I went to the store and willingly bought celery, which is a vegetable, therefore I am an adult.

When you buy a car that you cant afford.

When you invite the neighbours round and then upset all of them by just being you.

When it seems like a good idea to call in sick because you've 'had a death in the family'

When you're sat by the loo because cleaning up sick from the floor doesnt seem exciting. Plus the cleaner (your mom) ain't coming for 2 weeks.

When everyone looks 28 and that's young.

When you can afford to buy 3 for 100.

When all you wanna do is forget the day before.
Hello Ron,

No, I'm not happy about being at work for 7.15am but you know, I'm adulting.

Oh thanks Phil, yes I have an adult car as I'm adulting.

What's a #? I'm too old to know, but I'm adulting..

A term used by people who are incapable of growing up or maturing and is often followed by complaints or excuses.
Wow! Becky is really good at “adulting”.

When in reality this person no longer wishes to act like a child and decides to move forward in life.

A fake word used by idiots (millennials mainly), in an attempt to turn the adjective adult into a verb in a feeble attempt to describe if a person is actually an adult or behaves in an adult manner and thus doing the things any responsible adult with an average or above IQ can handle. You cannot "adult" something. It is as bad or worse as the overuse of learnings in the corporate world.
Jane is so responsible, she pays her bills on time, walks the dog, grows her own food and calls her mom every week, she is so good at adulting.
