Quotes For People Who'd Like 2020 To Chill The Heck Down

We are more than halfway through the year 2020 and I think that if I hear the word "unprecedented" one more time, I may just break something.

Personally, I'm okay with skipping the candles or saying goodbye to the sweaty-palmed handshakes that supposedly tell you so much about a person.

Handshakes are a dumb way to judge people anyway. My shake isn't weak because I'm somehow going to be bad at the job I'm interviewing for. It's weak because I have chronic hand pain and crappy circulation.

I'm really going to miss communal eating experiences, though.

Not buffets. Those always grossed me out a bit, but potlucks and Korean barbecue and everyone trying a bite of everyone else's meal at a new restaurant.

I'm just sick of the 2020 section of future history books expanding to fill a whole volume of its own.

And there are still four months left!

Considering how much has happened in the first seven, what horrors are still to come?!
