1.  A best friend's job should be to clear your computer history if you die.

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

3.  There is a great need for a sarcasm font.

4.  SatNav should start their directions on #5, I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my own neighbourhood.

5.  How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

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

7.  Bad decisions make good stories.

8.  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.

9.  Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVD's, I don't want to have to start my collection again.

10. 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 didn't make any changes to.

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

12. I hate it when I 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?

13. I hate leaving my house confident of looking good, and then not seeing anyone of importance for the rest of the day.  What a waste.

14. I keep some people's 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 wish Google Maps had an "Avoid ghettos" routing option.

17. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and realise I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

18. I would rather try to carry 10 overloaded plastic carrier bags in each hand than take two trips to bring my shopping in.

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

20. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear a word they said.

21. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk cutting in at the front.  Stay strong!

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

23. Is it just me or do school kids get dumber each year?

24. 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.

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

26. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in their pocket, finding their mobile, and pinning the tail on the donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the 'Snooze' button from 3 feet away, eyes closed, first time, every time!

Must admit I can agree with a lot of these, but no 22. What are pants if not underwear? Or is it a translation for our transatlantic cousins?

In which case.

27. People who spell like Americans, who are not Americans should be beaten with a copy of Whinny the Pooh until bored/hungery :D :P

No 24 should read "there's no worse feeling than when you wake with a start to find the central reservation of the M5 coming towards you." I can vouch for that one. :o
