Ok, I haven't posted in a while and I've been collecting these for a bit. Yes, I know they are a bit off the wall, but here it goes. My first edition of things that make me go HUH?
- The box to check mark on the utility bill to donate a $1 for those who can't pay their bill. Do they think that maybe lowering the rate would help a lot more people to afford it and a lot more people to be able to donate for the less fortunate? How much of his bonus does the CEO donate?
- Pay at the pump's where if you want to pay cash inside make you pre-pay. How do I know how much it's going to take to fill the tank?
- Sports commentators that think they have to state the obvious and ones that think we tuned in to hear them talk. No need to explain.
- Sports commentators that think they we tuned in to hear them talk about themselves. No need to explain, you know who I'm talking about.
- 911. Quick, you need a police officer for a non-life threatening situation. what number do you call. 911 and E911 are great ideas don't get me wrong, but shouldn't the police across the country have some kind of standard number for those other situations?
- Women's Hosiery. Where did it go? Business casual dress becomes the norm and suddenly no more women wearing hose. I'm no fashion czar, but it just occured to me that they were no longer envogue.
- Talking on the cell phone in the bathroom - public or private. I was in a public bathroom the other day and the guy in the booth next to me talked the whole time he was in there till it was time for him to finish. "I call you back in 2 minute." Two minute? What no pluralization? Please, I know the whole world is a phone booth now but even Superman found a better one than the head.
A couple oldies. All these inspired by a college roommate:
- Staying up to study till 7 am for an 8am exam and falling asleep just in time to miss the test.
- opening the window and turning up either the heat or A/C depending on the time of year to try and adjust the temp.
- catching flies only to release them through the open window, then not shutting the window.
- putting on head phones so not to disturb others in the room, then turning up the volume so loud the people 3 doors away can hear it anyway.
