<p>Well, I didn’t mean people who can’t but would. I meant people who could, but don’t.</p>
<p>
I called S “Grasshopper” the other day when sharing a wise saying and he “didn’t get it”.</p>
<p>Don’t get:</p>
<p>Why skinny people who have never struggled with their weight feel justified in condemning overweight people. If they are skinny but used to be fat, then they have room to talk; otherwise they might consider that they don’t understand the monumental struggle it is to lose weight. I met a lady at the gym the other day who had gone from a size 18 to a size 4 in 2 years. To keep her weight down to that, she has to work out a lot (when I saw her she was wearing a weight vest) and pretty much only eats chicken, fish, vegs, and brown rice. Do “normal” skinny people have that kind of lifestyle? I’ll bet the lady I met won’t be condemning any fat people.</p>
<p>(I do get what you meant, pageturner.

<p>Because someone mentioned baseball caps earlier, I don’t get the wear the baseball cap backwards thing. I think it’s ugly, but obviously I’m out of the fashion-sense loop.;)</p>
<p>(If you don’t like the bill, why did you buy a cap of that style?) <em>shrugs</em></p>
<p>i heard that wearing baseball caps can cause hair loss</p>
<p>i don’t get boxing, pro wrestling, cage fighting</p>
<p>i don’t get harem pants</p>
<p>i don’t get crocs</p>
<p>I don’t get hunting</p>
<p>I don’t get miniature dogs</p>
<p>People who don’t appreciate food and view it purely as a necessity, like air. I find great joy in flavors and textures, as well as the social aspect of a sharing a meal. But I know people who just grab a bite of whatever as they run from one thing to the next, and don’t seem to mind. I don’t get that.</p>
<p>Guys who wear their sunglasses upside down and backward on their baseball caps, which are also turned around backward. </p>
<p>Woody Allen and Pink Panther movies.</p>
<p>Left lane hogs on the interstate driving slower than the flow of traffic (especially when there’s only two lanes). After a few cars have passed on the right, move over for the safety of everyone on the road. Also, tailgaters and weavers on the interstate.</p>
<p>Pork rinds.
Watching golf on TV.
Beauty pageants.
Those TV shows where each side yells at each other and no one listens.
Women who shave off their eyebrows then paint them back in.
Any sit-com so lame it has to use a laugh track to tell you where the funny bits are supposed to be.
Movies that confuse sex with real love.</p>

<p>You mean like the CC political forum?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Unfortunately, pretty much all political discussions anymore.</p>
<p>I don’t get:</p>
<p>That $200 used to be a lot to spend on a handbag (my first Coach bag was a HUGE splurge) and now $500 and even $1200 purses are everywhere…</p>
<p>Snuff (I mean, gross. G-R-O-S-S.)</p>
<p>People not captivated by the wonder that is Harry Potter…</p>
<p>People who don’t read…there are more than I used to think…</p>
<p>Why people in Australia get so much vacation…isn’t living in Australia LIKE a vacation anyway?</p>
<p>Paying thousands of dollars for medicine/surgery/physical therapy/chemotherapy for old/sick pets…</p>
<p>I love all the little countries marching in the Olympics though…and if they did it in Crocs, so much the better.</p>

<p>Right on…or the people who have elaborate kitchens complete with Viking or Sub zero appliances and don’t use them ( other than to store the Lean Cuisines )</p>
<p>Skinny people who whine about being fat.</p>
<p>I was just reminded me of something I don’t get - Harry Potter.</p>
<p>I don’t get the hype about HP and Twilight either. Must be a teenage girl thing.</p>
<p>I don’t get why some women have multiple purses (it is a pain in the tush to move purse contents from one bag to another!)</p>
<p>To go with the outfit. Even I know that.</p>
<p>Speaking of outfits, I don’t get pastel colors. Especially mint green. Ugh.</p>
<p>I don’t get those new gladiator style sandals. Or those boots with open toes. </p>
<p>I don’t get people who go to the beach and never go in the water. I’d be bored out of my mind. What is the appeal of baking in the sun all day?</p>
<p>I don’t get family outings with young children on bicycles. The parents look stressed out and the kids look terrified.</p>
<p>I don’t get how people don’t feel stupid walking around talking on their cellphone with that blue tooth thing in their ear. They look like they’re ranting to themselves.</p>
<p>I don’t get “gym culture”.</p>
<p>I think I’m on a roll.</p>
<p>mousegray, I don’t get those gladiator boots/sandals either! Although maybe for some die-hard boot fan in Phoenix they might be an option, but die-hard boot fans wear Doc Martens :D.</p>
<p>barrons - one bag (neutral color or multi-colored one) can match an infinite number of outfits, since Clinton says it doesn’t have to match the shoes!</p>
<p>I don’t get tags/labels on clothes that used to be on the inside, and are now stitched onto the outside of the garment.</p>
<p>I don’t get people who visit clothing optional beaches and complain about the nudity.</p>
<p>I don’t get the “value” of import products that require frequent replacement.</p>
<p>I don’t get the person who has to have the “newest” technology (car, washing machine, appliance) as soon as the first models hit the showroom, and then complain about the “bugs” and recalls. I also don’t get the rush to market mentality that allows manufacturers to continue to do this.</p>
<p>I don’t get why the rise in the market price of oil immediately effects the price at the pump, whereas a reduction in price takes weeks to have an effect.</p>
<p>Mousegray, the bike thing CAN be a fun thing for the family , as long as they have what they need and not a little one on training wheels ( it is what I do for a living )</p>
<p>I don’t get rodents or reptiles as pets.</p>
<p>I don’t get cigarette boats…or people who buy boats without a clue of etiquette and safety.</p>
<p>I don’t get gambling .</p>
<p>I don’t get men in speedos , unless competitive swimming or diving.</p>
<p>Definitely No 1-boys who sag! (including my own flesh and blood)</p>
<p>Boys who wear their baseball cap sideways</p>
<p>Boys who have both ears pierced and huge fake diamond earrings</p>
<p>Fake drawn on eyebrows</p>
<p>Lip piercings</p>
<p>Teenage girls who feel the need to text every waking minute</p>
<p>smoking</p>
<p>men who stand around smoking their cigars who are are unaware of those sitting a few feet away</p>
<p>Hair stylists who stand all day in 5 inch high heels</p>
