Whether your school years are long gone by now or you are still studying, I think most of us know what it means and how it feels to be picked last in gym class. If we don’t know the actual feeling as we may have never been in such a situation – well, it’s not hard to imagine.
However, when you don’t need to avoid gym classes anymore, there appear to be many different situations that make you feel very similar. And unfortunately, there are a lot. For example, being one of two people who order a taxi and realizing that everyone else wants to go with that other person. Or finding out that your friends have a group chat in which you are not included. You understand the feeling.
Recently, one Reddit user popped the question online, asking folks to share what is the adult version of being picked last in gym class. The thread gained a lot of attention and different opinions, so scroll through and share your thoughts below!

Basically you do something that everyone has a problem with for some reason and then someone else does the same thing and people are fine with it.
If you don’t keep up the effort, everyone just fades away.
And the even worse flip side, arriving at the location for a group outing, and nobody else shows up because it was cancelled but nobody told you.
“Yes but I’ll let you know if something else props up”
As in “I will but only as a last resort in case someone even better wants to hang out”
Out of all the people at work doing very little/ nothing at all, and being the only person to get a very s**t task, while the others have no tasks assigned. That’s me.
Then of course there is the “hey let’s order pizza” day but they don’t ask if you want to go in on it.
The best one is when someone tell you about something that happened and you were there and saw it yourself. You say I know I saw it. Their response “You were there?” Yes. I was standing right next to you.
You weren’t considered for promotion because “something something HR says we’ve got to hire someone from outside”
You get asked to train the new hire to be your supervisor
Every year, they give me f**king cheese. And they bring their own, so why bother even giving me cheese?
Texting all your friends merry Christmas and not a single one of them texting it to you first.
Going to the bathroom with the girls and then they leave you in there alone hahahahaha
