S30TRBO Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Try not to laugh out loud... I dare you!! Random thoughts from people 25-45 years old: • I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. • 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. • Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. • 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? • That's enough, Nickelback. • 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 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. • There is a great need for sarcasm font. • 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. • 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. • The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text. • A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it. • 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 jerk 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. • MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. • I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water. • I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. • Bad decisions make good stories. • 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! • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. • Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it. • 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. • 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. • I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay. Happy Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so many of those are true. (FWIW, I'm only 19) Except for the second to last one. My freezer has a light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I actually started laughing hysterically at work when I read this; • 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.

I'll put on a crappy show so they all leave and then I can switch to Speed and not have to hear the inane comments like, "You only watch racing for the crashes."

JMortensen Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hell, not me.

Sounds like you need to stop inviting stupid people to your house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrustnut Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I still have a Nintendo I play pretty often, and still do the blow in the game thing which my kids (11 and 4) now do as well. I have no idea why this works, but it dose and I have no idea who told me to do it in the first place. I also remember putting rubbing alchahol on a Q-tip and cleaning the really bad ones.

The absolute 110% failsafe bulletproof miracle fix for the nintendo game, is to blow hot, moist air on the cartridge. Never did that ancient technique fail me, not a single time.

Tony D Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 "• 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"." My favorite is spelling things that torture the idiot on the other end of the line: That's "G" like in "Gnomes" "P" like in "Phlebotomist" "X" as in "Xenophobia" etc... Looks like I made the cutoff by 25 days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 28 yrs old. Loved it! Especially "Enough, Nickelback"! I am so sick of them that I don't even listen to their old stuff. Thanks for the great laugh. Great way to start the work day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcar? Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I made it to this one and started to bust up laughing: • While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it....thanks Mario Kart. this one is also so true: • I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello?

blue72 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Crazy coincidence that I dug out the NES last night. I still had the original Nintendo cleaning cartridge kit, but I couldn't resist blowing imaginary dust out of some of them. TMNT 2 arcade version FTW.
