The Scaries love company. Being alone with your thoughts is quite possibly the worst thing you can do while trudging through an anxiety-riddled Sunday. You’re sweating, you don’t know if your friends still like you, and you’re praying your credit card is in the crumpled pair of pants (or pocketed dress, ladies) on your bedroom floor. I get it.
But that’s where our relationship comes in. You’re going to be less Scared if those around you are equally as Scared, therefore a support group needed to be formed. And this is where you apply.
Please address your applications to will@grandex.co. Ensure the subject of your email reads, “Sunday Scaries Support Group Application” and the best answers will be compiled. Please keep answers concise as possible while still being as entertaining as possible. No one with a hangover likes when people are over-the-top, and reading long paragraphs with a vodka-induced headache is out of the question.
Please Note: All submissions will remain anonymous.
How old are you?
21-and-under need not apply because you simply don’t contract a recurring case of The Sunday Scaries until after the age of 22 when you truly learn that life does not, in fact, get any better.
What do you do for a living?
If you’re working Sundays, crumple up your application and throw it in the trash because this relationship isn’t going to work out. I need your full attention at all times. Unless we simultaneously fall asleep while watching Master of None, that is.
What is your Instagram handle?
First and foremost, aesthetic is everything. If you can’t properly filter a photo and get an un-embarrassing amount of likes, your services will not be needed. The best Sunday or brunch-inspired Instagrams will be used not only to determine your worthiness but to embed in the ‘best answers’ column.
Please describe your aesthetic within your answer and include a link to your handle.
How did you spend your weekend?
Yes, I know you were at bars that you probably don’t remember. But what kind of bars? There’s a wide gap between buying $8 pitchers of Molson and using your dad’s American Express to buy bottles with sparklers attached to it served to you by girls who look like they’ll be on next season of The Bachelor.
What is your typical Sunday outfit?
You simply can’t sit on my couch and smell my scented candles if you’re going to be wearing high school gym shorts and a t-shirt with pit stains that you can see from space. Look fresh, feel fresh. Athleisure is en vogue but you still need to be able to get a fit off. Pictures welcome but not required, as I will thoroughly trash your fit behind your back should it be garbage.
What is your go-to brunch order?
Despite common logic, there’s a huge difference between your screwdriver orderers and your bottomless mimosa enthusiasts. Give me a line-item list of what you’re ordering at your ideal brunch from the drink(s) to the entree.
Which streaming passwords are you in possession of?
I’m talking Netflix, HBO Go, Showtime, Hulu, Amazon Prime – the works. Endlessly trying to find something to stream around the 7 o’clock hour on Sundays is a time-honored tradition, and we can’t do that if you’re sleepwalking through life with basic cable.
What is your go-to hangover cure?
We’re all here for similar reasons, so don’t act like you don’t attempt to paint the town red every weekend despite your weekly urge to stay in. Whether it’s Gatorade mixed with Alka Selter, sex, or a quadruple order of fries from In-N-Out, we need to be on the same page.
What does your Panic Room look like?
From the thread count of your sheets to the notes in your scented candles, I need to know the details of the habitat in which you choose to decompress and unwind. If you have a dog, I need the breed. That should go without saying.
Again, all answers will remain anonymous after they’re sent to will@grandex.co. But with that being said, let’s get on a wave together. .
Phoning in content. Nice
Man, I’ve got an A1 resume for everything except the Instagram game because I can never remember to take pictures of anything. Could be my downfall because I know Instagram is Willy’s #1 criteria.
Really need to work on my aesthetic as well
Let’s work on this together over brunch.
Sending you my application would be about as successful as when I fill out online application for job postings on Goldman Sachs website…
I just don’t have the pedigree…
Wait so submissions remain anonymous but you also want my insta?
I need to step my game all the way up just from reading the questions. Will try for the 2018 draft instead
I got half way through doing this and then realized I really need to do some soul searching.
Don’t have instagram and rarely go to brunch so I guess I’m out.
No instagram, and my town is small enough the closest thing to a brunch option is an egg mcmuffin. No chance.
This will be the easiest application of my life.
