More Whys

Ok, kids. It’s time for another edition of “whys.” Just set your mind to the tune of “Why” by Jadakiss.

Why do slow people pull out in front of speeding traffic only to drive 10 miles under the speed limit and risk getting killed?

Why are other drivers afraid to pull the trigger (so to speak) and actually DRIVE the car? It pisses me off severely to be riding along and have to wait for 20 minutes because one car appears to be five miles back. Pull out and go already before we’re 90 years old.

Why is it that sometimes in a dinner setting with multiple people involved there are people at the table who want to be inside everyone else’s plate? Why is this? Unless you are at an eating contest, it’s not a competition, it’s a meal. Get your eyes on your own plate and off of mine. If you want to know what I’m eating, read the menu. I’m not Chef Ramsay and I ain’t here to give you an ingredient by ingredient breakdown. It gets me irate when I feel eyes on me and I look over and someone is all inside my plate. Eat your own meal.

Why do people show up eating Cheetos and Corn Nuts to an event where they were asked to dress nicely? A friend of mine sent me this article from the NY Post about the appearances of people who attended Ted Kennedy’s funeral. It made me think of Vladimir’s comment about the attire of people at the America’s Got Talent taping: “America may have talent but it clearly has no style.” http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/schlub_nation_fYpJenA16enWgiZA4LLBZJ

Why is it that the people in your life who have the least to do seem to cause the most drama and the most commotion. Easy answer: because they don’t have enough to do and they are not willing to find productive things to do on their own.

Why is there a man at my workplace who takes a baptism in the same old-fashioned cologne every single morning? You can smell him from the front door to the back door and along every hallway he’s traversed. Even for a perfume/cologne lover like myself, this is way too much.

Why is it that when some jackass with a very loud engine decides to go out for a drive at 2am, he seems to drive extra slow so as to wake up every single person in the neighborhood? It’s even more salt on the wounds when the jackass has a blaring stereo on top of the loud engine.

Why advertise a product and then act like you don’t know what the customer is talking about? I had this experience at Taco Bell whilst trying to order one of those new burritos and the cashier acted like I was making the product up out of thin air. Meanwhile, there was a giant sticker for it on both the window and the menu behind the guy. If someone tells me I can get an entire meal wrapped into one tortilla for $1.99, yes, I am going to try it. So don’t advertise what you can’t make.

Why can’t the Labor Day holiday weekend be extended to 4 days? I mean, legitimately, not in the way that fakers call in to get the extra day. On that note, if you haven’t heard the edition of Real American Heroes about “Mr. Calls in Sick before a Long Holiday Weekend,” you should listen to it. I heard it Friday and again this morning and had a good laugh. I managed to find a link to it from another station here: http://www.whnn.com/Article.asp?id=1479939&spid=23494. Skip to about one minute in and you’ll hear it.
