23 Adult Truths...

Feel free to add more of your own....

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

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 technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

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 Light 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.

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

22. 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.

23. 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.

    my favorite 2...especially 20. I'm definitely an angry driver when someone else tries some **** to get in front of me or a line of cars...

    My best friend's mom showed me twice, and I still can't get them flat.

    #1 is totally me! I do the same thing reading a book. I'll read the same paragraph twice and still not remember what I read. And the answer to #19 is twice. Any more than that, they get mad and say "never mind".

    These are great, Kells!

    24. If I just eat several bites of cake out of the pan the calories don't really count as if I had an actual "piece".

    What is the secret? I think I have done it only once and it was totally on accident..

    Sad, but this is my life as well. I'll look at my phone for the time several times in a row and somewhere between the thought, "what time is it" and the action of reaching in my pocket and turning the screen on for the time, I get completely lost. And the same with books, drives me nuts cause it takes forever to read anything.

    25. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than make 2 two trips to the car.

    We have a right Lane/Left Lane merge right as I leave work. There is always some guy in the left lane that decides when enough people have merged from the right and straddles the lane to prevent more.

    Personally, I think if a person has a problem with it, they should take it of with DOT or Highway Department or whatever group designed it that way. I'm on a motorcycle, so I'm accelerating and coming around. I'm not asking permission when I signal; I'm indicating where I'm going. I just wave as I pass. I rarely use all my fingers, though.

    As an adult you lose your short term memory...

    Something that you thought was so important you have to google it right now, mysteriously is forgotten by the time you sit down in front of the computer.

    You forget why you entered a room

    You forget if you just washed your hair in the shower or not, so you do it again just in case

    Sometimes you get the shampoo in the hair but forget to rinse until your drying off and wonder why your hair is slimey

    You reheat something in the microwave only to find it 2 days later because you forgot

    You look at a coworker that you've worked with for years and can't put a name with the face to save your life

    You misdail your own phone number

    I'm mainly complaining about the people who cause miles long backups on road construction by not reading the sign 5 miles ago to merge because a lane is out ahead.

    Takes me forever to read anyway because I read in the bathroom, a few pages every time I pee. :smile: Sorry, I know it's not TMI Tuesday anymore!

    One that just happened to me, someone calls the office, they tell me their name and the company they're calling from, but they talk so much that by the time I'm ready to transfer the call I've completely forgotten their name and/or the company name. I need to start writing them down.

    I forgot a huge one. I only have one child, yet somehow I sometimes shout out 2 or 3 names before I get the right one!

    Is your name Rachel??? Except for misdialing my phone number, I've done all of that! I won't tell you how many times I've cooked a full chicken, put it back in the oven so the dogs couldn't get it, and gone to bed. One was left on top of the stove, blocked by my tea kettle to keep the dogs away. I walked right past it before I went to bed and completely spaced!

    Haha...my aunt showed me how to fold them when I was still a teenager, but I still get happy when I can get it perfectly flat...lol

    I finally just committed myself to figuring it out. . I spread the thing out on the floor (as much as it's possible to spread those f*&$%@! things out), then sat down and stared at it for about 15 minutes. . I formed a theory and after an hour I had it mastered. . It was one of the great triumphs of my post-marital life (along with retraining myself to leave the damn seat up! ha!).
