11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent some jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my behind everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
 
Aside from the very last one, I agree with every single one of those. But if I'm tired enough to require my Snooze Button, I'm probably going to be swatting at my nightstand for about 30 seconds before I figure out what I'm doing. My alarm was going off one time, and I was so out of it that I kept pushing buttons on my phone and turning my lamp on and off before I realized that the hell was going on.
 
Excellent list, but you forgot the bit about senior citizens always driving 5mph below the speed limit on 2-lane city streets with no passing places. One time when this happened I muttered to the guy to just turn off the road into the crematorium and "get it over and done with". He did (turn; I'm not privy to what he did after that). Rather than feeling awesome, I was spooked, wimp that I am.
 
I love them all, but #22 seems to describe me to a tee. My fingers will be purple and I will still try to fit one more plastic bag into my hands, just so I don't have to come back to the car! :lol:
 
More like "if you're arrested" than "if you die" in the first one I think, If I'm dead I'm beyond caring.

And cursive... I learned that! kids are on the second different system of handwriting after cursive these days! -they have it way too easy!
 
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

Why not do that yourself now and live a life that won't shame your family?

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

Doesn't matter. Losers admit their wrong. Never compromise.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

Sucks getting old.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

I'd recommend comic sans.

5. How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

Fittingly.

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

Yes, so you can sign your name.

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

You are not most people.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

What part of "lengthy illness" don't you get?

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

Sucks getting old.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

Tell that to the cops and the judge.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

For me it's about one minute after I arrive.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

You'll be the old crank without the holo-movie player.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to
.

That means they are watching you.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

Why even own the damn thing?

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Darn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

I hate it when the phone rings at all.

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

Good thing that never happens, huh?

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

Damn skippy.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

It hurts the gnomes' eyes.

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay. (Or wine...or Margaritas!!)

What about *censored*? As Family Guy put it "Diamonds, because you'll pretty much have to."

20. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

THAT'S RACIST.

21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

What?

22. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I'd rather never shop for groceries.

23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

Texting and driving is not advisable.

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

I have a similar problem with payback and spite.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

What?

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent some jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

I love when the suckers let me in.

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

You must be a white collar worker.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

If you live in the USA, then, yes, they do.

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

You've led a charmed life.

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

That's damn skippy.

31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

Watches aren't supposed to be functional.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my behind everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

You snooze; you lose.
 
24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
Holy crap! You mean there's a difference? :wtf:

My husband doesn't understand eating something when you're not hungry. Can you imagine how many calories you would cut out of your diet if you only ate when you needed to?
 
I love them all, but #22 seems to describe me to a tee. My fingers will be purple and I will still try to fit one more plastic bag into my hands, just so I don't have to come back to the car! :lol:
My left thumb is still numb.

"Sir, wouldn't you like a basket?" is a common question when I'm leaving the grocery store. :D
