Things from the list I am most guilty of:
1. #1 Bringing up an extremely emotional/pertinent conversation in the middle of a crowded bar where you have to scream at each other by default. ---Yep. If you're ever too chicken to bring some real issue up sober--- getting wasted will always help. Everyone feels great about it. Until the next morning when you dont remember what was said, and even if you do, everybody was spitting out drunken lies anyway.
2. #5. Taking off your heels and walking barefoot on even the most hypodermic needle-sprinkled city sidewalks.
3. #8. Calling, texting, Facebook messaging, emailing, or in any way communicating with someone you’ve ever broken up with. I don’t care if you are bleeding from a stab wound in your abdomen and they drive the only ambulance in town — you wait until you are sober to call or you die. ---This is a rule to live by. Dying is probably the safer way to go.
4. #9. Telling your friend that she is so gorgeous to the point where you actually start to weep from a painful combination of her beauty, the ephemerality of human life, and Jack and Cokes. ---While I generally don't cry about how beautiful my friends are, I definitely tell them how much I love them-- that still counts right? Even tho you guys are all beautiful--- don't be offended it hasn't moved me to tears yet.
5. #13. Paying for a round of shots with your rent money. ---Paying for shots comes from a pile of money I just don't have-- not just rent.
6. #21. Making out with your ex, if he/she happens to show up at the party. (No, not even if they look at you with that special look that only you two share. That “look” is called being horny and convenient.) ---- This goes back to the death rule I think. You're just hurting yourself in the long run here people.
7. #29. Attempting to speak a foreign language that you clearly do not speak, upon meeting someone who comes from a country that speaks said language. No one wants to hear your butchered 7th grade Spanish, least of which Ana from Venezuela. ---- I do this with Italian, Spanish, and German. German? really? Although I usually try to spare my Austrian friends from this gem of a habit of mine, I distinctly remember yelling all of the nouns I know at some South American who spoke German as well as he did English. (so clearly-- i go for the German, not the English)
8. #31. Long Island Iced Teas in general.
Things I’m not guilty of but know many-a-person who are:
9. #3. Falling asleep while waiting for food to heat up. --- Fire department will NOT hesitate to knock down your door....
10. #24. Smoking a cigarette when you are clearly someone who doesn’t actually smoke. (If everyone around you is like, “Holy shit, “_____ is smoking!” that’s a sign that you shouldn’t be going down this road.) --- I hate this. I will not go on my whole no-smoking rant. But I hate this and just because you are drunk doesn't suddenly make cigarettes not cancerous anymore. Just saying.
Things I've decided to add to the list:
11. Forget everything.
12. Lose your phone.
I do both of these on a regular basis. I'd just like to point out that my forgetfulness has very little to do with the amount of alcohol I've consumed. Just saying.
Here is a link to the site. Which ones are you guilty of? Anything to add? I was going to write something about dancing--- but thats just not a mistake.
