Random thoughts from people 20-35 years old

Cow_160483 · Aug 31, 2009, 06:28 AM

1) More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can
think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell
my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves
me.

2) Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realise you're wrong.

3) I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink
to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
sticks when they've invented the lighter?

4) Have you ever been walking down the street and realised that you're
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to
be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like
check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to
yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're
crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

5) I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

6) Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may
know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately
choose not to be friends with?

7) Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it
wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would
magically fix the problem. Every kid did that, but how did we all know
how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or
FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.

8) There is a great need for sarcasm font.

9) Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realise I had no idea what the f*** was going on when I first
saw it.

10) I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually
becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting
90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's
laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little
bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the
only one who really, really gets it.

11) How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

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

13) LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

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

15) How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just
nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

16) While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Brothers - Kart.

17) Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how
the person died.

18) I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water.

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

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

21) Bad decisions make good stories.

22) Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their
profile is public, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning that just
got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't
mind if I do!

23) Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?

24) Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to
go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so
incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this
shouldn't be a problem …

25) You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at
work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything
productive for the rest of the day.

26) 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.

27) I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people
watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will
they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't
watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and
leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

28) I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and
goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone
and run away?

29) I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not
seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

30) When I meet a new girl/guy I'm terrified of mentioning something that
hasn't already been told to me but that I have learned from some light
internet stalking.

31) Why is a school zone 25 km/h? That seems like the optimal cruising
speed for paedophiles...

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

33) I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone
they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

34) I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

35) The other night I ordered take away and when I looked in the bag,
saw they had included four sets of plastic cutlery. In other words,
someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think
about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people
eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by
myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard
before dinner.

When you hit 50+ suddenly 20-35 year olds become kids........ scary!

Cow_160483 · Aug 31, 2009, 12:56 PM

that's coz you are old Ty...

Tyrsonswood · Aug 31, 2009, 01:25 PM

Yup

BlueMak · Aug 31, 2009, 01:32 PM

Very nice list, I agree with most of them. Scary.

~~RE III - Frankie~~ · Aug 31, 2009, 01:59 PM

That was really good Cow man! lmao some of those were so funny. I swear I always liked you. lol

Here's one: Guys who had sister's about their age when they were younger will get it (maybe):

Did you ever notice that if you randomly call your sister a name they started to act that way just to piss you off. I really didn't like that. I used to really hack into my sister with verbal abuse and she used to chase me around beating me with sticks. One time she kicked me in the groin. Ah the "good" ole" dayos.

Cow_160483 · Aug 31, 2009, 03:18 PM

i would never call getting kicked in the groin good

lol

~~RE III - Frankie~~ · Aug 31, 2009, 03:22 PM

Yeah I was on the floor in pain too. She didn't even get in trouble even though I'm sure my mom assured me she would be fried and crucified!!

mkk · Aug 31, 2009, 07:14 PM

Gotta be one of the better lists in existence.

Jac · Aug 31, 2009, 10:08 PM

Funneh and true.....

Falstaff · Aug 31, 2009, 10:31 PM

indeed...I could add a few more, there should be a whole chapter devoted to ex wives.

Tyrsonswood · Aug 31, 2009, 11:20 PM

Ex wives..... by 20 years old?

Definitely doing something wrong there

Callandor · Sep 1, 2009, 01:01 AM

Nice one cow.

niceguyrichy · Sep 1, 2009, 06:02 AM

both my freezers have lights...

Cow_160483 · Sep 1, 2009, 06:41 AM

Oddly enough most freezers dont have lights

skylineaddict · Sep 3, 2009, 04:55 PM

I'm 18, but many, if not all those things, occurred to me at least once.

***craig5320*** · Sep 3, 2009, 05:04 PM

Haha very nice list.

Senor_Mota · Sep 3, 2009, 09:56 PM

Eating a canneloni dinner in Milan - $249
Choking an Asian prostitute - $174
Paying for your wife's dental surgery - $1292

The feeling of giddiness I got from reading this post - PRICELESS

OmegaRED · Sep 4, 2009, 09:46 AM

That was awesome, some of them were so dead on I felt like my privacy had been violated and my innermost thoughts posted on the internet for people to laugh at

I guess the older we get the more alike we think and act. Kinda depressing actually.

Jac · Sep 4, 2009, 10:20 AM

I've done the walking the wrong way down the street thing recently. I realised and thought 'balls - I'll walk to the end of the street, then cross over and walk back as if it was the plan all along....

Then I thought - "No. I will stop dead in my tracks and do a 180 and swivel to all those who think I'm some kind of mentalist"

Earthmonger · Sep 6, 2009, 07:19 PM

I can't imagine what sort of music my 7 month-old daughter is going to listen to in her teens. Kids are supposed to listen to more and more intense music with every generation. But Hell, I just can't imagine anything more extreme than the music I myself listen to these days. It just doesn't seem possible to go any further.

It will probably sound like the Zen music from Children of Men.

jimmy154 · Dec 7, 2009, 01:14 AM

36) I hate searching forums for the answer to a technical question, then finding that people have written only bullshit. After that I say to myself, fuck it lets just see if I can find something interesting to read among the bullshit. Then my wife comes over and turns off the computer cause she says I'm an asshole and then like a fucking complete tool I turn it back on again and search for the same goofy thread I did not want to find in the beginning, so I can finish reading it and then write a meaningless response.

SeraphicSorcerer · Dec 7, 2009, 01:54 AM

that's why they call it the interwebs.

This thread's epic. You should write a column cow.

GrrlGamer · Dec 7, 2009, 04:04 AM

Nice post, this thread is hilarious
