Hi, are you also having an existential crisis and wondering what the hell is the point of anything when everything is so dire?

Did you, too, watch SNL50 and feel annoyed that we’re still praising Chevy Chase for his ONE YEAR on a show where he continued to wreak havoc on people’s psyche for decades?

Do you want to join me in buying room darkening curtains and hibernating until the end of time?

Well… before we give up, let’s just remember, it could always be worse!

In fact, here are 10 ways it could be worse!

We could be:

Driving behind someone in an SUV who decides to back into the first open space they see so YOU have to back up for THEM to park BACKWARDS but they can’t tell if their car is going to fit so they have to keep pulling out and in while you just sit there staring at all the open parking spots just a little bit further down the aisle.
Going downstairs to answer the door late in the evening for your father who tells you, a teenager, to tell whoever it is that he has shingles (he doesn’t) when they ask for him or where their money is.
Blake Lively on the SNL50 red carpet pretending everything is fine and dandy then having the spotlight on her again when her husband does a bit about their legal troubles with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler (the women once maligned by Taylor Swift for not being pro-women.)
Accepting crumbs of communication (not responding to texts, BUT is going through your Instagram and liking all of your selfies from the last few years) as very good news and clear signs of LOVE AND RESPECT!!!
The person responsible for calling the heating company when the heat doesn’t work on the coldest day of the year so far AND the HVAC technician who shows up can’t fix the heat (because there’s NO FUEL) but they can tell you their theories on how the pandemic was planned in the 70s and Massachusetts governor, Maura Healey, wants everyone to change their gender to “cat”.
Tom Sandoval.
The middle car in a three car pileup that has no damage to their car but is also somehow the angriest while the other two basically fall in love while exchanging insurance information.
Doing karaoke at Sissy K’s in Faneuil Hall when a man you do not know walks on the stage and puts his entire hand up your dress and everybody laughs.
The person who has to fire a large, scary man because he wore a REAL sword to work on Halloween and sent people videos of people being beheaded!!!
The person who has TO HIDE WHEN A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CALLS AND SAYS HE IS ON THE HIGHWAY, MAKING HIS WAY TOWARDS THE OFFICE, WITH TWO DUFFEL BAGS.
