\"\"We don’t need no pre-amble, let’s just get to it.\u00a0 The title is self-explanatory.<\/p>\n

1. Why my printer cannot scan when it is out of ink\/toner.<\/strong> I totally get why it cannot print or make copies, but why can’t it scan?\u00a0 Why can’t fax?\u00a0 The conspiracy theorist in me says it’s for no other reason than to force you to get out and buy more ink\/toner.\u00a0 That’s the big money-maker for them, anyway.<\/p>\n

2. Typing states in forms.<\/strong>\u00a0 When filling out a form you literally fill out every line… except the state.\u00a0 You get a pull-down, instead.\u00a0 You’re on a roll typing then have to come to a screeching stop and pick an option.\u00a0 Eh, I guess they figure most people don’t know their state’s two-letter abbreviation.<\/p>\n

3. Why there needs to be a “cancel” button on a toaster.<\/strong>\u00a0 What the deuce?\u00a0 Back in the day… when I walked to school in the snow uphill both ways… you simply pushed the lever up.\u00a0 And it worked just fine.\u00a0 Why wouldn’t that still work?<\/p>\n

4. Why “the little people” donate to political campaigns.<\/strong>\u00a0 After the election you are no longer important to them.\u00a0 Plus, “neck-and-neck” races end up being 10 point blow-outs, anyway.<\/p>\n

5. Why people thank Facebook group administrators for approving their membership in the group.<\/strong>\u00a0 Is there a skeleton in your closet as to why they might not?<\/p>\n

So there ya go.\u00a0 A handful of life’s mysteries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
