Why Do People Stick Out Their Tongues?

Why do grown adults stick out their tongues for pictures?  Do they know how disgusting the tongue is?  Don't get me wrong, the tongue serves many purposes.  But it's not pretty.  If you think about it, it's like a very short, very fat snake attached to the inside of your mouth.  It's best to keep it hidden inside your mouth out of sight to do it's job.  I think people think that it makes them look like they are having a wild and crazy time so when the cameras are rolling, the tongues start coming out.  Trust me, having your tongue hanging out during a picture does not enhance the picture.  Leave it in.

Why Do People in Sales Torture People?

Why do people in the sales industry tease and torture consumers? Whether they are selling airline tickets or blush blazers, they put out a product "for sale" to get you interested, only to take it away! How can an airline sell you a ticket, give you a reservation, then change your flight to a different day because "oops, we oversold"?  Then when you become irritated because you have to cancel your trip, they act all shocked and appalled like, "What? You're angry?" Don't they realize that the reason people make reservations for specific days is because they have to be there on that day? The important part of taking the reservation is keeping the reservation. "Oh, just tell the hostess of the party you are attending to change the day of the party because we screwed up and overbooked". Idiots!!  And what's with the scarcity of blush blazers in size 2?  A large franchised store comes out with a new line of blush blazers and within a week all size 2s are sold out across the country? And you're not making any more? You've got to be kidding!

Why Do People Leave Their Calendars Unattended?

Why do people allow "Calendar Gremlins" access to their calendars? Don't they know that these gremlins are involved in trickery? Calendar gremlins are the only explanation I can think of to account for meeting dates mysteriously being removed from one's calendar. I see someone put a meeting date on their calendar, I hear that same person agree to a date, yet when we talk about that same meeting date a few weeks later, the date has been removed and according to the other party, the meeting date never existed. That disturbs me! Did a gremlin get a hold of your phone, remove the meeting date, and wipe your memory?
