I must be really boring, I only got 6 of these (7 if you include the last one )

i do 22 for movies ALL the time.

None of them.

1) Have done.
2) Have not done - didn't even knows there was a view as option.
3) Of course.
4) No, I don't really watch many shows, and those I do watch I have no ability to marathon.
5) I receive texts?
6) 'Snooping'? No. Looking for a plaster or painkillers? Yes.
7) No.
8) No.
9) Yes, because sometimes it never comes out even with the hardest blows.
10) I have no social life - I've never played this game.
11) Yes except for the wine.
12) I have a significant other?
13) No.
14) No.

19) No.
20) Who doesn't?
21) Not all, no.
22) No.
23) Of course I won't, because it's not true.

I have done some of those.
Chief among them is coming home to an empty house and being relieved.

Hmm, my list goes like this:


1. I just tell people I don't want to go out.
2. More to see what my family members can/can't see.
3. I don't eat much.
4. I don't eat during porn marathons.
5. I don't even bother to pretend I didn't ignore it, I just keep ignoring it.
6. Nahh, just judge the cleanliness.
7. This is why Youtube was invented .
8. Don't use Snapchat, I'm not popular enough.
9. Possibly the reason for the above.
10. I tend to be the opposite, I like people to think I'm quite boring when I first meet them.
11. Who needs to be home alone for this?
12. No, but she does it to me.
13. I just send the e-mail, all my coworkers and friends know what my sleep pattern is like.
14. Can't say I've ever even considered doing this.
15. Best feeling ever.
16. Only the once, just to see if it worked. "Oh baby, yeah I could go all night. Oh no no no. I'm sorry" Thank you Scrubs.
17. I do not bake.
18. No.
19. Nahh, I shamelessly take selfies.
20. Don't we all?
21. Yes, I'm guilty.
22. No, I just really enjoy reading.
23. I admitted to what I do. (Which are probably the worst ones)

1. Saying “I have plans” to get out of other plans, when the only thing you have planned is some R & R.
I don't make plans in the first place. People call me up and say "lets hang" and i go out. There is forward planning.

2. Using Facebook’s “View As” option to see how your profile looks to your crush.
Don't have a facebook.

3. Finishing family-size servings of junk foods in one sitting
Didn't realise this was something to be ashamed of?

4. …while marathoning a show you wouldn’t admit to watching
Umm... what am i doing while marathoning?

5. Ignoring a text for days* and then saying, “OMG I’m SO sorry, just noticed my reply didn’t go through!
Don't get texts.

6. Snooping in people’s bathroom cabinets when you’re over at their place
Don't use other peoples bathrooms.

7. Starting a “private session” on Spotify and listening to your guiuhlty pleasure song on repeat for six hours
What's spotify?

8. “Accidentally” sending your crush a Snapchat that was “meant for a friend, so sorry!"
Pfft....

9. Deep and unabashed nose-picking
Stopped picking my nose when i was six.

10. Lying during “Never Have I Ever” because you don’t want to be the only loser that hasn’t dropped acid or had a threesome on a plane or whatever
Not doing drugs makes you a loser?

11. Being home alone = pizza out of the box, wine out of the bottle
Being home alone means 8+ hours straight of Counter Strike.

12. Sneaking a quick glance through your significant other’s inbox when they leave their Facebook logged in
No girlfriend. ;_;

13. Scheduling your emails to send at 8 a.m. so your colleagues and professors don’t know you’re a psycho 5 a.m. worker
No colleagues or professors to email.

14. Listening to a song on repeat for days so you can memorize the rap and bust it out at parties
Don't listen to rap. And i don't go to parties.

15. Feeling an overwhelming relief when you get home and realize nobody else is
Why is this something to be relieved over?

16. Faking it
That would imply sex is being had.

17. Genuinely intending to bake cookies but failing because you started eating the batter. And never stopped
I prefer brownies.

18. Watching engagement/wedding videos on YouTube and going through an entire box of Kleenex in an hour
Who actually does this?

19. Pretending to text while actually taking selfies
Nope...

20. Peeing in the shower
2 birds, 1 stone.

21. Abandoning all social norms and grammar rules while in conversation with your best friend
Am i not allowed/supposed to do this?

22. Claiming to have read books that you’ve actually just read the Wikipedia entry for
Kinda takes the fun outta reading doesn't it?

23. And, finally, you’ll never admit to having related to nearly every item on this list
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

#1 isn't a lie, R&R is totally a valid plan

Skipping the last (joke) entry, I've done half the stuff on the list. Seriously, only 11 out of 22. Weddings don't do anything for me, got some of Facebook and I'm too old to understand snapchat. Get off my lawn!!

I only do a few of those at most. I'd like to see the credentials of whoever decided on this list.

4. Erm can't remember watching any show that I'd feel embarrassed for watching, I might have done at some point though, just don't remember

21. Not really, have used text speak when I was in a hurry though if that counts.
22. Once or twice.
23. I can an relate to some, but some I have genuinely never done.

I got 9, though two or three were my equivalents of (wine out of the bottle for me is dr pepper out of the bottle, pretending to read books I haven't for me is for films etc.)

1. Yes
2. Didn't even know that option existed
3. Occasionally
4. No
5. No
6. No
7. No, I make sure to share everything I listen to, Ad Nauseum
8. I don't even use Snapchat

19. No
20. why not?
21. I still uphold some level of decorum

2. Not to my crush, but to people who I don't frigging know.
3. Yup, plenty of times.
4. Well I did admit to watching it eventually, see my avatar and sig.
5. Never done that. If I ignore a text, I ignore it.
6. Never done this, don't know why anyone would.
7. Never used Spotify. But I do listen to guilty pleasure songs on youtube.

9. Yeah, it's a habit.
10. I've never played Never Have I Ever, but I have lied in Truth Or Dare on truth.
11. Home alone? I do this when I frigging feel like it!
12. Never
13. Nope. And can you set a time for an email to send?
14. For karaoke, yeah.
15. Err, no, I don't care.
16. Faking what?
17. Never wanted to bake cookies ever
18. Erm, why the hell would I do this?
19. Again, see above.
20. Who hasn't?
21. Social norms, maybe. Grammar, no, I'm a Grammar Nazi.
22. Well I got my degree by claiming to read books I'd only seen the covers of.
23. Yeah because some of these are not applicable, such as Spotify and Snapchat which I've never even frigging used.

Just 15 for me.

What I am intersted in is what kind of person thinks that everything on that list is so ubiquitous that is is abnormal to, for example, not eat family sized portions of fast food.

Generally it's a teenage girl taking a picture of herself with her iPhone, while pursing her lips to look like a duck

a white female aged 13 with a snap back and a duckface, giving the peace sign with one hand, middle finder with the other, while her friend takes the photo with an ipad in a public toilet whilst the accompanying caption states how much swag she has and how ugly she is, wins all the points.

The reward for getting so many points is a permanent minimum wage job.

You forgot 'cleavage'.


Can't say that the majority of the things on that list apply to me. Although, going by some of the things on there, I suspect that it's supposed to apply to women...

Now, remember Insaniak, these are thirteen year old girls being discussed: you don't want to go asking for cleavage. The officials in my country (and yours) are likely to get upset at that request. Lol.
