On the bright side, they’ll only have to put up with it for 12 more years.

No mention of responsibilities at work. Or taking care of families. Or retirement, planning for the future, college planning for their kids, or really, *any* adult responsibilities at all.

Just noticed that. No mention of mortgages, yard work or home repairs either. It looks like the list came from 18-year-olds still living with their moms.

For example, although losing one’s wallet or credit card ranked as the top source of stress for respondents, 1 in 5 say they’d be even more apoplectic if their smartphone screen broke. For more than 2 in 5 millennials (41%), a damaged phone screen is worse than seeing their “check engine” light flash on in the car.

I lack the words for an adequate expression of contempt. I hope this is Fake News and a buggered up, agenda driven survey lacking utterly in valid data.

Liberal Snowflakes can’t face any challenges without withdrawing and going catatonic or full blown bitching.

The Trump Curse is making these worthless individuals even crazier from the ordinary challenges of life each day.

I think they are mixing up ‘stress’ with lack of meaning. If you don’t feel that life has meaning, nothing seems worth the effort, and all you want to do is be entertained.

OMG! OMG! My phone is down to 40% and there’s no service here and I left my charger cable home and the sea is rising and it’s getting warmer!

"Tell me about it!"

Grow up,snowflakes. Life isn’t for the weak and afraid.

Although posted on Drudge this is likely to be a spoof.

There is exactly 1 article about this study in the world, and no mention of it on the website of the “hemp oil” company that supposedly sponsored it>

Yep, that's why I figure it was a forced list. "Which of these 30 things stresses you out..."

To their credit, "politics" and "Trump" were left off. So there's that.

"House just got hit with a tornado". "Kid was in an accident and broke his arm". "Boss says that he's outsourcing my job next month". These are stressors, and things that would keep me up at night.

"Doing Dishes"?? If I even was thinking about that, ever, I'd get out of bed, do them, and then sleep worry-free. Rest of the list is roughly the same...easily remedied.

Liberal Snowflakes can’t face any challenges without withdrawing and going catatonic or full blown bitching.

The Trump Curse is making these worthless individuals even crazier from the ordinary challenges of life each day.

Then, they watch the fake evening news and the late night hate Trump shows and become even more agitated.

Thanks for this great modern day sermon/life lesson!

[Old Yeller]

Washing dishes? Oh those poor dears.

Losing my job was the most stressful thing ever.

To the millennial:

Stress is having a low draft number in 1968.

I ws thinking that my (at the time) 15 and 16 year old uncles who landed ad Normandy would likely not knwo how to react to this without violence

[Rummyfan]

Welcome to adulthood! The poor babies....

And while gridlock was the third most common cause of stress for young adults, 30% of those surveyed agreed that slow WiFi was even more stressful than slow traffic.

First World, twenty-first century problems.
