The official "I don't get it" thread

<p>Chewing tobacco!</p>

<p>Schmaltz

</p>

<p>LOL!!!</p>

<p>People who work at deli counters and want to touch cold cuts with the same gloves they used to open a door knob, slide open a case, and adjust their hair. YUCK!</p>

<p>Nurses and techs who want to treat a patient with the same gloves they used to touch fifty other things. Can you say “hospital acquired, antibiotic resistant infection”?</p>

<p>Gloves are to protect customers and patients - not just to protect you!</p>

<p>Lip injections - can I second that? Not to be mean or anything, but they are very obvious and rather than making women look hot, they actually make them look pathetic.</p>

<p>People who treat friends and acquaintances better than they treat their family</p>

<p>I don’t get people who back into parking spaces. Isn’t it easier and faster to back out of one?</p>

<p>Mustaches</p>

<p>Oreos - They’re like chocolatey cardboard with chemical icing</p>

<p>ponytails on people with bald spots</p>

<p>fake nails</p>

<p>Dancing with the stars</p>

<p>Las Vegas</p>

<p>I agree with the zipper feed. And I’ll let people in…but where I live a lot of people drive as far up the road as they can possibly go then force themselves into the lane, they don’t try to merge at any point until they absolutely have to.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Actually, it is a safety thing as well as for faster egress. It is safer to back in and pull out forward since you have better visibility of what is coming by.</p>

<p>Clothes shopping as entertainment. To me shopping is a dreadful chore. I could only imagine it being fun if I had all the money in the world to spend, the perfect body, and stores which always carried the styles, colors, and sizes I need.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I call these people get-in-fronters. My H is one. He must get in front of ALL the cars on the highway. When we get on I-95, he’s gonna be the first in line to Maine. Or Miami, it depends. </p>

<p>I still haven’t figured out why he’s a get-in-fronter on the Beltway. That road is a circle. </p>

<p>I don’t get it.</p>

<p>Doh! :eek:</p>

<p>On the SUV topic- women barreling into the Whole Foods parking lots in their huge Range Rovers, on their way home from yoga class, causing pedestrians to flee in all directions to avoid being road kill, so they (drivers) can get to their soothing algae smoothies.</p>

<p>Same women paying a fortune for organic food, but soaking their fingers in acetone and tuolene polish every week for a natural looking French manicure. (Ditto for carcinogenic hair dye.)</p>

<p>Wow, meeeeeeeow!!!</p>

<p>I saw a woman in an SUV talking on her cell while she was backing up. I’ve tried to think of a good reason she might have been doing this, and I can’t think of one.</p>

<p>Not so much meoww, just amazement at the avoidance of the realities of chemistry and forces of physics!</p>

<p>Speaking of lethal supermarket parking lots, I don’t get how people just don’t LOOK when backing out of parking spaces, or darting across lanes with their carts. Do these people want to get hit or do they think they are the only ones there? It’s safer driving on the freeway.</p>

<p>Texting while driving - I do not get it. Especially if the texting person is driving a cement truck :eek: Saw one of these on the freeway today.</p>

<p>Talking on the phone while actually using the bathroom.</p>

<p>Garnishing every single thing with parsley or the like. Some creamy things can do quite well without spiky green things to get stuck in your teeth.</p>

<p>Pretty soon, the definition of being uncoordinated will go from “He can’t walk and chew gum at the same time” to “he can’t text and go to the bathroom at the same time.”</p>

<p>Love this thread and so many funny responses!</p>

<p>Hmmm, what don’t I get?</p>

<p>People who don’t like chocolate.</p>

<p>People who don’t like coffee. </p>

<p>People who don’t like sweets.</p>

<p>All that Dancing with Stars and American Idol stuff…so glad to learn that I’m not the only one!</p>

<p>Gambling of any type…it makes me physically uncomfortable…that $$ could be spent on coffee or chocolate.</p>

<p>Basketball…every time they shoot, they score. Why bother playing more than two minutes or so? </p>

<p>I was going to say I don’t get you guys who don’t like soccer. Then I remembered that I too was indifferent at first before I fell hard. Now I can hardly look at any other sport.</p>

<p>Cricket…my IQ is far, far too low to understand what that’s all about.</p>

<p>Science fiction </p>

<p>Fantasy, though I’ve made a big promise to DD to read all the HP’s.</p>

<p>Raw oysters…quite sure I’d gag if I tried to “eat” one.</p>

<p>Golf…Augusta and Tiger et al make it look beautiful, but it seems really, really, really hard and it doesn’t burn any calories and it takes a really long time to play and it would be soooo embarrassing to try to hit that teensy ball in front of other people and miss it. </p>

<p>Speedos on men. Why would any man who is not a competitive swimmer/diver wear one of these? What could they be thinking?</p>

<p>Fake things like:
Fake crab. I won’t eat Krab with a K
Fake maple syrup
Fake Christmas trees
Fake fingernails
Fake cheese like those Velveeta slices wrapped in plastic
Fake tans</p>
