Things aren't great right now, so it can be more than a little hard to keep a positive outlook.
But sometimes a good way to keep from being overwhelmed by the suckiness of it all — at least in your own day-to-day life — is by looking for the humor in things. For example...
1. You could get mad that people keep hitting their heads walking down your stairs...or you could have fun with it and hang this as a warning.
2. You could blow a gasket over the fact the guys fixing your car are watching a tutorial — on how to fix a car!!! — or you could laugh at it!
3. You could let your day be ruined by how your homemade pizza dough turned out, or you could say, "This is the breast thing I ever made!"
4. You could explode at your teenage son for endlessly drawing penises on your car, or you could get the last laugh with this birthday cake.
5. You have a choice in life — you could get annoyed by the speed bumps on the road in Norway, or you could appreciate their word for speed bumps. Like seriously, read it out loud.
6. You could rage (and worry) upon discovering this under the carpets of your newly purchased home, or you could say, "Well, this will make a good anecdote!"
7. You could be overly serious in life, sure, but you could also be a little silly — or even better — a little silly with your doggo.
8. You could get irrationally angry at your kid's inability to put spaces between words, or you could enjoy the comedy it creates.
9. You could flip out when you realize that putting on your lipstick before brushing your teeth is a mistake, or you could laugh...because look at that toothbrush, lol.
10. You could be angry at your forgetful partner, or — assuming they're a good person despite their forgetfulness — get a cake to celebrate your anniversary like this.
11. Similarly, you could be down in the dumps over the one-year anniversary of your divorce, or you could grab a slice of this.
12. You could let anti-vax nonsense ruin your day, or you could turn your feelings into a hilarious Halloween costume that doubles as a protest of sorts.
13. You could let the harsh world turn you more dour by the hour, or you could stay childish at heart and drop into the mail a ridiculous letter like this for a friend.
14. You could fume upon seeing this sign on your local fast food drive-thru window, or you could laugh at the absurdity of it all.
15. On the flip side, if you work at a drive-thru you could get really annoyed by your customers, or you could have a little fun with the situation.
16. If you wait tables, you could let out a Marge Simpson-style "Mmmm" when you see you this, or you could smile because it is pretty funny.
17. You could quietly steam over the fact your nephew evaded you for a good half hour playing hide and seek, or you could step back and laugh at his genius hiding spot.
18. You could groan when this cup is set down on your table and think, why do I have such a weird barista? or you could think, Dog pooping latte? That's funny!
19. You could roll your eyes all the way around at how much the world is fixed against those of us not born on third base, or you could read this and just go... WTF, LOLOLOL.
20. You could be annoyed that your teacher sent you this passive-aggressive note, or you could think, hey...at least they have a sense of humor and obviously care about the class!
21. You could easily fixate on all of the bad people in the world, or you could try to be thankful for the wonderful weirdos out there...like the guy at a festival who handed out these little "bags of coke."
22. You could curse the store for not having any adult birthday cards for your 29-year-old brother, or you could make the most of the situation and turn it into comedy gold.
23. You could wail, "Does no one re-read anything they write anymore?" or you could say, "Thank you, dear sign maker! Your shoddy work made me a smile!"
24. You could be mortified that someone sent you this prank mailer, or you could belly laugh and plot your own prank as revenge!
25. And lastly, you could get annoyed that your dog will only go out in the rain with this ridiculous trash bag/rain coat contraption on, or you could step back and think, How lucky am I to have this ridiculous little cutie in my life?
