Things Other People Do That You Just Don't Understand (1 Viewer)

[trogg78]

Parents just don't understand

You know parents are the same no matter time nor place

They don't understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes

So to you, all the kids all across the land

There's no need to argue, parents just don't understand

I remember one year

My mom took me school shopping

It was me, my brother, my mom, oh, my pop, and my little sister

All hopped in the car

We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall

MY mom started bugging with the clothes she chose

I didn't say nothing at first

I just turned up my nose

She said, "What's wrong? This shirt cost $20"

I said, "Mom, this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar!"

The next half hour was the same old thing

My mother buying me clothes from 1963

And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate

I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips!

I said, "Mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep"

She said, "You're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet"

I said, "Mom, let's put these clothes back, please"

She said "no, you go to school to learn not for a fashion show"

I said, "This isn't Sha Na Na, come on Mom, I'm not Bowzer

Mom, please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers

But if you don't want to I can live with that but

You gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks"

She wasn't moved - everything stayed the same

Inevitably the first day of school came

I thought I could get over, I tried to play sick

But my mom said, "No, no way, uh-uh, forget it"

There was nothing I could do, I tried to relax

I got dressed up in those ancient artifacts

And when I walked into school, it was just as I thought

The kids were cracking up laughing at the clothes Mom bought

And those who weren't laughing still had a ball

Because they were pointing and whispering

As I walked down the hall

I got home and told my Mom how my day went

She said, "If they were laughing you don't need them,

Cause they're not good friends"

For the next six hours I tried to explain to my Mom

That I was gonna have to go through this about 200 more times

So to you all the kids all across the land

There's no need to argue

Parents just don't understand

Oh-kay, here's the situation

My parents went away on a week's vacation and

They left the keys to the brand new Porsche

Would they mind?

Umm, well, of course not

I'll just take it for a little spin

And maybe show it off to a couple of friends

I'll just cruise it around the neighborhood

Well, maybe I shouldn't

Yeah, of course I should

Pay attention, here's the thick of the plot

I pulled up to the corner at the end of my block

That's when I saw this beautiful girlie girl walking

I picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talking

You should've seen this girl's bodily dimensions

I honked my horn just to get her attention

She said, "Was that for me?"

I said, "Yeah"

She said, "Why?"

I said, "Come on and take a ride with a helluva guy"

She said, "How do I know you're not sick?

You could be some deranged lunatic"

I said, "C'mon toots - my name is the Prince =

Beside, would a lunatic have a Porsche like this?"

She agreed and we were on our way

She was looking very good and so was I, I must say - word

We hit McDonald's, pulled into the drive

We ordered two Big Macs and two large fries with Cokes

She kicked her shoes off onto the floor

She said, "Drive fast, speed turns me on"

She put her hand on my knee, I put my foot on the gas

We almost got whiplash, I took off so fast

The sun roof was open , the music was high

And this girl's hand was steadily moving up my thigh

She had opened up three buttons on her shirt so far

I guess that's why I didn't notice that police car

We're doing ninety in my Mom's new Porsche

And to make this long story short - short

When the cop pulled me over I was scared as hell

I said, "I don't have a license but I drive very well, officer"

I almost had a heart attack that day

Come to find out the girl was a twelve-year-old runaway

I was arrested, the car was impounded

There was no way for me to avoid being grounded

My parents had to come off from vacation to get me

I'd rather be in jail than to have my father hit me

My parents walked in

I got my grip, I said, "Ah, Mom, Dad, how was your trip?"

They didn't speak - I said, "I want to plead my case"

But my father just shoved me in the car by my face

That was a hard ride home, I don't know how I survived

They took turns - one would beat me while the other was driving

I can't believe it, I just made a mistake

Well parents are the same no matter time nor place

So to you all the kids all across the land

Take it from me, parents just don't understand

Face painters at sporting events or any event, especially adults. I've never understood the appaeal of putting all of that #### on your face just to look like a tool. A hat and/or a jersey is enough for me.

[Das Boot]

Grown adults waiting in line for mediocre free food. We get crappy bagels here at work every friday and people get all excited when they arrive. If I really wanted a bagel, I'd go buy a good one. I'm not in college anymore. I can spare a few bucks.

We get complimentary pretzels once a year at work from our building owner.

Pretzel guy: And we have 18 different toppings. We have sweet glaze, cinnamon sugar, chocolate, white chocolate, fudge, M&M's, caramel dip, mint chip, chocolate chip, marshmallow, nuts, toffee nuts, coconuts, peanut butter drizzle, Oreos, sprinkles, cotton candy bits, and powdered sugar.

Michael: Is there anyway that you could do all, all of them?

Pretzel guy: The Works. You got it

---

It was the first thing I thought of when I read that post too.

Announcer: Attention Scranton Business Park, there will be complimentary pretzels in the lobby from now until 4 o'clock as a thank you to our loyal tenants.

Pam: Once a year they bring in a little cart and they give away free pretzels. It's really not a big deal. To some people it is.

Michael: Productivity is important but how can I be productive if I have this one little thing in my brain? That I cannot get out. And that one little thing is a soft pretzel. So I'm just going to have my soft pretzel, then I'll get to work, and I'll be super productive. Look out for me.

So to summarize, Fresh Prince had an unfortunate trip to the mall where his mom got him some pretty crappy clothes that he had to dress in and then was subsequently made fun of for in school.

Then his rich black parents who own a Porsche went out of town and left a 15 y.o. unsupervised, and Prince took the vehicle out and found a 12 year old who apparently was well developed for her age both physically and sexually. Then went through a McDonald's in a Porsche because apparently they didn't realize that next door there was a custom burger shop that serves fresh beef and didn't even have a line, and then he was pulled over after speeding and his parents proceeded to beat him.

Smokers: I will never understand why it is so hard to dispose of your damn butts instead of throwing them out your car, in the parking lot, etc.. Also will never get how in this day and age somebody could still light up with a kid in the car. Still see this all the time.

How in the #### did I forget this one? THIS. I hate nothing more than being behind a smoker and just KNOWING that at some point, he's going to just flick his cancer stick out the window. I usually do the exaggerated swerve around it and flash my lights. I've had one go into the back seat of my Jeep once. I got into it with a guy on another message board about this years ago. He claimed he did it because, he "didn't want to mess up his car or ash tray because it hurt resale." Nice job guy. F the rest of the world and the way your car smells, my ash try is clean!

I hate this. I wish cops actually gave tickets for this, but I've seen someone do it right in front of a cop several times with no issue. Cig butts ARE trash.

 

[dschuler]

People that lease vehicles. Never done it before, but it seems like a waste of money.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

why people go to catholic church.

We went Catholic for the architecture. All the Baptists and Evangelicals with their warehouses and drywall and emotion can suck it. Give me flying buttresses every time.

And some of the coolest stained glass windows you will ever see.

 

[Al O'Pecia]

Because I'm on the way to one right now...

I don't understand open casket wakes and funerals. It can be freaky for adults and downright frightening for kids. Then you always have some old great aunt who says something of the deceased like, "Doesn't she look great?"

"Ummmh, no, she looks dead."

Oh, really good one. My Aunt didn't want an open casket so my dad didn't do it at the wake, but he had a private viewing for immediate family before the funeral as if I really want to see a dead person. I personally am not into wakes in general. Its either I'm really sad that the person passed so I really don't want to be in a room filled with a bunch of people while I'm grieving or I really don't care that the person has passed so I don't want to be in a room filled with a bunch of grieving people.

People that insist on walking thru the door you're walking through (opposite direction) when there are 2 doors present.

In a similar vein, people who immediately start to get on an elevator as people are trying to get off.

There are safe ways to swerve...? I'm not yanking it into oncoming traffic or anything. Just clearly altering my path to not hit his butt.

Unless you're down with lemonade and cake.

One of my high school friends kind of left the flock a bit and got converted by the future wife's crazy baptist family. There was still enough of a connection at that point that we made up his groomsmen. We got yelled at at the rehearsal, we got yelled at at the rehearsal dinner, we got yelled at in the parking lot pre-wedding (priest threatened to call it off because he thought the groom was drinking a beer, which he was), and the morning after, where all the events were recapped by her insane ######## step-father in an attempt to shame us. I've never seen a grown man so angry while being laughed at. Enough was enough at that point. He was like a cartoon character. The groom's mother, who is the sweetest woman on the planet even got in on mocking him. The irony of it all was that despite the fact that he found out about one of our hotel rooms getting banged up and just general mayhem all night, it was his own son and his football brohans who stole the show by lifting a sailboat out of dry dock, dropping it in the water and taking it out for a spin, then getting caught by the marina security guard in that brief moment between getting back to the dock and realizing that they couldn't get it back out of the water. He told me they were like 5 seconds from realizing they'd need to leave it in the water and running. Fire and brimstone!

People who write a check at the grocery store.......come on, use a debit card, it's the same damn thing, and faster.

People who put bumper stickers on their cars indicating who they voted for president. Never understand that. I really don't care who you voted for.

People who are glued to their cellphones while walking in public, oblivious to who is around them. Please pay attention so I don't run your a$$ over.

Couples who are out to dinner, but both are on their cellphones instead of conversing with one another. I guess face to face conversation isn't cool anymore.

People who care about what celebrities have to say, especially about politics.

Golfers who suck, but take a lot of time making practice swings and lining up their shot. Please just hit the damn ball so I can finish in 4 hours or less.

People that lease vehicles. Never done it before, but it seems like a waste of money.

Some people like a new car every 3 years, and not have the hassle of paying for maintenance. They're willing to pay an extra cost for that. I wouldn't call that a waste of money.

Here is something I can't understand: How they could just kill a man.

those in the back of planes who stand up in the aisle right when plane parks the inevitably wait the 15 minutes and shove some child out of the way to cut two spots in line.

I realize that we're all individuals and have varied likes, dislikes, etc. That said, this does not stop me from passing judgement on things that others do that I find dumb or wasteful.

For me, I'll never understand the need in this country to have giant houses. A lot of property I get, a lot of house on little property I'll never understand. These palaces seem to me to be huge wastes of resources and energy. What can a family of four do in a 6,000 square foot house that they can't in a 3,000 square foot house (which is still pretty big)?

For decades we survived as a nation just fine in very modest homes. What changed?

More people are obese, so they need more room?

I never understood these people. Sometimes, if I sit in the back, I'll just stay seated until the middle of the plane starts moving. One time, I had a guy in the window seat ask me if I could get up. I thought he had something in the overhead he wanted to grab. Nope. He just wanted to get by me. But because of the backup, he had his ### hanging in my face as he tried to position himself so he could get out before the people across the aisle. Idiot.

There's a nice catch-22 with this response...

No there's not, moron.

I'd kick your ### IRL. Here's me at the gym the other day.

ETA: I felt really odd googling "muscular man selfie."

Folks that steal my selfies.

Post in a thread entitled "Things People Do That You Just Don't Understand" and just list things they find annoying when they know perfectly well why people do those things.

People who actually wait for the WALK sign to cross the road even though there are clearly no cars in sight. Just GO!

I'll see that, and raise you the people hammering the "Walk" button repeatedly while waiting for the sign across the way to say "Walk."
