Below are a few of the daily observations I’ve been collecting this year. Some might end up in a book, others remaining in Evernote.
What kind of psychopath eats at Subway at 7am?
Companies can stop spelling out their phone numbers now. Once it’s in the phone, it’s out of the memory. It takes more work to figure out where the letters are than it does to type in any random numbers.
Americans would have stronger antipathy toward increasing national debt if it was called tofu-barrel spending.
It’s weird that pharmacists go to school for 8 years to work in the back of a grocery store not far from deli.
Adding “breakfast” before anything makes it better. Example: “burritos” “served all day” “wrap” “sandwich” “buffet”…
I don’t trust people who wear shorts year round.
I was about to buy something and then saw the reduced guilt version. I didn’t realize the thing I was going to buy had guilt in it.
Half of the enjoyment from reading a book comes from reading it at the right time in your life.
Feelings trump numbers. If you say beef is 75% lean, people will have a more favorable opinion than to say it’s 25% fat (Can’t remember which book I heard this in).
When you get a used dog it’s called a rescue. Doesn’t happen when you buy a used car. I didn’t “rescue” my Kia.
Microwaves should have a vibrate option or at least a mute button.
Time to rally together as a nation and figure out a way to pass the growing debt onto the next generation without them noticing.
I live in fear someone at Whole Foods watches how many samples I eat.
Saw a poster about fighting hunger and couldn’t tell if it was for fighting starvation or obesity. Only in America.
Watching people jog is a lot more entertaining if you pretend they just robbed a bank.
Trader Joe’s in an exercise in willpower. It’s slowly becoming a candy store.
