<p>Local breaking news - we have it at every news slot, but guess what it really happened hours ago</p>
<p>Severe weather alerts by you guessed it our local news - severe weather in a 3 state radius will prempt tv for four hours and we will not see a drop of rain. But other times you will swear a tornado is bearing down and the weather folks and their doplar two zillion will have missed it.</p>
<p>Free Credit Report commercials - can’t stand the whole crew and I no longer feel sorry for you.</p>
<p>Summer television - there is nothing on any of our 300 stations worth watching</p>
<p>Dell - they have shorted me ink 2 times in a row.</p>
<p>telemarketing: why should I buy something from you after you interrupted whatever I was doing and invaded my personal space. Junk mail I can deal with.</p>
<p>pop up ads: same reason as above.</p>
<p>non water soluble stickers or glue on food contact/prep items such as cookware. If on a pot or pan, at least put it on the bottom where it can burn off.</p>
<p>People who think Sarah Jessica Parker is attractive.
People who buy 10 Chicken McNuggets for $3.64 when you can get four for a dollar.
I can get liking the Renaissance Festival–but I can’t get living it.</p>
<p>What I don’t get is – Air Conditioning. Just everywhere. </p>
<p>I could be wrong, but isn’t expensive to refrigerate every public place like a meat locker? Why do I have to freeze at the mall, movie theaters and grocery stores? When I say to managers “it is freezing in here” they say it feels fine to them, and next time I should bring a sweater. Okay, it’s true, I am not encased in blubber, I am thin/normal. But it is summer! It’s supposed to be warm. </p>
<p>I don’t get why grocery stores do not cover their cold bins and shelves, with clear plastic or doors. They would save so much in energy costs/consumption, don’t you think?</p>
<p>Further, I really don’t get why, not sure when this trend started, people can’t wheel their grocery carts back to the store. People leave carts all over parking lots. When did we get so lazy?</p>
<p>I don’t get why the banquettes and chairs in some restaurants are so low. I am of average height, but in some restaurants, my chin is practically at the level of the table.</p>
<p>I don’t get the appeal of loud motorcycles or car stereos. What is that about? </p>
<p>And I’m with soozievt, I don’t get the appeal of owning a handgun.</p>
<p>Thanks! This is fun.</p>
<p>(going to have eyebrow mole removed next week, thanks for reminder that I look like a Halloween fright :))</p>
<p>Hear, hear! It’s ridiculous. Once I went to an all day continuing ed class in the city and I had to go buy a sweatshirt at lunch time I was so miserable.</p>
<p>Don’t care if women wear thongs (although they seem awfully uncomfortable) but what I DON’T get is why they like them exposed…pants that come below the thong line and top stops way above the muffin top (or not). I mean, if the whole idea is no visible panty LINE why do we need a visible thong strap??? Don’t get it. Its called “underwear” for a reason. I used to teach high school and would tell the girls that and they thought I was A. funny and B. kidding. I was not. Sigh.</p>
<p>It is very hard, but it gets easier with practice. As to the burning calories…I always lost weight when I played golf in high school. I would average a good 10-15 pounds per season.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s a guilty pleasure. VERY guilty.</p>
<p>I don’t get reality TV either.</p>
<p>I also don’t get:</p>
<p>-Wearing a sweatshirt at college with the name of a different college on it.
-Listening to music in your car at such a volume that it sets off alarms of other cars. I mean I like to blast it every once in a while, but that seems a little extreme to me.</p>
<p>Vanity license plates that tell me what car you’re driving. I can see what kind of car you are driving so you don’t need to put it on your license plate.</p>
<p>People who put bumper stickers on the paint of their car. Are they just clueless as to what they’re doing to their car’s finish and value or do they just not care?</p>
<p>People who put political bumper stickers on their cars. Do they really think their sticker is going to ‘convert’ anyone or cause more people to vote? And aren’t they just inviting someone to key their car if they don’t like the sticker? </p>
<p>And related to the above - the planting of political signs all over the place when an election is coming up. Has anyone here decided who to vote for based on seeing some sign with nothing on it but a candidate’s name?</p>
<p>I don’t get middle-aged men who enjoy posting borderline inappropriate or just-plain-ol’ inappropriate content on a forum intended for a mixed audience of college applicants and their parents and who never miss an opportunity to turn any and all discussions to sex and/or nudity and public scandals involving anything sexual in nature. I suppose they think it makes them look “cool” or “hip” or “young at heart,” but in reality, it conveys more of a sense of desperation for attention.</p>
<p>People who need to, but do not bleach their teeth. Yellow or dingy teeth are not OK! Decent products can be purchased over-the-counter if cosmetic dentistry is too costly.</p>
<p>Parents who can afford to buy their kids with crooked teeth braces, but don’t.</p>
<p>People who need facials but don’t get them. People who need to do more plucking, but don’t. Basically, everyone over the age of 40 has to get a very strong magnification mirror to police gross things which may need to be addressed.</p>
<p>Parents who send elementary children to school without a DAILY bath or shower (and clean clothes). Adults and fellow students will be in close proximity with your little darling all day long, and would like him or her to smell clean.</p>
<p>Teenagers who do not stay on top of their acne issues. At least keep the white or black visuals in check (pizza, anyone?)</p>
