I Do Not Understand....


Quote  |  Reply

Fill in the blank for yourself.

Mine:

Just read an article on a couple who admitted to locking their own granddaughter in a room for years.  Their sentence?  Three years in prison.

This makes no sense to me.  I do not understand.  I know people who have gotten longer sentences for drug charges.  And honestly, I think it's way worse to lock a child in a bedroom for years than it is to get really ticked off at someone and kill them.  A split second can carry a life sentence, but years of extreme neglect and abuse...ya get three years?

Oh, and yours can be as silly or serious as you'd like.

For instance, I also don't understand why people who have cars with windows that will not roll down go through drive thrus.

how I managed to run out of gas on my bike in the middle of the busiest intersection for miles.

 

Then again it probably had something to do with my disregard for my gas light which stopped appropriately functioning about 2 years ago. It only means "look! this small light bulb works!"

Differential Equations. Who needs'em anyways?

At first, I did not understand, why you put gas in your bicycle.

I don't understand why the man on the bicycle attempted to go through the local Taco Bell drive through. His bulldog he had on the leash with him was really slowing him down.

Bahahaha...Because it's one of these. And I'm a badass like that.

Haha i once had one of those. in my defense i still went through drive throughs because i'm extremely lazy. 

the worst though was going through tolls on the highway, no choice in the matter there!

I do not understand quantum mechanics, although I like to try.

I also do not understand why people buy something as odd looking as a Nissan Cube and then put spinner wheels on them - yeah, because it was the wheels that were preventing you from looking cool while driving that thing. 

I've always wanted someone to come through the drive thru on a horse.  I mean, that would be awesome.

 

It's definitely a lazy thing.  It kind of makes everything more complicated, though.  I had a car with a window that wouldn't roll down and I was too embarassed to go through a drive thru.

There's an exception to every rule, and it's usually you Cajun;D

I don't understand myself. Sometimes it's like I'm watching myself from the outside, and go: Really? And now that? Hmmmm. Wait what?

can I have a user manual or something

I don't understand why I have an inner monologue that won't stop. It's exhausting sometimes.

If I write it down (like when I cannot sleep because of it) and read those thoughts the next day.. it starts a new flurry of thoughts.. Why was I thinking that? Wish I hadn't blurted that one out .. etc.. ugh.

I also don't understand why any bitey insects always head for me for their first meal. Outside for an hour at night (in the desert where there are not supposed to be any bitey flying things) hubby's there too but the little b*stards gnash their teeth on me (ignore him) and now I have itchy/hurty bumps on my feet. Yes, my feet.

You obviously taste like insect candy :)

I don't understand why the NATO summit and the cross town classic are both happening this weekend. Like, really guys? You couldn't schedule this differently? On the plus side I get out of work early today and I have Monday off, downside (out of many) is that I have no idea how or when I'm going to get out of this city.

My worst fear is being stuck downtown at work because some sort of shenanigans shut down the loop.

I don't understand People...period!

I don't understand my 19 year old daughter and how she can justify her rude behavior and complete disregard for anything I say and be the victim in everything!!!!!Yell 

I do not understand why people don't take their old garage sale signs down... HELLO it has your address right on it stupid! Plus it's a frickin eyesore and what about the poor garage salers? how irritating to chase down a garage sale that happened last weekend, last month, last year!!

I don't understand people who leave up the local campaign signs long after the election is over. "Vote Smith for Councilman!" Dude, Smith died two years ago...WTH is that sign still doing in your yard?

I don't understand why anyone would choose to eat american cheese on purpose over just about any other kind of cheese. Limburger would be the exception.

A Week of Clean-Eating Dinners
I’m trying to give my eating habits a little cleanup these days. It’s easy to pay close attention to what I’m eating on the weekends when I’ve got tons of time on my hands to prepare delicious meals, but during the week when time is less available I feel the pull of convenience foods for their, well, convenience. Here’s what I try to live by when all I have is 30 minutes to prepare a "clean" meal.
