When Silly Things Happen Around Us
I thought a subject like this would raise a few giggles. When we find little things around us each day that occur it gets us thinking 'How on earth does it do that'. You'll get what I'm saying when I give some fine but yet simple examples. I hope you also share some fascinating facts you come across Here are my 3 examples to kick off :
1) When you have scatter cushions on your sofa, how come the zipper/buttons always end up facing upwards?
2) Why does the phone ring or someone knock at the door when you're in the bathroom?
3) How does that little teaspoon always end up in the wash- up bowl despite having a dishwasher?
Join along peeps if you can think of anything

Great thread!
I have one, why is it that when you are watching TV and a show comes on that you hate the remote is ALL THE WAY across the room?

Thanks
I know that feeling with losing the remote When asking someone where it is the answer is always the same "Think where you were when you last saw it".
Well, if I knew that I'd go and get it! lol!
Another one is, when you've washed the car it nearly always rains! afterwards
Why does toast always end butter-side down when it's dropped on the floor?

Re: When Silly Things Happen Around Us
So you're waiting for a phone call-need to do things like:
vacuum
take a shower (meaning shampooing etc..)
Run down to the washer/dryer
Run out to a store - back in 15 minutes
What happens?
Didn't hear the call with vacuum running
Call comes in when you are full of shampoo in shower
Miss call while at the washer or store
NEVER fails
So you wait a little longer-the time goes by and all you think is-I could have done this and that and STILL when you decide to go ahead and do these things
THAT PHONE RINGS UGH!

At work in the break room for the employees, there's a note on one of the microwaves that says: " If the microwave doesn't work, slam the door!"

Yes that is hilarious midangerous, I can just vision it Getting an anger moment because the microwave won't work is quite enough to make one slam the door
It's like being the one to fill that blasted empty kettle. Everyone hates the job of having to fill it, I don't know why lol.............it's only a matter of holding the kettle under the tap and turning it.

ICE CUBE TRAYS!!! (drives me crazy when I AM the only filler of the TRAY!)
EMPTY ice cream carton-milk carton-juice bottles!
You go to the fridge-open it with that bowl of cereal in hand needing milk-NO MILK!
Waiting ALL week to treat self with the ice cream YOU bought-you know - the no sugar no fat kind that NOBODY else likes - GONE!! But the container is still there making you believe that it is still waiting for you lol

Re: When Silly Things Happen Around Us
Admin LMAO!! yes!! I can relate to that or very similar.
Last week I had a part two of a dinner I'd made from the night before which was waiting for me in the fridge. Looking forward to it after a busy day, I was famished when I got home only to discover my husband had eaten it............. woah Not a happy bunny was I !!.. Anyway..hubby has a sweety/chocolate drawer in the cabinet so the following day I helped myself to those provisions
I didn't speak to him for 2 days

Re: When Silly Things Happen Around Us
Speaking of brown paper bags and food here's another great way to use them- just a tip lol- capricious your comment made me think of this :p
The only memory I have of my great-grandmother on my dad's mom's side is when she told me when I was like four years old that when she was in her 20s, she and her husband used to hide stacks of cash in brown paper bags in her freezer that said "chicken breasts: expiration date (a date from like a year ago)" and I just thought that it was the coolest thing ever lol. Pro-tip everyone

Re: When Silly Things Happen Around Us
LMAO! IJCSLuMJ. What is it with men! eating our leftover meals!???? None of it makes sense particularly when they have their own chosen food items. Our freezer is packed mainly of my husband's favourite items including very well stoked units. I don't eat the sh!t he likes, see. Whereas I'm more on the vegetarian side and salads etc. I just don't know why he polished off mine Bags are a great thought but nothing stops my hubby being curious LOL.
They never hoover up their crumbs either. Plates galore! in the kitchen, but NO.......... they prefer their hands!

Re: When Silly Things Happen Around Us
Lol WATW!!
URGH I know men will eat just about ANYTHING you put in front of them! When we go to my grandparents house for dinner you have to get all the food you want before my grandpa inhales it all! My mom and I actualy have a cabnet in my bathroom where we hide our snacks (M&Ms, snack cakes, ect.) He doesn't know a thing LOL! But I'm like you I'm more of a vegetarian so he loks at me funny when I only eat rice of mixed vegetables for dinner lol.

There's this little sign outside a Baptist Church I drive by every time I go to work and it says this: "Whoever's praying for snow, PLEASE stop!"

That's hilarious midangerous I love to see those notices. Same as writing you see on works vans that haven't seen a car wash for months. Someone will write funny things on the back doors. The most hilarious one I saw was when somebody wrote :: I wish my wife was this dirty::
LOL!
LOL!

Re: When Silly Things Happen Around Us
Why is it that when you're one of the few people at your school who has to wake up excessively early to go to college (basically) for a few hours before being at the high school at 12 noon they decide to cancel school 5 minutes after you make up! Even though you woke up late purposely expecting no school because it was snowing and freezing raining/hailing since 6 last night. They didn't call it until 5:45- THE MINUTE I STEPPED IN THE SHOWER (2nd time this has happened this week). They really have no consideration for us Governor's school kids I know this is going to sound arrogant but we start school almost an hour before everyone else and we do the most extracurriculars along with the many many hours of college homework and papers and projects we have to do, let alone the AP homework we have for the high school. The least you could do, school system, is let us sleep- call school the night before if you know you're gonna cancel!

Re: When Silly Things Happen Around Us
Sounds like they do it purposely just to get students out of bed I'd be pissed off too particularly as it's a chance for a much needed nap-in.

Oh gee WATW! Now that's a real pain in the behind! I always disliked doing school, and that would probably add to the aggravation for me if I was in a situation like that.
