Totally useless musings!

You know on and off, I have this bad habit....I get into thinking. Problem is I think of the world's most useless things. It takes up brain bits which I am convinced is reducing by the minute, takes up memory space and it makes me concerned and upset over things I have no control over. But like any good friend, I want to show you what a Chindian's brain is chugging about!


Why do we sometimes say that we are in a pickle or jam when we are in a sticky situation? Wouldn't being in peanut butter be a better comparison?

Why do people look up when they think?

Why do we call some people we don't know 'perfect' strangers? Doesn't everybody have their faults? If they are strangers, how do you know they are perfect?

Why does the runners-up in Ms Universe looks so perky when she came so close but lost out on millions from endorsements and prize money?

Why do you press the elevator button repeatedly? Does the elevator then know you are in a hurry?

Exactly when and why did 'no problem' replace 'you're welcome' as the proper response to 'thank you'?

When someone asks us to hold something for them such as a bottle of soda why do we subconciously try to distance ourselves from it by holding it away from ourselves?

Why do the longest answers always begin with 'I don't know'?

If we hear a burglar stumbling around our house in the dark why do we yell out 'Who's There'? Do we really expect them to yell back their name?

When people turn on a light bulb and it burns out why do they turn it on and off again?

When people spill anything on themselves why do they always treat it like acid?

Why do we ask to 'borrow' a kleenex? Has anyone ever returned a kleenex they borrowed?

Why do people ask us if we are awake? Isn't 'yes' the only answer possible?

If God is everywhere why do people look up when addressing him?

Do women shiver after they pee like men do?

How come when people are free to do what they want, they usually imitate one another?

Why do we say 'Oh I knew that' when someone informs us of something we didn't know before?

Why do people taste virtually everything at a party?

Why do some people have to 'shudder' to think? Does thinking make you cold?

Why do people point at their wrist when they want to know the time but not at their crotch when they want to know where the bathroom is?
