Random Things Everyone Experiences . . . But Never Talks About
Have you ever gone to pull open a kitchen drawer . . . only to realize that the potato masher is FIGHTING IT HARD from the inside? Of course you have . . . we all have . . . but we never talk about it. (???)
There's a new, relatable list of random things that everyone has experienced . . . but never talks about. (For obvious reasons.) Here are the highlights:
1. When you're in the backseat of a car that makes a sharp turn, and you push your fingers into the seat in front of you, to keep yourself from falling over.
2. When you're lying in bed, and you have to pee. You're both too tired to get out of bed to go to the bathroom . . . and your bladder is too full to fall asleep.
3. When you decide you don't need to make a list for a grocery run, but you get there, and just wander around for a while trying to figure out what you need.
4. When you briefly talked with someone at a party back in 2009 . . . and you've been Facebook friends ever since.
5. Whenever you think you have the perfect spot around a campfire, but the smoke keeps zeroing in on you.
6. When you walk into a room, but forget what you went in there to do, and you just stand there frozen, like a video that's buffering.
7. When you're too tired to pay attention to measurements or time, and later realize you've just made about 15 servings of the worst pasta you've ever had.
8. When you swallow some water weird, and it creates this really bad chest pain for a few minutes.
9. When you spend an entire day in "waiting mode," because you have an appointment at 2:00 P.M.
10. When you're calling someone and you hope that they DON'T pick up, just so the missed call can show up and it looks like you reached out.
11. When you dismantle a pen . . . only to put it back together again.
12. When you stare at a bad driver as you pass them . . . to see if they look as stupid as they drive.
