Totally Ripped-Off Post

I stole this from my s-i-l and have added in my own little comments.  Enjoy!


1. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you're wrong.  **We have some friends who are hilarious. He says
 that whenever that particular situation arises with them, he doesn't 
hear "I'm Sorry" so much as "Never Mind".


2. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your 
computer history if you die.   **And update your facebook status and remove
any incriminating photos and tell all your blog friends.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
**I married into a family of nappers.  These people are HUGE on taking naps.
It has taken me a while to learn and appreciate the value of just resting for a bit 
during the day.


4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.


5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
**Actually, I can fold and iron fitted sheets.  I like them that way!  Jealous?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary? 
**Yes it was.  And so is writing a real letter
with pen and paper.

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty
 sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.   
**Map Quest sucks. I use Google Maps exclusively. 


8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how 
the person died.
**You should know how I feel about that already. 
 But yes, Hear Hear!! on cause of death.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories. 
**Any time you hear "Hey!  Y'all watch this!" 
you need to get your camera ready.

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 technical report that I swear I did not make
 any changes to.  
**My OCD self will have to double and then triple check, I hate that!

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
 answer when they call.  **Sorry to say, I really do this.

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. Martinis in my case.
**This one has to be my favorite!

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. **Except at my house where we have 4 
cats and 3 dogs and plenty of loose hair.  You will need to at the very 
least lint-roll those pants occasionally!

22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not
 know what time it is.

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!
24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first
 helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize
 that their brain is also important.  **Now, THAT is funny!

  1. Well I am for seriously exploring the funding to develop #4!!
    For gosh sakes....this is an emergency NEED in my blogging life!
    I don't know how much time it would save me in a day not to have to wrack my brain for ways to denote my sarcastic thoughts within my blog.
    OK....so Hubs would say this isn't a need so much since everything I write is sarcasm.... ;-)

  2. I used to work at a newspaper, in the obituary department (among other things), and was always thrilled when they told how someone died.

    But more often than not, it was just some crap about what a wonderful person they were and where the service would be held.

  3. Hi Sarah, If you will check around on my blog you will see that I semi-regularly post about reading the obits on Sundays. It's kind of a hobby of mine. : ) Thanks for coming by!

  4. #4--No, I am not jealous of that useless skill. I learned a good wadding up works well with a folded sheet.
    #11--That is why I have a backup plan for useless days.
    #13--ditto...frightening to exit Word somedays.
    #15--My freezer does have a light.
    #22--I thought I was the only one who could not remember the time for 3 seconds!
    #24--Little brain responds faster! Hilarious!
