Adult Truths

[big dog cowboy]

Not my list - just reposting:


1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

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

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

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

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

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

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

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

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

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

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 technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

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

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

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

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

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

19. 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?

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

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

22. 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 everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

23. People who forward e- mail without deleting the tons of previous recipients should be shot and then tarred and feathered.

24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

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 technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.This has always bothered me quite a bit. 100% of the time I have to stop a moment a ponder the consequences for at least 5-10 seconds. :bang2:

[jimmy40]

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

Between my four kids I must have said this a 1,000 times. "You're not hungry, your bored".

[Robbieac]

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

I remember when this list first went around 5-10 years ago. At that time, the statement said DVD instead of Blue Ray. I guess we didn't heed the advice. It'll be only a few more years until Blue Ray is "obsolete" as well....

Oh this one is terrifying if you're modifying files in Photoshop to be inserted into a Word document in a hurry. Spend 45 minutes making corrections to the picture, drop it in the document, save and close it, and then realize you just overwrote the original photo file you'll need later on as Photoshop shuts down.

You can get the original image back, but it also happens the other way around too. :banghead:

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.Back when I had a 9-5 job, this was usually at 9am...LOL!

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
A good rule of thumb is that if you are being routed to Martin Luther King Drive, DON'T GO!

I've seen this on I40 between Little Rock and Memphis. An 18 wheeler blocked a lane to keep people from going to the front of the line and cutting in. I was loving it. :laugh1:

I do this with my little Nissan 350z all the time. That is my biggest pet peeve while on the road. I get honked at constantly for doing so.

Maybe so but the traffic flowed smoothly after he/she did it.

[Sam I Am]

I think it should be legal to shoot people who drive to the front and cut in traffic. As a matter a fact, I think they should provide bulldozers at every cutting point so that the after the cutters have their heads blown off, someone can bulldoze their car and what is left of their carcass (depending on the weapon used) off the road so that traffic can keep flowing smoothly.

1. As you get older, you will start to see the positives of anarchy. that's unless you are a mouthy, pain in the arse short person.

2. Nobody will ever admit they were wrong more than 5% of the time.

3. Plenty of great things happen after midnight.

4. Being great at making yourself look busy and important is a better path to success than actually being busy and important.

5. Never trust a man who will not admit to liking pro wrestling at least once in their life.

6. A woman has never ran this country, but in reality they have ran the country for the last 30 years, nonstop.

7. When a person claims they are not racist, they will then go on to say the most horribly racist thing ever.

8. If you don't understand basic internet and e-mail functionality, you are a moron who should be thrown down a flight of stairs.

9. At least 80% of our society is hypocrites as their love for the internet and things like Facebook, Twitter, etc. contradicts how they used to mock the internet before 2003. They should be banned from the internet for 6-months and then forced to write an apology letter before being allowed back on.

10. You can officially do anything and if you become famous, you will be a household celebrity in 15 years. Look out for Casey Anthony doing Sprite commercials by 2019.

I always wonder why morons will sit bumper to bumper for a mile long in the right lane when the left lane is still empty and absolutely open.

And if I'm in the right lane, I always let the guy in the left lane merge in front of me at the end.

I have no frustration at all then.

Think about it.

If they would merge before going all the way to end there wouldn't be a slow because no one would have to slow down and let them in.

I absolutely CAN NOT STAND people that try to zip all the way to the head of a line in the left lane, when there are tons of people waiting to take an exit or turn.

It's such a dick move, and I do NOT let those jerks merge in front of me, that's for damn sure. Not just because I care, but because I know I wouldn't want to be stuck in traffic waiting to turn and have someone ahead of me let a bunch of those jerks in and slow me down further.

I would say 'his' life over 'her' life. That's why I said 'never trust a man who will never admit to not liking pro wrestling once in their life.'

Pro wrestling is about basic conflict and simple resolution. Something that usually jives extremely well with young boys. There's something fishy if a man is unwilling to admit that. Or if they truthfully never liked pro wrestling, even as a kid, there's something fishy about that.

Stay away.

There's 2 reasons why I might do it.

1. There may be an accident ahead and I really don't feel like coming to a screeching halt and then have to sneak in front of a car.

2. Somebody may try and pull out into the left lane, not see me...accident.

Obviously I am not talking about if there is an accident, .. I'm talking about, for example, the road sign says, "Left lane closes 1 mile", ... everybody starts hugging into the right lane immediately.

I don't get it.

My friends and I were (and are) big boxing fans, because one of the guys I hung out had a father who was a professional boxing trainer.

We were taught early on to not like fake fighting. I don't hate wrestling, but I never got into it. FISHY, I know :)

I don't understand this.

I really don't. Is this some kind of Internet Meme/joke I'm unaware of?

To me, it really seems exactly the same as saying everyone has liked soap operas at least at some point in his/her life.

I don't know many people who enjoyed wrestling, at any point in their life. None of the guys I grew up with watched it, nor do they now.

I don't *think* my dad ever liked it, her certainly never said anything positive about it while I was growing up. Always just "it's fake fighting".

We watched boxing. I used to like boxing, and I still enjoy the occasional match.

To me, it really seems exactly the same as saying everyone has liked soap operas at least at some point in his/her life."Professional" wrestling is soap opera on steroids, with plotlines and outcomes prearranged well in advance of actual "matches". What is difficult to understand is the public frenzy over it. It's not unlike soccer fan fanaticism. Then again, soccer can look itself in the face and call its reflection a sport...

I don't get it either. At least in a soap opera you can have different story plots that lead to different outcomes. In Professional Wrestling, it's the same thing over and over. One guy yells at another and he yells back, they go into the ring and one of them wins a pre-determined outcome.

I watched it for about two months way back when I was around 8 or 9 years old. (even went to a match at the Ft Worth Convention Center) Back when it was Kerry/Kevin Von Erich, Bugsy McGraw, the Fabulous Freebirds, and the Great Kabuki.

After a couple of months, I couldn't figure out why I was actually watching it anymore and just changed the channel.

I find this to be wrong. Every form of entertainment goes back to the same formulas and the same bits, angles, storylines, etc. that have been going on for centuries. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how TV shows and movies are going to end and what is coming up next. That doesn't make them bad because it's how those are executed. Much like a blues guitarist... only 3 cords, but it's how you play it.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles was taken straight out of the 'Odd Couple' playbook which was taken out of the Laurel and Hardy playbook. But, John Candy and Steve Martin had their own way of doing it and it was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Wrestling is in the same way. Why? Because it's entertainment and that's how entertainment generally works.

I disagree with so much of this and I can tell you first hand that Blue guitar does NOT just consist of three cords! That is a very limited view of what any music composition is.

You should watch more movies as there are many that do not follow the same plot. You are just used to the garbage the movie studios puts out. Most of what comes out today is regurgitation of story-lines or outright remakes of movies because they are just trying to fire out movies as fast as possible to earn money faster. There are a few creative movies that came out lately that don't follow the same general plot sequences. I would say Inception and Limitless were refreshingly different. The movie studios are lazy bums and don't care if they regurgitate the same crap over and over.

I liken Professional Wrestling to todays "reality tv" shows. Today's reality tv shows aren't even really reality. They are all mostly scripted a head of time. They have to do this otherwise they would be boring. They must create controversy and drama that is over the top to keep people interested. Hence, Professional Wrestling is the same exact thing.
