Random Things I Don't Understand
I have compiled a list of things/questions I have yet to find a logical answer to. I doubt there IS a logical answer, but still.
Here goes:-Why can smokers never find their lighters? And they only lose it the moment before they get the craving to smoke! Any other time, it's safely tucked in their pocket or sitting on the table.
-Why do people get completely out of their car at the drive-up ATM? Perfectly good waste of a car, if you ask me. (I saw this the other day, actually.)
-Speaking of ATM's, who started the trend of saying "ATM Machine" when the "M" in "ATM" stands for machine?
-Also about ATM's: Why do drive-up ATM's have braille?
-Why do skating rinks have handicapped parking spaces?
-How is it that you can have a kitchen full of food and yet find absolutely nothing to eat? (This happened to me this morning. I ended up eating popcorn with coffee...at 8:30 AM.)
-In Vegas, you can be 18 and walk into a completely nude strip club, but you have to be at least 21 to walk into a topless bar.
-The commercial for ANTI-Depression medicines say, "Possible side-effects are headaches, drowsiness, and thoughts of suicide."
-Weed is generally illegal (depending on the state), and it's never killed anyone. Cigarettes and asprin, however, are perfectly legal.
-Being someone else in front of a camera is called acting. Being someone else without the camera is called schizophrenia?
-The term "as hell" is now an adjective used to describe everything. Even opposites. Example: Cold as hell, hot as hell, janky as hell, good as hell.
-There is a war in Afghanistan, revolutions in Libya and Egypt, gas prices skyrocketing, and yet the ONLY things on the news are Justin Bieber's hair, the prince in England's wedding, and tips on how to lose weight.
These are just things I can think of off the top of my head. Feel free to comment/add-on as you wish.

I get out of my car to use the ATM because if I pull any closer ill scratch my car, and i dont like leaning over an open window, it hurts..
Skating rinks have handicap spaces because maybe someone with a disability wants to watch their son play ice hockey.
You have to be 21 to walk into a BAR, that makes sense cuz the drinking age is 21. For a strip club it doesnt really emphasize on the drinks as much as the naked women.
I dont think some of the things on this list are that hard to understand.
I love the list. They are there for a good laugh.
The last one was one that really bugged me. Not the fact that you wrote about it, don't get me wrong, but the fact that it's true. I was talking to my mom about this yesterday about how there are real problems going on in the world, and what do our news stations show us? A 16-year-old got his hair cut.
I hate to bash my own people, but Americans are obsessed with things that don't matter.
Why do we drive on a parkway, but park in a driveway? : )
this website is very good, you can go and see it

"In Vegas, you can be 18 and walk into a completely nude strip club, but you have to be at least 21 to walk into a topless bar."
Typically speaking: Nude clubs don't serve alcohol... topless clubs do.
i find it strange that "suck" and "blow" can be synonyms in certain contexts, and antonyms in others
What kind of news are YOU watching/reading?
I don't think I've ever heard about those 3 things you mentioned on cnn or huffingtonpost...
maybe you should stop watching tv gossip news, or reading those tabloid news magazines and start reading/watching real news, if that really bothers you.
"Being someone else in front of a camera is called acting. Being someone else without the camera is called schizophrenia?"
Please get your facts straight. Schizophrenia isn't Multiple Personality Disorder.
@bittersweetjaded@xanga - yea really i read that too and was like um no..
and the anti-depressant thing isn't that puzzling. it's the same way with generalized anxiety disorder. the medications can make the symptoms worse sometimes before they get better. it just all depends on how they respond to the receptors.
why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same?
Wow and I just got way way curious about America... Here in Britain, the Princes wedding is like on the front of all tabloids, and at the back of all quality newspapers (times, guardian etc)...
Do you just read tabloids? They are shit you know...
@incoherenceY3K@xanga - Slim chance is metaphoric. Fat chance is sarcastic. :)
