Seen This?

RE: No. 8, I definitely agree. No. 5: I've got that one handled.

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 heck 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 research paper
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? Dang 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 plastic grocery 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. (OK, I don't recommend that)

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 cyclists.

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 butt everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time

Some of these are just great, like #31. It's good to hear it said by someone else, so I don't have to believe I'm just brain damaged. And #10 is a good motto for fiction writers.

My favorite is the one about the line of cars, no. 26

to fold a fitted sheet.Turn it inside out and corner to corner you can work this out.It will not be perfect but I am sure that you can worked this out.
For me this is what I do and no problems.
comment by fredo on June 19, 2010 2:25 PM ()
I think I have tried everything Fredo. Fitted sheets hate me.

"4. There is great need for a sarcasm font."

Hahaha...wouldn't that be nice! l
comment by benjaminwright on June 19, 2010 12:37 PM ()
Some day when things are slow around here, I am going to look at some fonts and pick one that looks like sarcasm.
reply by troutbend on June 19, 2010 1:47 PM ()
The clean sheet feeling is tremendous so I change them often but I don't
fold them. It currently takes 2 flat sheets plus the fitted one at our house because we have to put a sheet over the quilt to catch whatever dirt Rex might get on it when he decides to jump in bed with us.
comment by elderjane on June 19, 2010 10:01 AM ()
Yes, I am using an older flat sheet on top of our new comforter which is so elegant and it keeps the cat hair at bay. I tell myself I'll take it off when company comes, but we just close the bedroom door.

You're right there with what the nicer hotels are doing; they encase the blankets in two top sheets. I haven't tried this yet.
reply by troutbend on June 19, 2010 1:48 PM ()
I can't fold a fitted sheet - how is that even possible?? Share your secret and make milllllllions!
I am very guily of numbers:
4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 14, 17, 20, 21, 22 FOR SURE! haha and 23, 25, 29, 30, and 31.
Essentially I like them all.
comment by kristilyn3 on June 18, 2010 12:49 PM ()
Fitted Sheets: Nest the corners together, two of them, then all four. Then make a rectangle of the sheet with corners tidied in one quadrant and neatly fold the rest of the sheet. Look at this web page: https://www.themomsbuzz.com/moms_buzz/2008/04/fitted-sheet.html They say to put it on a table, but you can do it standing up.

No. 2, I don't know this feeling. 6. Yes. It's faster if you don't have electronics. Also the kids not only don't know cursive, their printing sucks. 16. Doing a great job of putting yourself together every time is like a constant primer for a bigger moment. Ed can't understand this. 27. Pants do, however, get baggy if not laundered or dry-cleaned. 32. When I leave the car I clip my car key to my bra strap and tuck it down my T shirt. Finding the car, however, is another matter.
comment by tealstar on June 18, 2010 10:07 AM ()
These were a lot of fun to think about.
reply by troutbend on June 19, 2010 1:54 PM ()
White flowers shouldn't fade. Just once in your lifetime I will bet that you must have been wrong. I have had that No. 2 feeling myself.
reply by elderjane on June 19, 2010 9:57 AM ()
No.12.Now they are coming out with 3D on blue and TV.
For me enough is enough.Why can people just enjoyed movies in HD and Blu Ray.Do not care for 3 D.But it is coming.
comment by fredo on June 18, 2010 9:40 AM ()
The other day I heard someone ask if 3-D is going to last, and all I could think about was how it was first introduced in the 1950s, re-introduced in the 1980s and 90s, and now once again. Maybe the technology is advancing enough that one of these times it will stay around. But I'm not holding my breath.

#5 I just wash it and put it back on the bed. When it wears out I buy another one.
Just the other day DH wanted to have the spare sheets on the bed, for a change. I told him I'd put the spare sheets on the bed but he'd have to fold the ones in the dryer. The spare sheets are still neatly folded in the cupboard.
comment by nittineedles on June 18, 2010 9:22 AM ()
I do that too, it's so much easier than folding and putting away.
reply by troutbend on June 21, 2010 4:15 PM ()
There's another reason to keep using the same sheets instead of folding and switching to the spare sheets -- the fresh laundry aroma from sheets just out of the dryer is Heavenly.
