Whenever I'm not doing anything at work I could care less what everyone else is doing, but as soon as I'm busy, and everyone around me is doing nothing, you can bet your ass I'm pissed.

Not taking your lunch hour during the regular 12-1 spot, and saving it till the last hour of work should be totally acceptable.

What time do people do all their graffiti? Because honestly, who has ever seen anyone actually making those crazy bubble letters up on a bridge?

"Who else could it have been?" Ok, just because we're in the same house doesn't mean I'm immune to you sneaking behind me while I'm washing the dishes, not paying attention. Who else could it have been? Well it could have been a robber, jackass.

It's probably best that I don't have a fancy car because I'd end up with millions of dollars in tickets playing the "my car is better/faster than yours so I should be passing you" game on the highway.

Why do they bother to put up the "opposing traffic has longer green" signs? I feel jealous, sad and also that they're just gloating.

My coworkers should know well enough that if I actually start to do some form of work, and they're talking to me, that it means I really don't want to talk to them.

I could never be a model. Not just because I'm not rail thin, but because my serious face does not photograph well and I just end up looking like a complete idiot.

Shops online that don't have a physical store annoy the shit outta me. Although, they're pretty damn smart. They know full well that people like me won't return something I've bought online if I don't like it or it doesn't fit.

Why does it seem that everyone one generation behind ours is perfectly physically fit? It really makes it impossible to go to the beach and not feel a tiny bit self conscious. Ironically, I still have no desire to work out.

I wish when I was hired, my boss told me that I had to be in at 8:15, even though I don't have to be in until 8:30. They made the mistake of telling me 8:30, so now I'm always late.

I really wish that when someone said, "hold down the fort", that really meant that somewhere in my office, there was a fort, and I needed to protect it while everyone was gone.

It really bothers me when I get a bagel from Dunkins and they cover the center hole with cream cheese. Totally throws off the bagel to cream cheese ratio when I bite that spot.

I recently went to a restaurant and looked at the drink menu to find a beer named Hoptamus Prime. Well played bartender, I will now order this very expensive beer just because I want to say, "yeah I'll have the Hoptamus Prime please."

2 Rockstars, a Red Bull and 3 very large cups of coffee later and I'm still nodding off in my chair at work. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure I'm immune to caffeine's effects, and will cry now.

I hate when the person you're talking to doesn't know the song you're describing, so you have to do the awkward, "sing the chorus" deal...I get so self conscious. Do you sing the words or hum? Belt it out? I'm embarrassed.

That's very true, friends who still live at home. I would in fact be able to buy a brand new car like you did, if I wasn't paying for groceries, utilities and rent. Thank you for pointing that painstakingly obvious fact out...

So, chances are, if you're obliterated, you're belligerent. I think we should just go ahead and combine some of our favorite drunk adjectives and make obllidgerated a word. Cut out the middle man.

Oh really landlord? You were on vacation? Well considering that it's now the middle of the month and I have to pay rent again and you haven't cashed my last months rent because of your "vacation" I'm going to assume you're just trying to piss me off.

why would you ever eat plain Special K when there's red berries, almonds or chocolate now paired with the cereal? And if you actually slice or put something on the plain Special K, I don't even know what to say.

I love that there's always someone to compare to, where you can look over at a friend and say, "if I end up like that, I give you permission to shoot me in the face". Plus, if they're a good friend, you know they'll pull through for you.

I hate that if you get sunburned only on your arms, and you go to shower, you need to find the perfect lukewarm temperature to be able to keep your whole body in water. The rest of my body is freezing but if I make the water any hotter, my arms will feel like they're being dipped in lava.

Having a blackberry and syncing it to your email is helpful, but also deceiving and disappointing. I wake up in the morning to what I think are 5 new text messages, and they always just end up being Victoria's Secret emails and NY Times news alerts...damnit.

why is it that "getting ready for work in the early morning" time is SO much faster than "sitting at your desk mid afternoon waiting for lunch" time? I do a million things at work and look at the clock and 5 minutes have gone by...but at 7:30 AM I brush my teeth, spit, and look up at the clock and its 8:00?? Awesome.

I work part time at build-a-bear, and the other day, a mom got really mad because her son who was getting a zebra couldn't get a sound because we didn't have a "Zebra sound". I told her I wasn't even sure what sound a Zebra made, and she just replied with "well you have a cat sound and a dog sound"...I had NO idea what to say except for that she could record her own sound if she wanted.

I hate when you go to the drive thru, and the people taking your order just assume you're only ordering one thing. You say your first thing and they say "thank you please drive up" and you have to awkwardly ask, "can I also get something else??" Did they recently make a 1 item limit on drive thru orders?

How is it that tampon and pad companies keep coming up with "new" technology? There's really not much more that you guys can do to make this whole "we bleed for 7 days" thing any cooler or at all exciting. Oooooh this tampon has a new slender plastic applicator but provides the same protection?! I can't wait to get my period now!

I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that if I ask "how ya feeling?" just making small talk because I know you had been sick and you don't just answer with something plain like, "ehh so-so" and instead you answer with "still have diarrhea", I won't know what to do or how to respond...

Whenever I choose to wear a pair of Grey Victoria's Secret "Pink" logo pants, there's always that one person who says "Pink?? but your sweatpants are Grey!" as if I'd look down in disbelief and thank them for pointing it out...."shit, I really gotta stop mis-labeling my pants"

A conversation between a coworker and my boss...Coworker: "Hey, are we going to be putting this on the site?"...Boss: "Yeah, but I couldn't get it up last night." Now, why is it that I am the only one in the office who laughed at this?

I live in the city of Providence in a 3 story apartment building. The people who live below me, who I can only assume go out a lot, have one of those little dogs that constantly whines and yips (not barks.)...now I've never seen the damn thing, I only hear it and all I want to do is punt it.

One night my parents, my grandma and I went out to dinner and we decided to get Calamari. When the nice young waiter came to take our order, my grandma decided to take over and stated that "We want the Calamari, but we don't want any of the testicles." While she may have meant TENTACLES, bless our waiter...that goddamn Calamari was testicle free.

Everyone knows that if you have a cell phone you have an address book, and if we're friends, and I'm calling you, you probably have my name in your address book, so when I call you and you say "hello?" like you have no idea who it is, I question your intelligence.

I absolutely despise people who eat whatever they want, whenever they want, never ever gaining weight and then constantly say they're "SO fat". If you're the size of my left leg, I don't want to hear it.
