Nothing really annoys me more than people correcting my spelling on my social media sites. It just urks me for some reason. It’s the same with when I talk and don’t say something correctly. Dude, calm down. I’m not giving a speech or writing a thesis so as long as the message is communicated then the goal was accomplished. “I think you meant YOU’RE” oh shut up. You obviously understood the post right? Thats the whole point of communication! So after saying that, it pains me to say that you should probably watch the way you post on Facebook. Why?

Put Your Hands Down
I’m not sure how this study was done since no one really talks in person anymore, well i guess you can do it over skype and facetime but that would just make you even more annoying. I’m talking about hand gestures. Coming from a spanish mother I know all about talking with your hands! Watching her and my aunt talk in spanish was pretty entertaining, even though I don’t speak spanish I could follow along pretty easily by the way they moved their hands. Although, I never did catch one of them throwing up the air quotes, or using the wink and the gun. (“you can’t give the guy the wink and the gun and not give him the job!” …Carlton from Fresh Prince…nothing? Moving on.) There are plenty of other hand gestures that are SUPER annoying so they did a survey in Britain to find out the top 10. Be sure to check them out and if you do any of them STOP THAT!

Science Breaks Down “Cool”
Well if that isn’t an oxymoron then I have no idea what would be. A bunch of science geeks got together to figure out the formula for being “cool.” Nothing cooler than that right? Thankfully these scientists have the spare time on their hands “Why are we trying to cure stuff? Let’s find out why Skylar was the most popular kid in my high school, now THAT’S Science!” So basically what they did was follow me around for a month so they could see how cool people live. Then they put together the top 11 qualities that make me so awesome and you can check them out after the jump!

Phone Calls?
Wait, you’re telling me that I just talk into this end and I can hear what my mom says on the other end of the phone? Is that new in iOS 6? Believe it or not we don’t really use our phones as phones anymore. We all knew this but they finally did a survey to show how much we use our phones for different things. Using it as a phone actually came in 5th place! And you’re saying to yourself “well yeah of course, everyone texts now” NOPE! Texting actually came in 7th place. So what are you ACTUALLY using your phone for? Find out after the jump!

Just ONE Moron
As we have all learned at some point or another, it only takes one dumb ass to ruin everyone’s fun. “Hey Skylar put this on my b***s and light it bro!” We know that guy, he’s probably in your family. Some of us just want to have fun and enjoy lighting some fireworks to celebrate Independence Day.

You neighbors pet cats, who lets face it, you never liked anyway but they were still innocent victims. So why not take some time and go over these helpful hints on how to be safe with fireworks during a drout. For your neighbors cats sake, click the jump.

App Of The Day 6/29
It’s been a while since I have done an App of the Day but I am really impressed with this one and thought I would share! If you haven’t already downloaded Google Chrome on your iPhone yet then I highly recommend it. Especially if you use chrome as your main browser. If you don’t know, you can log into Google Chrome on your desktop and then use that to log into any chrome on any computer and your bookmarks will appear on top. It’s the same with the app, I logged in and BAM all my favorites were right there! I didn’t have to revisit and save them as a bookmark. So I tapped a couple just to compare the speed to Safari and Opera and it’s just as quick if not faster. Plus the layout is easy to use and well thought out. I had no trouble using it right away, like I had been using it the whole time. So if you are looking for a good browser on your iPhone and don’t know who to trust. You can trust me. I was skeptical and heard that it was slower than Safari but when I use it it works way better! And to top it all off, It’s FREE!
Potty Fishin’
At some point in our lives we are going to drop something in the toilet that we don’t want to be in there. There have been several occasions that I’ve gone Potty Fishin’ for an item i needed. Unfortunately it’s almost always after I have finished using the toilet and it’s no longer just harmless water. Luckily I have never dropped my cell phone in the toilet so i haven’t had to make that critical decision just yet. If it came down to it though I am almost certain that I would reach in and get it out no matter what was “occompaining” it. It seems that 53% of people surveyed agree with that. What else would you do to get your phone back? Dig through garbage? Fight someone? See which side you fall on more “what ifs” after the jump!

Not On The First Date!
We all have our own first date horror stories. Luckly I have avoided the “you know I’m a dude right?” kind of bad date, but there have been some bad ones. The problem is that as a guy, I have no idea where to take a woman on the first date. I’m sure they don’t want to go see a niner game with me, or see what new comics are in my box at the comic book store (yes, I have a box…) So where do you take someone you barely know to impress them. The answer to that, I don’t know. I DO know 5 places NOT to take them though! Check them out after the jump!
