A floating dumpster became the most relatable meme

Pittsburgh was hit with heavy rain on Wednesday night, causing severe flooding on a local highway. 

Unlike typical rainfall in the area, the thunderstorm didn't just pass through. Instead, it stayed over the city, dumping half an inch of rain over Pittsburgh every hour. 

The storm gave us one bright spot during the downpour: this video of a dumpster jauntily floating down the river that used to be Route 51. Local news anchor Ken Rice captured it on the move on Wednesday night.

Not all Twitter users had fond memories of their past relationships — and this floating dumpster reminded them of that. 

Who would get downtown faster: Vanessa Carlton or this dumpster?

And the roasts rolled through.

But others just dragged themselves. 

Some added their own effects to the floating dumpster, like carnival music. 

One Twitter user pasted the Trump family happily riding in the trash.  

But the friendliest troll on Twitter, @darth ,animated how we're all really feeling about 2018: like a dumpster fire floating through a storm. 

Somehow, this dumpster is all of us just trying to make it to the weekend.
