Being A Mermaid Would Be Inconvenient AF

    We've all daydreamed of walking into the ocean as a clumsy human and emerging as a sparkly mermaid. But have you considered the long-term, permanent disadvantages that this transformation would cost you?

    1. When a potential bae tries to impress you with a fancy seafood dinner, and you politely decline by explaining that you don't eat your friends.

    2. When you're trying to apply a full-on glam look, but you are underwater, so the lighting and the H2O you're swimming in make it impossible to properly blend out that smoky eye.

    3. When you want a drink of water but realize you've been swimming in it all day.

    4. When you're trying to catch up on the daily news and the paper dissolves in your pruny hands before you can even absorb the headlines

    5. When you spent half a day getting ready for prom but get sent home due to a dress code violation.

    6. When you need to charge your phone but recall that water and electricity are a deadly mix.

    7. When your friends are always asking you to sing at weddings and karaoke, but the tragic truth is that your voice is sh*t, which is really hard for people to accept because they have been raised to believe that merpeople's vocal talent is inevitable
