Ginevra Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'll go first. WHY is there *always* at least one, but most probably several, rubber bands lying about my living areas? If launching a rubber band is so much fun, wouldn't the fun continue if you go retrieve it? Ok. Your turn. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Why do I have the super power that I can make anyone in the house have a bowel movement by just having a bath. I once had the company of not one, not two, but three people pooping beside me while I was in the bath. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Why do I have 10 door dings in my 10 month old car? I don't park in skinny spots, I often park in the back lots. I make sure there is plenty of room on all sides. They are in the front and the back and on both sides, so it isn't just kids who are doing it to me, 3 of them are in the passenger side, front door (the other driver did the damage). My car is parked in employee parking at work, so there aren't a bunch of kids getting in and out of cars. It is a Subaru Outback in red. It isn't over sized. and you have to notice it is there! They show up at different stores, from Nordstrom, to the grocery store, to Ross. There really doesn't seem to be a norm. My old 10 year old car had 3. My husband's 14 year old car has 3. My son's 10year old car has 2. Why 10 in 10 months????? :confused1: :confused1: :confused1: :confused1: :confused1: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerileanne99 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Why is I that everyone in my family is incapable of locating anything when it is directly in front of them? I spend way too much time making sure very thing is in its place, and even when I direct my selectively blind family to the correct cupboard, closet, bin, whatever, they stare vacantly into the void and swear up and down that the item in question is simply not there. And then act utterly surprised when I retrieve it from heir direct line of site? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hungry family members will walk by that cookie 10 times a day and never eat it because "it's the last one". Sob..... :nopity: Send in the Cookie Liberation Unit!!!! I think I know the answer to this, because I have witnessed how it is when someone eats the last one. There arises an instant chorus of, "WHO ate ALL the cupcakes???" Somehow, whoever ate the last one ate them *all.* On a related note, dh especially never eats the last bit of nuts, raisens, dried fruit, etc. Why not? I swear, honey, the last six pistachios are going to taste just as good as the previous forty-seven. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 What is dip netting? I have never heard that term. When you use nets and buckets to pull creepy crawlies and slimy ickies out of the water. In this instance, the water didn't reach knees until nearly 10' from the shore. My THIRTEEN year old "fell in" deep enough to backstroke. Fully clothed. It's been a day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's as soon as I tell her to clean something up. Why am I the only one in my house capable of changing out the toilet paper when the roll is gone? It's not complicated and I'm thisclose to holding a mandatory workshop where I instruct everyone in detail on how to do it and make them all demonstrate their newfound skills to me. Why is it that when you're running late, you're sure to get behind someone who has absolutely no idea where he's going? Why is it that the one day I have back to back appointments booked all afternoon, my daughter forgets her laptop in the debate room and wanted me to turn around and go get it. Sorry kid, you're outta luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is likely the neighbor girls and that mom is wondering where they all went. LOL I had this issue with dd and socks when she was little. She played at the neighbors house who had 3 girls. The mom always said that she didn't end up with any mystery pairs when I would ask if any had showed up in in the laundry. I finally bought a permanent stamp with her name on it, and stamped all of her socks. They started finding their way home after that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my house, it is those little sticky tabs you use for book marks, marking a workbook page, etc...first of all, they are like $5.00/pack, which is what stops me from just getting, say, ten packs and calling it good. Second, where do they go??? It never fails. I can have my fingers spread through a book in three places, pull open a desk drawer and - again, no sticky tabs.
