PR Problems

Stress. It's every 9-5er's worst enemy. Too many emails, to-do lists and phone calls make us all want to hide under our desks at some point.

Instead of giving our Gmail the death stare, we've found that laughter is the best medicine. A little PR humor, courtesy of 99 Problems But a Pitch Aint One, reminds us that we're not the only ones freaking out over retweets and press releases.

Fellow PR pros, we'd like to make your day a little brighter by sharing some of our favorite GIFs with you.


1. When your client's press mention is even better than expected.

2. Your emails during the day...and at night...and during the weekend.

3. When you see the same grammatical error over...and over...and over.

8. When you click send on an email only to realize you sent it to a writer from publication 'x' when the email mentions publication 'y'.

9. When a client emails about an additional change to a press release seconds after you send it to your entire media list.

Don't you feel better already? You can know calmly return to your email.
