How many times during an ordinary day, do so many of us repeat actions even though they are illogical and irrational? Sometimes we might laugh when a friend commits such an error of judgment or just an action that cannot be explained. This article will focus on a combination of some of these actions. I have compiled a list of such actions that are so common that I would be surprised if every man or woman does not do at least ten of the following twenty. Don't believe me? Read and check for yourself. 1) Ever used 3-second glue (or instant glue and super glue as it is called in some countries)? Why does it stick so quickly as soon as you squeeze it out but it doesn't stick to the sides of the tube from which you squeeze it out? 2) Sanity statistics has proven that one out of four people are insane or suffer from some form of mental disease. Think of three of your best friends. If they are fine, then you must be the fourth one. 3) Sometimes, off and on, the batteries that we have placed in our remote control start to weaken. Even though we are well aware of this, why do we press the buttons harder and harder? 4) Watched old (and even newer descriptions in film) about Tarzan. If he is supposed to be living in the wild, what happened to his beard? 5) How do bugs get into the enclosed and sometimes shut-tight light bulbs? 6) Why can't we ever manage to open a plastic bag on the first attempt? 7) Why do they use sterilized needles when injecting a convict on death role? 8) Why does a bank take interest on money when your account is overdrawn. From where do they think you are going to pay them? If you had the cash you would have used it, wouldn't you? 9) Mother-in-laws are jokes about continuously, but why not father-in-laws? 10) Why do people believe it when scientists say that there are about four billion stars, but feel they must check it if someone places a sign saying wet paint on a piece of furniture? 11) How many times will be keep coming back and opening the door to the fridge when we are hungry? Do we really think that food will appear there miraculously? 12) Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest but ducks if after the bullets are over the gun is thrown at him? 13) If the human race evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys? 14) Why is it that when we try to catch something that is falling off a table, our hand knocks down something else? 15) Why did the Japanese kamikaze pilots wear helmets? 16) Use a vacuum cleaner at home? I do. But, explain to me why I move it over and over a piece of thread in the hopes that it will suck it in. Then, why do I pick up that rope, examine it and then place it back down and retry to suck it in using the vacuum cleaner? 17) Bought red, pink or blue coloured soap? Why can soap have colour, but the bubbles are always white? 18) Is it winter or summer wherever you are right now? Have you noticed that if it is summer we try and make the house as cold as it would be during winter, and if it is winter, we try and make the house as hot as it would during summer? 19) Why is it that whenever you walk past a mattress dealership, they have large signs advertising a big price reduction? 20) Sometimes we are just too polite! How many times have others run into us with their carts or even worse have smashed into out ankles? Instead of cursing or at least barking at them to watch where they are going, why do we just smile when they say sorry? Conclusion: There are many more than the above twenty funny odd and strange details of a human being's life, and I am always looking for more. Sometimes, just by traveling by bus you can notice so many oddities such as why do people pick up newspapers left behind on bus seats but never from anywhere else? Life is more than just funny. It is sometimes strange, sometimes ludicrous, sometimes tragic. Above, I have pointed out some of the most humourous I could think of. |
