    why do some things just NOT make sense?

    Why is it that even when you're careful to not tie up the wires of your headphones and put them carefully in your bag, the next time you take them out you spend an hour de-tangling them? Like how the hell do they get so knotted up?

    I blame the sub prime housing market crash in the US.

    And why is it that I always have coco pops, but rarely have enough milk :(

    it will keep happening as long as Bertie is in power. Also i think John Delaney has something to do with it

    And Jane Fonda - she can be blamed for everything!!! The only rational thing to do is go back in time and kill Jane Fonda...

    I dunno. I guess life is just full of stupid little irritations like that.

    For example: I go into an offo and ask for 12 cans of 'x' from the girl behind the counter. She comes back with 2 sixers the second of which is missing two cans from its plastic binder 'o'. ie
    x x x       x x x
    x x x       x o o
    

    Upon plonking them on the counter the girl then had to actually count them with her fingers before realising there was only 10 there. Who are these people?

    OP, before you put it in your bag wrap your headphones around the middle of your mp3 player (ie like a belt around the waist of your player). That should solve your tangle problems. Even better for someone who keeps them in their pocket.

    It wasn't the question mark kinda why!

    And another thing, why are the ads on TV3 on a much higher volume than the program? It's the same on Paramount Comedy channel, you're happily watching SATC and then the ad suddenly comes on really loud and frightens the ****e out of you.

    It's the Governments fault. As a matter of fact, it's always the Governments fault.

    Why is that? :confused:

    Why!

    Ads are on higher than the tv programme to grab the attention of the user and possibly because people will lower the volume on a channel when they know ads are coming up, so this is done by the broadcaster to compensate.

    Why can't you just figure these things out yourself?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    On some of the newer T.V.'s now theres an option to compensate for that.

    As far as I know, this practice is illegal.

    Why I am I in work today? Thats what I really want to know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Spraying a load of de-tangling shampoo into my bag before I set off usually does the trick for me.

    Y'see, thats your problem right there. Your being punished for watching that tripe ;)

    I find Katy French doesn't make sense. Why does she exist?

    I'm fairly sure even saying that is a sin!!

    And why is it that when you really need something you can't find it anywhere, then days later post crisis you find the thing you were looking for just turns up?

    yes, it's more of an exasperated version than the usual why. eg

    why is it raining, why?

    why is pat kenny still allowed on tv? WHY!

    The wire thing is pretty much God's way of ****ing with us. It's the same thing that HMV only discount the albums you already have but will never discount the one you don't have.

    It's still a question, no matter how exasperated.

    Always use the correct punctuation, even on AH!















    Especially in the thread title as to do otherwise will attract unwarranted attention and sarcasm from pedantic hoooers like meself. Terms and conditions apply.
