Random Thoughts From 25-35 Year Olds

Random thoughts from 25-35 year olds (with my comments added)

- I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. (totally agree)

-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. (er...done that)

-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you're wrong. (totally agree)

-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?

-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. (err....done that...)

-That's enough, Nickelback. (disagree there, I like Nickelback)

-I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. (funny how you hate it when you're a kid, and it's all you want when you're an adult)

-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? (definitely true for me)

-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. (true that)

-There is a great need for sarcasm font. (Linetta and I encase comments in "+" to denote sarcasm)

-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. (oh gosh, yes)

-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. (it's a little stressful to have a movie I really love that I'm showing to other people for the first time, and I'm constantly wondering, "Will they like it? Will they hate it? If they hate it, are they going to think I'm a freak because I love it?")

-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? (actually, I can fold fitted sheets...mwahaha)

-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than
take 2 trips to bring my groceries in. (true)

- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear
your computer history if you die. (I have nothing to hide)

-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to
finish a text. (eeeeeeviiiilllll...don't text and drive, people)

- LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say". (ohmygosh, that is SO TRUE)

- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. (that's a problem sometimes...)

- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying. (or just a plain old multiple choice test...does tend to drive me crazy and make me look over what I've answered)

- 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". (HAHAHA!!!)

- 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 usually try to limit it to two)

- 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 was trying to come up with some sort of comparison today and drew a total blank. This is very true)

-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other? (that would be HILARIOUS!)

- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
i 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. (always bugs me)

- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the
person died. (honestly, I'm glad I'm not the only one morbid enough to think this)

- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water. (there ARE?! FREAKS!!!)

-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever. (shirts and underwear - one day each. Pants? Three to four days each, minimum. Heck yeah)

-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. (actually, my six weeks off during the summer was probably it...)

- Bad decisions make good stories (true)

-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! (extremely true)

- Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year? (high schoolers get younger and younger every year...no, I was NEVER that young and stupid)

-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring
would probably just be completely invisible. (oh yeah...)

-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.... (exactly! I always get nervous...and there's no reason to)

-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. (happens to me every Friday)

-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't
want to have to restart my collection. (please!)

-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. (very, very true)

-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. (oh yeah...that's a second of sheer terror)

- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever. (because seriously, who can afford the dry cleaning? Or the time to handwash?)

-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?' (see comment on the movie)

-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? (*coughMOMcough*)

- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not
seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. (and it never fails...the better I look, the less likely I will see anyone I want to impress, but on the days when I didn't get enough sleep, so I've thrown my hair up into a rough ponytail, thrown on jeans I've worn for the last four days, and grab the first T-shirt I put a hand on [which is inevitably stained] I'll run right into whoever I was trying to impress before)

-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. (well, a new anyone...)

-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. (true that)

-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. (nope...but I screen calls)

-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it. (but the Internet could tell me)

-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? (the world would end)

-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 never go to CNN.com...but I hate it when I want to read something and there's a video)

-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they
drive behind obeys the speed limit. (haha!)

-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
