32 Gifts For Anyone Who Is Chock-Full Of Whimsy
A 1,000-piece puzzle with illustrations that are equal parts obscure and dreamy for puzzlers who are up for an added challenge. Different Puzzles is just that... different. Rather than the final image being displayed on the box, each completed puzzle has a slightly altered illustration (which means surprise pieces and no idea where to put them!). Like the brand says, "These aren't your grandma's puzzles." A set of magnetic pigeon bag clips that are as strong and sturdy as the mighty pigeon herself. Pigeons rule the city outside — might as well give them a gift to embrace these iconic birds indoors too (while putting them to good use). A magnetic cat-eye gel nail polish kit for the fashion-savvy friend of yours who knows all things can be fixed with a killer manicure. Not only will they get an onslaught of compliments, but they'll also be able to say, "Why thank you, I did them myself!" to boost their cool kid ego even higher. Now that's a gift. A birthday card I am fairy-ly sure will end up being framed and saved by your BFF forever. Talk about whimsy! The ballet shoes, party hat, fairy all a masterpiece made even better by the harness hanging the lil' feral fairy high in the sky. BRB, buying this for my own birthday. A Lego flower bouquet featuring a ton of different blooms for creative folks who love covering their home in handmade masterpieces. A match holder and striker which might seem unnecessary placed beside their electric lighter but it's cuuuute. Plus, they can store six whole matches on top! That' Okay, really it just makes this look like a cute birthday cake. And you better believe that's all it needs to do. Because it is. A reviewer-adored Cozy Spaces-themed coloring book — help out your frazzled friend by tucking them into their favorite reading chair, putting on their noise-canceling headphones, and reminding them there's no need to think about anything other than coloring for a moment. This gift is here to help distract their busy brain with tiny bears making turnip tinctures and bugs decorating their overturned teacup homes. Cute. A book nook kit complete with motion-sensor LED lights that'll glow every time your bud passes by their bookshelf, creating an extra element of magic beside their impressive romantasy collection. This'll be a huge hit with crafters who care about the little details. The 3D puzzle is made of wood, and includes dozens of flat sheets with images that'll need to be punched out, folded into shape, and then carefully pieced together to create the intricate space. A bestselling pair of embroidered Chucks sure to be a slam-dunk hit with those tricky-to-buy-for folks who are ~bugged~ by impractical gifts but are so gosh darn quirky you wanna find a gift that's also fun. You've come to the right pair of kicks, pal! A pair of gemstone soaps that'll delight the ~gem~ of a friend in your life who loves a decorative bar soap. Who wouldn't love getting a useful gift that rocks as much as this?! A woven snail shelf sure to lift the spirits of anyone who is feeling the effects of their bland, expensive rental. Even if they're not the sort of person known to shell out compliments, you're sure to deserve a round of applause over your gift-giving skills with this one! And a silly snail soap dispenser — don't be sluggish about adding this ridiculous piece of home decor to your gifting rotation. Folks are gonna love washing their hands with soapy goo from this tiny guy! A cloud squiggle tray for keeping their *treasured* odds and ends somewhere eye-catching and easy to reach. A set of mushroom bookmarks — these bookmarks are gonna grow on them as quickly as their accidental ACOTAR fandom did. Good job getting them into ACOTAR, you're a good influence on them. A bottle of drinkable glitter for convincing your dehydrated bud that staying hydrated is cool. Just a spoonful of *glitter* helps the beverage go down! A heart-shape baking scale so that the home baker in your life knows how much you love them every time they get their scale out to measure how many grams of cake flower they need. And, in turn, they might invite you to come over and snack on the black and white cookies they end up making. Which is fine, that's totally fine! Mystic Maze — a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle that'll reveal a secret "magic trick" when they're finished. BTW, there are 50 Easter eggs hidden in the intricate design, making this mysterious puzzle a gripping game until the very last piece is in place. A glass teapot for making their tea time an even more serene experience with visible blooming tea flowers. A unicorn-head squirrel feeder that'll turn the squirrels in their yard into a cryptid so magnificent even The Moth Man would be jealous. A pack of strawberry candles sure to shoo seasonal depression away with their sweet berry smell and strikingly realistic look. Want to properly celebrate your summer-loving sweetheart getting through the winter? Throw these on top of a strawberry cheesecake and dig in! Delicious. And a strawberry tea kettle that'll look ~berry~ cute on their stovetop. A nature photograph featuring some a-corny cuties — they're gonna love having these forest friends in their home. Waldorf woodland creatures — each open-ended shape is designed with holes that'll easily fit different twigs, stems, petals, and leaves your flower child friend finds out in the yard or on nature walks, letting them create their own tiny wildlife creatures. A mini charm bracelet FOR THEIR TUMBLER, because your water bottle and your BFF's water bottle are *also* best friends, and they deserve best friend bracelets to prove it! A coral-colored Furby so the nostalgic soul you love can enjoy an upgraded version of this imaginative classic. The voice-activated animatronic toy has more than 600 reactions and is always ready for a dance party. It can even talk to other Furbies, naturally. A hanging fruit hook that'll add to their home's stunning secret garden aesthetic. These charming metal hangers put the "fun" in "functional," folks! A lit willow vine so they can add ethereal lighting to their room rather than let their rental's glaring overhead light destroy their zen. A hot air balloon model with intricate details, including hand-applied balloon strips, a rattan basket, and hand-woven webbing that recreates a classic 18th-century design. This scaled-down decor will make any empty corner instantly memorable. A pack of three collapsible lanterns to add some life to their place, even if they don't have ~mushroom~ to decorate. Now you get to be the ~fungi~ gifting gorgeous forest floor wall decor! Good going. A set of iridescent forest window clings to cover their apartment's windows, creating some privacy *and* turning their bedroom into a rainbow kaleidoscope paradise every time the sun hits just right. A northern lights projector that'll play soothing noises and double as a Bluetooth speaker! If you are both planning a trip to see the aurora someday but currently have the budget to travel no farther than down the block, this satisfying gift can give them a slice of the northern lights from their ceiling. And finally, a 100% cotton market tote bag with embroidered fruits and vegetables made from saved fabric scraps! Gift this to someone in your life who loves supporting small, who spends their weekends strolling through the farmer's market year-round (think of all the produce they could fit in here!). This tote has a whopping *five* interior pockets, also making it a great bag for everyday use. Phone, keys, wallet, hot has its own special spot.

29 Springy Pieces To Pick Up Now If You're Slamming The Door Shut On Your Cold-Weather Wardrobe
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. 🎵 Let's go girls 🎵 (girls being your tank tops, mini skirts, and bodysuits, obvi) Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A pair of extra-wide-leg darted palazzo pants that allow for ample airflow. It's basically like wearing a dress, but you don't have to worry about accidentally flashing anyone if a gust of wind catches you by surprise. Promising review:"I saw these on TikTok, and I had to try them out. I am short, so I was expecting them to be long, but they are very long. I am just gonna get them tailored. I am buying more, though, because they are absolutely beautiful! I've gotten so many compliments on them!" — Bretta Little Get them from Amazon for $27.97+ (available in sizes XS—2X, short sizes, and 28 colors). 2. A strappy dress in a trusty floral print that won't soon go out of style — which is fantastic, considering the piece will last you many seasons to come. See it on TikTok! Psst — this dress also gets a lot of hype for looking veryyy similar to Réalisation Par's $250 Alba dress. Promising reviews: "Saw it on TikTok and couldn't help myself. Looks exactly like it does in the videos and it's very cute. Can be worn with sneakers and/or heels. Just as chic either way. Satin-like feel. Love it." — Siva Tibet "My friend owns the real deal Réalisation Par dress and let me borrow it for an event, and afterward I knew I was in love and needed it for myself. In searching the internet high and low for an alternative, I found this and honestly it's perfect. It fits amazing, and looks exactly like the real thing. I will be candidly honest, the stitching is a little wonky on some of the sides, but hardly noticeable to others. I will totally buy another one of these dresses in another print. I get so many compliments every time I wear it." — Zoey Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 10 styles, including a shorter version). 3. A strapless mesh bustier if you own a bajillion bottoms but never seem to have a worthy top to wear them out with. PS: reviewers with bigger busts — like G and H cups — even swear by its support! Promising review:"I purchased this corset after watching a TikTok video of another midsized girl talking about how great it is. It did not disappoint! It fits nicely. I got lots of compliments on it! Someone else pointed out to me that the fabric looks expensive and just like another bustier listed on PrettyLittleThings for over twice the price." — Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes 00–20 and in 15 colors). 4. A pair of drawstring-waist jeans that will take your typical fit — a plain T-shirt and well-loved Chucks — to the next level. Eloquii Get them from Eloquii for $69.96 (originally $99.95; available in sizes 14–28). 5. Or a pair of viral cargo pants with pockets for everything you could possibly want to keep on your person. Phone, keys, wallet, gum, Hi-Chew? Check. You could even store your leftover tots Napoleon Dynamite -style. Check out a TikTok of the cargo pants. Promising review: "I love, love, love these cargos! They fit so nice (and they make your butt look nice lol) I want to get every color. I could have sized up because of the drawstring, but I still like how they fit! I get compliments on them so much." — Asia Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in men's sizes 27–44 and 45 colors). 6. A long-sleeve bodysuit in a deliciously soft fabric — known as Smoke Cloud — that reviewers compare to Skims. They say it washes well, too, so you can count on it being high quality despite the deceivingly low price! And BTW, reviewers say the double lining in the torso is supportive, so they don't need to wear a bra. Promising review: "Are you kidding me? This is the softest most comfortable body suit I've ever owned. I got so many compliments lol; everyone did think they were Skims lol, but it's definitely worth every penny. I love and will be getting more colors!!! You need it." — Wendy L. Get it from Amazon for $24.64+ (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 15 colors). And check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here. 7. A tennis skort with built-in shorts so you don't have to worry about flashing anyone or chafing! Sounds pretty ideal to me. Promising review: "SO COMFY AND SO CUTE. I never want to wear anything else haha. They don't ride up, they're high waisted, the fabric is great and not super more could you want?! Definitely going to get some more in other colors!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $17.58+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors). 8. A cropped sweater-vest sure to bring a smile to your face every time you pull it on. I mean 🍓 🍓 🍓...! Promising review:"This is one of my favorite things I've ever ordered from Amazon. I got the green one, and it is so cute! Worth the money. :)" — Serena Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in two colors/patterns) 9. A pair of relaxed linen overalls with two mega pockets and a relaxed silhouette that says: "adult onesie, but make it fashion." Promising review: "These are perfect to wear casually over a T-shirt to go shopping, run errands, or bum around at home. The fit is pretty baggy which I was hoping for, and the material is very light. I read other reviews and sized down. Very cute!" — Kimberly Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and in 11 colors/patterns). 10. A Levi's denim jacket I won't even waste your time explaining. You and I both KNOW there's nothing more versatile. Amazon Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket!!! It goes with just about everything, and is comfortable. I went up a size after reading some of the reviews, and that worked out well for me. The length of the jacket is also a nice feature, it hits right about the hip, and is not a midriff. I'm really glad I ordered this jacket, it's so cute, and I know it will last a lifetime, Levi's makes the best denim wear as far as I'm concerned." — Jo Packer Get it from Amazon for $44.25+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 1X–4X and in nine washes). 11. A high-waisted swing skirt that's as easy to style as a trusty pair of jeans. Add a tank, tee, sweater, or jean jacket on top and go wild with your footwear — there's no wrong way to finish the equation. Promising review: "I love, love, love this skirt! I love it so much that I immediately bought four more in different colors. It's high waisted and the perfect length without being too short. If you're on the fence... get the skirt! I found the polka-dotted ones are true to size while the florals are more snug with less stretch." — Kara DiBie Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 36 colors/prints). 12. A ruched bodycon dress with a simple silhouette made more exciting by adjustable ties. Slip on some color-coordinated sandals or chunky sneakers and you're all done, bb! Promising review: "This thing fits like a dream! I am a pretty 'chesty' person so dresses can sometimes be hit or miss. But this is perfect. I did size down and it fit me perfectly. 10/10. I'm buying more colors too." — Ashley Patterson Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors). 13. A puff-sleeve midi dress made from such a light, airy fabric, one reviewer even says it's suitable for Texas weather which is really somethin' if you haven't experienced it... Promising review: "I LOVE this dress. It's so versatile, lightweight, and NOT see-through. I can wear it into the office with the right shoes/heels, casually with boots/sneakers, and I always get a compliment on this dress anytime I wear it. At first, I was worried because I'm petite (5'2'), and I thought this might swallow me/make me look like Dobby the Elf, but I absolutely love this dress and how it makes me look. If you're looking for a great and multi-use dress, then look no further." — JordanM Get it from Amazon for $33.59+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 33 styles). 14. A cheery floral cardigan that — if you're asking yourself WWHSD? (That's what would Harry Styles do? ofc) — would look great with a set of pearls. Amazon, Promising review: "This cardi is very well made and I get a lot of compliments every time I wear it. It is a good value for the price and true to size." — TRB Get it from Amazon for $34.68 (available in sizes XS–XL and in nine colors). 15. A tiered maxi dress so comfortable and easy to wear, you will do the sniff test on it to see how many more times you can wear it before washing. Promising review: "Love the adjustable straps, pockets, and light brushed canvas feel of the dress. Does show sweat stains pretty quickly, but I'll be buying a darker color for hot mom summer." — Modern Day Moguls Get it from Amazon for $59.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 18 colors). 16. A three-tier bohemian skirt that will have you feeling yourself so much, you'll stop for impromptu photo shoots anytime you pass something even remotely ~aesthetic~. AKA a flowering tree, some impressive graffiti, or even just a patch of well-watered grass. Promising review: "This by far is my most favorite skirt. I am a skirt wearier anyways, so I have quite a few. Every time I wear it I get several compliments. I pair it with several tops. It fits great, is lightweight, and has a half slip already sewed into it. I have now bought three more of these in different colors." — Sherry Charlene Seres Get it from Amazon for $21.69+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in nine colors/prints). 17. A smart button-down maxi if your usual go-to is an oversized men's shirt and lived-in jeans but some days, it's just too humid to even consider reaching for denim. Promising review: "Amazing! Simple, yet beautiful. The pockets are a wee bit high, but I am pretty tall. I have the blue and plan to order a couple more. This dress will be beautiful dry-cleaned. It looks very expensive, but it's less than 30 bucks! This dress is going to have a lot of fun with me!" — Zippy Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 20 colors). 18. A V-neck dress with a faux-wrap design that gives you the look you're after without having to babysit your boobs all day. Promising review: "This dress is great for any and all occasions. I bought it originally for a trip to Italy. It was comfortable and lightweight. I walked 10–11 miles in this dress, and it was so comfy. It is a little sheer, so I wore a slip underneath. Since then, I have worn this for weddings, church, play dates, casual days out, etc. It is perfect for anything and everything and fits true to size." — Maddie Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 41 colors/prints). 19. A sheer top that simply screams HELLO, FESTIVAL SEASON and comes in a whole bunch of different prints so you can pick up several. Promising review: "I had been wanting a sheer, trendy top for a while. I finally couldn't find one I loved in my expensive, usual stores. I went on Amazon on a whim and gave this a try. I got the snakeskin. And it looks so chic with just a black bra underneath. It fits perfectly. Not too tight. And it looks amazing with so many different colors and textures for pants and skirts. Highly recommend! This is in my top two favorite pieces of clothing I have ever bought on Amazon!" — Cassandra Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 32 styles, some of which are long sleeves and not sheer). 20. A long sleeve mesh mini ready to tackle those spring days that start off in the low 50s and end up in the high 70s. 🙃 Beginning Boutique Beginning Boutique is a woman–founded Aussie brand based in Brisbane. In an effort to be more sustainable and ethical, they ship in compostable packaging and partner with programs like Thread Together to recycle and upcycle old stock. Promising review: "Fits PERFECTLY. I think this mini dress is beautiful and I absolutely love the color." — Heather Get it from Beginning Boutique for $89.99 (available in sizes 0–18 and in six colors). 21. A graphic butterfly tee that really doesn't require any explanation at all. Butterflies are pretty — end of story! Amazon Promising review: "So cute and comfortable!! It isn't very oversized, though, so if you want the oversized look, I'd recommend going up a size ❤️" — Maddie Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 10 colors). 22. A pair of 100% European linen pants you *will* reach for day in and day out — and I say this from experience. (If you're my friend and you've seen me wear these two days in a row... no you didn't.) Quince I have these pants in driftwood, black, and martini olive because I just can't get enough. They're extremely comfy, wash beautifully, and deliver a low-fuss look that's still super pulled together. I find they run large, so size down if you're between sizes! Promising review: "I loved these linen pants so much I ordered them in two colors. My go-to summer pants; they're great high-quality linen and so comfortable. Easy to dress down at the beach or wear with a tailored top or sweater out to dinner. Already thinking of how I'll style them for fall! A must-buy. Runs slightly large so size down!" — Ashley C. Get them from Quince for $39.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 12 colors). 23. A silky satin midi skirt with a silhouette that says "chic" and an elastic waistband that says "I'll give your most comfortable sweats a run for their money." Promising review: "Wow, I honestly had low expectations, but I love this skirt! It became a staple in my closet, and I'm not one to wear colors or many prints. So silky and smooth, so comfy. Got so many compliments. The band doesn't dig in and doesn't look awkward. I can't wait to get it in different colors." — Daria Z. Get it from Amazon for $28.38+ (available in sizes XXS—3X and in 22 colors/ patterns). 24. A classic crewneck sweater that's just the lightweight layer everyone needs when the weather can't make up its mind. And best of all, when people ask about it, you get to say "it's cashmere!!!" but also "and it only cost $50!!!" Quince Promising review: "Can't believe the price for such soft high quality cashmere. Will buy many more!" — Deborah G. Get it from Quince for $50 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 17 colors). 25. A formfitting FP Movement onesie you can wear while completing your YouTube HIIT workout and then pair with sandals when you're ready to run errands or hit your outdoor brunch spot. Free People Promising review: "I have never worn a onesie before, but I love this. I wear it several times a week. I usually do a loose tank over the top or an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt because it is still slightly cool here in North Florida. It fits true to size. I have to wear a sports bra underneath, but I always have to wear a bra. The top fits similar to a one-piece swimsuit." — HilaryRing Get it from Free People for $98 (available in sizes XS/S–XL and in seven colors). 26. A pair of high-waisted paperbag pants with bow detailing at the waist and ankles and functional pockets. Good news is if you really fall in love with them, they're available in 20+ (!) colors. Promising review: "Must-have for your office wardrobe! Easy to dress up with pumps and a blouse or dress down with flats, a basic tee, and denim jacket… there's endless combinations for these. Definitely a staple piece. Will be buying other colors! Also — for my tall girls, I'm 6ft and struggle with cropped slacks. These actually hit where they're supposed to." — Jess G. Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 25 styles). 27. A corduroy button-down that'll help you nail that "oh, this? I just threw it on" look that all of your favorite stars have down. (I'm looking at you, Dakota Johnson.) Amazon Check out a TikTok of the corduroy shacket in action. Promising review:"I love this shirt! It's slightly longer than I expected but makes a great oversized button-up — the material is amazing. I get compliments every time I wear it out. If you want an oversized look, I would order your normal size; if you want a normal look, I would order a size down." — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 37 styles). 28. A sweet ruffled blouse with a tie-back design that is a serious ~moment~. Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 44 colors). 29. And a pair of top-rated Everlane utility pants featuring accent stitching, patch pockets, and a cool cropped silhouette that reads like you put serious effort into your look even if all you did was slip on a white tee, slide on some platform Vans, and call it a day. Everlane Promising reviews: "SO COMFY. Love, love, love these pants. They are extremely comfortable and are easily dressed up or dressed as casual as you want them" — kattt "I love these pants. I've got a bit of a booty, and I've found that this style of pant works well for us bigger-bottomed gals. I'm also so pleased at how perfectly they fit. Usually, pants that fit in the rear, they're too big in the waist. However, these are the Goldilocks of pants. I'm ordering more immediately." — Emily Lucille Get them from Everlane for $98+ (available in sizes 000–16, tall sizes, and 10 colors/4 denim washes).

"I Love My Friends, But I'm Literally Getting Too Old For This": People Are Revealing The Common, Everyday Things They Will No Longer Do Now That They're Older
Getting older means our tastes in certain things will change, which is totally okay, by the way. So when Reddit user BeefsteakChuckies asked: "What shit are you too old for?" people did not hold back. Here's what they said below. 1."Clothes that are uncomfortable. I dress for comfort now." "This!!!! Over the last few years, my style has gone from cute to comfortable. This is most noticeable when I travel. I used to be that girl with the bomb outfit going through the airport or at the work event. Now, I'm all loose pants and Chucks. I will wear some Converse anywhere that I can get away with it. I am not standing in heels for hours, and I'm done wearing things that cinch or pinch." — walkerinthewild 2. — fauxmerican1280 "You know you've crossed the Rubicon when you start asking yourself, 'Who the hell are these people?' when you read a movie or music headline." — Ksumatt 3."Adults that have the emotional regulation skills of a toddler." — StrengthPublic6768 "We fucked up this woman's order for takeout. It was a whole mess. Our system went down, we wrote it by hand wrong... issues upon issues. We were totally in the wrong. It was a learning moment for us at a restaurant that prides itself on perfection. She said, 'Thank you for completing my order, please do better next time.' I was expecting a total Karen moment. The absolute patience and understanding of this woman. The next time she comes in, the meal is on the house. I fucking love her for what was 1,000% our fault. We literally had a sit down with the staff for: 'This woman could have left a review that could have been really bad — and she should have.' We fucked up, but bless her mental and social intelligence." — Pitiful_Winner2669 4."Passive-aggressive people. Mean people. No time for that nonsense." — juniper_berry_crunch "Yeah, it's honestly wild how many people are like this. I've been told numerous times about how kind I am, but I feel like I'm just doing what anyone else would do (i.e. helping them pick up something if they dropped it near me, complimenting them, asking about their hobbies and such, etc.). I think that's what any regular person would do." — Hello-Avrammm 5."Crowds." — CalendarFreshStart "Seriously. People are just so… people-y." — dirtygutshot "Especially at concerts. I've decided that if I ever end up at one again, I will be a balcony person. I'm done with standing for three hours in a sea of people who all think they're in their own personal bar." — GrizDrummer25 6."Drama." — DC4L1964 "Sighs in American." — Aeshaetter "Sighs in Canadian." — divadani00 "Feels guilty in American." — usernames_are_hard__ 7."Staying up past 10 p.m." — LSDthrowaway34520 "This one hits. Night owl my whole life. Going to bed early and having energy throughout the day is so important nowadays. When I was younger, I could stay up late and just go the next day with no issues. Now, if I don't get at least seven hours, I'm just a slug." — Petyrgozinya 8."Staying longer than I want." — Brooklynbrown71 "I've learned to embrace the Irish Goodbye over the years, which was admittedly much more difficult than it needed to be as I'm from Minnesota. But god damn, is it freeing to be able to just get up and leave the event. I don't know if you know this, but those Minnesota goodbyes last longer than a church service." — GutterTrashGremlin 9."Night clubs." — GhoulishCasserole "Once in a while is fun. I'm hitting 33 this year, and I absolutely love it. I gotta get my wiggles out." — dustynude 10."Pretending like I'm not at work to just collect a paycheck. I don't want to be subject to your ego; I just want to do work and go home." — kellyguacamole "I can't even say how true and real this is. I don't get why the answer, 'I want to work here so I get a paycheck,' is somehow a bad answer. It shows complete honesty, which is what a lot of employers want." — Poultry_Master123 11."Drinking alcohol. Having two drinks puts me in a hangover for a couple of days!" — serendipitycmt1 "I was too old for that shit pretty shortly after I stopped being too young for that shit." — NickElso579 12."Saying yes when I mean no." — Gazeladygg "And being 'volun-told' for something you would never do." — squirrellytoday 13."Sleeping on pull-out couches." — KuriousJeorge90 14."Generational lingo. I have to Google things constantly because I always forget what the phrases/words mean, presumably because they're so dumb my brain refuses to store them. Skibidi that." — 15."Bending my knees." — DiamondWolf_166 "No doubt. I sleep wrong, try to do this the following day, and I'll creak like a Haunted Mansion door." — Consistent-Ad-8746 16."Pretending I'm having a good time when I'm not. If I am not, I will go home, where I have good times and good sleeps." — Mimi-bo-beanie "I'm at a house party right now, and I'm literally about to do just that. I love my friends, but I'm literally getting too old for this shit." — Dimachaeruz 17."Concerts. In my 20's and 30's, I would go see shows regularly, but now… too loud, too crowded, too smelly, too expensive, and TOO LATE." — Remarkable_Barber158 "Yes! Why can't we have matinee concerts, like at 2 p.m., so we can still hit happy hour afterward and get decent sleep!?" — Practical_Maximum_29 18."High heels." "Dressy shoes in general. I've been buying 'fashion sneakers' to wear with my work clothes." — MrsEmilyN 19."This shit." — Saltedpirate "Gestures broadly." — Panic_Azimuth

I used to be that girl with the bomb outfit going through the airport or at the work event. Now, I'm all loose pants and Chucks. I will wear some Converse anywhere that I can get away with it. I am not standing in heels for hours, and I'm done wearing things that cinch or pinch." — walkerinthewild 2. "Knowing who is famous." — fauxmerican1280 "You know you've crossed the Rubicon when you start asking yourself, 'Who the hell are these people?' when you read a movie or music headline." — Ksumatt 3. "Adults that have the emotional regulation skills of a toddler." — StrengthPublic6768 "We fucked up this woman's order for takeout. It was a whole mess. Our system went down, we wrote it by hand wrong... issues upon issues. We were totally in the wrong. It was a learning moment for us at a restaurant that prides itself on perfection. She said, 'Thank you for completing my order, please do better next time.' I was expecting a total Karen moment. The absolute patience and understanding of this woman. The next time she comes in, the meal is on the house. I fucking love her for what was 1,000% our fault. We literally had a sit down with the staff for: 'This woman could have left a review that could have been really bad — and she should have.' We fucked up, but bless her mental and social intelligence." — Pitiful_Winner2669 4. "Passive-aggressive people. Mean people. No time for that nonsense." — juniper_berry_crunch "Yeah, it's honestly wild how many people are like this. I've been told numerous times about how kind I am, but I feel like I'm just doing what anyone else would do (i.e. helping them pick up something if they dropped it near me, complimenting them, asking about their hobbies and such, etc.). I think that's what any regular person would do." — Hello-Avrammm 5. "Crowds." — CalendarFreshStart "Seriously. People are just so… people-y." — dirtygutshot "Especially at concerts. I've decided that if I ever end up at one again, I will be a balcony person. I'm done with standing for three hours in a sea of people who all think they're in their own personal bar." — GrizDrummer25 6. "Drama." — DC4L1964 "Sighs in American." — Aeshaetter "Sighs in Canadian." — divadani00 "Feels guilty in American." — usernames_are_hard__ 7. "Staying up past 10 p.m." Maskot / Getty Images — LSDthrowaway34520 "This one hits. Night owl my whole life. Going to bed early and having energy throughout the day is so important nowadays. When I was younger, I could stay up late and just go the next day with no issues. Now, if I don't get at least seven hours, I'm just a slug." — Petyrgozinya 8. "Staying longer than I want." — Brooklynbrown71 "I've learned to embrace the Irish Goodbye over the years, which was admittedly much more difficult than it needed to be as I'm from Minnesota. But god damn, is it freeing to be able to just get up and leave the event. I don't know if you know this, but those Minnesota goodbyes last longer than a church service." — GutterTrashGremlin 9. "Night clubs." — GhoulishCasserole "Once in a while is fun. I'm hitting 33 this year, and I absolutely love it. I gotta get my wiggles out." — dustynude 10. "Pretending like I'm not at work to just collect a paycheck. I don't want to be subject to your ego; I just want to do work and go home." — kellyguacamole "I can't even say how true and real this is. I don't get why the answer, 'I want to work here so I get a paycheck,' is somehow a bad answer. It shows complete honesty, which is what a lot of employers want." — Poultry_Master123 11. "Drinking alcohol. Having two drinks puts me in a hangover for a couple of days!" Klaus Vedfelt / Getty Images — serendipitycmt1 "I was too old for that shit pretty shortly after I stopped being too young for that shit." — NickElso579 12. "Saying yes when I mean no." — Gazeladygg "And being 'volun-told' for something you would never do." — squirrellytoday 13. "Sleeping on pull-out couches." 15. "Bending my knees." Kali9 / Getty Images 16. "Pretending I'm having a good time when I'm not. If I am not, I will go home, where I have good times and good sleeps." — Mimi-bo-beanie "I'm at a house party right now, and I'm literally about to do just that. I love my friends, but I'm literally getting too old for this shit." — Dimachaeruz 17. "Concerts. In my 20's and 30's, I would go see shows regularly, but now… too loud, too crowded, too smelly, too expensive, and TOO LATE." 18. "High heels." — No-Understanding4968 "Dressy shoes in general. I've been buying 'fashion sneakers' to wear with my work clothes." — MrsEmilyN 19. "This shit."
