Random things you find bewildering

[wambam]

I am certain that I've talked about this before because ever time I see it I am amazed and confused and curious lol: people who drive while drinking coffee out of a ceramic mug without a lid.

Your turn. What weird/random thing do you find bewildering?

Eating lasagna or spaghetti with garlic bread. I mean, I still make it, lol, but every time I do, I'm like...is bread plus pasta really necessary?

Why yes, yes it is. With red wine and tiramisu. Salad optional.

How most adults make it through the day - I am bewildered at how stupid some people can be

Oh, I know. And it's delicious. But it's always in the back of my mind, haha.

No show athletic socks or peds in dress shoes. They are so uncomfortable to me (and low quarter fitness socks are getting so hard to find!)

The girl I started with at my job does this. I tease her about it. She only has a .5 mi drive to work so whatever, but I'm like, wouldn't it be EASIER to use a travel mug???

I occasionally do this, but only if I'm more than halfway through the cup when it's time to leave and too lazy to put it in a travel mug.

My entire wardrobe would be coffee-stained in a matter of weeks. Do they have some kind of voodoo magic that allows them not to spill?!

My dad does this. He's never owned a travel mug. Just takes his coffee cups into the car.

I find this bewildering. 

People who drive with their windows down. Hair flies everywhere, it's loud, it makes my ears do weird pressure stuff...I don't get it. Air conditioning for life!

Why 7-11 has locks on the door.

Agreed! My Dad calls open windows "nature's air conditioning" and I die a little inside whenever I have to go anywhere with him in warm/hot weather. Cars are made with air conditioners for a reason, and that reason is not to be inconvenienced by fast-flying dusty ass hot air!

People who have full-on work-related conversations in the bathroom. OMGGTFO!!

They side-eye me at panera when I get soup in a bread bowl and want bread as my side. YES I'M SURE.

If they are anything like the 24/7 convenience store I worked at during college - you lock the doors to secure the scene after you are robbed.  

People who back up because they missed their exit - just go to the next one and turn around.

Why people insist on making dangerous and illegal driving maneuvers instead of just making a safe and legal decision.

There's a clearly marked no U-turn light that someone always has to ignore. I anticipate it, but there are so many accidents. Someone also crossed 2 sets of double yellow lines to make an illegal left turn in a ton of traffic and almost hit me while I was driving up to an intersection yesterday. MAKE A FUCKING RIGHT TURN AND TURN AROUND OR CHANGE YOUR ROUTE. And he was a bearded hipster.

OMG, these and the people who all of a sudden realize that their exit is in 100 ft and they cut off three people and drive over a shoulder to make it.  For the love of puppies, take the next exit and turn around.

Add girls who drive/ride around in jeeps with the top off. WHERE ARE THEY GOING? And do they not have to look like a civilized human when they get there? Even if I put my hair up, it whips around so much that my ponytail is wrecked and it still gets tangled. My husband gets so annoyed when I won't let us take his jeep places, and acts like every other girl ever is totally cool with it!

AGGGHHH, I hate this! Anything but a nod of acknowledgment or friendly hello at the door/sink is too far. Don't talk to me when I'm in a stall! I'm pretending I'm in my old little world/room here, and that you can't hear me peeing. Please join me in this polite fantasy.

I do love driving with the windows down, though. I'm pretty sure I was a dog with floppy ears in a previous life.

People in my office are super strange. 

I've heard at least 2 women having full phone conversations while they were on the toilet. They flushed and everything!

And then there's the women who start talking at the sink and stand there for 5 minutes, discussing work, while I'm prairie dogging, silently begging them to GTFOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so I can unleash.

Oh, and sometimes they do move their conversation out of the bathroom, but then they stand RIGHT in front of the door and I nearly crash into them on my way out.

Totally necessary. In fact, DH was getting ready to make spaghetti the other night and I was like "what are you doing?? we're out of garlic bread?" Because I'm not a monster I went and bought some at the store.

Why every house in the neighborhood turns on their central air unit when it hits 65 outside. Open your windows and stop using electricity!

[cville]

People who talk on the cell phones on speaker in public. NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR BORING LIFE SHIT.

This is the reason I'm down with cell phone bans on airplanes. If I have to hurtle through the sky with 10" of legroom for hundreds of dollars AND listen to how like, I don't know why she doesn't break up with him and did you remember to pick up some Clorox?, someone will die.

Or when I get mac and cheese and bread as a side. 

[cville]

Also, the weird LA grid highway system. Your city makes no sense.

[sunnysally]

Why do our neighbors still have Christmas lights up and turned on?

Why is flushing completely so difficult?

[game blouses]

Skin care. What's the difference between toner and primer? Should I use oil or cream moisturizer? If I'm wearing makeup, how do I reapply sunscreen? Ugh my poor skin.

[smock]

This is really random, but back in the 90s there was a commercial for a car alarm where a CG snake attacked the car thief. I spent years and years wondering how the snake worked--like, were there lasers in your car? A projection system?

I only just realized the snake is a metaphorical snake.
