I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think
about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own
story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again.
Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
There is a great need for sarcasm font.
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.
I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a
millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.
How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
Was learning cursive really necessary?
Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.
I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.
Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”
What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in theshower first and THEN turn on the water.
Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….
You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.
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.
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.
“Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damnit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
When I meet a new girl, I’m terrified of mentioning something she hasn’t already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
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.
Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
I think that if, years down the road when I’m trying to have a kid, I find out that I’m sterile, most of my disappointment will stem from the fact that I was not aware of my condition in college.
Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my @$$ everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, I saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimate d that there must be at least four people eating
to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner.
Thanks Manish
I chuckled at a lot of these, I’ve had just about every random though in this list.
This is my favorite: I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
lol (this is a real ‘lol’ not a don’t have anything left to say ‘lol’)
I wish The Weather Channel told me about the weather rather than what would happen if an 8.5 earthquake hit New York. I would also like to turn on CNN/Headline News and always see news. I’d say something about MTV but complete suckage is a given. And, good gravy, what the hell happened to A&E, which was once known as “Arts & Entertainment”.
I watch too much TV.
I really agree with and like most of these, but as a cyclist, pedestrian and driver, I’d like it if you could change you thought process on cyclists.
ReGards,
–Pete
A&E, aka The CSI repeat channel.
Why is it that there isn’t anything new or interesting on the TV for hours, then four channels will have something that you have been wanting to watch come on at the same time?
And since weather was mentioned, I don’t care what the high was in Phoenix or Bangor yesterday. Just tell what is supposed to happen here today.
O.K. I’ll go take some of isiah’s meds now.
Well, since you guys mentioned weather, I hate when they tell me what the temp is ‘downtown’, then the temp at the airport (6 miles from downtown)(same), then the temp in the city 15 miles away (same), the temp in the city 15 miles the other way (-1°), the temp in the city 20 miles south (same), and 8 other temps from around the state (+/- 3°). Then the temps in cities in nearby states (all +/- 8°). A simple “it’s about 70° all around the state” would be just fine with me.
And I hate “winter storm warning” for 2-4″ of snow.
I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?
Hear, hear! Have your fun the way you want to, and leave me to mine. And, come to think of it, it’s just about that time.
“I don’t understand the purpose of the line, ‘I don’t need to drink to have fun.’ Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?”

Third time, but no harm?
Should include one from an old post I remember: “There’s no greater fear than having either a hand or your head stuck in something.”
BTW there is a sarcasm font, just google it.
…lol
more kisses start with Miller Lite, that’s funny. LOL for real.
I’ll drink to that Acorvid.
I’ll drink to that Acorvid.
Acovid – How long is an inchworm and is it a worm?
Richard,
I’m often awfully slow on the uptake, and this is one of those instances: inchworms?
Acorvid
That was absolutely brilliant. I figured someone had been reading my mind, but I guess I’m just part of the collective consciousness.
LOL. That makes it even funnier. Is that a proper word teach?
Fabulous list. I will be instructing my children to begin my obituary with “In the belief that this obituary will be a lot more interesting if you know how he died, Dad passes away from …”. They will also be instructed not to advise their mother of these plans, because everybody knows what happens to her sense of humour whenever her husband dies.
The Nintendo one is right — kids today are pansies… however I have been known to google information while writing an email to ensure accuracy rather than grabbing one of those old-fashioned encyclopedias.
DJ – as someone who has lived in three states where weather varies by zip code, I appreciate the weather from different areas around the locale… however, I have noticed most areas that would benefit from having data from multiple locations tends to have only one. For instance, Hawaii is always under one forecast, however the islands stretch over 1,000 miles with varying topographies. It’s like getting the weather for San Diego and trying to apply it to Las Vegas.
Thank you Jonco and Manish for a month’s worth of facebook statuses.
I wish you had been my high school guidance counselor.
HAHA this is the greatest list ever! after every one I was like ‘oh wow yeah why is that?’ such a good idea for a post :o)
You are totally awesome. Are you me? You have my thoughts.
Cooper Green, you said “They will also be instructed not to advise their mother of these plans, because everybody knows what happens to her sense of humour whenever her husband dies.”
I have to ask: how many husbands did your wife outlive?
I like to wonder aloud why drive-up ATM machines have Braille buttons. I know the answer (because the same keypad is used on walk-up ATM’s), but it is funny to see the reaction that statement provokes.
Acorvid – If I have to explain it, nevermind. You had to be in here the other day.
It’s funny that we all can relate to most of these. It’s also sad that we’re really not as unique as we think we are….!
1. Put your hands into the two corners of a short side, the sheet hanging from your hands
2. With your right hand, take the bottom left corner and fit it onto your left hand, turning it inside out (the corner) in the process
3. Repeat with the bottom right corner, turning it and fitting it onto your right hand
You have now the sheet folded in two, two corners neatly fitted on each hand and the fold hanging at the bottom.
4. Bring your hands together, fitting the two left corners onto your right hand, turning them inside out in the process, and taking the newly formed fold at the top with your left hand
Now you can put the sheet onto a table. It’s neatly folded in four, although more a trapeze than a rectangle. Fold the long side to make a rectangle and then fold in two again.
Voilà.
Let me add one more “And always remember, when life hands you Lemon, ask for Tequila and Salt and call me over”
Don’t panic thinking that the world will come to an end today because it is already tomorrow in Australia
These are great. Also why is the English grammar so messed up.
I can see a goose, nope look another, now 2 geese.
I can see a moose, nope look another, now 2 moose’s
