He acted hard of understanding when I asked him to bring in the groceries, only bringing in the bags in the front seat and pretending not to see those in the back seat.

Joe was asked to bring in the groceries, he brought in those from the trunk but pretended not to see those in the back seat. Joe claimed he didn't think those where meant to be brought in to which Sara accused him of being hard of understanding.

no one understands me

The time has come to define what everyone in the majority of the emo subculture (I don't know what the minority is, I'm just a guy lmao) says.
You're saying this, because...and these are individual options that will likely make up with you...
1). You feel like a social outcast
2). You're having daddy issues (least common)
3). You feel no one loves you, or even gives a single shit about you (most common?)
4). You're trying to fit in (see also: poseur)
5). You're trying to be ironic
6). You're trying to be as non-mainstream as possible (rip scene kids lol)
7). You're clout-chasing
8). You're horny. (LEAST common)
9). You have a role model who says it
10). Some other arbitrary reason that likely makes up with this definition even though it probably has nothing to do with you
Poseur: "No one understands me..."
Legitimate emo: "Are you challenging me?"
Scene chick: "wtf is happening...xd"

Understandment

The result of achieving an understanding about an understatement.
And then there's Rectus 9, and trash can man, is a good planet.

It's easier to remember the word Understandment if you remember those definitions.
