Find out How Well You’d Handle the Apocalypse by Handling These 12 Minor Inconveniences

Aliee Chan

We’ve all been there: something totally minor freaks us out and someone condescendingly goes “it’s not the end of the world, calm down,” to which we’d like to give a big hearty “EXCUSE YOU. NOBODY ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION!” But… what about when it’s the actual, *literal* end of the world? We’re talking about the apocalypse, and whether we humans bring this upon ourselves or the cosmos take their natural course and the sun one day explodes; the apocalypse is coming and you should be prepared.

An excellent gauge on your preparedness? How you handle those idiotic “not the end of the world” situations. They’re a micro-example of what would potentially go down when the world actually ends. Are you calm, cool, and collected? More of an action-minded doer? Or do you freak out, lose your temper, and handle everything like a catastrophe? The good news is that during the apocalypse, most of us will probably die anyhow. Wait… *is* that good news?

See if you can make it out alive, or at the very least not lose your cool. Get in your bomb shelters and let’s get quizzing!

Find out How Well You’d Handle the Apocalypse by Handling These 12 Minor Inconveniences

The common enemy we can all get behind: traffic. It's bumper-to-bumper as far as the eye can see. What do you do?

You're home alone and you've just finished going to the bathroom when - GASP! - no more toilet paper. The replacement rolls are in an outside cabinet. Now what?

You're watching a movie late at night when there's a sudden power outage! What's the first thing you do?

You're out for the day -probably at work- when you stain your shirt! It's pretty bad, but you still have to go on with your life. What's your next move?

You're cozy under your favorite blanket ready to binge watch your weekend away... only to realize the remote is just out of reach. What should you do?

Ugh, you still don't understand someone after multiple times of them repeating themselves. It's about to get awkward. What happens next?

Goodnight! It's bedtime, but the fitted sheet corner by your feet keeps popping off the mattress. How do you handle this?

You're in this public bathroom and - uh oh - no soap in any dispenser. Gross. What should you do?

You're trying to open a package encased in thick plastic that boasts it's easy to open. Spoiler: it's not. What do you grab to help you open this?

Nothing's more frustrating than this. Your wifi is suddenly the slowest thing in the world! Don't kill your computer, do something else. But what?

It's everyone's favorite sensation: you just walked in to a room and forgot why you walked in in the first place. Ack! Think of something to do!

You try to log in to your email, forget the password, try to reset it, and... it can't be the password you had before? GRRRRR! What's next?
