If you wanna read the first list of things I don’t understand, you can catch up here.
Why Walmart can’t fix their shitty shopping carts. I mean, it’s not like they don’t have the money, right?
Why I wash off all the oil from my hair to only slather Argan oil on the ends. Why?
Why we park on driveways, yet drive on parkways. Why?
Why the people who tailgate are never pulled over for speeding, but the second I enter a speed zone 10mph slower, the cops are after me. Why?
Hypocrites. Why hypocritical people can’t stand their flaws in other people. Does it bother you that they have that flaw, or does it bother you that you have that flaw? In that case, does criticizing the other person with the flaw that you both share make you a better person?
Nosy people. Correction: nosy people who don’t have any shame in their game. Look, if you’re going to stare at me, or eavesdrop on my conversation, OR sneak a peek at my utility bills on my kitchen table, up your game. Be stealthier about it. If you’re a friend or family member, it just makes me not want to have you around. If you’re neither, GTFO.
Why, with the 5M dog toys at home (and the 2M I pack for road trips) Daisy instead chooses to munch on rugs, tassels, and paper towels. What did the rug ever do to you? Does it smell/taste like chicken to you?
Why am I still surprised to see friends my age no longer married to the person they were married to only 2 years ago? I swiftly entered the age where many of my old friends and acquaintances are entering the dating scene after already having been married. To quote Rachel:
Why do dentists and dental hygienists insist on having conversations with you when their fingers are in your mouth?
Why do hair dryers have warnings against using the unit in the shower? Who in their right mind has actually tried this? Isn’t the whole point of being in the shower that you’re constantly wet? Why do you need a hair dryer? (Yes, I know they’re there because of lawsuits, but still. C’mon).

Driveways and parkways have always confused me! Ha.
Girl in Beta says
Can you imagine how infuriating it would have been to have your legal team tell you that your company has to start putting a warning on your hairdryer because someone used it in the shower?
I would have killed someone.

Hi am new to your blog, I enjoyed this post as I constantly talk to my friends about the whole “friends on their second marriage” topic, and i agree with the walmart carts, it never fails I always get the faulty cart, unless they are all just faulty which is probably the better conclusion.
Cat says
Goodness. The people that want to know about your bills — I will never understand it! You aren’t paying them, so why do you care how much it costs for me to run my air conditioning/keep my house warm? Why do you care how much I pay for my internet service?
The other type of annoying money-related people are the “extreme” savers; the ones that will judge the heck out of your spending (to your face!) but have their own little splurges, e.g.:
“I would NEVER spend $10 on a nail polish” — says the person who buys a $3.50 latte every morning.
“I just can’t believe that you would spend $150 on a pair of jeans!” — says the person who spends $50 at F21 every weekend.
“$5 for a brick of tempeh? I could never be vegetarian!” — says the person who is at Chipotle (or similar) 5x a week.
We all have different priorities, but the ones that comment on someone else’s are the most annoying!
Kate says
Love the Rachel gif!
Fortunately, I havent’t entered the part yet where married friends are divorcing… maybe because Dan and I are the firsts to marry! Fingers crossed I don’t have to see that happen :(.
Libby says
I absolutely love this post and definitely agree with all of those things . . . well I guess i more so agree to also not understand those things. And I LOVE the Rachel Gif . . . a girl who posts any Friends reference is a girl after my own heart!
Juliette says
But somebody had to have used the hair dryer in the shower for them to put that warning on there… what idiot did that?!?!?!?
Caroline L. says
I think the real question is why Walmart can’t fix themselves. Take a good, long look at Target. (jk don’t, I’m fine with Target monopolizing my supermarket addiction)
Niki says
That’s a really good point about the argan oil! And nosy people drive me crazy!
Trish says
I hear ya on the divorce thing. I do not feel old enough to have friends getting divorced!! Even crazier…everyone I know (my age) that’s been divorced….is already married again!
chelsea says
The dentist thing..yes! I hate that so very much.
Kenzie Smith says
I don’t understand why curling irons need the warning: not for internal use.
