Hilarious video showing the difference between men and women arriving at work is too relatable

The personalities of men and women sometimes differ so much that it seems like they are from different planets. Their likes and dislikes are almost polar opposites and their characteristics are quite distinct. This difference can be seen in how men and women arrive at work every morning. Apart from the obvious factors like the arrival time or their appearance, a TikTok lifestyle content creator, Hunter, observed another aspect which she revealed in her video. With nearly 315K views in just 4 days, the video seemed too relatable to many. 

As the video begins, we can see four female workers entering the office and being greeted by their co-worker behind the camera. While it may seem like a normal thing that we see every day at our workplaces, the difference becomes obvious when men arrive at work. The contrast between "how girls arrive to work" versus "how men arrive to work" is seen as the male employees enter the office empty-handed. "I will never understand how guys can show up with nothing in their hands," Hunter pointed out in the captions. 

Those who haven't noticed the difference would now understand that every woman who entered the door was carrying more than one bag and at least one drink. All the women had their hands full while checking in to work. Whereas the men walked in with nothing to carry - no bags, lunch bags, or even water bottles. It was just a breezy walk for the men, unlike the girls who had to balance a plethora of things with just two hands. More than 1800 comments swarmed in and both men and women chimed in with their own justification for the contrasting views.

"People make fun of me but I need a caffeinated drink, a hydration drink and a fun drink! What’s so hard to understand?" said @emilymoore224. "Do they not drink or eat all day? I would be dying of thirst," asked @sayblemae about how men go through the day without bringing their own drinks. "I need my essentials and if that includes 20 drinks and half of my apartment to function then so be it," added @thirstyhungryamigos.

Others pointed out that men don't need to carry anything because they get what they want from the cafeteria. "I don't know what your job is but you probably have a cafeteria or good restaurants nearby so they're set. And for drinks, you have a water cooler. If so these boys are set," noted @okami10994. "As a guy, I don’t get it. What is in all those bags and why so many drinks? Did you leave anything at home?" asked @foolkiller8. "All we need is phone wallet and keys," added @topheadstudio.

Considering the fact that many women in the comments attributed carrying multiple bags and drinks to the workplace to enhance their productivity, the popular "three-drink theory" needs to be mentioned. Comedian Sophia Wilson Pelton (@sophiawpelton) shared a video about how they preferred three liquids - one for fun, one for hydration and one for energy. Calling it the "height of luxury," Pelton pointed out that the "caffeinate, alleviate and hydrate" concept made them feel like they had it all and as though they were living large. The trend caught on with many other women sharing their own "desk habit" of using three drinks which include, water, juices or kombuchas and a caffeine source.
