Things I Don’t Get

These aren’t things I hate. I just don’t see what the big damn deal is.

  • Pro sports
  • Dr. Who
  • Kate Winslet’s acting
  • Neon clothing and accessories
  • Jackass and Tosh.0 and shadenfreude directed toward strangers (actually, I do kind of hate these)
  • Keira Knightley
  • Boyfriend jeans
  • Gerard Butler
  • Indoor skydiving
  • Skydiving
Elmo in a tutu
But Elmo in a tutu? I totally get that.

  1. Schadenfreude, sadly, I understand. Everybody is self-conscious . . . pointing out other weaknesses is just what bullies do on the playground. I hate it, a lot . . . but I understand why others do it (though I wish there was some way of protesting more than just watching another channel)

    I love Doctor Who — it’s fun “turn my brain off but I still have to think” programming.

    Elmo totally rocks a purple tutu.

    1. He does make that tutu work, doesn’t he?

      I understand wanting to see someone get a comeuppance when they’ve wronged you. I can think of some right now. But people I don’t even know? Why do I want to see them get hurt in some fashion?

  2. I like boyfriend jeans but I don’t get why the majority of them come with holes purposely put in. I mean, do the designers think I’m only going to borrow the holy ones?

    1. They look better on you than on me. But I don’t get holes in jeans, either–I never have. That could go on the list.
