It’s not hard to tell if you aren’t winning at the game of life. In fact, sometimes all it takes is a quick glance around your apartment to know for sure. If no one ever comes over, if you relate on a deep personal level to George Thorogood’s “Get A Haircut” and anything on this list sounds familiar… there’s a really good chance that you suck at life.
- The only artwork you have is either a Tron poster or a street sign that has either a swear word or your last name on it.
- All your furniture is made out of pizza boxes and bottle caps.
- You consider the yellow tint form smoking too much “a paint job”.
- You have the oldest running craigslist ad looking for a roommate. In history.
- Your “shag” carpeting is actually an over abundance of shed pet hair.
- You can’t tell the difference between your rat terrier and…the rats.
- The most edible thing in your fridge is the box of Arm and Hammer.
- You use cigarettes to cover up “the smell”.
- You are using gum anywhere as an adhesive.
- You’ve started a shot glass collection “to class up the place”
- The crust on the windows makes blinds unnecessary.
- You have every High School Musical poster and you’re in your thirties.
- You haven’t had a working stove in 9 months.
- You own one fork, one spoon and one knife because it “helps you stay on top of the dishes”.
- Your possession with the most cash vale is your beer bottle collection.
- Your refrigerator has stopper working and you’re not sure if it got emptied or not… so you just haven’t checked.
- You are the only one in the building being evicted by the health department.
- Your cat has developed a wheeze because of the dust and mold.
- Everything in your apartment was found on the side of the road.
- Your security system is comprised of a sticky substance near the door.
- You consider pervasive black mold “a minor nuisance”.
- You’re not 80, but your TV is still black and white.
- The furniture is covered by plastic, not to protect it, but to protect you.
- There are coins stuck to various surfaces by any substance other than glue.
- You’ve decided that dust is “part of the décor”.
- You buy paper plates in order to avoid washing the dishes in the sink.
- The vacuum cleaner serves as a coat tree, and nothing else.
- You shower in the dark, so you don’t get scared.
- The last time your kitchen floor was mopped was when the piped under the sink burst.
- There are traffic cones any where in your living room

31. You’re 31 & your landlord is your mom and you pay rent in chores.

Gulp, sounds like my apartment.

This is so funny! Apparently I don’t suck at life, although I’m pushing it with the dog hair shag.
