This 'Miserable Men' Instagram Is Literally Every Man Waiting On A Woman

OK, so let me make a disclaimer before I start: THIS DOESN'T ONLY HAPPEN TO MEN. Oh, and gay couples exist, too.

OK, now that's out of the way, I can talk about how much of a relief it is to see an Instagram page that collects images of men miserably waiting for their significant others shopping. Because I've been there so many times.

When your girlfriend (or boyfriend, yeah I know, gay people shop too sometimes) is shopping, and you're either done buying stuff or in a place where you can't or don't want to look around, a place to sit becomes like an oasis in a desert.

Because shopping, unless you're the person doing it, is inherently about as interesting as watching paint dry on the wall of your prison cell. You know that feeling when you're in a museum for slightly too long? How you feel like every second is bringing you one step closer to a coma? That's what it's like to wait for someone to finish trying on clothes.

The Miserable Men Instagram documents these moments of soul-crushing boredom. Whenever you are feeling like there is nothing good on Netflix to watch, just scroll through this account to remind yourself how lucky you are not to be in a mall with Sheryl trying on jeans.

This guy is sleeping with his mouth open in hopes that some good Samaritan might poison him and thus free him from the cage that is his life.

This guy finally understands why Anakin Skywalker turned to the Dark Side after his mom died.

This guy is a living, breathing, feeling storage closet.

This man is thinking about the Spanish Inquisition, you know, to cheer himself up.

OK, this guy might be a predator, or he's waiting for his granddaughter to pick out the bear that "best represents who she is."

Apparently, there are miserable men in Chile, too. That's "Chile," the country, not "chili" the laxative.

This guy might just be really old.

This guy is sleeping, but also looks like the person in a movie who is going to teach the protagonist how to become the best con man this side of the Mississippi.

Strength in numbers.

Look on the bright side: Maybe he'll be dead soon.

We need to organize. We need to march. We need to help these sad men.

This man has been here for two years.

It affects our children, too.

And our celebrities.

Please help them.
