    How It Feels To Be Beaten To A Story By The BuzzFeed Staff

    Nothing but respect and anguish to see here, folks.

    Hello, fellow BuzzFeeders.

    ...and greetings, quick-minded and fast-fingered staff.

    We need to talk about a thing that sucks rather significantly: the BuzzFeed staff writing about stuff that you were JUST GOING TO WRITE ABOUT OH MY GOD.

    Stop being so fast, please.

    Okay, so you see that video of Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell in Africa being a couple of super-cute goofballs.

    Your roommate, a very cool human, suggests that you write a BuzzFeed post about it.

    A splendid idea!

    Better search and make sure the staff hasn't done it yet!

    You're all good!

    But alas, it's like, a million o'clock and you're too exhausted to do it justice.

    Morning arrives and you're like:

    You check BuzzFeed one more time because you're on top of your shit.

    Aw, balls.

    Great.

    You're offended, naturally, and a little bit crushed.

    You confide in your roommate again because it's your darkest hour.

    Then you decide that this tragedy warrants a BuzzFeed post of its own.

    People care about my problems, especially if I put them in list form.

    You feel a little bit better.

    And you realize that's why the staff gets paid.
