Try as we might to stay in control, life doesn’t always let us work that way. Surprises are part of what makes existing so great or awful, depending on who you’re speaking to — and the unexpected circumstances that they may have been served in their time. For some people, memes are a way of trying to establish some control over this, by taking the reins of the chaos. We might have to experience these unpleasant accidents, but at least we can kind of laugh about them. There is a meme out there for all kinds of unpleasant situations, and even some for many of the good times, too. A list like this usually mixes it up when it comes to the topics that it deals with, so the chances of things getting boring are a lot lower. We might not know what we’re going to be served next, but it is all part of the random fun.
