Things I Just Don't Get

[LoneKiller]

This is a list of some things I just don't get. Feel free to add your own if you want.


1. Redheads- We call people with orange hair "Redheads". It's not red. It's ******* orange. They should be called "Orangeheads".

2. People in the grocery store who stand in the line waiting to serve themselves by using the automated cashier machine.

3. People who think that by lightly kicking an electronic lotto machine it will payout.

4. People who ***** and moan about high prices on various grocery items, but still buy them anyway.

5. Teachers telling students to take off their ball caps in class. Who gives a honeysuckle weather the student is wearing a hat or not as long as they're respectful to the teacher, and make good grades!? Johnny is getting A's in all subjects, but God forbid he wear a hat!

6. Gamers who use their wireless controllers when they are sitting like 2 feet away from the television screen letting the battery charge go down. Use the **** charge cable if your that close. Your controller won't wear down that way.

7. Paying Gamestop $49.99 for a used copy of a game when you can get the sealed one for like $7.00 more.

Things I Do not get:

1) Women

 

[LoneKiller]

Oh no.

 

[SophiaGrace]

1) Rape

 

[LoneKiller]

1) Rape

Yeah, I agree. They say it's all about power. To me it's all about a guy finding something to really get his rocks off in such a horrendous way. Could rape be considered a fetish?

It is both, it can be both as well. Like murder, different layers

Ahhh.. Most certainly a horrendous fetish at that.

 

[SophiaGrace]

I think calling it a fetish is minimizing the concept of rape.

That's a good point.

That's a good point.

Its the least active factor

 

[Chikid]

I hate Gamestop

 

[LoneKiller]

I hate Gamestop

Me too.

 

[Drew88]

I hate Gamestop

Me too.

I don't......but then again I have not sold them anything in a while.

 

[monkeysocks]

I don't get:

Parents who abandon their children (not talking about adoption)

Banks who pile on huge charges on people who are in a financial mess

House work LOL

2. People in the grocery store who stand in the line waiting to serve themselves by using the automated cashier machine.

I don’t understand this one; the self-serving checkouts in the supermarkets around here still have queues so people still have to wait in line to use them or am I missing something?

5. Teachers telling students to take off their ball caps in class. Who gives a honeysuckle weather the student is wearing a hat or not as long as they're respectful to the teacher, and make good grades!? Johnny is getting A's in all subjects, but God forbid he wear a hat!

The problem here is that once Johnny starts wearing a cap then Timmy wants one to wear his too, then Lisa wants hers because it’s not fair if only the boys get to wear them etc. A big part of school is teaching you how to conform (whether good or bad is a whole new debate) and putting your own desires aside for a few hours. Once a single person starts going against that you’ve lost the purpose.

I’ll also add:

Racism, sexism and any other form of discrimination or harassment, just plain dumb.

The need to wear designer brands and look down on those who don’t.

Celebrities and how their ‘lives’ are used to make normal people feel insignificant.

Super skinny, as in unnaturally healthy, fashion models. Aren’t clothes made for regular people in all shapes and sizes anymore?

"1. Redheads- We call people with orange hair "Redheads". It's not red. It's ******* orange. They should be called "Orangeheads".

I have thought about this also lol.

-I don't understand how close minded some people can be. I guess maybe some are partly brainwashed, or brainwash themselves but yeah..

-I don't understand how some people think they are superior just because of their job title, cash, or looks. Aren't all made of the same substances and have the same basic needs?

Oh I'll still queue though just to keep my ear phones in and avoid having to socially interact with a shop assistant. I also take pride in the speed at which I've mastered the self check out process. I like to imagine the people queing behind me are suitably impressed, also at cash points, its one of the many minor wins I allow myself in any given day. :shy:

Lol that makes sense. "Orangehead" made me think of the lemon helmet cat, with an orange helmet. Sadly, I don't have Photoshop and my Paint skills aren't what they used to be...

Haha that made me smile. I often wonder whether people notice how efficient my timing is when it comes to catching all the green lights when I ride my bike to uni. (Yeah, I know they don't )

 

[SophiaGrace]

Sadism. I do not understand sadism.

 

[Broken_Doll]

Made me LMFAO.

Baggy jeans/low slung jeans - but below your ass so your ass is hanging out??? Another thing I "don't get".
Crocs...

I don't get Scientology or Breatharianism.
I don't get why as soon as I hit adulthood suddenly it was like I had to stop liking pink sparkly stuff and My Little Ponies.
I don't get why E is still illegal despite scientific research finding no evidence to support claims that it does actually do long term damage or that it is particularly harmful - also the negative side effects are few and far between, not lasting long. I consider alcohol to be far far more "dangerous" than E/MDMA (whatever you want to call it).

I'm in agreement with monkeysocks about banks piling charges on people who are already in financial trouble as it is.
I'm also in agreement with Lost Drifter on the topic of discrimination.
