While surfing the interwebs I happened upon a list of things that were dubbed the 'Truths of Our Generation'. I didn't add to it at all, but clipped out a few I thought didn't suit me. Some of these are fucking hilarious. Enjoy.
- 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.
- 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.
- That’s
enough, Nickelback (Creed and Staind, too).
- 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. I think I
was the most shocked when I figured out how many references to sex and
drugs there were in Clueless.
- 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.Zoolander and anything with Will Ferrell I always do this,
but preface to my roommate before the dvd goes in that she can’t complain
about 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.
- The
only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a
text.
- Was
learning cursive really necessary?
- 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.
- My
brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as
none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the
name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.
- 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”. I’ve actually contemplated
writing out the examples for my last name (which is really long and
involves lots of m’s and n’s) because I constantly have to spell it to
give my e-mail address at work.
- What
would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
- 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.
- Obituaries
would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
- I
find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower
first and THEN turn on the water.
- Shirts
get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can
wear them forever.
- I
would like to officially coin the phrase ‘catching the swine flu’ to be
used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight
woman. Example: “Dave caught the swine flu last night.”
- 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.
- Is
it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
- If
Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would
probably just be completely invisible.
- 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.
- 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.
- Why
is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for
pedophiles…
- 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.
- It
should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
- I
keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer
when they call.
- Even
if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.
- 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…
- My
4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if
you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?
- 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.
- 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
estimated 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.
