Ten things everyone does but no one talks about.

July 21st 2008 01:50


1. Everyone has at one time in their life looked up song lyrics online or sat reading the lyrics off the album cover, and acted completely innocent when someone asked you 'how the hell do you know all the words?' You might have gotten away with that, IF the song hadn't been released only two days prior. Rookie error.


2. As soon as you're left alone, usually in a public place, you go for your phone. Nope it didn't make a noise and no you don't have any one to message, but you don't want people seeing you sitting alone. So you 'fool' them into thinking you have friends by using your phone.

3. Someone's having a geezer at his or her photos from the night before you have quick look through and then return the camera. The owner of the camera then says, 'how good did blah blah look?' You have no idea. Why is that you ask? Because you only checked yourself out. You went through the entire album and only really took any notice of how you looked. (Which was pretty damn fine I might add).

4. The number of times I've had out loud (sometimes aggressive) conversations with myself whilst driving is getting a little out of hand. I'll even have arguments with people and play their part as well as mine and find myself loosing the argument, and have to remind myself I am in control and that I should clearly be winning. I also have conversation with famous people. They've always got some very interesting things to say.


5. Checking your self out in the shop windows. The worst is when you're looking at your reflection and notice an onlooker laughing at you sizing yourself up. You then pretend you're actually genuinely interested in looking at something in the window. Give it up.

6. Trip over and immediately look around to see if any one has witnessed it. Your next reaction be it laughing or crying or ignoring it will be determined by the reactions of those around you.

7. Girls are the only guilty offenders in this scenario. It's a natural chain of events. Meet a guy, have a chat, have a mini crush, then think how your name will look in front of his surname. Sometimes your quietly disappointed if it doesn't sound any good, and perk up with things like, 'it was never going to work out anyway. If we were to get married, my name would have been Megan Eagan.' Minor detail.

8. Feel unusually awkward when you keep passing the same acquaintance in every isle at the supermarket and you made the idiotic mistake of saying hello in isle one.

9. Write a message to someone, hear nothing for a while and convince yourself your phone might be on silent or think you heard it go off so check it just in case. But the reality is you've got nothing, no love, no friends, no nothing. Other times when you haven't got a message for a day or so, you think your phone could be broken so you switch it on and off just to make sure.

10. Pretended you don't speak English, say mummy and daddy aren't home or come up with some ridiculous excuse to fend off the advances of a Tele marketer. Why do I care if I offend them, they're interrupting me and they're making me feel bad about telling them to stop interrupting me.

wonderful post!

I've definitely looked up lyrics and then dropped them later. People think you're the real deal, that way...

Excellent! Bravo!

I especially love this:

'll even have arguments with people and play their part as well as mine and find myself loosing the argument, and have to remind myself I am in control and that I should clearly be winning.


I love reading good writing.
