10 (Anti) Social Questions – Why, Why, Why?
Recently I’ve been asking a number of questions. Here are 10 of them.
1. Why does my neighbor say he has a Hummer because of his job? He’s a cop.
2. Why for every misspelled word in Tweetdeck, the program suggests mucus and raucous?
3. Why does my sort of instant box of Aloo Matar have 4 alternatives for cooking it? I’m overwhelmed by choices. Regardless of the cooking method, the inner bag will be very hot.
4. Why does my cat like to jump on the counter, pull down onions and garlic, and then bat them around the house? Some have suggested that she has aspirations to be a chef. This image is great because it’s what my cat actually looks like.
5. Why was I compelled to find out who Lady Gaga was because I kept seeing mentions of her name? That’s 10 minutes of my life that I’m never getting back.
6. What is Posh Metal? There is a last.fm group for Metalheads against Posh Metal. I looked at the group description and I’m still clueless. It makes me think of a Spice Girl hanging out with Ozzy or something.
7. Why do people think it’s ok to spit all over the sidewalk? Seriously, carry some tissues or something. Maybe I should be grateful that they didn’t do it on the subway.
8. Why does my other neighbor think that the only way to close a door is by slamming it?
9. Why do I have so much Joy Division in my music library? I didn’t even like them back in the day. I have to admit that they were ahead of their time and that Ian Curtis had an interesting dance style.
10. Why do birds suddenly appear whenever you are near? This is the really bizarre version from the film MirrorMask rather than the one by The Carpenters.

There are many things in this life that we don’t understand. But further inquiry may provide us with answers, if we chose to. :-)

Hi Walter – Thank you for visiting – there are a lot of things I don’t understand :-)

hahahahahahahaha
AWESOME!!!
Seriously #7 is disgusting and a huge pet peeve of mine. Especially since in the last 6 months, I’ve come really close to getting spit on by other people in the city.
That picture is total CC.

Hi Jim – I knew you would like this one :-)
People have to stop with #7 – it’s so gross.
CC must have known I posted this today – the garlic is missing again.

Mommy I’m scared, number 10 is really strange!

Hi Jen – LOL That film is visually stunning but is super weird. And, surprisingly enough, it’s boring.

This was funny! The imponderables of the universe. “Why does my cat like to jump on the counter, pull down onions and garlic, and then bat them around the house?” Actually, that sounds like fun. Can I play too?
As for door slammers, I think there should be a class in elementary school on correct door closure, along with “indoor voice” and “outdoor voice.”

Hi Dot – Once in a great while I slam a door but it’s usually an accident. This is just the way this woman closes the door. Grrr … I even yelled “stop slamming the door” once and she said sorry but she keeps doing it.

The answer to #9 is that he is always mad about #1.

Hi – #1 and #9 are different people :-) #1 also has the world’s loudest sneeze – I can hear it like a block away. But I can’t complain about that because I don’t think he does it on purpose ;-)

Ewww, neighbors who slam doors. I hate that.

Hi Vered – My mild mannered neighbor who lives across from her and who never complains about anything has complained about her slamming the door.

Why am I trying to leave a comment on your post from my email and getting frustrated when I am unable to

Hi Manshu – I’m not sure what you mean.

I like number one – that’s pretty darn hysterical!! So – when are you going to just come right out and ask him? And film it, too? Hahaha!!

Hi Lisa – It’s so stupid – he gets a police car when he is working. And he’s also an officer in this district and the station is within walking distance. It’s not like he’s chasing down criminals in a hummer.

must be the season – I am asking questions on bikingarchitect this week too…
but this was more fun! indeedy.
I thought Lady Gaga was another picture of your cat…she seems like a pouty, rude Cher done up in sexual saran wrap…I don’t get it…
My brother is a retired cop…has to have a JEEP with all the velvet touches and 45 antenna off the roof….he is a very generous, nice person…and after 5 divorces and 8 girl friends since…I am still worried he will be alone for the Holidays….we are going cross country skiing and after walking the beat for some many years his legs will not allow that activity..It is just a “some” cops thing…

Hi Patricia – I don’t get Lady Gaga either. Maybe it’s an age thing. I suppose if I spent more time analyzing her, I might get it but I don’t really want to be bothered ;-)
Maybe it is a cop thing – I think the Hummer is overkill.
December 18, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Man Kim we REALLY have to just hangout sometime…I think you’re just twisted enough without being scary. ;)
I’m now emailing you about one of your comments here. lol

Hi Dennis- LOL – That’s a pretty accurate description of my personality ;-)
December 20, 2009 at 8:39 pm
Not only that, but why do people spit out their gum RIGHT on the sidewalk or in front of doors? Ugh, annoying!
December 20, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Hi Jenny – That’s a good one. I don’t really get littering anyway. It usually isn’t too far to the next trash can.
December 26, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Is the door-slamming neighbour the same guy person as the Hummer driver?
I think the Lady Gaga thing and the Joy Division thing show that no matter what era it is, there will always be famous people whose famousness we just don’t understand…

Hi Ravi – No, it’s two different people.
Good point about celebrities. :-)
