Here is my list:
- When people return from the grocery store, they always have one large paper bag with a baguet of french bread. Oh, and there's some green carrot top/lettuce stuff poking out of the bag too.
- Nobody ever finishes their breakfast in movies.
- Women sleep with makeup on and wake up with it on too.
- In teen horror movies, some idiot always decides to split up the group and look for the bad guy. How stupid is that?

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

In an Arabic country, the car chase must run through the open market with live poultry in peril.

In fact, my husband was exactly 28-1/2 years older than me, but we were perfect together. Better 14 years of happiness than a lifetime in a miserable marriage.
18. Young gorgeous women constantly falling in love with men much, much older than they are. In other words: Fuck you Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood.
