I’m on vacation = I’m in a really good mood. Further, as has been discussed in emails between site authors, I have not been following the news that much = in a really good mood. Strange??
But to keep with the theme of blurtdaily, I’d like to do some complaining…
1. I hate it when my laziness beats out my hunger.
2. Cell phones ruined pushing people in the pool.
3. Every phone should have the same charger.
4. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs?
5. 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.
6. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in
7. I hate when I plan out a conversation with someone in my head and they don’t follow the script.
8. Why did it take you so long to answer the door? No, I didn’t knock, I texted that I was here.
9. I hate when I think of something really great to say during a conversation but by the time I get a chance to speak, we’re on a different topic. Do I let it pass and keep the good thought to myself, or do I awkwardly bring up the old topic again?
These come from a great site called www.ruminations.com which is filled with other gems such as:
1. Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
2. I think my other three stove burners are becoming jealous of front-right.
3. 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”.
4. What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
Hope you enjoy and my “complaining” hasn’t ruined your day.

I think all cell phones should have the same charger as well……great idea….you should create that! Instead of saying what you hate…..how about what you like/love??
Oh man, that “book smart vs. street smart” quip is so right on. That always bugs me so bad!! Being dumb in a classroom setting automatically makes you a genius outside of the classroom? There is absolutely no correlation. People will point to millionaire entrepreneurs who failed high school. But they’re the exception to the population of high school dropouts.
Number 9 is also really frustrating. Nobody wants to go back to a topic that has been put behind in a conversation.
I like the ruminations. Were those all from the site? Or just the last 4?
