I was sent this at work and it made me giggle....

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.

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

Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature 
on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be 
friends with?

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 did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? 
There were 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 
realise I had no idea what the f*** 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.

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.

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?

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!

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".

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

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

Bad decisions make good stories.

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? Dammit!), 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.
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.

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

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.

The original title was random thoughts of the 25-35 year old. I'm 43 and I 
recognised myself too. Bloody youngsters think they have all the moves.....
