WHY IS IT?

[macabre]

Why is it , whenever you are in a rush to go somewhere in your car every other driver refuses to travel more than 20mph?
Why is it that when you pick up an item that has the price clearly marked, the checkout assistant always seems to shout out the price in your face?

Why is it that no matter where i go i always seem to attract the local drunk?
 I am sure you guys have many "why is it" moments,so go ahead and please share them.

Why is it that I always get surrounded by all the loud mouth idiots on the bus? Almost every day I have someone sat next to me who has to sit or talk across seats with some other idiot, then there's the passengers with kids who decide to spend the whole journey stood up on the seat facing me in the seat behind!

Why is it at my workplace, no other member of staff seems to have any urgency whatsoever to get things done on time? I'm constantly at the mercy of other people not sending me the right paperwork or updating the correct computer systems. It's always the same problems day after day, you just have to roll your eyes and get on with it.

I always seem to attract weird and mostly hostile people, and on the rare occasion I go to a bar, some lunatic has to try and talk me to death until I give them the response they desire or until their friends have had a right laugh at my expense...

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but it might be that target painted on your back.

why is it that there are trollers on the internet?

why is it that whenever I use an acne medicine, that it'll work fine, then I'll get a breakout?

Why is it that any place that sells food on the 'net had ridicules shipping, even if it's just being sent through the mail? I looked at some stuff from, Arizona Gunslingers and Tobasco, and both had shipping quotes that far exceeded the cost of the items. I mean really, $65 to ship 8 or 10 smallish bottles of hot-sauce to Alaska?


Why is it that so many potentially cool t-shirts are done so stupidly? Like these:

I;m making my own "Lark's Vomit" shirt. .

A few years ago, I had a forensic investigator friend/coworker and his birthday was coming soon.  I thought it would be cool to have a t-shirt made for him that 'captured' our work.  The shirt design I presented to the lady airbrush artist at the t-shirt shop was quite graphic...

And she refused to do it.

She was offended by my suggestion, and she was nearly in tears just talking to me.

But, to her credit, she said there was someone there who would do it and she put me in touch with him.

The shirt turned out incredibly cool ... better than I could have hoped ... and was a big hit with my buddy.

Why is it that when I'm out in public NOBODY talks to me until I wear my iPod earphones?  Some days I go for days without wearing them, but the minute I put them in, I always get people who talk to me.

Then I pull one earpiece out and I say "sorry?" and the person goes "Oops!" and stops talking to me.

DON'T THEY SEE THE WHITE CORDS HANGING FROM MY EARS???!!!!??????  Are they really that hard to see?


Sheesh!

That always happens to me too. I also get people coming over and talking to me when I'm trying to read a book on my lunchbreak. They always ask "oh what are you reading? Is it any good?" and I get real sarcastic and say "I'm not reading anything because I'm talking to you" or "Let me finish it, then I'll tell you if it's any good".

Why is it that, the minute you get comfortably settled in front of the TV,your spouse urgently requires your presence in the other end of the house?

My particular bugbear is people who go onto "help" discussion boards and post useful comments like:
1) Because Hondas suck dude.
2) What areyou writing from 2005? Those specs suck and that software is ancient.
3) Its a lame A$$ game anyway, go buy an xBox.

What waste everyone's time not being helpful?

Why is it foul weather always brings out multitudes of the most inept drivers?

I can marginally empathize with with the morons on my 12 who won't let me pass (within reason, just keep proper breaking distance), but I just don't get those maniacs on my 6. It's not like I'm going anywhere.
