OK.. I know there are little things that we do that are strange sometimes .. or they make no sense what so ever.

Only in America:

Will you go a store and pay $4.50 for a cold coffee... and bitch about the 30 cents for a piece of cheese at a burger joint.

Only in America :

Will you fall in love with someone on the internet, yet fail to know your neighbors names.

Only in America:

Will you pay more money on an old restored car, than you would for a brand new car, and then gripe about the price of vehicles in the year 2002.


You obviously get the point.... what do you find odd that people do...

Stuff like getting up for 15 minutes to look for the remote control... instead of just getting up for 15 seconds to change the channel manually....

OK So I'm bored!!! Work with me people.... :)

Umm...I just got up and operated the TV manually 'til I found the remote a couple days later. *shrugs*

I do that all the time. It's hard work being lazy! :D

One similar thing I do...
I have no trouble driving three and a half hours to go clothes shopping, but, damn, when I want a soda and have to drive two minutes to the Wawa up the street, I often won't do it because it's too much work.

We pay people to walk our dogs.

32 oz. Big Gulps aren't enough. We have to have 64 oz. sodas.

We have to watch 'reality t.v.' to see what's real.

We take the word of celebrities as absolute truth.

We recycle only when it's convenient.

We spend millions of dollars per year to put plastic and saline in to our bodies to make us more beautiful.

We spend so much time worrying about the rights and well-being of our criminals that we sometimes forget their victims.
