32 truths for mature human beings
This is bouncing around the internets.

Enjoy....


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. "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? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

26. 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!

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 bicyclists.

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

2. Regarding #21
I had that experience upon watching the Italian movie, "L'Aventura". I saw that when it first came out when I was about 14. Then I watched it when I was in my 30s after I was married a while.

Oh boy.

4. If you haven't already done so,
read "Huckleberry Finn" as an adult, especially if you read it when you were a kid.

I'm surprised they didn't lynch Twain for that one.

5. A variation of #21 ...
... which I thought I read in the OP's post says:

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

8. Mine was "Suddenly Last Summer" with Elizabeth Taylor
and Katherine Hepburn.That movie scared the crap out of me when I was little for reasons I don't remember.I didn't realize what it was about until I saw it decades later.

11. "Merging late speeds traffic"
I've never understood why people think they have a right to block a lane of traffic simply because it was going to end in a mile. It's illogical, at best.

14. That only works if everyone is playing fair so the end of the two lines...
Edited on Fri Nov-12-10 07:05 PM by Tesha
..."alternate feed". But it never works that way because the
lane that's ending is always jam-packed with assholes who
will cut off anyone and everyone because they believe they
have a Dog-given right to get there first.

Late merging is also only effective if the lane restriction
is extremely short. Otherwise, the lane restriction throttles
flow and you might as well extend the lane restriction back
for the reason I mentioned above.

I'm firmly in favor of early mergers and despise people
who think it's okay to fly up the closing lane and cut
everyone off at the end.

12. Great List!! I can still write well in cursive, but preferred to print long before the WP-PC era...
...because I took a course in drafting (mechanical drawing) when I was in HS during the early 70s.
