So as I said, these were later found out to have been lifted from Ruminations.com.

I've since joined and now "Ruminate" myself. (shameless plug) if anyone wants to join up and "follow" my ruminations, I'm at Browster (because i need 6 characters and didn't care about my username)

That’s enough, Nickelback.

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

Was learning cursive really necessary?

“LOL” has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say.”

I would like to officially coin the phrase ‘catching the swine flu’ to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight person. Example: “Pat caught the swine flu last night.”

Bad decisions make good stories

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….

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

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.

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.

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.

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?

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

Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn’t know what do to with it.

Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, 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, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time.

It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

This was really funny, all these apply to me I'd say. Even though I'm a bit younger than the intended audience I'm sure. Particularly the work one - that moment for me was about an hour and a half after I got here this morning.

As for the music thing, I try and find music that whoever I'm with enjoys but could not care less whether or not they like my taste in music. I too have a no changing the music in my car rule. My friend once interrupted Little Wing to instead put in his cd, some **** by Korn

Cool, I always thought elementary school teachers are creepy for some reason. No disrespect intended, but if my current career plans fall through, I would definitely go back to college and get my masters for teaching. My dad works as a business manager in a public school district so I always hear about educational issues and whatnot.

So bloody many of these apply to me it's not even funny, I love stuff like that. The favourite movie one, hell yeah.

I'm not trying to drive home a point or anything...

I think I loved this one the most.

True, but on the other hand it's great to be able to see that moment in the eyes of the person you are arguing with.

I encountered this just a few weeks ago. The answer is 2 and if its a particularly noisy place then maybe 3.

This one made me laugh.

I think these people account for about 50% of the numbers in my phone now.
