Why do people talk loudly on their cell phones in public?

Why do people think you are interested in their phone conversation? They act like there is no one in the room but them. Do they know that they don't have to shout across the room for the person on the other end of the conversation to hear them?  Do they know that the rest of us do not find their conversation interesting? Do they know about noise pollution? That such a thing exists? Listen people, next time you are in a room with others and want to have a phone conversation, resist the urge while still in the room.

Why do people use their GPS to get to familiar places?

People that turn on their GPS to go places they've been to a million times just like listening to some strange woman direct them where to go. Even when you know she's wrong, you still listen to her. If she gives you the wrong directions every time you go to a particular place, why do you insist on turning her on every time you go there? Do you think she is eventually going to get it right? Irritating!

Why do people expect you to believe crazy things they tell you?

Have you ever had someone tell you something completely outrageous and so unbelievable that what shocks you the most is the fact that they actually thought you would believe them? I'm an intelligent, educated person. The people I'm talking about are also intelligent, educated people. Do they actually believe that I am dumb enough to get sucked into their craziness?  It's such an insult to my intelligence when people tell me things that are so completely far from the truth. I say if you're not going to tell the truth, at least say something believable. Don't give yourself away by saying something ridiculous. Try it on yourself first. Would you believe you??

Why do people wear stupid hats to get attention?

If I were ready to leave the house and the person I was with said, "You're wearing THAT?", I would definitely change into something else, or if it were a hat, TAKE IT OFF!  Listen to people that love you and don't want you to embarrass yourself. Someone I know insists on wearing his cowboy hat to weddings. He has been told by many loving family members that it looks umm well, STUPID. He doesn't live in Texas and he's not a cowboy. Now, someone else close to me wears a red and black checked "Elmer Fudd" hat everywhere. He's kinda bald, so I get wearing some type of head cover outside when it's cold.  BUT once you come inside where you are socializing with people, TAKE IT OFF!! Purely attention getting behavior.

Why do people carry on personal conversations on their Facebook pages?

If you want to have a personal conversation with someone that is just between the two of you, there are many ways to do that. You can call, text, email, or send a message via Facebook. Hey, you can even pay them a visit!  What you don't need to do is carry on the conversation through their Facebook page so hundreds of other people can view your conversation! Years ago, I mean MANY years ago, when the thought of actually having a computer in your home was science fiction, we had something called "party lines". Party lines were when you had several families on one telephone line. If you went to pick up the phone to call someone, your neighbor might be on the line. You could either put the phone down and wait to use it later, or you could be "bogus" and invade their privacy by listening in. My point is that conversations between two people on Facebook is like being on a party line. I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm spying by reading it.

Why Do People Overcrowd Our Gyms in January?

Tomorrow when I go to the gym, I will expect to find someone on my favorite treadmill, people I've never seen before populating the area where I like to do my stretches and ab routine, and every weight machine in use. Who are these people? They are "The Resolutioners". People that vow to start their new year off right by joining a gym and disrupting us "gym regulars" during the month of January. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for changing your life and setting new goals, BUT unless you are serious about it and plan on sticking to it, don't use my treadmill and mat space!
