This is bouncing around the internets.
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!

6. #2 is wrong - it just becomes a different kind of (equally fun) argument
:evilgrin:

#18 applies to cars as well, in a way: why do the doors trigger the dome-light, but the hatch doesn't? :grr:

10. Please post this info somewhere. After all these years,
I still cannot fold a fitted sheet. It always looks like I bundled it up right out of the dryer.

12. the trick is to
put your fingers into the fitted-corner seams....and fold one over on to the other.
do the same thing with the other two corners... should have a 1/2 sheet at this point with 2 rounded, fitted corners and to regular, pointed corners.

then fold it again, fitted seams folded onto the other fitted seams.

you'll have 3 pointed corners plus the 4 fitted, rounded corners folded into each other for the 4th corner.
The forth corner will be round (with all the seems matching where you've folded them on to each other)

you can just fold it up from here. The rounded corner can't be seen once it's folded up.

it doesn't lay perfectly flat, but it will fit just fine with flat sheets. and for the most part looks like a regular sheet.
I stack the fitted sheets and the flat sheets separately in the cabinet so I know which is which.

I'm very short, so I use a table to help me. Otherwise, my sheet would be on the floor.
Using a table actually helps with the first fold, because you can do one corner, set it down...
then do the other corner without it coming apart.

You can kind of straighten the fabric as you go to smooth things out.

9. You need cursive to write swear words. But as far as #21 goes,
it goes double for books. Sometimes I just go "oh."

11. I have standing orders for #1.
Edited on Sun Jan-23-11 05:56 AM by hobbit709
Wipe all of my computers and reinstall OS. All necessary disks are inside the case.

Of course I remove all history, etc. every night before bed.
