your coaches, are what made you into the player you are today.

1. "Can't you get a carpool?"

Just as much as you probably didn't want to go to every three a week training sessions, they didn't want to shuttle you back and forth either.

2. "Do you have sunscreen in your bag?"

You always had two bottles of sunscreen in your bag thanks to Mom. It didn't protect you from the enviable soccer tan but that didn't stop her from slipping it in there every game.

3."You need me to rub in on your face?"

No mom I'm good.

4. "You listen to me, not your coach."

Theres always that one parent on the team who used to play or has studied every world cup who thinks they know better than the coach and goes on ESPN worthy game analysis rants on the car ride home.

5. "Why aren't you playing?"

That's a really good question, I would very much like to know as well.

6. "Lemme talk to the coach."

The parent who is wholeheartedly convinced one of their special phone calls right after practice about how their kid deserves better or their opinion on the training session is actually taken to consideration.

7. "You know your brother/sister did this..."

Wow really??? I didn't know they were on this team. I thought this was my jersey, my apologies.

8. "What does that call mean? What happened?"

Some parents pick up a thing or two after years of sitting on the sidelines for your games. Some parents just have it all go right over their heads.

9. "KICK IT!! ! !!! !"

Thats's what I do to the ball yes, no that's not all you're supposed to do.

10. "You're doing great sweetie!"

When coach, the starting 11, and all of the bench is yelling at you at least someone has your back.

11. "Maybe I should coach next year?"

Please for the love of God no.

12. "I can't, I have to take my kid to soccer."

Thank you Soccer Moms and Dads for all that you do for us. No one supports us better than you.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
