Hangry: The irrational state of being that occurs when extreme hunger brings out the inner angry beast.
We’ve all hit that terrible hangry wall before. Everything is suddenly so irritating and nothing matters except when and where you’ll finally get to fill your screaming stomach. Ordinarily, certain phrases would just roll right off your back, but when you’re hangry, nothing is that simple.
After you’ve finally eaten, of course, the things you did, said and thought while in that hangry state seem ridiculous—embarrassing, even—but you know you’ll do it all again next time it’s been too long since you had anything to eat.
Here are 10 of the worst things to hear when you’re hangry:
1. “I’m hungry.”
You think you’re hungry? No. You don’t even know what hungry is. I’m hungry. Your hungry doesn’t even compare to my hungry. Just go away.
2. “Hey, wanna go do [insert some activity here]?”
Uh, is there food involved? If not, why are you even asking?
3. “Can you do me a favor?”
Remember HALF AN HOUR AGO when you said it would only be a few more minutes? IF I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER HALF HOUR THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT I MIGHT DO.
4. “I know we promised free pizza, but we didn’t get enough, and someone just took the last piece.”
Tell me you’re joking. I literally only came here for the pizza.
5. “I just had the most delicious [insert some food, any food here].”
Oh, did you? How cool. Sooooooo cool. Aren’t you the coolest?
6. “Calm down. You’ll be fine. There’s only an hour until lunch.”
An hour? A whole hour? I could die within an hour.
7. “There are starving kids in Africa who go longer without eating than you ever have.”
Yeah? Well, I bet those starving children are used to it. I’M NOT.
8. “Sorry, but the kitchens are really backed up today, so it’s going to be an extra 20 minutes on your order.”
Are you trying to get a bad Yelp review?
9. “We’re actually out of [insert whatever food you’re craving] today. You could try this instead…”
You’re a burger joint. How could you possibly be out of burgers?
10. “Why didn’t you bring a snack?”
I DID bring a snack, but I already ate it. Two hours ago. Seriously, WHERE IS THE FOOD?
