    In case you forgot, there's an It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode about being quarantined. It aired back in 2013 during the show's ninth season.

    Now that we're in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, the episode feels extremely relevant, featuring some very accurate moments that might not have felt so relatable when the episode first aired.

    Let's look back at the times "The Gang Gets Quarantined" accurately captured what quarantining is like.

    1. Certain Gen Z'ers and millennials not caring enough about the elderly and immunocompromised:

    FX

    Hey, young folks, please remember that your actions have consequences and you're putting others at risk! Plus, just because you're young and seemingly healthy doesn't mean you won't get severely sick if you get the coronavirus.

    2. Having to remind your friends and family that quarantine's the real deal and no joking matter:

    FX

    Seriously, stay home.

    3. Getting drunk on your own in quarantine when you can't go out to bars with friends:

    FX

    Don't be selfish, drink at home!

    4. Getting food delivered when you don't want to cook or risk getting sick while buying groceries:

    FX

    Just be sure to take proper precautions while having food delivered, and give your delivery person a big tip!

    5. Getting crafty with protective gear when there are no masks available while having to go out to get groceries:

    FX

    It's Always Sunny fans know that the gang rarely does the right thing. But in this case, Mac and Charlie are doing everything you're actually supposed to do while grocery shopping in the pandemic. They're taking necessary precautions to not get sick and not get anyone else sick, either.

    6. Freaking out when someone near you shows first signs of being sick:

    Please, do not go grocery shopping or out at all if you're sick. You're putting others at risk.

    7. Giving yourself questionable homemade haircuts:

    Frank definitely took the DIY quarantine haircut to the extreme, but you can actually give yourself a nice haircut at home. Follow advice from pros and you'll be fine.

    8. Playing games at home so you won't go stir-crazy:

    FX

    Even if you're self-isolating, there are still plenty of games that'll keep you entertained.

    9. Eating more junk food than usual:

    FX

    Stressful times call for snacking, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    10. And, of course, becoming obsessed with using hand sanitizer:

    FX

    We all need hand sanitizer. If you were able to get some, you're very lucky! It's very difficult to get right now. So please don't hoard it.

    Just don't end up like Frank, okay?
