Eternal Questions

Post: # 146869Post the.fee.fairy »

1. why is it that the more irritating the ringtone the louder the person in the train carriage has it set?

2. why is it that the more boring the conversation, the louder the aforementioned person has it?'

3. why is it that train companies still separate into classes?

Any more?

I take it you commute?

4. Why do people sit in the middle lane of the motorway when the inside lane is free? :angryfire: They should be made to resit their test.

5. Don't get me started on Health & Saftey rules at work. :angryfire: I was informed recently to log a papercut in the incident book. :cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing:

Why does the smoke from a bonfire that you have just lit always follow you round no matter which way the wind is blowing? :roll:

Why does the weather turn thoroughly wet every year on the day that I plant out my onions on allotment?

Then stop planting your onions on the day the schools break up for holiday. :lol:

Why do white cat hairs only cling to black trousers?

Why do cats decide they don't like the food you give them only when you have bought a brand new extra large bag of the stuff?

Why can you never find a tissue when you have a runny nose but always find one in the washing machine when you've got a dark load on?

11. Why, when you finally get to sit down at the computer, can you never remember what it was you were going to look up?

12. Why do we wake up early on the days we can sleep in, and oversleep on the days we have to get up?

13. And another thing! Why is there always something to stop you going to the allotment when the weather's nice, but nothing at all to stop you when it's raining?

15. Why do the weeds in the garden thrive SO well on neglect, and yet the 'real' plants need so much care.... and then fail anyway?

16. Why does my granddaughter think it's funny to call me on the phone, then ignore me to play with her furby... and why do I end up TALKING to said furby........ :oops:
The more people I meet, the more I like my garden :wink:

Eek! You've just given me flash-backs to my teens when BF-of-the-time would ring me at work with nothing to say. I'd just be sat there listening to silence. Then, when I said I have to go he sulked at me. :? And other times when I rang my mother and she'd give me a comentary of what was on the TV at the time. :sleepy4: She always complained that people rang her when she was watching TV - which she did every evening from 6:30pm. I would actually check the TV guide and try to pick a time when there was nothing on of interest to her (although she'd be watching it anyway). If anyone rang during the day, she complained because it was always as she was about to go out/just got in/making a meal/eating a meal. If no-one rang, she got upset. :banghead:

Carrying on from Rosie's post....

17. Why does Andy's mum always complain that he never calls her - and that she's always lonely, but whenever he DOES call her, all he hears is 'Welcome to BT's 1571.....' :roll:
The more people I meet, the more I like my garden :wink:

26. Why, when you hair is short does it grow so quickly, yet when you want to grow your hair long it grows really, really slowly? :scratch:

Why does my OH think I'm nuts for giggling in front of the computer at 7.30 in the morning - only to go into convulsions when he asks if its about chickens!
