There is no more unrealistic TV series Friends.

The illusion that sells to the public-six people on ventinache are regularly without a little planning-is a blatant lie.
Can you imagine the groups of WhatsApp, the email thread, the joints between commitments, the abnormal complexity of organizing an exit in a bar for six people?
To be a realistic number, Friends should have about six friends phone, they leave messages, and invent excuses to stay home and watch TV.
Last week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has published the 'American Time Use Survey, an annual report about how people use the time of their brief existence.
For the most part, Americans are sleeping (on average nine hours in a day), work (a little 'less than eight hours) and watching TV (nearly three hours).
Only 41 minutes poor are passed every day to socialize with other human beings-a decrease of nine percent over the last decade.
This means that the company is moving away from that paradise described in Friends?
Or the point is that now we talk with more people online than in real life?
But maybe there is something at stake bleaker: maybe do not go out anymore because we take refuge in all our apartments and invent elaborate lies about why we can not get out.
This is the conclusion of a recent study by Yelp Eat24, a delivery service.
I have no reason not to trust a meals on wheels service when it comes up with a statement in which it says that people prefer to stay home.
In particular, they argue, "It may be that FOMO, fear of losing some event, has run its course, and in its place there is now the POMO [pleasure of missing out] -The pleasure of losing events."
According to the study, nearly 30 percent of respondents would be disappointed by the nightlife, more than a third say they are stressed or anxious at the thought of going out to have a hangover and all the rest.
Not surprisingly, 80 percent of people have "admitted to invent excuses not to go out."
That is: to lie to friends to not have to see.
We are all familiar with these stories: "My dog is sick," "I already have a commitment," "At this time I do not drink," "I'm not your girl," "You have the wrong number."
When others to use them find them right away, but we use it to keep up appearances, we say yes of course we would have done much pleasure to come to the noise festival to organize, but unfortunately there are some bugs coming out of a hole in the wall and then our cousin in town.
These excuses are the grease that lubricates social interactions to prevent them from becoming unpleasant, the Machiavellian web that unites us.
But why not simply say the truth?
Well, according to data from Yelp Eat24-on which, I repeat, I see no reason to raise any doubt-instead of going out we do these things:
1.
Watching movies / tv / TV2 series.
Relax / dormire3.
Mangiare4.
Stay with partner5.
Being with their figli6.
Leggere7.
Listen musica8.
Cleaning while 9.
Drink 10.
Play video games.
Of course, spending time with your partner or children are good reasons not to come out, and housekeeping should be done, but "listen to music" is not an activity that you take an entire evening.
Not even eat.
Not even stay home for "drink", presumably alone, it is the maximum, and I imagine that "relax" is a code for "masturbate", which is another activity that should not occupy hours.
No matter what you think on getting out in the evening in general, it's all quite sad.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Americans spend less and less time with their children, at work or with friends, but they look more and more television.
And we continue to lie and try to disguise the truth, which is that we are beached in front of Call of Duty, waiting for take-away food.
The only consolation is that all we are doing the same thing.
Your laziness, your inability to be honest with others (and probably about yourself) is not just a personal problem, but a symptom of a wider malaise.
That's why I will not come to your party, because the company is entering hibernation.
But I will do everything to make it the next time, I promise!
