The Great Mysteries of Life

[graceanne]

OK, so I was cleaning up my desk area - you know filing things, etc. And I had to unplug the computer and all that, cause the wires were so tangled that they could barely reach the plug in. It got me thinking.

How, in the name of God, do those cords get tangled? I mean it's not like I'm moving them around, or unplugging them, wrapping them around each other then plugging them back in.

Also, where do the damn movie cases go? I bought this one movie the other day, and the damn case is gone. I am the only one who cleans up, so I know it didn't get thrown away.

How did that striped sock end up in my laundry? I've never seen it before, I have my own washer and dryer, so I didn't pick it up at the laundromat or anything. And it sure as hell doesn't have a match.

So, how 'bout you? what are your great mysteries?

I have a hair elastic that I have never seen before, sitting on my dresser. I swear I never bought it.

I have a pair of socks that are too small for my feet, and too girlish for my sister, in my drawer. The only kids in the house are boys.

I have a phone battery capable of going three days without being charged, while at the same time capable of going from two bars of power down to red and blinking in the space of two hours.

I have books that nobody else in my house would touch with ten foot poles, that go missing, and randomly turn up in my closet a month later. With the last page I read still folded over.

...and what about the dreaded sock eating washing machine?

 

[the captians wench]

How do I end up with 3 huge and 5 large rubbermade totes full of material, but still don't have that one that would totally make this dress?

How is it that the one time I forget my toys in the bathroom after a um shower, is the time my dad comes over?

How can two pieces of the same cloth, laid out flat, and ironed smooth, then cut at the same time from the same pattern, end up looking slightly different?

How is it that everything in the store can have a lable, and be color coated, and numbered so there is no question where it goes, but still end up with 6 bbq sauses in the drive thru and none on the front counter?

How can a great guy like me be subless again?

Yes, there is interest but's it is like God has drawn a 500 mile circle around me. A no-sub zone.

Beings from another dimension, perhaps? They sneak to our side to experiment on humans to see how much (or how little) it will take to make us wonder if we our losing our minds. Just kidding!

Me, personally, I always blame the dog. I think he gets bored and finds it amusing to hide things, sneak things to odd places around the house, find objects (I've never seen or owned) to bring into the house, etc… LOL Sounds like a plausible explanation, to me. Unless one doesn't own a dog, then I'd go back to the beings from another dimension theory.

how is it that i give my room a thorough cleaning one day, and it's a mess the next?

 

[Netzach]

Why can my husband find any lost object in the house, normally in the first place I looked for it?

 

[northwoods_sub]

How can a small child trash the house ten times faster than I can clean it?

 

[somberReality]

yep

How can a small child trash the house ten times faster than I can clean it?

Amen to this one, and i have 3 boys so you can imagine....

I have some to add to the great mysteries:

Why is it when you are looking for someone, be it a friend or SO is when you can't find anyone, and when you quit looking is when you find that person?

Why is it I want to go shopping when I don't have money but don't want to shop when I do have money?

When am I gonna make my damn 100 posts??? gahhhhhhhhh

 

[HottieMama]

Why are you hungry an hour after eating Chinese food?

 

[Shankara20]

When am I gonna make my damn 100 posts??? gahhhhhhhhh

errr, in about 44 more posts????



why do I buy perishable food I don't eat and still make soup as if I were part of a family of 4 and I am only me now?

why is it I'm wide awake at 4:45 a.m. and am dog-ass tired at 8:30 p.m. and I work a 8 - 5 job?

 

[Chicklet]

why do cats snub the $40 toys we buy for them, and play with garbage? do they KNOW, and do it to irritate us and show us how meaningless our gifts to them are?

WHERE THE HELL IS B'S OTHER SHOE?

4 boys here, not including my Husband, the two dogs, the cat......

How many times to you have to remind a 12 year old boy to do the same chores that he has been doing for 3 years before he actually remembers to do them?

At least one more time.

I've got three girls, one boy, the husband, the rat, and on occasion my sisters boy and girl. Not to mention 1 to 3 neighborhood kids . . . etc.

 

[Recidiva]

Why do mechanical and electronic things adore my husband and do anything he says? Why do remotes magically work in his hands? Why does the washer only eat my clothes so they inextricably get wound around the base? Why?

 

[graceanne]

Where do all the nail clippers and tweezers go?

*narrows her eyes* That is not a mystery. THEY do it. *points to husband and children* Flagrant disregard for property!

 

[coy_one]

Why is it my son loves swimming but hates taking a bath?

Why does the petite chick that lives upstairs sound like a crash of rhinos?

Yes, I know they're losing them, but WHERE? I cleaned the whole damn house, and they are NO WHERE.

My theory on cats is that they harbor species memories and never really got over the whole being deities to the Egyptians era.

Where do opened tubes of superglue go? Every time i need i have to buy a new package. i use it once, and it immediately disappears into some black hole. Every time we make the move one way or the other across the pond i expect to find dozens of tubes of hardened superglue, but they have never resurfaced.

Doesn't matter now. I just buy spares. I have them stashed around the house. I have little mugs of orange sticks, emery boards, tweezers, lipstick and nail clippers. They rarely make off with the lipstick any more, though the dog has had his fun trying to eat it. So he's in on it too. No doubt they simply discard them and laugh.

I have...three sets of nailclippers in sight out in the open, and two pairs still in their package.

Just try it, fuckers.
