Ahhh the food industry, the high-strung, always stressful workplace. If you think balancing trays is a server's biggest obstacle... you've never been a server. Chances are when you go out to eat, your server is also serving 3-5 other tables simultaneously, been working 5-10 hours, and really really has to go to the bathroom. Mr. Hart is here to illustrate what runs through a servers mind as they run around a busy restaurant.

1. Taking care of yourself when you're sick
When I was younger, my mom took such good of me if I got sick. Now, if I puke, I have to clean it up. Gross. I also have to make my own chicken noodle soup. I wish my mom could take of me forever.
2. Making a to-do list
To-do lists are so mom-ish, but I thrive off of them. Plus, they make me feel accomplished as heck.
3. Planning your activities around the weather
It never fails to make me feel old when I say, "There's a chance of snow on Thursday. How about we do Friday instead?"
4. Scheduling your own doctor’s appointments
Most twenty-somethings fear talking on the phone, myself included. I draw the line at going to the doctor alone, though.
5. Getting your own toilet paper
Nothing makes me feel like I'm officially #adulting like picking up a giant pack of toilet paper at Target...or smuggling some rolls in my backpack.
6. Making food without needing to ask your mom questions
"Yeah, Mom? Can you use canola oil instead of vegetable oil? Okay, thanks."..."Hey Mom, me again. This recipe wants two cups of sugar, but I only have one and a half. Should I just try it anyways?"
7. Holding your tongue
In high school, I was a lot more willing to comment on racist Facebook statuses and sexist Tweets. Now, I'd rather just avoid the conflict. It isn't worth it.
8. Saving your paycheck (or your tax refund) to pay your bills
I was excited to get money back from my tax refund, but it all went right back into my bank account. When you're 20 years old, responsibilities come before shopping sprees, unfortunately.
9. Balancing your checkbook
Do people in their twenties write checks, or is it just me? There's something so satisfying about getting a sum in your checkbook that equals the sum on your bank account.
10. Going places alone
In high school, I didn't do anything alone. Now, I enjoy my solitude a little more. I walk to class alone and eat lunch by myself. It makes me appreciate my friends so much more!
11. Packing your own lunches
I miss the days where my mom made my lunches for me. Now I just make a sandwich and wish someone had cut the crust off.
12. Actually eating your vegetables...on purpose
I never thought my fridge would have carrots, broccoli and celery in it. I still don't really like raw vegetables, but I know they're good for me, so I force myself to eat them.
13. Taking a multivitamin
I've got to make sure I'm getting all my vitamins so I can stay healthy. That way I don't have to call the doctor!
14. Planning a life after graduation
Resumes, cover letters and job applications are the worst part of #adulting because they remind me that, someday, I will be a full-time adult. Scary.
Here are 10 Chandler moments that made us all see the "Chan Chan Man" within all of us.
I mean, besides this obvious one:
1. That Time He Tested Out His Flirting Skills and This Happened
2. When He Was Willing to Do Anything to Avoid Confrontation
3. When He Couldn't Handle Awkward, Emotional Situations
But, hey, at least he owns up to it!
4. How He Reacted Whenever His Friends Ignored Him
5. All of the Times He Worried About His Failing Love Life
6. Whenever He Tried to Whip Himself Into Shape
He tried really hard.
7. How He Handled New People and New Experiences
8. Whenever His Friends Got Annoying, He Was Always the Voice of Reason
9. He Always Knew How to Jam
10. He Finds a Way to Make Any Situation More Fun
Sure, he may be awkward and desperate for love, but if you're the Chandler of the group, your flaws just make you even more adorable!

For example, you are never stopped by people in the mall trying to sell you stuff, and it's secretly fun to hear that someone was a little intimidated by you when you first met.
That being said, the downside is that people always think you hate them and social events are tragic because you always looked pissed off or bored. In the end, no matter how extreme your RBF is, you probably encounter/have encountered a handful of these 11 situations.
1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.
But the whole time you talked to them you tried really hard to seem happy and friendly and genuinely thought you pulled it off.
2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.
And you can't help but roll your eyes, which probably doesn't help your case.
3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."
Not like you haven't heard that before. It's expected and doesn't even come as a surprise anymore.
4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.
You smiling 24/7 is way worse than your mean face. Trust me.
5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."
You gave up on trying to convince everyone that it's just your face!
6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.
Whoops. Better go send them an apology text.
7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.
Probably because your face doesn't really signal that you're joking, but you've learned to make it clear you're just kidding by laughing obnoxiously.
8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.
And you think, "maybe that's why people don't talk to me..."
9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.
It's a cold world out there for people with RBF.
10. Your "mad face" scares you.
*shudders*
11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.
"I can't repeat it enough that it is just my face."

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"
She could be, but who doesn’t love a self-driven woman with an ambitious mindset to destroy a man, but I digress.
2. "Is that your natural hair color?"
So funny you asked! Actually, my hair is dirty blonde but platinum blonde seems more fitting for me.
3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"
Yes, when I’m not dying my hair I’ll take the occasional trip to the library …
4. "You must really like the color pink!"
Hmmm, think what you want, but black more or less suits me since it matches my soul.
5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"
*Watches football*
“What inning is this?!”
LOL, just kidding; I’m very into sports and I know the difference between them.
6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."
If you count having a resting bitch face and being completely unapproachable as I hide behind my sunglasses "bubbly," then yes, I have a bubbly personality.
7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."
Maybe it would if I was vacationing in Nantucket for the summer; however, I probably own more workout apparel than anything.
8. "What sorority are you in?"
*Rolls eyes so far that they get stuck in the back if your head*
9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."
Actually, I played soccer and ran track.
10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."
I didn’t know geographic locations were defined by hair color! News to me …
11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"
Wrong — you picked the wrong stereotype to assume. I’m a regular at Starbucks thank you very much.
12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"
Probably.
13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."
And if I do…?
14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"
No, it’s mine! I work hard for the money.
15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"
Maybe if they came to the salon with me to dye their hair they would be.
16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."
I’m surprised about you, too! I thought you would be a lot smarter.
