ahh, and i'm on a roll
Usually I stay away from memes and email forwards, but I saw this on a website and I am in awe at how completely accurate it is. I've bolded everything I've thought or done--whoever wrote this was a genius of real life.
23 Adult Truths.
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. (Sort of? I've asked a friend to clear out... things. Very urgently. I told them to lie to my parents to get in my room if they had to!)
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. (And the moment you have to grit your teeth, smile, and admit it! It gets so much easier with time.)
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 Blu-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. (This is agonizing at work, because it's usually Excel and I'm so crap at Excel.)
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
19. 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?
20. 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!
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
And finally...
23. 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 everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time. (And that would be why sensible people, such as myself, place their alarm clocks across the room so you have to open your eyes to get to it. Genius!)
I feel slightly ashamed of the pants thing. I mean, they get dirty eventually, but it takes a really long time.
And all the ones I didn't highlight? Now that they have been pointed out to me, I completely agree.
