The "why do people do that?" thread

[Eazy E]

Why do some people set their clocks 5 mins ahead even though they arent being fooled by it?

Damn, I do that shit.  And I ask myself every morning,  "Why do I do that, it never works?"

hmmmmmm it seems like lots of people eat pizza with a knife and fork these days.

I used to do that shit.   :hihi:Then when I was behind (read: always) I'd say to myself "Oh I really have an extra ten minutes.." So it was stupid and I don't do it anymore.

Why do people walk into you or knock their bag into and not apologise but keep walking.

A bit of courtesy wouldn't go to far

horns are annoying!

most people when they fuck up dont like being reminded they fucked up, so when someone blows a horn it makes them feel like a little kid that knocked milk over on the carpet or something

so out of embarassment they instinctly flip the bird!

Horns are good.

people that walk out early in exams. i've never done this, but i just had an exam, 200 people, 1 and a half hour exam which is relatively short, and there were only 20 people left by the end. I mean especially in a writing exam surely you may aswell write as much as you can, even if you don't know anything more there's no harm in trying to write bullshit down. I never understood why people walk out early.

two things I abhor...why do people chew with their mouths open? and when people say "i'll call you back in five minutes or will see you in five" and never follow through?why say it? when people say that now,no matter who it is,I give'em 5 and then I'm gone

[SLCPUNK]

and when people say "i'll call you back in five minutes or will see you in five" and never follow through?why say it? when people say that now,no matter who it is,I give'em 5 and then I'm gone

I hate this. Why not just say, "I'll try to get in touch with when I can" ?

why do some people feel the need to have a reputation to get far in life?

Yeah but in real exams, like Maths or Physics, there's actually an answer to the question, not something you can make up.  So if you don't know it...you don't know it...and you might as well leave.  Also...if you've answered everything and know you've got it all right, then theres no harm in leaving either...

let me correct myself. i completely understand why people would walk out early in a maths or physics exam. if you don't know it you don't know it. there's nothing you can do.

but writing exams you can always just have a crack. i was just so surprised that so many people left, a 1 and a half hour exam, if you finish in an hour you're only gonna have to stay there another 30mins, there's no harm in checking your answers and adding stuff. maybe if it was a 3 hour exam and someone that just couldn't bare to stay there it would make more sense.

maybe my day will come, when i walk out of an exam early. cuz my friend was like me, except one day he stuffed up an exam real bad and walked out early and he understands why people do it now.


anyway, new one,

people that reserve videos at a video store and then never end up hiring them. its so damn annoying they waste the video for one night with the stupid "im reserved" thing on them and then dont even get it. other people might have wanted that video.
