Being an adult is simply tiring. As adults, we constantly have to make choices in our heads. From dirty dishes to grocery lists, we have to think about countless little and not-so-little things every day. Something along the lines of “Shall I finally do the laundry or get some groceries so that I have something to eat tonight?” This poll features the Would You Rather game we all know and love but with grown-up problems. Don’t worry; this is a safe space to vent your frustrations about being an adult and get them out of your system. Let’s see your preferences and priorities when it comes to adulting!

I bought a house that had an old fridge with things in it from over 10 years before. I taped it up and had it hauled off.

    Stupid question. It's basically asking if you prefer to attract pests in your house or not.

    I don't own an iron and i am perfectly content. I hang dry my clothes properly so they don't wrinkle and that's it.

    Silly question - there are some things you just shouldn't DIY. Electrical work for example. You DIY rewiring your house and it catches fire or someone dies you are a) not going to get an insurance payout and b) possibly be in serious legal trouble. I've replaced floorboards and replastered walls but I wouldn't touch plumbing or wiring.
