...that nachos and mac and cheese are basically the same thing.
...that people who say "know what I mean?" a lot usually aren't very good at expressing what they mean.
...that 20% off seems like it's three or four times a better deal than 10% off.
...that people would rather add all sorts of hard to remember numbers to their e-mail address so it can be their first name or "hotboy" or whatever rather than use an interesting, unique, memorable combination of words.
What have you all noticed?

that men driving red corvettes are normally squicky middle-aged divorcees and think you should immediately fall for them because of the 'vette?
(Though other squickiness issues aside why you would ever want to get into a car that they treat like a child and be afraid you might damage it by farting in it is another question.)

That when people ask how you are, if you say "I'm dead, thanks and how are you?" in a normal tone of voice, never notice the difference unless its pointed out to them.

that "walk" lights are always way too short when you're walking, and way too long when you're driving?

I haven't noticed that in the Bay Area though [and I don't drive like that]. Around here it's the BMW drivers who act like they're on the Autobahn.

No way! 10, 20 and 30% off are never as much as they sound like. I've made a rule for myself that I can't consider it "on sale" unless it's at least 50% off.

...that orange juice is actually yellow and that the trucks that say "Yellow" are actually orange?

actually, if you can smell your own bad breath, imagine how other people must feel ...

My car is a Buick. I drive about 57 mph. My husband's car is a Ford. I drive that about 57 mph. In this case, at least, it's the driver, not the vehicle.
here's one that is specific to my work: ever notice how something goes wrong with the computer program when you are in the middle of something or when you aren't doing anything at all? (we have a program that shuts down at the drop of a hat ... or something. There is no commonality, no clue to what makes it do that.)
edited to add: unstable proprietory software is the phrase I was looking for.
quote:...that nachos and mac and cheese are basically the same thing.
Um, no. One is made of tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and peppers, and the other is a casserole consisting of noodles cooked in a cheese sauce. The only thing they have in common is that they both contain cheese. But then, so do a lot of things.

Yes! That drives me crazy! Does anyone know the reason for that?

It's true. I looked for that pizza for about half an hour, and finally found it in my underwear drawer.
