Working with your best friend is like nothing you've ever experienced before.

You might think your friendship has seen it all, and you might think your friendship won’t change because of it. However, until you actually get to work with your other half, you will never quite understand how much of a blessing (and a curse) it is to see their faces every day.

Here are 17 things that happen when you work with your best friend:

1. Your coworkers and managers will get you confused.

2. It is inevitable that you show up wearing the same outfits at least once a week (most likely at least the same shoes or color schemes most days).

3. Customers and coworkers both will think you’re related.

4. If the other isn’t working, people will ask where she is and you will be able to look up her exact location and tell them down to the coordinates.

5. You will constantly wonder when you’ll get fired because the two of you definitely get distracted easier when you’re together.

6. But at the same time, you’ll work so well together you can finish both of your assigned duties in record time.

7. You share side work, opening work, and closing work.

8. Carpooling.

9. Even when you don’t carpool, you hop in each other’s cars before your shift starts to prepare yourselves for what’s ahead.

10. You get to make light of difficult customers together.

11. If they’re coming in to work after you, you have a built in coffee delivery pal.

12. On that same note, you have someone who can bring you coffee when you’re running a little late, or just don’t want to get out of bed in time.

13. Your coworkers will probably hate working with the two of you together.

14. There will be a “pre-work” playlist you listen to before your shifts.

15. The two of you will think you’re bringing entertainment to your coworkers, when probably you’re just annoying everyone (Are we really not as funny as we think we are?)

16. The work inside jokes mix with the growing up inside jokes which mix with the regular inside jokes...really you just joke a lot.

And lastly,

17. You realize how great it is working with your best friend, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Working with your best friend can really be the greatest experience (or the worst, depending on the day).

From my own experience, I can only say I am so thankful I get to see her on a regular basis, and we have only grown closer from working together. Although, I'm sure our coworkers don't have as many positives to say about us. (Sorry to everyone who has to work with us).

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
