20 Neither Terrible Nor Great But Perfectly Average Things In Life According To Reddit

Some of the most relatable things in life are not exciting at all, and that is exactly why people keep talking about them. Reddit users recently shared a long list of everyday things that sit comfortably in the middle, not terrible, not amazing, just perfectly average.

The thread is full of small, familiar moments, from food and weather to awkward routines and low-stakes decisions. None of it is dramatic, but that is part of the appeal, because these are the little things people notice when life is moving along without much fuss.

Here are the average moments Reddit thinks deserve a little more credit.

Sometimes, we just have to appreciate the things that are in the middle, allowing us to live life without really having to pressure ourselves with anything. We're dealing with enough pressure elsewhere already, so it's good to have those little breaks of averageness.
