Do you ever feel that your life contains ridiculous clichés from TV and movies? Well, I have that feeling in my life.
I become much more attractive when I'm really not interested in a relationship. It doesn't matter if it's because I'm already in a relationship, or if I just don't want to get involved with anyone just then.
Normally people don't hit on me, but if I'm totally unavailable I'm suddenly very interesting.
One of the "worst" examples I have is something that happened when I had just gotten into a pretty serious relationship. I was at the supermarket, buying some food, and during my short time there two separate people started flirting heavily with me.
I mean, honestly, who tries to pick up a date at the supermarket? And who decides to suddenly start flirting with me? Normally I would expect neither of those things to happen, but as soon as I'm totally uninterested things like that happen all the time.
And I've seen the exact same thing in any number of TV-shows. There's always some plain guy who doesn't get much spontaneous interest from people. But when he finally does find someone, everyone else suddenly wants him. Moderate hilarity usually ensues.
I've figured out that I'm that guy. Which TV-cliché fits you?

I sometimes feel like I'm stuck in an episode of "Seinfeld", but most of the time, I'm expecting Rod Serling to show up and tell me I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Office Space = everyday of my life. Your name is Michael Bolton? Or do you have to worry about your meeting with the Bobs? <sorry couldn't resist>

My life is more or less a sitcom ALL THE TIME. I want to write a script of it and pitch it to a TV network or something.

I guess I would make a good big bang theory character (most likely Sheldon). I'm also reminded of me by George Costanza.

My car hates it when I try to get lunch. In fact, it has stopped working 4 times, every time when I was going out to get food.

There are so many moments in my life I think would make a great show if you just cut out all the dull bits. Strangely enough, they involve myself and my parents driving in the car.
Like a year or so ago, when my mom was concerned with all these strange lights out after dark... "Meg, what's that light?" "What, the moon?" "The one below it!" "Mom, that's someone's guard light..."
Well, there were some moving lights, too. Dad and I told her it was nothing, but one thing led to another and the next thing I know, we're in the truck driving down some dirt road at eleven at night, trying to find the source of the lights. "Hey, Dad! I think I can hear people talking!" "Let me turn off the radio..."
In the end, we drove several miles with the headlights off only to find that Dad and I were right. It was somebody's new guard light and football traffic. I was just ready to go home. "Can we go back now? Only the back seat was folded up when we started and I've been sitting on all these tools for the past half hour." "You didn't put the seat down?" "I didn't have time, Mom, we were racing to stop the drug lords!"

Right now I feel like I'm stuck in an episode of Friends. All this stupid drama that has no point... breakups and new boyfriends, tension with the ex, who had sex with whom, how they broke up because she was afraid of getting hurt but it was really because he's no good in bed... my god I feel so lame.

I just had to sit and hear my uncle say these things...
-Scientists are seeking fame. If someone finds something 5,000 years old, another will "find" something 10,000 years old to get more fame. -He read a book about the most brilliant scientists over 1,000 years, and none of them believed in evolution.
But then he talked about how the swine flu has mutated so medications are resistant to it.
It was so ironic, I felt I must have been on Family Guy or something.

One time, I was getting some soda from the convient store, when this guy passes by me and starts saying "hey baby you sexy! You sexy baby." Needless to say it creeped me the fuck out. I paid for my drink and left the store without saying anything.
Maybe I should stop going to the convient store. Not really sitcom worthy, but it I did find it kinda funny when I got home.
Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, my extended family would have made a great TV family. One time my grandmother was trying to give my cousin directions to another family member's home. She told him to "drive to the other side of town, pass the gas station, and take a left at the two houses". Then my grandfather started shouting "Two houses?" "There not the only two houses in the whole god damned world! There are more than two houses in that town! How would he know which houses to turn at?" Goes on and on over the "two houses".

My life is less like a sitcom, more like a demented spree of channel-hopping during a sugar high.

Again, my life is a sitcom *only* if you count The Twilight Zone...

I don't know about cliches, but there's this laugh track that kicks in whenever I trip over something. It's starting to get kind of annoying.
