When it's weekend and you want to catch up on sleep missed that you wake up at 7.00 am and can't get back to sleep? sad.gif

When you absolutely know on a tuesday morning at the same time that another 2 hours sleep is a neccessity.

Go for it, tell us the thing that pisses you off for no apparent reason?

Ahhhhh, you suffer as the rest of us do: you just don't want to go to work!! wink.gif

The Law
Murphy's Law was named after Captain Edward A. Murphy and is formed by eight laws.

If anything can go wrong, it will.
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw
Whatever has happened wrong, is bound to happen again ... maybe even worse.

9th Law:
If something has begun to go wrong, all sorts of other ways of going wrong will occur as well.

Why is it that hailstones are always the size of something else? A pebble, a ping-pong ball, a goose egg, but never just plain the size of a hailstone.

Why is it that every time i'm walking down the street, somebody wants to stop me just to give me a flyer?
Keydeck
You have a friendly approachable demeanour to you, Tom. You need to cultivate more of a Don-don'tfuckwithme-Riina look.
Allershausen
Why is it, when I want to go home and just need to get this one last thing done, the bloody computer goes into hyper-slow mode?
georgiagirl
I've always got Don-don'tfuckwithme-Riina look on my face and those asshats still manage to stick a leaflet in my hand anyhow.

Since people from Poland are called Poles, than why aren't people from Holland called Holes wink.gif ?

Why is it that every time i'm walking to the bank, the tellers look at me like I'm the one that robbed them last week?

You Ms.GG, need a Hatori Hanso sword, nothing says "No I don't want your flyer" like a drawn samurai sword.

Except maybe a tag hanging from your ear that says "Rabies experiment: Subject 345512FRT"

Question:
Why is it, that I get the feeling I am on my own chuckling to this thread trying to imagine Sagat sing peoples "why is it"s.

Come on maaan...

FUNK DAT!



edit: You have a point though. I wouldn't say boo to a goose. I haven't actually seen anyone else do this however so I don't think I am all that different in that respect.
Allershausen
Saying boo to a goose isn't all it's cracked up to be, goosing a Bo (Derek) is however to be recommended!
Claydog
why is it that...you have to wash your bath towel if you only use to after you shower?

Shouldn't being a ginga be enough to deter strangers from wanting to speak to me? One would think so. I mean I'm sure that's don riina's real scare factor.

When it's weekend and you want to catch up on sleep missed that you wake up at 7.00 am and can't get back to sleep ?

It's the will of the universe - by 7AM at the weekend, you should have already been awake and sat down smoking reefers and gaming on your xbox360 for at least 2 hours. Then you can start drinking beer at 10AM or so, and be well set for a nice afternoon snooze come 2PM. It's almost poetry it's so perfect.

Anyway..
Why is it that, when in the Basque Country, if you say you speak "espagnol", they'll go apeshit, ands say "no, no, no, you speak castellano", based upon their premise that spain has more than one language, therefore, "spanish" cannot be a language. 5 seconds later, you say something about being in Spain, and they go off on one about how the Basque Country is not Spain. Same shit in Catalunya. Makes no fucking sense atall. Idiots.

Why is it that I lived near masses of pigeons for seven years in Germany without ever being shit on, but have been shit on by French pigeons three damn times?

Do the French train their pigeons to spot Americans?
Tom17
A german pigeon shat on my McDonalds cheeseburger once. The litle fecker.
kitkat64
That's the 'special sauce' they're talking about!!
BadDoggie
Why the fuck is someone writing about French pigeons and their droppings on a GERMANY-based forum?

woof?

Why is it that whenever I'm cutting chillis I have to rub my eyes?
bluedave
You think you guys have probs with pigeons?

Lavender Rain


What's up with these bathroom doors? I don't think anyone would be confused as to which one to use if the words "women" and "men" were left off.
Eleanor Rigby
I'm a bit confused by the angle of the woman's stream unsure.gif
Keydeck
I'm more concerned about the bloke having two streams.
Lavender Rain
ER and Keydeck, it's clear that art doesn't always imitate life laugh.gif .

Do you find that you have better luck in France than in Germany?

If that is the case, why is it that a bird shiting on you gives you better luck in other areas, except for the bird shit?
sarabyrd
Read it and hand it back.
Keydeck
You can read bird shit? I mean I know about tea-leaves and whatnot, but pigeon poo, really?
sarabyrd
Look at the pattern it makes and interpret the shape.
Or read the leaflet, wipe the bird shit off with it and hand it back.
Punchbear
When I photocopy my ass at office parties, it feels so damn good on my skin?

Well, by reading the bird shit on the boy in post #22, I can easily interpret that the boy's having a really shit day. wink.gif

Par norm for me. Probably too much info, but...
