Canker sores. 50% of humanity has experienced them. Ross Geller has to be one of the whiniest characters of television history, so naturally he encapsulates who I am during the stages of a canker sore.

Denial

You bumped your lip. You tell yourself that maybe you won’t get a canker sore. But deep down you know the inevitable is coming.

Anger

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

3. Bargaining

You begin to hate yourself for eating acidic food or forgetting to take your multi-vitamins and tell yourself you’ll be try to be better.

4. Depression

As your canker sore hits its most painful stage you succumb to despair.

5. Acceptance

As it starts to heal up you come to the realization that this is your new reality.
