- I don't understand... why there are drawstrings on women's pants. If there is a zipper and/or buttons already there to hold the pants on my hips (and really, my hips can hold up most things on their own) why a drawstring? On the same line, let's explore briefly the redundancy of a two inch zipper beneath two buttons and three metal clasps. There's no quick trips to the bathroom with some women's pants these days... lack of planning could lead to some serious problems!
- I don't understand... why certain people can't handle me not knowing where something is. I'm not from around here, folks. Granted, I've lived here for nearly 10 years (gasp!). The other day, a coworker and I were sitting outside enjoying the sunshine, and he mentioned a building in the area that had seen considerable damage from the earthquake. I mentioned casually that I didn't know where it was, but urged him to continue his story. He couldn't. He was physically unable. It was like an affront to him that I didn't know where it was. To correct this giant error, he began suggesting other landmarks that I might know in the area to give me an area of reference. I shrugged, and tried to convince him it didn't matter. Apparently it did, and the conversation ended rather abruptly. I never did learn what happened to the building affected by the earthquake...
- I don't understand... why when I pull my hair back into a pony tail only the left side slips out from the elastic and gets in my face. I expect my bangs to get in my face a teensy bit, but I think it's a bit excessive that the rest of it won't stay where it belongs.
- I don't understand... why the women I work with won't change the toilet paper roll when it's empty. I realize that the stereotype maintains that only men don't know how to change the TP roll, but I beg to differ. It's a curiosity to me. I won't bother touching on how I don't understand how some people are okay with the roll being under instead of over... that really deserves its own post.
- And lastly (for today), I don't understand... how Brady can possibly shed as much as he does without eventually going bald. If he wasn't so terrified of the new vacuum, I might use it on him!

You may want to sit down for this one...
In my book, the toilet paper roll replacement (or lack thereof) has to be the most incomprehensible.
ReplyDeleteNice work. I found your blog by clicking the “Next Blog” button on the blue Nav Bar found at the top of most Blogger/com/blogspot blogs. I frequently just “blog surf” to find out what others are doing in the blogosphere. I enjoyed the experience. Keep it going.
I hear ya on the drawstrings! I've been known to just cut them out!
ReplyDeleteAnd TP should go over. Amen sister.
I agree with the drawstrings... It has been a deciding factor for me in the store whether to buy or not to buy. Drawstring = back on the rack unless it's really REALLY special.
ReplyDeleteHair: cowlick? I don't know how I don't go bald with the hair that falls out of my head simply when I wash and comb it.
And TP: definitely over. Anybody who says differently is just weird.
I totally agree with you on the drawstrings and the tp, I mean really what is the use of drawstrings if they fit like they should! Also the tp, I can't stand when people that do actually change it put it under and instead of over!
ReplyDeleteI also work in an office where the women do not change the TP. And of course, I prefer the new roll to be installed over rather than under... However, I have been known to do it the other way just to annoy my coworkers. :D
ReplyDeleteI realize that I'm commenting on a post that is many months old... but this is where I find myself today as I'm reading through the archives. :o)
