Random ponderables...
1. 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.

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

3. 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?

4. 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.

5. That's enough, Nickelback

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

7. 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.

8. Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo or Atari 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.

9. There is a great need for sarcasm font.

10. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the f&*% was going on when I first
saw it.

11. 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.

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

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

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

15. A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the
spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

16. Was learning cursive really necessary?

17. Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else
to say".

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

19. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying.

20. 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".

21 How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

22 I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams
up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong,
brothers!

23. 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"

24. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

25. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.

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

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

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

29. Bad decisions make good stories

30. 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!

31. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every
year?

32. If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring
would probably just be completely invisible.

33. 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....

34. 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.

35. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't
want to have to restart my collection.

36. 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.

37. 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.

38. While watching the Olympics, I find myself cheering equally for
China and USA. No, I am not of Chinese descent, but I am fairly certain
that when Chinese athletes don't win, they are executed.

39 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?

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

41. 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.

42 Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising
speed for pedophiles...

43. 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.

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

45. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

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

47. Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do
to with it.

48. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey
- but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3
feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

49 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.

50. I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they
drive behind obeys the speed limit.

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

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

53. The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, 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.

3. LOL, so many great ones
I always suddenly intently look at my phone right before turning around after I've gone the wrong way.

:rofl:

6. I do that same exact thing.
I will look at my watch, phone or list (if in a store), make an exhasperated facew with a sigh and change directions
