In a world where everything just seems to want to get on your nerves, where the universe is basically conspiring against you, where it seems like everyone is simply out to annoy you, keeping your fast is probably the hardest thing possible. And believe it or not, we do live in that world! Here are just a few of the times you’ve felt like you needed to break your fast!

1- When You Wake Up Early and Realize You Have 7+ hours to Maghrib

You’ve woken up at 9 AM and it’s just too early to be awake. Now, you have to deal with your hunger pangs and thirst all day. At least when you were asleep you couldn’t feel anything! You have to get through the day and count the hours till Maghrib!680164283708215297-Twitter

2- While in Traffic

Traffic and fasting don’t mix. They just don’t. What’s worse is being surrounded by a whole bunch of other people who are probably as annoyed as you are by the traffic!stuck-in-traffic

3- When You Stub Your Toe

Somehow the pain is just amplified by the fact that you’re fasting. And while you might feel the need to swear, you hold it in because that’s all you can do!stubbing-toe-o

4- When Someone You Know Isn’t Fasting and is Eating/Drinking in Front of You

We all like to pretend we’re okay with it. We let others know that it’s fine if they’re eating or drinking in front of us but the truth is, we just want to chow down and sip on whatever they have! But we’re better than that! We have self-control!tumblr_inline_n4vft8eq2d1rq1vzh

5- 5 mins Before Maghrib When the Food is on the Table

It’s all there! The chicken, the meat, the bread! And the water, the glorious, glorious water! But you have to wait five more mins before you can sink your teeth into anything!when-can-we-eat-gif

6- When You’re Near Any Body of Water

Whether you’re washing your hands or filling up the water jug for fetar, you wonder what it would be like if you just took a sip to quench your thirst, but you decide not to…eventually.200_s

7- While Watching Re-runs of Soqoot 7or

This show usually airs after maghrib but for those of you who like to watch it before, you may find you want to break your fast while waiting for Malak to speak :’)
