No comprendo.

These days I feel like the more I look around me, the more I just don't understand. There are just some things that make me want to throw my arms in the air because they just plum don't make sense. Of course then I take a deep sarcastic breath and move on. Is there anyone out there that can please explain the following to me:
  • Cropped tops- Doesn't everyone know that in fashion, long and lean lines make a long and lean you? If you crop it all that shows is your muffin top. Why must these designers make shirts that require so many sit ups?
  • Frozen yogurt shops- Okay, now you're thinking, "Hello, you love frozen yogurt!" which I do, however I think that we've gotten way far away from this healthy dessert phase. How can people call yogurt that you pay for by the POUND and cover in chocolate chips and 300 gummi bears healthy? I myself call this dinner (ha!) but healthy, not quite.
  • Tip jars- I was a waitress for 3 years, so I know just how important it is to tip well. However it seems like everywhere you go these days, people want to get tipped. I'm sorry, but I don't feel that I owe you something just because you opened a display and handed me a box of Butterfinger bites. Perhaps you should charge less and do a dance, then I might consider it.
  • 5K runs and/or marathons- Hey, did you know that if you want to have a fundraiser in Colorado all you have to do is tell people there will be a running race? Since when do so many people like running, and on top of that running through mud and electrical fences? This doesn't say fun to me, this says wow my face is beet red and I don't think my heart should be beating this fast. I also don't like how these runs shut down traffic on a Saturday...just saying.
  • Sporks- When was the last time you tried using one of these things? KFC right? Let's just say not the world's best invention.
  • The B gear on my car- The dealership said this meant "brake". I nodded like I understood, but really all I could think was, "Isn't there a pedal for that?" Hence, the B gear will probably never get used.
I guess as I continue to go through life I will continue to find these things that just don't make sense to me. But I will say I'm willing to listen to anyone who can explain...as I eat my frozen yogurt in my cropped top of course.
