I Just Don't Get It

There are so many things about people that I will never understand, too many to list really…

But I’m going to give it a shot anyway. These are not in any particular order and are far from complete:

1. The giant handle bars that some people put on their motorcycles

2. Beauty pageants…sorry scholarship events for children

3. Running a 100 miles for fun (I love my brother-in-law...but even he will admit to being a freak!)

4. Bigotry

5. Anti-Catholic sentiment among other Christian denominations

6. Dismissing slavery as a component of the Civil War.

7. Letting your underwear show…intentionally

8. Believing that sexual orientation is a choice

9. Piercing babies’ ears

10. Mooning people

11. Chewing gum

12. Atheists who don’t want you to believe in God either…why do they care?

13. People who hate NPR

14. People who watch The Real Housewives of …wherever

15. Civilians driving Hummers

16. Drivers who don’t signal

17. Smokers

18. People that are surprised and disappointed when politicians behave badly…I’m more surprised when they don’t!

19. Going to jail more than once….

20. Spending more than $100 on shoes

21. People that insist on brand-name clothing

22. Treating pets like children

23. Treating children like pets (I don’t know which is more confusing….)

24. One-uppers

25. The 97% posts on Facebook, “will you be the 3%? Then post this for an hour.”

26. Professional wrestling fans

27. Calling people who have to train for a 5K lazy

28. Hateful speech

29. Those without compassion

30. How anyone could dispute the “personhood” of an unborn baby

Exactly!!! Especially 6 and 14!

There are SO many on that list that confuse me too. But chewing gum? what about that don't you understand? I think for some people they always need to be doing something (nervous energy) and gum keeps some people for spinning in circles :)

I guess I don't like seeing partially masticated food flipping around in someones mouth or mashed on their back teeth.
