I consider myself a reasonably intelligent and caring person, open to new ideas, non-judgmental and a variety of other adjectives. I see and hear things that make me go, “hmmm,” and I see and hear things that make me go, “what?”
And then there are things that make me produce the expression on Steve Harvey’s face above.
Things like this:
What’s up with this? Is this necessary? It’s demoralizing for dogs. Stop it already.
Why do pretty girls do this to themselves? I have nothing against tattoos, but seriously? Look at her, she’s gorgeous. Why?
Call me crazy, but putting a hitch on a Corvette is asinine, sacrilegious, stupid.
I’ll never understand this. One does not counter balance the other.
This one you don’t see too much any more (thank God), but . . . what was the point of this? “Look I have a string up my butt.” Not sexy in my opinion. Not sexy at all.
You’re spending a lot of money, buy the whole pair of jeans, not the left over rags. Again, not sexy. And with heels on top of it. (shaking head)
And this – this is my most annoying “I just don’t get it” thing. I mean, what? Is that even comfortable? Certainly not safe. I’m getting really tired of seeing this. Pull up your damn pants.
So there you go, the things I can’t explain and don’t understand.
What don’t you “get” dear readers? Anything that confounds you? Any theories on the above scenarios that might clear up the issue for me?
Word of the day: Zeatin
Fun fact about me: I always look forward to seeing the comments on my blog. Keep ’em coming.

I’m shaking my head again as I open this blog this morning. Why? Why? Why? Oh well, as my mother used to say, “It takes all kinds.”
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’re feeling good today.

Why do people do the things they do? It’s like an unsolved mysteries show. And all those guys who lower their pants down to their thighs seriously make me want to pants ’em.

Yes – pants ’em. What’s even funnier is the guys who have their asses hanging out but they’ve got the front of their pants clenched in their hands as they walk around. Cuz, if they let go, those drawers are gonna fall victim to gravity and tangle around their ankles. It makes no sense.
But, yes, an unsolved mysteries episode for sure.
I hope things are well for you in Oregon. Good to see you.

So with you on these! Another became obvious when I went shopping with my daughter last summer: 90% of the tops in her size were see-through fabrics. She couldn’t figure it out. “Who wears these?” she kept asking. Sure, you can wear a tank or cami underneath, but still… limited places where they’d be appropriate. smh.

Yeah – what’s up with that too? I mean, I have a few sheer tops and lace tops that I layer up with tanks and camis, but why everything? And all those clingy fabrics, too. Sheesh. I guess we have Hollyweird to thank for these clothing “trends.”
Here’s to the loose-fitting cotton-top wearing gals! Have a great week Jennette.

I agree with you on all of them, Patricia. I think maybe they’ve been putting the zeatin in their own food instead of feeding it to their plants. A time or two, I seen the ‘low rider’ pants boys trip on their own belts. Good enough for them. I guess my favorite peeve among those you listed is pretty girls/women with tatoos. WHY?

When I was growing up, tattoos were for sailors, pipeline workers and convicts. I don’t see the appeal.

That’s right about the sailors and convicts. Remember Popeye?

I love that some guy tripped over his own stupidity – I mean pants. Justice. Yeah, I don’t get the entire body tats. One or two tasteful tattoos I can handle, but the full sleeves and colored necks, no thank you. I don’t like it guys either.
Good for you for putting the word of the day to use my friend.

Ha ha, a great Monday chuckle. I must admit, I tend to wear rose colored glasses and only notice and acknowledge the things I like. I’m not sure whether I was born this way or it’s a learned skill…

Good for you Sheila. I have an eye for the oddities I guess. Keep those rose-colored glasses on. Nothing wrong with seeing the good.
Thanks for visiting today.

I’ve missed you Coleen – welcome back! I’m glad you look up the word of the day as well. Makes me feel like I’m somehow contributing to the world in a positive way. Thanks for that.
And, yes, please keep your pants pulled up around your waists. Sheesh.
