Maybe it's a nightmare. Maybe you're still asleep. Maybe 7am hasn't actually happened to you.

3. "Just 10 more minutes."

BuzzFeed

A lovely 10 minutes is far better than the hours of sleep you've just had.

4. "$%&£!"

It is no longer 7am, and that was not 10 minutes. You pressed "OFF" instead of "SNOOZE".

5. "How did I stay up watching TV until 3am? And WHY?"

BuzzFeed

It's because you didn't want Sunday to end. It's cool, we get it. We did it too.

6. "What's the point in leaving the house when I'm just going to end up back here anyway?"

The Monday morning existential crisis to which we have no answer.

7. "This isn't what I expected AT ALL."

When you were a kid, you thought that grown-ups could do whatever the hell they liked. Why did they LIE?

8. "Only loads of decades until this stops."

Retirement or death, whichever comes first.

9. "I feel a bit sick. YES! I FEEL A BIT SICK! MAYBE I CAN STAY HOME!"

Remember, licking your palms when you're 28 and live on your own serves no purpose.

10. "I'm probably not even sick enough to stay home."

BuzzFeed

BUT: If you go to work today and put in some "groundwork" coughing at your desk, they'll believe you if you call in sick tomorrow. Everyone knows that.

11. "At least I'll probably catch a real cold on the way to work and get to stay home tomorrow."

It's a good thing no one understands personal space on public transport, right?

12. "45 minutes spent staring into some armpits."

Sure, sure, this is worth getting out of bed for.

13. "All this so I can look at spreadsheets. I never even chose spreadsheets."

Send this order back to the kitchen – it’s wrong.

14. "Oh great, I'm gonna be too late for the pastry guy."

IT Crowd / Channel 4 / Via imgur.com

What even is the point of going in if you're too late for the pastry guy? Everyone knows it's all downhill from breakfast.

15. "I shouldn't be here. These people have just given up."

Arrested Development / Fox / Via tornadoallie.tumblr.com

LOOK AT THESE LIFERS.

16. "Actually, just no."

People are going to ask me questions about the thing, and I just can't pretend like I care about the thing anymore.
