Decided not to put this in the humor section because most soompiers would have no idea or can't relate.
Our generation summed up in an email I received from a co-worker... how sad.

This is a "Deep Thoughts" for our generation.

WARNING, you will lol and look ridiculous.

-I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

-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.

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

-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?

-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized 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.

-That's enough, Nickelback.

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

-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?

-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 in America 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.

-There is a great need for sarcasm font.

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

-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.

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

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

- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear
your computer history if you die.

-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to
finish a text.

- A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the
spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.

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

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

- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying.

- Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart",
all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

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

- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up
to prevent a ---- from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in'
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and
said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

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

- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.

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

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

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

- 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 woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."

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

- Bad decisions make good stories

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

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

-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 aren't doing 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.

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

-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?'

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

-When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she
hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light
internet stalking.

-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle,
then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers,
but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

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

-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

-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 --- everyone can find and push the Snooze
button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time
every time...

-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would
happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

-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.

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

-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or
Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

-The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw
they had included four sets of plastic silverware. 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

HAHAAHAHHAHA

I loved this!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man. At first I thought these were all things that YOU wrote and I got to the bottom about the kid asking the dad something I was like "WHAT?! He has a kid?!" hahah. So I had to scroll back up and reread the intro.

But yesss this was hilarious and although i'm not 25-30, i've thought these things many many times. Man do I really miss naptimes though. T~T

haha no not me, but so much of it is true in my life

My co-worker sent me this because I messaged him with a :
well that's it. Today's just another one of those days where I don't feel like being productive


I completely identified with it today. haha

Hahaha! Thanks for this, it really made me giggle.. and it made my day

ROFL some of them are so true. Small little things in life that are always left unsaid. You're right, it made me chuckle at work a bit. TGIF so nobody really pays attention here at the office

Haha I'm not in the age range, but I really relate to a lot of these! And they are all hilarious. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this! So many I relate to.
But I giggled over this for a couple minutes:

Hahaha. I swear, as horrible as this sounds, i'm like this almost everyday. Probably cause I can get away with it though. :x Kinda like how I come late to work EVERY MORNING. Lol...


Rofl. Reminds me of everytime we go to Los Feliz to get to Costco (I forget which freeway..). There's always a huge line and literally all these Tom Cruise will drive straight to the front and just stop there to cut in and it creates a bunch of traffic.

I thought my sister and I were the only who did that! Didn't know that everyone did the same...
Darn I thought I was smart...

^I don't even remember how we knew to do that! I just remember doing it to the Duck shooting game/Super Mario Bros.

A lot of these I can definitely relate to though I'm a couple years short of 25.

lulz. Gotta love that.

Haha, I used to do that as well, along with my friends. I read online that blowing on it was actually bad for the cartridge because it creates moisture on the board.

Great list.

I'm not 25-35 but I really identified with this:
-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first
saw it.

That totally happened when I saw Forrest Gump and the mom sleeps with his principal so that he could go to school with normal kids. I had no idea what was going on when I saw it the first time X_X

I could really relate to a lot of things on here but this one stood out for me



It's not like people are gonna care but I usually turn a corner and walk around instead of going back. XD

Ooh I have some to add to your list....

How come the itty bitty bite sized candy bars samplers are called the "fun size"? There is really nothing fun about it except after you eat the sampler you want to eat the granddaddy big one...ANd then you get irritated that you get a fixation on chocolate, nugit and caramel throughout the whole day...

Whenever I see the Credit Report dot com jingle band on the telly, I just want to remove them out of their familiar atmosphere and see how they can adapt to a new commercial and jingle....Like put them in that commercial with the scary Burger King Mascot! Will they sing a jingle about how scary the Burger King King is, will they try to remove that big gigantic head to see if it really is full of Burger King Dreams or maybe just kill each other with a staring contest...And we all know who would really win!

ditto. like sooo many times.

Thats so true but sometimes blowing the cartridge never worked so I remember blowing inside the NES (where you insert the cartridge) and it finally solved the problem lol

Oh I did that too!!!

Ok, now I'm convinced that everybody did that!!! So how come we all knew?? There was no internet back then...

bwahahaha that's so hilarious and so true!!!! thanks for sharing dude

I read the 100 things that you're Asian a few years back and thought a bunch of those were true, but the accuracy here is so much better. Saving and forwarding...

Some lady once tried to cut in front of my friend and I at a McDonald's drive-thru. Not even sure how she planned to pull that off actually.

haha i totally agree with the Nintendo game cartridge part! ahh, i miss playing b&w Mario Brothers
thanks for sharing!

Electronic Gaming Monthly

hahahahha that's like 99% me xD

and i'm not 25-30 xD
that was really funny thanks xD

haha, you've so just posted my current life story right there!! That made my day (which pretty much had reached the, "I'm not doing anything else productive today" point.)

No it's more like, I hate when you call, I pick up the last ring, but you're hanging up and didn't want to leave a voicemail, but heard me last minute. So I call you back, but you're calling me back and for 5 minutes we play phone tag to get each other on the phone 'til someone decides to stop and just wait for a call back...

I was so thinking that the other day!!
And my freezer actually does have a light hehe...

Better yet, who figured out that you had to shove another cartridge on top of the other sometimes to get it to work...seriously, I want to know how this evolved!

Ok, I never read that magazine... I found out the blowing thing myself, which means...I ám smart!!

How to get the NES to work:

1) Blow into the cartridge
2) Blow into the console
3) take bits of paper/swab/anything you can find and slide it across the cartridge prongs to clean it
4) stick the cartridge in the freezer for a few minutes (amazingly it works!)
5) Jam the black sleeve or another cartridge in to hold the game in place
6) Have younger sibling hold console/catridge in the perfect spot while you play

Now that I think about it, those NES cartridges were built like a tank, even though they didn't work half the time.
Imagine doing some of these things to a PS3, XBOX360, or WII. hahaha
Also, I never understood why the NES cartidges were so difficult to work, when the Genesis and SNES worked almost flawlessly every time. ???

How did we learn these techniques? Simple.. trial and error. I feel like younger generations these days are too afraid to take risks and accept that the best learning comes from failure... But enough psycho-babble

^ LOL I still have a SNES and I have to blow in the cartridges and system sometimes. Better yet, when I have to keep turning the console on and off till I get the logo.

Got another one for the list
-What happened to less is more? Why do video game controllers have so many buttons? Remember how fun the atari was? NES? A start/pause, select, A, B & a D-pad was all we needed. It seems like they add a new button every year! A, B, X, Y, Z, L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3, D-Pad, Start/Pause, Select, L-joystick, R-joystick....

^ hahaha that's so true!! you even have different controllers now

As the Geico Gecko would say: "These aren’t fun facts; these are (financially) sound facts. We’ve been duped!"

That was seriously bomb. haha. Best stuff I've read on here in a long time! haha

that is hilarious and profound all the same

I think reading this list was the highlight of my day. Sad? Maybe. Funny stuff though.


"I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired."- Seriously. lol. The pain of getting old....

" LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say"."- Or it can mean, "Since I don't really want to type out what I really think about what you just wrote, I'll just be a good sport and pretend you're funny." keke

"There is a great need for sarcasm font."- I think italics should become the universal sarcasm font.

this is one of the few LONG posts that i've read, and i didn't even take a break in reading the whole thing.

i am 25 years old, and damn i can relate to almost ALL of the things posted. i have been laughing me head off here LOL

and i admit -> i did blow my family computer cartriges if the game wouldn't work

Haha ... thanks for making me look like an idiot at work.lmao This is ssoooo me

Some made me literally go HAHA outloud.

LOL, oh my gosh, these were so funny! I can totally relate to most of them...thanks for posting this! *off to share with others* xD

O_O this is so spot on its crazyyy

True story, and may I add that you always run into those people on days where you look like something that got caught in a drain.

Agreed. I hate when that happens.



Uhm... I really hate bikers. Can you just get the john tesh out of my lane and use the bike lane? And please start following stop signs and traffic signals or you might hit my car and make a dent. kthnx.

I'm a huge fan of biking (got the biker shorts, shirt, and helmet) and we have every right to be on the road as you all! For those who haven't tried biking downtown with the cars, it's a complete thrill! Plus... us bikers love to get a rise out of you motorists

and yet your reply is making 100% sense... Jamie...

LOL. I know a lot of guys with fixies and like to bike around. But, gosh, really, if there's a bike lane, use it. It's irritating when I need to make a right turn and there's a bike in my way. A lot of bikers disregard traffic signals and what not and just feel like they can do w/e they want cause they're on a bike. I like biking at the beach, granted that I must use a tricycle since I don't know how to ride a bike!! D:

Jamie? o_O lol wut?

i''m not 25-35 but almost there (turning 24 in a month) and i can relate to so many of these that i'm too lazy to quote and bold them. it's like... my life, pretty much, and some of them are just damn clever insights i 100% agree on but never thought of before.

I was trying to find this before when I first read it as was funny and yes I can relate to trying to carry all the bags of shopping from the car to the house so I don't have to go back and get more!

I quite like "How you remind me" I'm gonna go listen to it again now!


- all the time!


- cracks me up each time!


- F as in F for Friday


- all the time especially at those dumb workshops cheesey ice breakers


- is called uh-oh here we go or ah crap!


- I used to think just because I didn't answer immediately doesn't mean we have to play the cat & mouse game


- and then when you're feeling a little under presented or you feel under the weather, you meet or run into someone and you wished you looked better!


- done all the time out of habit especially if waiting for something


- I do this they're annoying, no block on my mobile yet


- one of my pet peeves especially when out of habit I just click the link and only realise it's going to video as soon as I've clicked it

thank you Hyuni meant to come back and say thank you!
