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.

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:

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

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:

What is blue-ray? And why does it force people to restart their collections?

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!

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!

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.
