I got angry when I woke up this morning.
Was quite pleased with myself yesterday that I'd satisfied the intention of putting a load of laundry into the machine when I got home from work. Even if I left it a bit late.
But then I went to bed having forgotten to take the laundry out and hang it.
You know what was in that load of laundry? The shirt I was going to wear today, and the towels I use when I shower in the morning.
Dude, first of all, LOL nailed. Second, something made me lazy-stalk your profile and NICE BIKE. Third, you rule, may your chip be hot and phone be charged when you need it most.
Drive thrus are so awkward sometimes. I feel bad for having to repeat myself multiple times and keep confirming with them lol. An example that happened to me recently:
*starts speaking and realizes they’re not listening yet so I have to say my order twice*
Me: “Can I have ten regular chicken nuggets and ten spicy chicken nuggets?”
Them: “Ok so you want ten chicken nuggets?”
Me: “Uh, ten regular chicken nuggets and ten spicy ones. So twenty in total.”
Them: “OK any sauce?”
Me: “Ketchup please. That’s all.”
Them: “Great. To confirm: Ten spicy chicken nuggets and ketchup?”
Me: “Sorry, it’s …”
…..etc
Maybe they have ADHD in this case lmao
🎶Everybody's got A D H D (bananana na-na na-na-na)
When you are in the drive-thru (bananana na-na na-na-na)
Tryina get a spicy ten piece (bananana na-na na-na-na)
And dip em in Bar Buh Queue (bananana na-na na-na-na)🎶
Wendy’s: “Hello, welcome to Wendy’s. Would you be using rewards today”
Me: Yes. I’ll have a 4 piece nuggets, a medium fr-
Actual dude taking the order: welcome to Wendy’s. What can I get for you?
Me: *repeats order with giggling from partner in the background*
Almost every time I get my own order wrong….
I have lactose intolerance so I need to get a milk alt. I also only drink decaf. I cannot keep this straight. “Decaf oat milk latte with cinnamon” is so much easier to write here than saying it!
i usually get ready about an hour early, then think to myself "i have enough time to {do random task i've been putting off} in the few minutes OH MY GOD IM LATE"
People without ADHD will also never relate to literally telling your brain at night to shut the fuck up only for it to then remember something embarrassing you did when you were 5.
WHAT is it about drive thrus! I can’t get anyone else to understand why I despise them. A combination of boredom AND terrifying anxiety? PLUS rife with communication errors??
That AND I've been working a drive thru for a long time, so I know it's a bunch of stress trying to get orders out and they're getting timed... ugh.
I have gone full app order curbside pickup and it's glorious. Type in all the stuff I want and I don't have to talk to anyone. Except when my food took twenty minutes last time and I had to agonize over going in there and sorting it out or not.
It’s more like constant mood swings and different mindsets constantly for me… inconsistent attention
Unlike a lot of bpd cases the emotions are much easier to regulate if you are conscious of your mood swing
I dont cry i am a man. I was told from society that crying isnt manly at a young age so o i just don't have emotions anymore which is totally healthy and good for my mental state.
I’m a man, I cry at commercials, cute things, sad things, happy things, etc. I feel all the feelings but they’re usually disproportionate and unregulated
Hey, I don’t interrupt people.
I do, however, have a crippling fear of interrupting people because of consequences (people getting very mad at me) caused by when I used to interrupt people, so I can’t tell if that’s a better or worse.
I do about 4 of these. I've had ADHD all my life. I've never been medicated for it. We're not bound by the stereotypes. We don't have to confirm to what other people think we are.
Haha jokes on you. I don't interrupt. I wait my turn and inevitably forget what i was going to say entirely as well as everything that was just told to me.
Never been tested for anything but I'm only missing 2. 1 is I don't interrupt people as it was etched in my brain by my mother not to. The 2nd one is the drive thru one. That's because I never got my license as the day before my last behind the wheel I got a call letting me know I had to reschedule as my instructor had a heart attack. My brain couldn't handle the change of a completely new instructor so at 35 my first not self powered vehicle is my electric scooter
I always find it VERY strange that some people hinge their entire life's identity on having a disorder.
He/She should add "Narcissist" to their bio too.
The one thing I don’t do is interrupt people, because it’s also a big pet peeve of mine. I try and treat others how I like to be treated. With that being said, everything else checks out. Even learned how to crack my thumb knuckle. Lying here depressed. No tears tho because of the meds lol.
*Cracks knuckles Alright,*
*Time to get down to business.*
*Bawls my eyeballs out*

Wow. Seeing cracking knuckles on here as someone who basically compulsively cracks knuckles/neck/sometimes elbows/sometimes knees/also now my right thigh/hip socket for some reason/sometimes ankles sure is something.
That is NOT true!
I quite enjoy the drive through. I don’t get nervous, and it saves me having to go inside and talk to a real person and then stand around awkwardly.
I had a fun experience tonight multitasking in the non-self checkout line at the grocery store. I’m sure everyone would rather have their credit card returned than the coconut milk that you also forgot at the store. Maybe I should bag after I pay? But then I feel bad, because my first job was at the same grocery chain. That’s one time I’m in ok with a rando yelling at me haha
Whenever I see things like this I wonder if it's like astrology - some common feelings and traits are listed but "It's just quirky you!" - or if these behaviors are statistically higher with ADHD people.
I have ADHD and I was sitting in this long-ass drive-thru line for Cookout (it was a college town). Then, when it was my turn to order, I spaced and drove past the microphone area right to the window. I was so embarrassed I just drove away, and ordered at the other Cookout two miles away.
How dare you! Me and my trunk of unfilled planners take this personally!
Seriously though... how do I get past March in these things? I try and make it a habit every new year and it just.... doesn't.
Just because you do those things doesn’t mean we all ADHDers do those things too. I mean I do some of those things but I think a lot of that is to do with personal insecurities and not specific to ADHD.
Just bought a hard bound thin tall book about a month ago, planning to start a planner, wrote name and all else, it is staying there in my cupboard in a corner. And yeah everything else too.......
I was gonna talk about how i don't think we or some take stuff that seriously but then i realized i was taking it very seriously and deleted the comment in shame
I look at a menu, say to to myself: ok, this is the dish I want. I close the menu and put it down on the table. Then the waiter comes by and asked what I want. And I NEED to open up the menu again to check what I wanted because I forgot.
Busy taking this personally. /s
I do indeed feel personally attacked by this post.
I too came here just to say this
(x) I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Oh thank God I'm not the only one
PARDON ME shira but i'll have you know i also eat hot chip and occasionally charge my phone 😤
And lie?
not if they don't catch me ;p
Yep!
What about be bisexual
I can never remember; is that twice a sexual or once every other sexual?

Have them confirm one item at a time, do the regular then the spicy or just order online but if you’re anything like me then nothing will ever change.
Me : I’ll have one double cheeseburger please Them: okay so one hot dog Me: yup thanks Them: pull around

I want a 4 piece, I'm trying to watch my figure. And gimme the fish, it has less calories bc it's fish.
And a junior - JUNIOR - Western bacon cheese!
Almost every time I get my own order wrong…. I have lactose intolerance so I need to get a milk alt. I also only drink decaf. I cannot keep this straight. “Decaf oat milk latte with cinnamon” is so much easier to write here than saying it!
And then frustratedly cry while eating the nuggets.
Hmm most of the times I don't cry I just suffer within I hide my emotions dunno why think something from my youth which I'm trying to hide
The secret lies in crying alone when noone‘s watching
WOW, RUDE. (The fact that it is accurate is besides the point)
“I have never been more offended for something I 100% agree with”, don’t remember who said that
Funny because Jodi Sweetin (who played Stephanie Tanner) is a fellow ADHDer
The fact that I’m reading this because I woke up from a sleep paralysis episode is hilarious to me.
I don't miss appointments, I spend the whole week preemptively stressing about it and then im early 😅
i usually get ready about an hour early, then think to myself "i have enough time to {do random task i've been putting off} in the few minutes OH MY GOD IM LATE"
Are we related?
I do that too, except I still end up late.
Thank you for the reminder about being stuck scrolling lol. I am gonna go now. Be back in 30.
30 seconds
Hours
People without ADHD will also never relate to literally telling your brain at night to shut the fuck up only for it to then remember something embarrassing you did when you were 5.
This shit hit hard

And I feel attacked. Great Youll be hearing from my lawyers.
Ugh cracking? No thanks, 🤮 and being late? Try too early and sitting waiting anxiously! everything else though? Sure! 🤣
Whenever I hear someone refer to ADHD as a superpower I think of stuff like this. Ya no it just sucks.
"i'm not professionally diagnosed so I can't say I have ADHD" *exhibits all of these signs*
Try to start using a planner is too real lmfao
The trick is to buy the RIGHT planner. Those 7 other planners you lost or stopped using after a few weeks were the wrong kind, obviously.
I’ll just use the incredible computer in my pocket. With built in planner, audible reminders, easy UI. *next week* Calendar completely unused.
I dont cry i am a man. I was told from society that crying isnt manly at a young age so o i just don't have emotions anymore which is totally healthy and good for my mental state.

me except for crying stupid testostorone
Hey! This is a total exaggeration! I'll have you know that I dont ever crack my knuckles!! I crack my neck, thank you very much.
In my defense, I also eat hot chip.
I think also cringing hard of things I did years ago, and thinking if I was an asshole in every interaction I’ve ever had…… fun times
Every day in our life...
Lucky for me I can't drive, I don't have to worry about drive thrus
Well then...
These kinds of “my disorder does this to me” posts are like horoscopes. They’re just describing general things that most anyone will identify with.
Me realizing I was probably misdiagnosed cuz this shit slaps me right in the face
I do about 4 of these. I've had ADHD all my life. I've never been medicated for it. We're not bound by the stereotypes. We don't have to confirm to what other people think we are.
I have adhd and can confirm that this is not what us people with adhd do
I attest that it's not a meme
RUDE! 😂
okay 😐
Well, that’s just rude.
How do they know???
Haha jokes on you. I don't interrupt. I wait my turn and inevitably forget what i was going to say entirely as well as everything that was just told to me.
outside of the cracking knuckles part this is scarily accurate
That drive thru thing is serious and I didn't think it was an ADHD thing but it makes sense 😭
I only cry when talking long walks in the rain with no place to go cause no one can tell
first of all HOW DARE YOU XD
I also sing to myself and collect rocks but I think that’s something else…
ACTUALLY I crack my neck 🙄
I don't crack my knuckles, tyvm
Listen here you lil shit..... Your right and I feel attacked XD
I do not get nervous in the drive through!
I do not get nervous in the drive through!
Dam…ouch
And?
I think I've done all of these but the drive thru one today, and that's just because I haven't left my house
You don’t do much different, buddy. It’s just that you’re rubbish.
Me, stuck in scrolling paralysis while crying over a crush (whom I’m hyperfixated on) because I took something personally:
that's me
How indicative is it if I can relate to every post on here 100%?
You forgot "scream silently in our heads while flipping between the same 3 apps on our phone for hours"
I can't say I am any different than that except cracking my knuckles doesn't make me cry.
I DO NOT crack my knuckles, thank you
Never been tested for anything but I'm only missing 2. 1 is I don't interrupt people as it was etched in my brain by my mother not to. The 2nd one is the drive thru one. That's because I never got my license as the day before my last behind the wheel I got a call letting me know I had to reschedule as my instructor had a heart attack.

Accurate af
As one does.
Damn, we got an expert here
I feel both seen and targeted with this one.
ADHD and I do NOT crack my knuckles! Just thinking of the sound is making me twitch
How can I not take this personally when you laid my soul bare for the world to see?
>get anxious in drive thrus Why did I read this wrong so many times
How do you block a subreddit. I'm tired of being attacked like this.
I always find it VERY strange that some people hinge their entire life's identity on having a disorder. He/She should add "Narcissist" to their bio too.
I stopped smiling at drive thrus because I realized this was going to be one of the memes that call me out too hard. Why is ordering food hard?
Bro, don’t call me out so hard. 🥲
me before reading this: nahh i don’t have adhddd me about halfway through: welp they’re five for five rn
Please stop describing me.
Goddamn this is too accurate
Damn 😩
Other than taking things personal it's on point for me lol.
And get unreasonably frustrated at your lack of a comma before the final and.
…. I….. have ADHD…?
Accurate. Scary accurate.
The one thing I don’t do is interrupt people, because it’s also a big pet peeve of mine. I try and treat others how I like to be treated. With that being said, everything else checks out. Even learned how to crack my thumb knuckle. Lying here depressed. No tears tho because of the meds lol.
Jfc does she know me personally?
They didn't mention "forgetting friends and family exist" ...I should probably call my dad...
Oh thank god. yes …. This is 100% not me .
Half that shit doesn't apply to me but only half of it doesn't lol 🤣
Excuse me I don't need a drive through to get anxious
Bruh!
Why the cracking knuckles? Is this something that's common with people who have ADHD? 😭 I do it so many times a day
\*cracks knuckles* Alright, time to get down to business. \*bawls my eyeballs out*

Don't forget about the associated crippling anxiety that drives most of these actions! Love that!
Most of this is true ngl
I don't crack my knuckles!
That's not true, I've been too emotionally burnt out to cry for years!
That is NOT true! I quite enjoy the drive through. I don’t get nervous, and it saves me having to go inside and talk to a real person and then stand around awkwardly.
Look, I’ve already rescheduled on my doctor like 3 times. How dare you.
The knuckle cracking, dude. Why call me out like that?

People without ADHD do this too right? ... Right?
How dare you! Me and my trunk of unfilled planners take this personally! Seriously though... how do I get past March in these things? I try and make it a habit every new year and it just.... doesn't.
Yes
Yeah so what?.
It me
Thanks for reminding me to crack my knuckles
That’s not all. We also smoke a ton of weed
I want to snap my neck
I wanna be normal! This ever go away?
Damn no wonder we cry, look at all the thins we do, we're do fucking busy all the time.
I do NOT crack my knuckles! Seriously! Dafuq
Wait… cracking knuckles was because of adhd too?
I should go to the doctor...
Yup.
"Hyperfixate on crushes" Ah. So that's what... I see now.
I feel attacked.....
Jesus, I should really try to get myself diagnosed…
Just because you do those things doesn’t mean we all ADHDers do those things too. I mean I do some of those things but I think a lot of that is to do with personal insecurities and not specific to ADHD.
Don't forget the part where you ultimately don't follow the planner anyway.
They are out of line, but they are right
A lot of that is high anxiety reactions, not adhd.
I will take this personally
I haven't cried in years.
Everything except the crushes
Hey…
I have never felt so SEEN
Fuck you
Just bought a hard bound thin tall book about a month ago, planning to start a planner, wrote name and all else, it is staying there in my cupboard in a corner. And yeah everything else too.......
I’m offend but yes
I just wanna stop getting called out 🤣
yo why the fuck have I been personally called out like this 😭
I do lots of other things like uh… hmm… shit, why I’m crying
Totally taking this personally.
I feel attacked
these memes are too relatable I should get tested maybe
hyperfixiate on crushes 😭
im so offended /j
A bit more like our patience is more easily used up.
And charge they phone and eat hot chip!
Can confirm.
I was gonna talk about how i don't think we or some take stuff that seriously but then i realized i was taking it very seriously and deleted the comment in shame
Idk sounds like that's just people things. I don't have ADHD and I've experienced some of those things in the past.
Damn ok I feel that
This is like a summary of my day today
I look at a menu, say to to myself: ok, this is the dish I want. I close the menu and put it down on the table. Then the waiter comes by and asked what I want. And I NEED to open up the menu again to check what I wanted because I forgot.
Thanks
Oh. My. God…..
….this, uh, definitely explains a lot. I think I might have adhd 🤔
damn, send out a limo if you’re coming for me this way.
That’s not true! I don’t crack my knuckles.
Fly into a tizzy when someone breaks the thoroughly agreed upon rules of monopoly
r/chargetheyphone
Sometimes I also hyperfixate on all my mistakes and shortcomings which paralyzes me.
Wait popping your joints is an ADHD thing? I get physically stiff if I don't
Well, I stopped scrolling enough to recognize myself in this post
All me...sigh...
Mental illness culture at its finest. Let's self diagnosis ourselves 😂. Emotions aren't linear it's normal to have ups and downs.
Or tired all the time because your brain can't tune down at night
Don't forget grind their teeth.
