Thank you to the biggest of my younger brothers for turning me on to what I can only describe as “the funniest blog (meets web comic) about me written by someone I have never met and knows nothing about me.” (And not just because I, too, had a slow dog when I was a kid.) She made me laugh so hard I actually had tears streaming down my face.
Thank you MDM!
UPDATE: Case in point – The Alot is Better Than You at Everything
My FIL sent me an email this morning (as he’s been known to do). I don’t usually pass these types of emails along, but this one screamed my name and must be shared. I did some quick searching and can’t find its origin, otherwise I’d give mad props (yup – I said it) to the creator. I think that person might actually be the long lost twin I never had.
1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history when you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than the 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. MapQuest 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 wear this – ever.
15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?!), 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.
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.
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 get dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
28. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
29. 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’ll bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!
30. My check engine light has been on for three months now and nothing’s happened. I’m starting to think that my car is just an attention whore.
31. Sometimes I pretend not to remember details about people because having a good memory apparently equates to creepiness.
32. My GPS says “Estimated Arrival Time.” I see “Time to Beat.”
33. 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”.
34. My keyboard needs a removable crumb tray like my toaster.
35. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
36. I wish it were appropriate to say to a complete stranger, “Excuse me, would you like me to show you how to discipline your child?”
(And some things I already knew, but thought I should share.)
I’ve occasionally walked through my house investigating some noise or other lone task and thought to myself “If this were a horror movie, what would I be yelling at the TV?” I have also been known to then proceeded to follow my own advice. I like to think it’s saved me more times than I’ll ever know.
Now if only the rest of the world would listen to my shouts of invaluable advice, maybe life would be just a little easier for some people. Other people just need to succumb to natural selection for the good of the gene pool.
