I'm sure you all over read Dr. Seuss' "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," as well as the live action film that debuted in 2000. Most of us have seen the movie, and I believe we can all agree that Jim Carrey's portrayal of the title character was pretty dang brilliant. Rather than the grumpy, furry Scrooge in the book, the film wrote the Grinch as being a green, lovable introvert. Here's a list of reasons why the Grinch is a boss and basically me.

1. He accurately described what we all do while looking through our high school yearbook.

Giphy

We all have those people.

2. He voiced one of the biggest first world problem of all.

Giphy

SAME.

3. He knew when it was necessary to leave the house.

Giphy

After at least four hours of Netflix and chill...

4. He was humble when it counted.

Giphy

After you, peasant.

5. He taught us we can't go out without the perfect outfit.

Giphy

Nope.

6. He experienced first hand that people could be cruel.

Giphy

"It's because I'm green, isn't it?!"

7. He was so blunt, it hurt.

Giphy

Well dang.

8. He taught us that alone time is essential.

Giphy

Stop putting off your "me time."

9. He was the first to experience the dreaded feels.

Giphy

IT HURTS.

10. He knew that healthy food was a big no-no.

Giphy

Forget the Who pudding. Get that roast beast!

11. He taught us how to love properly.

Giphy

" Oh Max. I love ya!"

12. He had no shame. None.

Giphy

"You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch."

13. He knew the pain of unwanted, embarrassing memories.

Giphy

"Max! Fetch me my sedative!"

14. Did I mention his experience with the feels?

Giphy

"And they say his heart grew three sizes that day."

15. He expressed both the joy and dread of Christmas.

Giphy

It's both exciting and painful.

16. He knew how irritating people could be.

Giphy

This is literally me when someone is whining about something so stupid.

17. He taught us it's okay to cry.

Giphy

"I'm all...toasty inside."

18. He taught us to prioritize.

Giphy

"Solve world hunger. Tell no one."

19. He showed us to finish everything with grace.

Giphy

"I'm number one! I'm number one!"

20. He expressed the disdain of getting ugly clothes for Christmas.

Giphy

Especially the clothes your relatives get you... *shudder*

21. Speaking of Christmas, his description of its music was on point.

Giphy

I love it, yet despise it.

22. He was a softie underneath that green fur and spite, just like you and I.

Giphy

We're all good people on the inside. Don't let our outer grinches fool you.

23. He was all of us when we declared we were going to shed some pounds.

Giphy

"Yes! Down a size and a half!"

24. And lastly, he told us the sad truth about children.

Giphy

"How dare you enter The Grinch's lair?!"

Just like Mr. Grinch, don't touch me with a thirty nine and a half foot pole!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.
