Published June 21st, 2016 - 02:47 GMT

Does a # look like a newly-baked waffle to you? Does an @ look like mshabak (Lebanese donut)? Are you struggling to fast...but too dehydrated to cry? If the answer is yes, then you officially have a #RamadanProblem!

Find like-minded friends looking to harangue about their hunger on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Vine. Check out our pick of the best #RamadanProblems, consider posting some of your own.

It will distract you from your belly rumblings and prove that - during the holy month - misery really does love company! The fasting folks at Al Bawaba offer up some light-hearted and light-headed observations made in the run up to Iftar. Tick, tock...and yalla iftar o’clock!

One meal, a thousand plates! “Right when I think I finished washing all the dishes, 20 more plates just magically pop up out of nowhere,” whines @hadeeeel49.

“Why is time going so slow when I need it to go fast, be maghrib already? YALLAH I’M HUNGRY!!! lol”, posts @hbibti-carina.

@FitMuslimah hates “When it’s time for Suhoor and you are still full from iftar”.

She should meet up with @KinzaSohail1, who posted a belfie (um, belly selfie?) titled, “Me after every iftar”.

#RamadanProblems for #BritishFasters? @ShafLdn posts, “Hiding in Tesco to escape the rain but trying to block out the smell of cookies.”

“All the tea boys are wandering about the company floor aimlessly as if they’ve lost the will to live’, observes @BrownWhovian, while @Rabia_Rashid tells of a “client meeting while fasting...Can I get you a drink...Nope it’s fine I’m fasting...Panic to hide the coffee he’s holding!”

Bad breath trauma: “When you are trying to have a decent conversation with someone but your breath is stinkier than sweaty socks”, comes from @ReyahChowdhury.

Time zone blues! “When the East Coast fam Snaps me food but I still got over an hour before I can eat”, posts @DoeSuu11

@putriC-pradana says, “There’s nothing better than cooking in Ramadan bc you can’t taste anything so you hope & pray that u don’t poison anyone.”

“That feeling when you find leftover Suhoor snacks around the house later in the day”, just shatters @qamr_hussain.

“Around this time every day my stomach starts to eat itself,” posts peckish @Naderlhmoud.

@HotterThanCurry tried to bounce before the mosque stampede, but noticed, “#AwkwardMoment when u walk out of Taraweh (extra Ramadan prayers) after 8 Raka’a (reps) , while the rest of the congregation prays 20 & you do “the walk of shame””

Fasting all day comes with feasting all night. Think Ramadan is a great time to get skinny? FAT CHANCE. Increased consumption paired with amped up napping prompted @saraaaaaaaaaaaa to post this before-and-after iftar shot.

Or maybe your Non-Muslim friends aren’t even aware of what you’re going through- they think you’re watching football’s UEFA Euro 2016 with them... but really you’re just staring at those delicious onion rings.

#RamadanProblems is not just snarky humor. It’s also for tip-swapping for Muslims and non-Muslims too, such as this idea for respectful non-believers, "Try to eat a massive meal before you meet your Muslim friends so you don't get hungry while you're with them". Pringle before you mingle?

Look at the bright side, at least in Ramadan, despite all that we go through, Allah makes sure you have a date every night!
