Universal Truths

I found the following list of Universal Truths here, and although they are all true, some are truer than others. I've edited and added my own.

Universal truths
1) Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones.
2) At the end of every party there is always a girl crying.
3) One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronised with a complete stranger.
4) You've never quite sure whether it's ok to eat green crisps.
6) Reading when you're drunk is horrible.
8) You're never quite sure whether it's against the law or not to have a fire in your back garden.
12) Its impossible to describe the smell of a wet cat.
14) Rummaging in an overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball.
16) Everyone always remembers the day a dog ran into your school.
17) The most embarrassing thing you can do as schoolchild is to call your teacher mum or dad.
18) The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at thefirst given opportunity.
21) Old women with mobile phones look wrong!
25) Old ladies can eat more than you think.
26) You can't respect a man who carries a dog.
27) There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got your hand or head stuck in something.
28) No one knows the origins of their metal coat hangers. They are never bought, they just....appear.
29) Despite constant warning, you have never met anybody who has had their arm broken by a swan.
30) The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug. (I would say this one is wrong, stepping on Lego or a Lite-Brite peg will make you cry.)
31) People who don't drive slam car doors too hard
32) You've turned into your dad the day you put aside a thin piece of woodspecifically to stir paint with.
33) Everyone had an uncle who tried to steal their nose.
34) Bricks are horrible to carry.
35) In every plate of chips there is a bad chip.

I would add:
*It's hard to study in the sunshine.
*Cats never feel guilty.
*You will always make almost enough money.
*All bars smell the same.
*The worst feeling in the world is wet jeans.
*Sarcasm is lost on your average three-year-old.
*Everyone feels a little dizzy when they look up at the stars.
*You never see anyone sitting in an elevator.
