2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

The secret is not to start the argument until you check to make you're sure you're right.

5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

You create a generally square lump and stuff it in the closet. It's not like we're graded on this. In fact, since I usually wash sheets and replace them, I don't remember the last time I folded one. I am impressed at how compact they're folded when you buy them, though. I suspect they use hydraulics.

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

It was before everyone had access to keyboards. I often tell people the most useful thing I learned in high school was touch-typing.

7. Google Maps really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

You can switch that off.

13. 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 technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

Save old drafts and use "Review/Compare" to track changes. When your brain is turning to cheese, exploit the silicon one.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

Side by side fridge. My freezer has one.

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

The secret to keeping traffic moving is to help the flow out. Make room when you can. Let those who have never had to make a last-second lane change to hit an unexpected exit cast the first stone.

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys n a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey. But I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed…first time, every time.

I've got about fifteen buttons next to my bed for clocks, lights, bed angle, phone, radio, and a few other things. I can find them all almost immediately. The bitch is getting awake enough to figure out what's making the noise. I've turned off my alarm when my phone rang more than once.
