Things that make me go "Hmmm"

Someone needs to explain to me-

Why people will tolerate behavior from a dog that they would NEVER tolerate from a human being?

Why my neighbors have to warm up their new model car for 15 minutes every morning when it's SIXTY DEGREES outside?

Why doesn't the phone company just tell you that the technician will be at your house 15 minutes after the end of your 4 hour appointment window?

How my cat knows I've cleaned her litter box even though she is sound asleep and at the other end of the house?

Why my kids put the empty milk carton back in the fridge? (Anybody? Please?)

Why I don't cut myself more of a break?

Do you have any ponderings you would like to share? (Is pondering even a word?) Thank you and my best for a Conundrum Free Weekend!

Amen to the dog question! I have a neighbor with an obnoxious dog!

What the heck is it with cats? I mean really! They can snooze in the sun half the freaking day. Wake you up at 6 a.m. for their morning feeding like a 2 week old. And still manage to sense that three floors down in the basement I've just cleaned the litter and rush to crap in the fresh driven Tidy Cat?!

How come our cats who have never eaten canned cat food still come running when they hear a can-opener... and I mean the manual kind?

I hope you have a good weekend too! Hmmm, my neighbor does the same thing too - frustrates me of course. Also, I do let Neela lick my toes where I of course would never let my husband do that, LOL!

Haha-these are great! My biggest question is 'why must a toddler touch every sq in of a public restroom within the first 3 seconds of entering the stall??'

Why did my husband take my cell phone with him when he left this afternoon? Why did he also take his cell phone?

Here's my work conundrum of the day...what is the difference between not taking a lunch to leave an extra half hour early and going to lunch and never coming back?

We had a cable guy show up at our house the other day. No one told us we had an appointment. I guess that's how they're never late!

As to the milk carton...I have no idea. My husband doesn't leave empty containers. He leaves containers with one or two bites of food, or a bottle of juice with 1 oz remaining...because he wasn't hungry/thirsty enough to finish it at the time. Makes me want to kill him!

When you get all the answers, please let me know!

Enjoy your weekend!

I wish I could help you with this questions but I don't have the answers. Ah...life's great mysteries!

Martha said...

I have asked myself some of those very questions... especially the cat and the litter box one!

MrsSpock said...

Why grown women in an office pee all over a toilet and then leave it there?

Soralis said...

I am so with ya on the dog thing! And I would like to add, why does everyone assume that I like their dog as much as they do!

As for the empty milk carton, I errrm I mean the kids put it back cause we oops I mean they don't want to deal with it! LOL

okay, I'm totally not a dog person so you lost me on the first person. Like....panting and leg humping which I know is not ok in humans is not ok in dogs either? LOL

But, you hit the nail on the head with the phone company (and the cable company, and the furniture delivery people and anybody else.)
I can't get over these ridiculous four hour windows anyway, but you're right...they are always 15 minutes late for their window.
ok, sorry...you got me on that one.
Oh and regarding putting empty containers back in the fridge? See my post Seriously? Seriously!
It's not just kids!!!!
Happy Monday!!!
