A Couple of Life's Little Mysteries

[Wongo]

You don’t see students give up their seats to adult very often these days. They don’t pay for their tickets so they should give up their seat. We all did the that when we were students didn’t we?

When you cross the road, walk a bit faster so those 5 cars can make the turn before the lights turns red.

It is so simple, it doesn’t talk much effort and the world will be a better place.

A klaxton will scare anyone, not just pedestrians, especially if it is still connected the original car. Seems to give it more presence.

[DavidG]

A klaxton would simply make me stop and tie my shoe laces, even thought my shoes do not have laces.

Haha,

yes, and also:

why do people with umbrellas, turning their heads around to look at something interesting, turn their umbrellas with it, poking the damn thing in your eye?

why do people push the buttons on their remote controls harder when the batteries run low?

why is a view finder in a camera named as such in English, whereas it is called "Sucher" in German and "zoeker" in Dutch, which both translate as "searcher"?

why do sheep not shrink in the rain, like wool garments do when washed?

Many more like these out on the internet!

Here's a real one.....
Why is the Butcher in Avoca that sells Sheep Brains called "that bloody lying bugger"???

I can drive into town, never see a traffic light, put up with slowing down for wallabies echidnas or plain turkeys on the unsealed road. On the odd occasions, actually see another vehicle. On a real bad day it takes up to 15 minutes to drive the 11km to town. Then we have the indignaty of having to park up to three parking bays from the front of the chosen shop. Don't quite know how we put up with it...

More people to put up against the wall:

The dopes who push & shove to get to the escalator, then have a brain phart & just stand there, won't get on (or off) or move aside.

Parents (both genders) who swing their loaded baby cart around like an Olympic hammer thrower (well almost) in shopping centres. They can go there with the clots who push trolleys, or not, while looking the other way, expecting all & sundry to jump out of their way.

Then there are the sprawlers who try to block the footpath & doorways by standing in the most bizare postures, with the effect that they take up as much room horizontally as they are tall. Unfortunately I do not have the fleetness of foot to get away with just walking up & kicking their leg/s out from under them

And unfortunately some of these clowns are allowed to drive cars! You often see the result of this on the evening news.

Oh, oh, and the people who get to the top of an escalator and then just stand there trying to decide which way to go, while people pile into them from behind. And the ones who go to step onto an escalator and then change their mind at the last second when you're standing right behind them waiting to get on.

And why do people not put the seat up in public toilets when they go for a pee and make a mess on the seat? Do they do that at home?

[Honorary Bloke]

Now you've touched a nerve, Silent. Those folks who, when deplaning, reach the terminal and then greet ten thousand relatives, or stop dead to dial their mobile, whilst the other passengers pile up behind, stuck in the jetway!

In Moscow the trains are 50m below ground at their subways - grande stations too - chandeliers marble pillars - tile mosaics - like palaces. But the travellators are so long and they move at about jogging pace. The locals know to stand to the LHS to allow runners by. Also they know to use every step for standing on the travellator. Seven to ten travellators wide full of people tavelling at speed - they move millions per day very effectively.

If some tourist dope were to stop anywhere along the path of these moving masses - trampled for sure - now theres a cure using Darwin philosophy.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Why do people obscure their car's rear windows with sunshades and silly signs saying "Baby On Board" and then think they're being safer?

Why do architects put long, steep walkways next to escalators in their designs then call them wheelchair friendly?

[Wood Butcher]

Why do some people have to line up beside you at a red light and "drag" off to get in front, just to slow everyone down when they turn into the next side street!

[Lignum]

the travellators are so long and they move at about jogging pace. .

If they are moving at such pace, then wouldnt the people be catapaulted off at the top. It would be funny to see

[artme]

Why do 80% of people surveyed not want to be included in statistics?
