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

9. Bad decisions make good stories.

10. 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.

11. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

12. 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.

13. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever.

14. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring. Hello? Hello? Damn 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?

15. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing any one of importance the entire day. What a waste.

16. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

17. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

18. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

20. 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.

21. I would rather try to carry 10 overloaded plastic bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

22. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

23. 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?

24. 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!

25. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

26. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber and dumber every year?

27. 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.

28. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists, the rules of the road don't apply to
them.

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

30. 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 a$$ everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

It takes me at least five tries to get out of the house. Beat back the pups...forgot bag. Beat back the pups...forgot flash drive. Beat back the pups...forgot nicotine replacement. Beat back the pups...forgot...and on it goes.

As far as my computer...I don't look at porn or Ashley Madison...nothing to hide from survivors
 
Good stuff! Am sharing!

Oh, I thought that I had clicked "post quick reply" but this is still here when using my browser back-button. Well, I got some more "senior stuff":

[h=1]Lessons From Aging[/h]As I get older, I realize I'm getting wiser. Some of the lessons I've learned over the years:
1. I talk to myself because sometimes I need expert advice.


2. Sometimes I roll my eyes out loud.
3. I don't need anger management; I need people to stop pissing me off.
4. My people skills are just fine; it's my tolerance of idiots that needs work.
5. The biggest lie I tell myself is, "I don't need to write that down; I'll remember it."
6. When I was a child, I thought nap time was punishment. Now it's like a mini vacation.
7. The day the world runs out of wine is just too terrible to think about.
8. Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound.
9. Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes and come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller?
10. At my age, "getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I went in there for.
 
Oh SB don't get me started about Cyclists,( no 28 on your post ) :eek::eek:our South Aust goverment introduced new laws regarding them in Oct 2015 ..
It really annoys me they pay nothing to use the roads ,we have to take risks by allowing them a "safe" distance even if puts us at risk of getting side swiped buy having to partly use another lane to pass them ( most roads in The city (Adelaide) are two lanes wide)
They are also now permitted to ride on footpaths, with no regard for any pedestrians, it been claimed some elderly have had their bags snatched by cyclists because they can just grab a bag and keep riding ....There is also fear they will run into pedestrians and just flee as there is no way identifying a cyclist if they injure anyone
Item below copied from SA goverment website ....

From 25 October 2015 drivers are required to give a minimum of one metre when passing a cyclist where the speed limit is 60 km/h or less or 1.5 metres where the speed limit is over 60 km/h.
Scan the road for cyclists.
Look for cyclists when turning or entering an intersection and give way as you would for any other vehicle.
Before opening your car door look behind and check blind spots for cyclists.
Do not drive, stop or park in a bicycle lane, you can cross a bicycle lane to turn left, enter private property or park in a parking lane.
Cyclists can legally ride two abreast - be patient as you approach and overtake only when safe.
Give cyclists plenty of room - a minimum of one metre clearance when overtaking.
