Life can be confusing, no? Some things confuse me more than others. Here are a few of them.
Single "cold ones" at convenience store check-outs. Why on earth is it legal to buy a single icy-cold beer at the c-store check out? Does anyone really buy that beer and take it home for later? I know dad-gum well that those puppies get sipped on the ride home.
Hot dogs & buns. Why are there 8 buns in a packet, but 10 hot dogs? Is it like a commonly known thing that 20% of all hot dogs are eaten bunless? Am I the only one that didn't know this?
Things people say. Why do people say "I could care less" when what they MEAN is, "I could not possibly, in a trillion years, care any less than than I do". Also, "supposably". I'm confused that people who say that don't get smacked regularly.
Four way stop signs. On the one hand, they seem extremely polite. "your turn". "no, yours". On the other hand, well, WHOSE TURN IS IT????
Braille on drive-up ATM's I don't think I need to expound.
Parents who smack their kids while saying,"STOP CRYING". Almost as confusing, a parent spanking a kid while saying, "we don't hit people!".
Percentages, without a calculator. I'm really glad normal tipping is a nice even percentage like 20. If the common tip amount was, oh, 17%, I'd probably still be sitting in the restaurant from lunch, trying to figure out what to tip.
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed just thinking of these things. I think I'll drive down the road and buy me a tall boy.
