Living alone gets a bad rap: There’s nothing more freeing than being able to waltz around your home, wearing whatever you want, eating whatever you want and blasting whatever you want on your playlist.
Of course, there’s some drawbacks, too: We wouldn’t wish getting the flu while living alone on anyone. (Thanks, food delivery apps, for making that part a little more bearable!)
Below, we’ve rounded up 29 funny tweets that capture all the highs and lows (“Can someone get me a roll of toilet paper? Oh, right...”) of living by yourself.
Any movie where a woman living alone nibbles a snack as opposed to shoveling it into her mouth by the fistful is fake and wrong.

Dracula had it right, sleep all day, live alone in a castle & explode into a thousand bats to get out of social situations.

living alone is cool until you choke on some cake and realize no one would find your dead body until days later with the fork you were using to shovel red velvet cake right from the pan still in your hand

I love ruining my mental state by constantly watching serial killer documentaries as a single woman living alone in her 20’s. Really adds the right amount of ~spice~ to my life.

If something terrible were to happen to me. I'd like to think whoever found me would say "he had some really good tabs open." #livingalone

Living alone is kinda lit. My bra is on the kitchen table. There are snacks in my bathroom cabinet. I sit naked on my recliner. I live in organized anarchy

One of the upsides of living alone is that you can own 27 different types of rice and no one questions your sanity

My biggest fear about living alone is that a crazed gunman might break in while I'm in the shower and laugh at my penis.

Living alone, I spend the day after I shave my head worried I'm walking around with an undetected tuft of hair left on the back of my head.

Cons of living alone: you eat the entire cheeseball yourself and are now paying the consequences

Living alone comes with special perks, like the freedom to scratch your back against the arm of your couch while you're completely nude.
