    Why isn't there a Ziploc bag containing little bottles of hotel shampoo on my break room table?!?

    To teach you some valuable life lesson. Not sure what that life lesson is, but there has to be a valuable life lesson involved.

    There weren't so very many people in my law school class. One hundred and fifty, maybe? How come I don't even remember the names of so many of the people who, according to the alumni magazine, I spent three years with?

    Why are there thousands and thousand of dead little insects in my office building?

    Why doesn't anybody clean up all the little corpses piled up on the stairwell?

    The woman who was strolling down the street on Saturday, smoking a cigarette, with full Klingon face make-up but no other sign of a Star Trek costume: What was that about?

    Why is it I can drink until the cows come home some nights and still be all but sober yet other nights I wipe out and act like the biggest douche on earth?

    Heh, I don't even really understand what a Linkedin endorsement means, let alone why she's doing it.

    Oh well, no reason why I should understand how her mind works now any more than I did then.

    Why are cyclists such dicks? Just today I observed two running a pedestrian crossing red light and about half a dozen cycling, at speed, on foot paths. They know their rights but not their responsibilities it seems.

    Find an answer to that one, let me know. Entitled dicks are the vast majority of cyclists, in my observation. Right up there with Beemer drivers.

    My question: How is it that I can't name a single song by Morrissey, or even the Smiths, yet I know that he is: (a) Gay; (b) Vegan; (c) a douche?

    Rube, even my ma knows their songs. My ma who has been oblivious to every single pop cultural phenomenon since 1972 (year of the birth of her first child) except for Andre Rieu and Andrea Bocelli.

    Why do all the 1st Communion dresses look like little wedding dresses with spaghetti straps and illusion netting? This is not the look I'm wanting for Sassy Girl!

    I get that a lot with twitter. You would have thought all the celebs had enough people following them, without needing me to do so as well.

    Nicholas Cage is a real headscratcher to me, though. Usually I can make some sort of sense of Facebook's recommendations, but Nic Cage? I'm not sure I've even seen one of his movies since Moonstruck.

    How did my keyboard get so clogged up? I have never seen so much cat hair and toast crumbs in close proximity.

    Call display just showed a call from, literally, "Anonymous".

    Has anyone with call display ever answered a call that said that?

    If it's an unlisted number I get "Private" but if it's from Skype I get "Out Of Area" or "Unknown".

    Why do razors have 4 or 5 blades now? I remember a time when 1 blade worked just fine. In fact, 1 blade seemed to work better than going blade-crazy like nowadays.

    The sad truth is purely marketing and is nothing to do with how close it can shave.

    I want to know why Irish people forget what intense sunshine does and go around having taken zero precautions. Lads out in shorts and no shirt and no sunscreen turning into lobsters.

    They are having an anniversary party for their parents and realized they needed more serving utensils for it. Or something similar.

    a) It keeps people from bothering him on the subway ride
    b) Satanist but also a perfectionist and kept messing up the angles of the pentagram
    c) Geometry Student?

    It was probably agent 13._ He could hide in the oddest places. Like stray punctuation marks perhaps.
