The "Why is it? thread - rhetorical questions

[debodun]

I'll start:

Why is it when there's a TV show I want to watch, I fall asleep before it airs. If there's nothing particular on, I'm awake for hours.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

Murphy’s law!!!

 

[Alizerine]

The anticipation of something good is sometimes enough.

 

[oldaunt]

Why is it there are 2 wireless towers within a mile of my house, and I can't get a signal from either one?

 

[papa tiger]

Ur phone is a "Change your Carrier."

I sort of feel the same way about Professional Football and the NBA, Yawn! I don't even watch the playoffs much now for years.
The last 5 minutes of the 2nd half is about it.

''what does change your carrier'' mean ?

My laptop isn't. No wireless here at all.

Why is it that regardless of what time it is, just as I sit down to eat dinner...the phone rings ?

 

[Naturally]

Why is it that pork is the breakfast meat?

'Tis the miracle of television programming, they want you to watch the slop, they reserve to 'good stuff'...for those that wait...

Why is it that slow drivers are always ahead of you and fast, impatient drivers are behind?

 

[Gardenlover]

Why is it I always seem to get in the slowest check out lane at the grocery store?

 

[katlupe]

I rarely take a nap but why is it that every time I do.......someone comes knocking at my door?

 

[Widow of Vietnam Vet]

Why is it, if I am enjoying a tin of sardines, that the last sardine always looks 'funny' and I never eat it?

 

[debodun]

Why does there seem to be a prime number of items in a package of food, like 13 slices of cheese or 11 slices of bologna or 17 slices of bread? You can't divide them up evenly, like I'll eat 2 or3 slices every day. Never comes out evenly.

Here, its the ONLY time the phone rings

 

[jujube]

Why is it I always seem to get in the slowest check out lane at the grocery store?

....and, God forbid, you change lanes. The new lane will become the slowest lane while your original lane now whizzes through.

 

[Pepper]

Why is it that when I am very happy something comes to crash it all down?

 

[OldFeller]

Why is it I always seem to get in the slowest check out lane at the grocery store?

Even if you change to a shorter line.

 

[Pappy]

Why is it, when my kids were home, I’d buy Neapolitan ice cream and the kids ate all the vanilla and chocolate and left strawberry for me..

Better question. Why do all variety packs include a flavor nobody likes? Why not stop making the flavor nobody likes?

 

[OldFeller]

Why, if plastic is so bad for the environment, does everything you buy come wrapped in plastic? And then yell at the consumer for being the polluter if he doesn't recycle?

 

[wcwbf]

Here, its the ONLY time the phone rings

during a nap or when you are in the bathroom

 

[Knight]

Why is it that a prescription med can have side effects worse than what it is prescribed for?

 

[JeeperDon]

Why is it that slow drivers are always ahead of you and fast, impatient drivers are behind?

The guy ahead of you has the same question.
