We don’t need no pre-amble, let’s just get to it. The title is self-explanatory.
1. Why my printer cannot scan when it is out of ink/toner. I totally get why it cannot print or make copies, but why can’t it scan? Why can’t fax? The conspiracy theorist in me says it’s for no other reason than to force you to get out and buy more ink/toner. That’s the big money-maker for them, anyway.
2. Typing states in forms. When filling out a form you literally fill out every line… except the state. You get a pull-down, instead. You’re on a roll typing then have to come to a screeching stop and pick an option. Eh, I guess they figure most people don’t know their state’s two-letter abbreviation.
3. Why there needs to be a “cancel” button on a toaster. What the deuce? Back in the day… when I walked to school in the snow uphill both ways… you simply pushed the lever up. And it worked just fine. Why wouldn’t that still work?
4. Why “the little people” donate to political campaigns. After the election you are no longer important to them. Plus, “neck-and-neck” races end up being 10 point blow-outs, anyway.
5. Why people thank Facebook group administrators for approving their membership in the group. Is there a skeleton in your closet as to why they might not?
So there ya go. A handful of life’s mysteries.
