Things I just do not understand..

[lizabu]

Facebook, and how my husband can watch poker on tv for hours.

I don't understand watching golf on tv either. It doesn't seem very exciting to me

I dont understand breast reductions

Yep back pain. Try strapping to 5lb watermelons to your chest & walking upright Ok that was just a brag

Yet you dig a hole for a body, and you can't avoid so much extra dirt that you end up with a mound twice the size of the body.

One of life's great mysteries.

See you need to bury them under the pool, nobody notices the extra dirt then.

Clayton's alcohol

Ok breaking out that Aussie to American bookmark. AAAHH here it is O'Douls & yup - no clue on that

Sorry if this is tmi.....how my DH can have a phone conversation while on the toilet. He says he does his best thinking there.

Or your BFF who calls and yells - guess where I am? Then flushes She's been doing this for 50 years now.



Whole Foods & 6 dollar apples
Third marriages - it might be you
Inception, I am still confused & will not even attempt The Lobster

Oh & men - really & why?

Nose piercings. Especially during allergy season. How do you operate the tissue with an extra opening in the side of your nose?!

 

[DawnM]

I don't understand...

People who over-schedule their lives and then complain about being busy

This.

I have friends who do this all the time! I point out that it is a choice they have made and they can change that choice, but they don't want to hear it.

I am going to show my age, but I still don't fully understand hashtags.

 

[Happyinwonerland]

I am going to show my age, but I still don't fully understand hashtags.

I'm 32 and I don't get them either.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Don't feel bad... I don't either.

Hehe. I'd say the nose-blowing thing is the #1 question people ask. It's really a non-issue.

Why American donuts have a hole in the middle what a frightful waste... Then Indid a double take to see in your Walmart the 'donut holes ' for sale lol. English donuts are solid with jelly or another filling in the middle. We do now have your Krispy Kremes stores but I feel robbed I am getting half a donut as nice as they are..

That is like this 'diet pizza' they sell here in the UK they cut the middle out chuck in a salad and charge you the same amount. Err no thanks give me back my darn pizza lol... Healthy smeathy...if I want a salad I will have it on the side as well as. Greedy much..

Don't feel bad... I don't either.

Used to group tweets together.
Example. On Monday nights I use #qanda or #QandA to disagree or agree with people on the telly. So does every other armchair polly in Australia I can then search or go into that hashtag tweet feed to see what my comrades are bleating on about.

I don't understand why people use them on FB or anywhere else though. That's just being a dill.

Backing in to parking spaces

I do it if I'm arriving at a time when nobody is around, but will be leaving when a bunch of kids are crossing the parking lot all at once. - I find it way more stressful to back out of the space then!

Split stays at Walt Disney World

I don't get it either! I'm paying too much for park tickets to take a day off to "move". (Then again, we usually only stay about 4 days. If I was staying more than a week, I'd take a rest day in the middle anyway, so I guess then I wouldn't mind.)

The point of imaginary numbers

To make people who hate math think those of us who love it are even weirder!

Why I keep dreaming that I eat spaghetti every night

Why I can never find my shoe laces in the morning.

Backing in to parking spaces

It is considered safer to back into parking spaces. When you back into the space, you only need to worry about fixed obstacles (the other parked cars). When you back out of the space, you need to worry about the parked cars plus potential moving obstacles (other cars, people, etc) as you are awkwardly looking over your shoulder or in mirrors. I was a FedEx courier back in the day and also served in the military. Both organizations taught that backing into parking spaces was safer and, for the military, more tactical.

I'm pretty sure most people don't back into parking spaces because they suck at it. Many people can barely park well between the lines when going forward.

Yeah, that doesn't help.

Why people think, "It will all workout" is a comfort when someone is hurting. How the heck do you know it will all work out? Sometimes it doesn't!

In a tight parking lot with a large vehicle, it's often easier to back in than to pull in. And it's almost always easier to pull out than back out. I have an extended cab truck. I can back into pretty much any spot in one try. Trying to back OUT of a tight spot might require 2-3 back&forths before I'm clear. It's a simple matter of physics - the rear tires are at a fixed position while the fronts pivot. And you want the most "movement" to be at the end of the car that is sticking out of the spot.

Let me try.
When you use a hash tag it becomes a link that you can click. When you click it you will see every time someone else used that same hash tag. All the thoughts get grouped together so you can read everyone's thoughts on that same issue.

Not to get political but an easy example in the USA could be #trumpforpresident if you clicked on that on Twitter you could find a vast variety of what everyone thinks of that issue going very good to very bad.

At least this was the intention of the hash tag I believe now it has taken on a life of its own stupid self.

Vegemite.

Toddler leashes.

Selfie sticks.

Turkey bacon or veggie burgers.

Defendants on Judge Judy who feel that someone calling them to get a payment on a loan should be considered harassment - and how 99% of all other defendants and 80% of all plaintiffs manage to survive everyday life.

Why people are embarrassed about wearing hearing aids, but not glasses.

Tramp stamps on men.

Clamshell packaging on items that cost under $5.

How 4 cheeseburger sliders are considered an "Appetizer" or a salad is considered a meal.

Feeding a toddler nothing but chicken nuggets for 2 or 3 years because it's quick, easy and mobile - then wondering why when they are old enough to eat regular meals with the adults, they only have a taste for chicken nuggets.

People too lazy to return a shopping cart to a proper location that just leave it in the parking lot.

Women who remove so much of their eyebrows that what's left looks like it was drawn on during a Kindergarten art class.

Why my grocery store still has taco shells in the "International" aisle.

Daylight Savings Time.

I get that, I just don't understand the point. In the previous example, the poster said #QandA. That takes me to a huge link with 1000s upon 1000s of links to various Q and A things. It is too vague and broad, just like your example.

I have friends who post pics and then put #cuteness or #puppylove or whatever but the links have nothing to do with what they are actually posting.

What is the point?
