This thread is dedicated to those things that always seem to happen or don't happen for some reason.

Like: Why are hairdressers always so interested in your holidays?

and: Why don't women urinate in wardrobes when they are
drunk?

finally: Why do Chinese chop-suey bar proprietors leap on you
before you've had a chance to scan down the menu
board and say 'woyewon?' abruptly?

/edit/
Why is there always a teaspoon at the bottom of the washing-up bowl when you empty the water out?

Why is it that women always dump "nice guys" for complete bas**ds?

And why doesn't somebody tell them that that make-up mirror is actually for keeping a check on the traffic behind?

And why is that you ALWAYS ge at least 3 Big Issue sellers or market researchers hassling you for your time or money when you're walking down Fargate?

Seriously I know these people are doing a job, but like, **** off! I don't want a market researcher asking me personal questions like how many times a day do I use the bathroom, and what brand of loo roll do I use when I do go to the loo?!

How come a woman can spot a blonde hair on you shoulder from the other side of a bedroom bathed by the light of a single 40 watt bulb, but they can't see the garage doors with the headlights full on from 6 feet?

Why is it that whenever a work colleague either says
"it's dragged today," or "It's flown today," you always agree?

Guess that means Martin is a nice guy, and we don't.

Why when you put something in a safe place is it so safe that you can't remember where it is?

Happens to me all the time that!

Why is it that if someone bumps into me in the supermarket, I always automatically apologise?

Because you are British

Brits are the only people who do that (I read it in an amusing travel guide)

How is it that people who phone you up to tell you that you have won a holiday or a free kitchen always do so when when you are cooking a meal? I mean. How do they know?

Why do they strategically place cash-dispenser machines so that the sun shines directly on the glass and you have to cup your hands around the read-out to see what it says?

Why is the thing that's been in the same place for the past 3 months mysteriously disappear the very same minute you need it?

When you finally find it why do people say 'it's always the last place you look' Well of course it is ya muppet. I'm not gonna carry on looking after I've found it am I. :loopy:

Unashemedly nicked from elsewhere....

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?

Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet? –Lily Tomlin

Why is it you must wait until night to call it a day?

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

Why is a boxing ring square?

Why do you feet smell and your nose runs?

If Superman is so smart why does he wear his underpants over his trousers?

Why doesn't the word 'phonetic' start with an 'f'?

...and if you drink drinks, why don't you food food?

....Why can only fish and iron be 'monged'?

Why do male call-handlers get a strop on about nothing?

If I check each pocket when I put stuff in the washer, WHY do paper tissues mysteriously appear and cause white fluff to cling to everything. Every bloody time one sneaks in there Grrrr. It's a phenomenom.

In the morning WHY do huge trucks know I'm coming and then drive in front of me. I drive past a concrete factory every morning and one pulls out without fail when I get near it. Of course they see me and pull out and proceed to drive less than the speed limit. I have no way of passing for about 10 miles.

Why is Sam Miguel's hovercraft full of eels?
Why don't the council provide an eels from hovercraft removal service?

Sam Miguel
25-01-2004, 12:04
Don't worry about it: I need those eels in my hovercraft. It's what keeps me sane.

Why is it that if you hear a particular record on the radio and you are straining your ears at he end to find out who the artist(s) is, the DJ knows this and winds you up by purposely not announcing it?

.... and why didn't girls look like that when I was at school?

Why is it that whenever you turn the tap on in the kitchen to get some water the jet hits the one spoon in the basin and spurts water everwhere drenching you and anyone else in a five mile radius!!!

Why oh why does the tiny screw from your glasses always turn completely invisible as soon as it works loose and falls out?

It's from a Monty Python scetch about a bloke with a phrase book with lots of crummy translations. The other one is too "I will not buy this record it is scratched" Not to mention the phrase "Fondle my buttocks" but no-one wanted that one on the end of their posts!

When you dial a wrong number why do they always answer?

Mosherchik
29-01-2004, 13:17
Im quite cheeky... :wink: ...I leave all the wrong number folks rambling away on the answering machine before I can be bothered to pick up and tell em :P
Our home phone number must be very similar to a dentists cos we reliably get frantic people coming up with all sorts of excuses as to why theyre not coming for their appointment!

I'd guess it's because you're probably an alien. Everyone else I know has grey fluff.

You still have a belly button though.

Why oh why do you only notice spelling mistakes after you've sent something to the printers, despite proofing the thing countless times before?
