willedoo Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Life is full of never ending questions. Why is it that catwalk models walk pigeon-toed down the catwalk, crossing their feet in front of each other like they're purposely trying to trip themselves up. A mystery (to me it is anyway ). At least nowdays they have fuller figures and that heroin chic rubbish has gone out of fashion, so that's one consolation. And why is it that when you throw something out that you haven't used or thought about for years, within days you really, really need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadpete Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 And a dropped nut will always gravitate to the most inaccessible location, where it will do the most harm if left there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Why is it, a dropped nut or screw rolls or bounces at least a metre away from where you last spotted it hitting the ground? Why is it, the dropped nut or screw ends up the exact same colour as the rocks, dirt or grass it lands in? Why is it, the only nut, washer or screw of its type, that you're trying to clean up in the wire wheel on the grinder, is grabbed by the wire wheel, and thrown to the most distant part of your shed, never to be seen or found again? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bad habit of walking around with a power tool with it's lead dragging unwound and dangling down. Quite often as I walk the lead will get between the legs, then the leg movement makes the lead swing from side to side out the rear end, like some sort of animal tail. It makes you feel really stupid until you come to a halt and remedy the situation. It only happens with power tools that have a long enough cord to do it.

Fliteright Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Why is it that 5 pair of socks go into the washing machine & only 9 come out!:-) Why is it that when she says I've got a headache its ok no fooling around but if the guy says it you must be cheating?:-) Edited September 21, 2021 by Fliteright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Why is is that last week you put something away, thinking that it could be useful someday, but when that day comes a week later, you can't remember where the Hell you put it? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woks are an amazing, efficent cooking device, with lots of other uses. Mine has served me since 1975 on camping and bike trips, where it cooked our dinner, served as washup dish and was sometimes used to drain Corse + from my Ducati. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man emu Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Why is is that if you lose the bolt holding the last thing you are trying to replace, so you spend time bodgying up something to make do, that as you are about to put your tools away, you find the damned bolt?

facthunter Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 You usually find the missing bolt under your knee as you are getting out from under the car. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Why is it that when re-assembling something after repairing it, there is always something left over (seals, bolts, etc), yet it appears to work fine - and continue to do so? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red750 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Why is it that you can manage your medications quite successfully at home for years, but when you go into hospital, they lock them up and dispence them like you were going to binge on them? Also checking your ID wristband a hundred times over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Sadly, in litigious times we live in, people can't be victims of their own ineptitude and the blame has fallen on the hospitals for not taking due care and diligence looking after their patients. Better to have the money go into health care than ambulance chasing lawyers. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
