Things that confuse you (???)


Coming hot on the heels of Sweetie Pie's excellent thread "Things that annoy you", we now have a new one.

What baffles you? However hard you try you cannot understand it?

It can be about personal things which never seem to make sense or something in the news or whatever.
What do you find unbelievable in life?

One for starters:
Why is milk always at the far end of the supermarket?

It could be because it's what fit healthy happy people drink and they can walk that far or it's nearest the cow shed.

I get confused a lot in supermarkets especially by the self service tills.If you are doing the work of a checkout chick why don't you get a discount???

I'm thinking it's because, along with bread (also at the back of the store) that it's the most necessary item people need. They have to go past everything else, filling their trollies on the way. Good business sense there!

With you about the self-service checkouts mate, although I get a 10% discount 'cos my wife works at Tesco. Some you win....

Nothing. I’m just not good at it.
Don’t worry I have other examples of things that confuse me.
Like why do we call it a pair of underwear when there’s only one.

Hmmm speaking in front of a class or group of people horrifies me and I couldn't do it. I hate all those eyes looking at me in quizzical anticipation lol.

The underwear issue is a strange one. I dunno.

Hi

The price of coffee and a cake in some places.

How can they justify it?

Time!

Some days - especially of you are waiting for something/someone - it moves very slowly.

Other days - you blink and three hours have totally disappeared!
