Everyone has had a job in the service industry and I think we can all agree that it is the equivalent to shoving yourself through a meat grinder. From terrible bosses, co-workers, and the absolutely awful customers the cast of "Friends" is here to prove that they too know what its like to be broke and run over by the rest of the human population.

1. When you get to work and nothing is done:

2. When your boss expects you to act like work is the greatest place ever:

3. How you're actually going to act throughout your shift:

4. When customers won't stop asking you for things:


5. When a customer trashes your job because they know they don't have to clean up after themselves:


6. When a customer thinks you're going to believe whatever lie they've thought up to get free crap:

7. When a customer says you have terrible service skills:


8. When your boss wants you to give a customer a sincere apology after you were just so rude to them:


9. When you come back to work and nothing is clean like you left it:


10. What you'd rather be doing with all of the fancy clothes you sell or guests bring to dry clean:


11. When your boss tries to dump their work on you:


12. When you constantly have to correct your co-workers' mistakes:


13. When you show up to all of your shifts on time and your boss acts like you're not a team player because you don't want to pick up a shift:


14. When you successfully avoid a crisis at work and the world is bright again:


15. When you get to the last hour of your shift and you get so excited:


16. When you finally clock out:

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along.
