Why do we celebrate birthdays by feeding everyone cake made from white flour, grease, sugar, and eggs -- the very thing that will insure them fewer birthdays?
Why do people push the elevator button several times, or stand there holding it in? Do they think it will make the elevator come faster?
And for that matter, why do people stand there and smack the "walk" button several times? Will they get the "walk" light faster if they do that? Or do they think it really doesn't work, so if they pound it a lot, it may start working?
Why do cashiers in stores pause a transaction to take phone calls then stand there and talk to the one on the phone, when they were waiting on a customer with the debit card in their hands?
If I am obviously sitting down, reading a book, why do people come up and ask what I am doing?
If I am putting lotion on my hands, why do people ask, "Oh, are your hands dry?"
Why do people complain about others not washing their hands in public bathrooms, then turn off the water with their washed hands, and open the door, touching the handle?
Why do people use check-cashing stores, which charge something like 20%, when a bank will cash their check for free?
Why do they make left-handed- and right-handed-scissors when they could make scissors that are compatible for all handedness?
Why do several people enjoy sitting around, watching each other making loud staccato nonsense sounds with their mouths wide open? Why do some snort when they do it? Why do some bend over at their waist and some slap their thighs when they do it? Why do some do it so long and so hard that they make themselves cry? Why do we look forward to this activity, wanting to do it again and again?
Why are really scary activities really fun?
