What makes you secretly go, “yeah, good luck with that“?

1. People who tell me they're going to get their diploma from a known diploma mill and then immediately go on to work in an extremely competitive field against people with educations from accredited institutions. Yeah. Good luck with that.

2. When people tell me how much their lives are about to improve after starting in a Multi Level Marketing company. "Finally, I am going to be my own boss." "All I have to do is sign people up until I get to diamond nipple status, then I can just relax and wait for my checks." "No, its not a scam, I am in charge of my own destiny." "I only need to pay $250 because I have not signed up anyone below me yet." "$250 is a drop in the bucket compared to what I will eventually make, heck if I get to the Plutonium Scrotum level I even get a new BMW."

3. I was watching a video about learning how to program. Some guy giving a talk. The Q and A portion of the talk opens up. Someone raises their hand and says 'How can I make Google?' Upon elaborating they were going to settle for the number 2 spot behind Google as the world's second best search engine.

4. A girl I knew announced on social media that her husband was cheating then proclaimed two weeks later to have found the love of her life. Right.

5. A guy who worked for a big Heat & Air company came to service my air conditioner one summer. He got talkative and mentioned he wanted to start his own company. The plan was to call it "AC Medic" and their trucks would be old ambulances. "That sounds cool, man, good luck." Less than a year later, I see a red ambulance with AC MEDIC on the side. I was stunned. And in the time since, the company seems to keep growing and expanding. I keep seeing the ambulances from time to time, and every time I think, "I can't believe he actually did it, way to go!"

6. I’m a theater student, and whenever I hear someone who’s graduating from theater they’re always talking about how they’re gonna end up on broadway. No you’re not. Except me of course, I have to!

7. Kids saying they're going to drop out of high school because so-and-so made it big and they were a high school drop out. Yeah, that person is the rare exception.

9. I'm from Canada but travelled abroad for a while. When people find out I'm from Canada they almost always say "Oh I'm planning on moving to Vancouver for a bit!" Vancouver? On a backpackers budget? Ya ok. Good luck with that.

10. People who post how they're going to have a drama free year, and goodbye to all the haters. It always ends with the same dramatic shit by the end of January (at best)

11. When my mom tells me about her latest health bunk. Oh, water from a copper or brass pitcher is more stabilized than water from glass or plastic! It's better for your body's energies. Yeah mom. Sure thing. Please just brew tea.

12. Whenever someone tells me about their new “legitimate business that I know sounds like a pyramid scheme but totally isn’t” Yeah, have fun with your energy drinks.

13. My friend is approaching the age where pregnancy comes with potential complications. She is determined to get babied up before that happens. She also barely has a dollar to her name so landing a supportive babydaddy is also pretty well implied. My friend only dates younger up-and-coming musicians, and the occasional high-level drug dealer. Not saying its impossible but yeah, good luck with that.

14. Driving in Florida when it's raining. Can't wait to be stuck in a traffic jam because some idiot thought he could take a sharp corner in his minivan at 90mph on wet roads.
