"Adulting is Just Pretending You Know What You’re Doing"
(Casual, conversational tone—like you’re just venting to friends at a bar.)
1. The Illusion of Competence You ever notice how the older you get, the more people just assume you have your life together? Like, strangers see me walking down the street with a coffee and a tote bag, and they’re like, "Wow, she’s got it figured out." No, Karen, I’m just caffeine-dependent and this bag is full of unopened mail and a single granola bar I’ve been carrying around since 2019.
I went to IKEA last week—the adult Disneyland—and I saw a couple arguing over a bookshelf like it was a life-or-death decision. Sir, you’re holding a DVALA. It’s $20 and made of compressed sadness. If your relationship can’t survive assembling that, you don’t need a bookshelf, you need a therapist.
2. Grocery Shopping: The Ultimate Bluff Grocery stores are where I perform my best impression of a functional human. I walk in with a list, I grab a cart, I strategically pick up a bunch of kale like, "Yes, I am a woman who eats vegetables." Then I get to the checkout, and the cashier’s like, "Find everything okay?" And I’m like, "Oh yeah, totally," while secretly praying they don’t notice that half my cart is just different kinds of cheese and a single sad banana I’ll forget about until it’s a science experiment.
And don’t even get me started on self-checkout. That machine judges me. "Unexpected item in bagging area." Oh, sorry, Skynet, I didn’t realize I needed to scan my dignity too.
3. Dating in Your 30s: A Hostage Negotiation Dating after 30 is just two people with emotional baggage sitting across from each other, silently calculating how much therapy the other one will need. First dates now are just, "So, how many red flags do you have, and are any of them fun red flags?"
I went on a date last month, and the guy spent 20 minutes explaining his very specific system for folding fitted sheets. I was like, "Wow, you must be great at parties." He said, "I don’t go to parties." Of course you don’t.
And then there’s the "What are you looking for?" question. Like, I don’t know, Carol, a man who can assemble IKEA furniture without crying? Is that too much to ask?
4. The Lie of "Work-Life Balance" People are always like, "You gotta find that work-life balance!" Balance? I can’t even balance my checkbook. I use the "if the number’s green, I’m good" system.
My boss told me to "prioritize self-care," so I took a mental health day. You know what I did? Ate a whole pizza while watching The Office for the 12th time. Turns out, self-care is just doing whatever you want and calling it "wellness."
5. The Final Realization The truth is, nobody knows what they’re doing. We’re all just winging it, hoping we don’t get caught. My whole life is just me Googling things and pretending I knew the answer all along.
"How to unclog a drain?" "What’s the difference between baking soda and baking powder?" "Why do I still not own a cheese grater?"
And that’s okay. Because if you act like you know what you’re doing, people will believe you. That’s the real secret to adulthood. Fake it till you make it—or at least till you can afford therapy.
(Pause, sip water, shrug.)
Thanks, you guys are great. I’ll be in the parking lot crying if anyone needs me.
Why It Works:
- Relatable struggles (adulting, dating, grocery stores) make it universally funny.
- Self-deprecating but not mean—the humor comes from shared incompetence, not punching down.
- Conversational rhythm—feels like a rant with punchlines, not a joke-a-minute routine.
- No puns! Just observational humor and exaggerated truths.

Alright, good evening everybody! How are we all doing tonight? Yeah? Yeah? nobody's gonna say 'bad'? Ok, fair enough.
You know, I was walking down the street the other day, and I saw this sign outside a shop that said, "Wet Paint." I thought, "Well, that's weird. Isn't paint supposed to be wet? When's the last time you saw a bucket of dry paint? That's like saying 'Wet Water' or 'Hot Coffee' – oh, wait, they do say that last one. Never mind.
And what's the deal with self-checkout machines? They always tell you, "Unexpected item in bagging area." Really? It's a bag of chips, not a flamingo doing the tango! And why is it always an "unexpected" item? You know what would be an unexpected item? If I scanned a live bear through there. "Oh, hey, just picking up a loaf of bread, some milk, and THIS GUY!"
You ever notice how people get real testy about their favorite coffee places? "Oh, you go to Starbucks? You monster! You know they burn their beans, right?" Yeah, well, you drink tea, so you're basically a serial killer. And why is decaf even a thing? People who drink decaf are like vegetarians at a steakhouse – sure, you can have a seat, but why are you even here?
And speaking of coffee shops, what's with the sizes? Small, medium, large – that's simple, right? But no, we've got "tall," "grande," "venti"... I stand in line, and I'm like, "Uh, yeah, can I get a... medium-ish? Just whatever comes between 'not enough' and 'that's too much, are you crazy?'"
You know who I feel bad for? Meteorologists. They're the only people who can be wrong 90% of the time and still keep their jobs. "There's a 50% chance of rain tomorrow." Yeah, and there's a 50% chance I'm gonna wear pants tomorrow, but you don't see me on the news talking about it!
Alright, that's my time. You've been a great audience! Remember to tip your waitresses, try the veal, and... nah, I can't even say that with a straight face. Goodnight, everybody!

Here’s a simple, delicious, and creative savory dish using just 7 common pantry ingredients—no fresh produce required!
"Golden Crispy Chickpea & Tomato Skillet"
A warm, spiced, and satisfying one-pan dish with crispy chickpeas, tangy tomatoes, and a hint of smoky sweetness. Perfect as a side, snack, or light meal!
Ingredients (7 total):
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (drained, rinsed, and patted very dry)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (or crushed tomatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or any neutral oil)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp honey (or brown sugar/maple syrup)
(Optional garnish: dried parsley or red pepper flakes if you have them!)
Instructions:
-
Crisp the chickpeas:
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the dried chickpeas and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. (They’ll soften slightly but should have a crunch!)
- Sprinkle with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp garlic powder, then transfer to a bowl and set aside.
-
Simmer the tomatoes:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and the diced tomatoes (with juices).
- Stir in smoked paprika, remaining ½ tsp garlic powder, and honey.
- Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
-
Combine & serve:
- Return the crispy chickpeas to the skillet and toss to coat in the tomato sauce.
- Cook for 1–2 more minutes to let flavors meld.
- Taste and adjust salt if needed.
-
Serve warm!
- Eat as-is, or pair with crackers, bread, or rice if you have them.
Time Breakdown:
- Prep time: 5 minutes (draining chickpeas + measuring spices)
- Cook time: 15 minutes
- Total time: 20 minutes
Why It Works:
- Crispy chickpeas add texture and protein.
- Smoked paprika + honey balance smoky, sweet, and tangy flavors.
- Canned tomatoes bring moisture and depth without fresh ingredients.
- One-pan = easy cleanup!
Variations (if you have extras):
- Add a pinch of cumin or chili flakes for heat.
- Stir in a spoonful of peanut butter for creaminess (trust me!).
- Top with grated Parmesan or feta if available.
