This is a question I just don't get it

Poor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.

What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

Women who have the nerve to complain about spending habbits
They'll gladly fork out £200 for a handbag, yet complain when us guys buy a playstation. Plus we only ever buy one playstation. Show me a woman with a handbag collection totalling less than 12 and I'll eat a small pony.

Dancing
Or more specifically, watching it.

I can understand people liking the music, the show, the atmosphere, whatever, but I just don't get why people like to watch disco dancing, ballroom dancing, or some such.
And Dance Fever, or whatever they call it. Reality TV and dancing. Why?

Why is it
that old people always have to shop when everyone else does. Surely they have all the time in the world to go shopping. Maybe they enjoy pissing people off by fumbling with money at the front of huge queue.

American cheese
Well... Americans who think American cheese is something to drool over. Face it your cheese resembles the dead skin scraped off the feet of a 90 year old woman and left overnight to marinade in toss.

I'm missing something utterly fundamental here, because I can just about manage the basics - drawing stuff - and beyond that I'm completely lost. It just seems so... illogical!

The ordering of these boards
Righto, I've been lurkin' for years, so here goes.

How do these boards work? They seem to be back to front AND upside down. Meaning, to get to the start I have to click through to (1) AND THEN scroll down? Madness.

My mind works from left to right / top to bottom. So reading these pages actually hurts. It brainaly hurts.

Also, after reading all the tom-foolery (backwards) I have the option to click LATEST. What does LATEST give me? A seemingly random selection of the previously read posts. Eh? To use a recently learned TLA – WTF?

I must be thick. But I simply try and get on with it, regardless of the devastating mental consequences.

Also, Women (obviously) – they often boast about their higher pain threshold enabling them to give birth etc. So how come they cry when we shout at them? … If only they would do as they were told…

Finally - and this took me a while - I think I'm there now...

"There are 10 types of people in the world, those who can count in binary and those who can't.'

Ringtones
I loathed all of the iritating mono-tone ringtones for ages, and them came polyphonic ringtones with could iritate you in 16 channels with 4 octaves. And now the most anoying sounds you cou could not possible imagine in your mortal brain are available as mp3 ringtones. And those dirty, thieveing chavs make you listen to it in its entirerity before they read their text message....Dirty chavs why dont they just phone it only costs 5p to phone someone to say 10 words without the vowels. And another thing about mp3 ITS NOT MPEG 3 its mpeg LAYER 3.

edit:I hate old people who complain because the easter eggs are in shops the day they open after christmas, my dad is a shop manager so he puts the cream eggs out chrsitmas eve just to piss them off.

Further WTf
please explain licking your finger to turn a page.

Again, did someone once use the paper for bank notes (which ARE NOT STICKY; see previous)so people, who relied on the stickiness to assist turning the page, had to moisten their finger tips to help out?

Help!

BTW If you have seen the Name of the Rose and you are like me and find this habit really annoying, you'll know what to do.

WTF
I am always puzzled why elderly people, when presenting a £20 note for their shopping, sort of "flick'n'rub" the note to see if there is 2 stuck together.
I say nothing but it has realy got me thinking.

I am closer to 40 than 30 and I do not remember at any time a national crisis involving sticky banknotes.

Please explain.

People Slagging off Christians
I don't get why people are allowed to slag off Christians.

Imagine all the trouble I'd get in if I said "I don't like Jews. They are weird and wrong" or "I can't understand why anyone would be Muslim. What a bunch of retards!"

I'm not Christian. I just think we should rip the piss out of EVERY religious person equally.

So a Jew, a Muslim, and a Baptist walk into a bar...

Wankers.

Lo, for I am one taco short of a combination platter
The UK education system — I've been here four and a half years, I've gone through a dozen or so job applications, and each time they ask me how many A-Levels I have or what my grade in my degree was, I just stare blankly and go "Um...I passed?"

If you spend so much time taking tests and getting grades, why do all the students I meet seem so bloody stupid?

Pizza
I don't get cheese and tomato or even worse plain cheese pizzas. What's the point? It's rubbish. Pizzas should always be topped to the maximum, or you may as well just have some cheese on toast.

Also I don't think Harry Hill is funny.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

fshingcat
Funnily enough I am a Christian. My experience of a Christian wedding was just that and also a friend of mine, though admittedly he is anti-religious in a major way, went to a Christian wedding and found everyone on J2O for the whole evening.

Sure, I made a generalisation, but one based on experience, as most of these posts are......

What I don't understand is some people's lack of tolerance for other people's opinions.

What's that I see? A can of worms opening?

Had some venison the other night. Saddle of venison to be exact.

Why do deer have a saddle? I just don't get THAT either. Even Jockeys are too big to ride the Bambi.
