You’re scrolling through Facebook and quickly getting bored and frustrated by all of the routine life announcements, pictures of vacations you’ll never take, and weird political views of distant relatives and mostly forgotten high school friends.

Your day got just a little bit better.
We’ve all been there. As much as Facebook can seem like a haystack of bad ideas, there are some needles of comic relief waiting to be found. Here are some funny Facebook status updates that will leave you searching for the Like button.

Almost everyone who has a Twitter account and some sort of filter can relate to this status. Should I post this tweet? What if I offend someone? What if I get fired?

3)
This student is either trolling everyone or trying to improve his creative storytelling skills.

Facebook statuses aren’t usually considered breaking news, but this one made the news back in 2007, even though the amusement park disputed the story.
