WTF ? ? ?

Well not really WTF situations, more just random thoughts, but WTF is so much more attention grabbing :)

We'll start off with a real WTF though.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend that I had in February..."
WTF kind of lyrics are these? Is someone's boyfriend/girlfriend a cross dresser? These are the kind of lyrics that generate discussions along the lines of:
"WTF kind of lyrics are these?"
"You just don't understand them."
"You're right, I don't. So explain them to me."
"You wouldn't understand them anyway."
"Noo, that just means you don't understand them either."
"I understand them, I just can't explain them to you because you wouldn't understand them."
"That means you don't understand them."
"I do understand them!"
"So explain them to me."
"You wouldn't understand them."
"WTF EVER!!!"

After making a purchase, when you get your change do you like the notes/bills to be a certain way, and do you rearrange them so they're all facing the same way and sorted by value? Or do you just stuff the wad of crumpled up notes into your purse/wallet?

What time do you wait to call the cops to report your neighbors for partying too hard & too loud? 10pm? 11pm? Midnight? This is if you don't know your neighbors well enough to get invited to said party, or don't know which of the ignorant SOBs is blasting crappy dance music with way too much bass until 1am Sunday morning.
Is it ok to tell the cops you think you heard gun shots and screaming?
Don't say you did, just say you think you did.
"I don't know, it sounded like gun shots...maybe it was their TV."

People who make a left turn from the middle of the road (driving US style, adapt to country of residence) and block you from going past on their right. People who sit in the left lane and don't turn on their turn signal until after they get a green light so you're now stuck behind them while they wait for oncoming traffic. Oncoming drivers who turn left (or right) without using their turn signal so you yield to them thinking they're going straight ahead. People in front of you making a left turn at a light (with their turn signal on) who never pull into the intersection until after the light has changed so you're forced to wait for the next green. People waiting to make a right who "yield" to the pedestrian who needs to cross 6 lanes of traffic before he'd be impeded by their vehicle.
Is it justifiable to shoot any or all of these drivers?
Actually you can get a ticket (here in the U.S.) for not yielding to a Ped even if they just stepped onto the road and it will take them 20 seconds to get to your location.

"Compact Space Only" - Is it ok to open your door into the side of the SUV shoe-horned into the "Compact" space next to your car? How many times is it permissible to do this? Should "Compact Only" Parking Structures have low entrances that prevent a vehicle taller than 6-feet from entering? Should this be clearly marked, or should it be up to the driver to obey the "Compact Only" sign? Is it ok to wait for the driver of the SUV and taser him when he finally returns? What if it's a soccer mom, is it ok to taser her and the kids? Or just her?

How about this lyric that kind of goes along with the middle posts. "This ladies got her left blinker on for an hour or more then she makes a right into my side door". Ever see that one? I have. And I want to know something else. Why does the old man with an oxygen tank riding shotgun get lower insurance rates than I do when I haven't had an accident in 10 years? He could die at any moment but the insurance company doesn't seem to consider that a threat.
The suv guy who parks in the compact car only parking deserves death by FUMBUCK. I think the arrogant pricks that buy these gigantic SUV's do so because they are arrogant pricks; so them parking in a compact only spot is just one more way for them to say "look at me! I'm an asshole". I wouldn't recommend opening your door into thier side doors because that could potentially damage your car; instead I offer this solution: keep a spare bottle of brake fluid in your trunk for just such an occasion then paint brush it on in places where they are unlikely to notice.
