The Facts of Life

1. Part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your PC/browser history if you die.

2. Nothing is worse than the moment during an argument when you realise you're wrong.

3. Was learning cursive really necessary?

4. Google Maps need to start their directions at step 5; I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my own estate.

5. Bad decisions make good stories.

6. 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.

7. You're always slightly terrified when you close Word and it asks you if you want to save any changes to your 10-page technical document, even though you're sure you haven't made any changes.

8. Leaving the house feeling confident and like you're looking especially good, then not seeing anyone of importance for the entire day feels like a massive waste.

9. Sometimes, you will watch a film that you watched a million times as a youngster, and suddenly realise that you had no idea what the hell it was about when you used to watch it.

10. The only time you look forward to a red light is when you're trying to finish a text.

11. You enjoy the sense of camaraderie when and entire line of cars team up to prevent some dick from cutting in at the front. Especially if that person drives a BMW. Or a souped-up Citreon Saxo. And especially if it's at that joke of a feeder lane by New Look, just before you get to Sainsbury's.

12. Shirts get dirty. Pants get dirty. Socks get dirty. Trousers/jeans never get dirty. You can literally where them forever.

13. As a driver, you hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian you hate drivers. But no matter what the mode of transportation, you always hate cyclists.

14. Sometimes you will look at your watch/phone 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

Very impressive list and very true on all counts....I do however like number 11.... but may I add Audi drivers into the equation.... They're a feckin' nightmare, and I would just love to clip one off the motorway every now and then. Just to prove they aren't above everyone else!!!

see, that is audi's problem imo - they are a victim of their own success.. it used to be every dick you'd see on the motorway would be in a bimmer; audi was the respectable choice for comfort, class, and performance..

but then the dicks cottoned-on to this, and started buying audis.. so now, when you see a dick tearing it up the motorway, more often than not they're in an audi, not a bimmer..

such a shame, because audis are (for the most part) such beautifully engineered cars.. but, There's A Thread For That™ ;)

Brilliant db. My favourite being 6. 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.

And Tenshon is that knob at the Sainsburys feeder lane..not in an Audi tho.

It doesn't draw from the fact that when you buy one all the paperwork has 'VAG group' all over it, so technically it's a dick in a vag, and if you're as childish as me that's quite funny :P

I think it just struck. This Forum/ BBC Website/ Premierleague.com is often a catalyst to my downfall

11 it pisses me off that drivers do not understand queing and unwritten rules of the road. A lot of taxis cut in.
