Things that make you ask why? WHY?

[PolaDeVeboise]

Mine is people who select the 'receipt' option at a cashpoint and then walk away leaving it hanging out of the machine. Why? WHY?

Sparkling to be honest I don't use scan and shop because the one time I did I got distracted and ended up with things in the trolley that I hadn't scanned. Tesco check your shopping the first few times and I was so embarrassed because I'd got 2 baby milk in there unscanned and I felt like a criminal when the checker 'caught' me. I was mortified. So it's completely put me off.

1 - people who stand right up your arse in a queue. When you move, they also move, whhyyyyyyy?

Stepping backwards into their toes cures that one quite well.

You do have to concentrate thenewaveragebear1983.

Give it another go. I think the chance of getting selected for a rescan is still worth using it.
If they had Scan and Shop at Lidl or Aldi I might go and shop there.

Why am I "not a proper man" because I don't like sports, don't drink and don't hang out in pubs? 

With you in this one Sneaky. DH & DS hate football and people look at them like they've just confessed to puppy farming.

Zero interest credit card. Contradiction in terms, surely?

@Sparklingbrook

Is it only in ASDA? I wish we had it here but we just have Morrisons and Aldi. Visited my friend in London and was incredibly excited to use it for the first time

@iklboo exactly! I said "I personally hate sports, I don't get them" not "I disembowel kittens for fun"

Around here it's in Waitrose, Tesco and Asda Sneaky. Not every store but most of them.

It would be fab in Morrisons.

You can pack an rearrange the bags to your heart's content and it's all perfectly arranged by the time you pay, then straight to the car.

These hideous shoes from Adidas. Just why?!?

People who take the time to bag their dogs poo and then can't be arsed to carry it to a bin.
Why do that. The worst bit, the actual picking up of the poo has been done.

Oh that sounds great! I'll petition Morrisons to bring it in. I don't have a car but if I could carry bags straight into a taxi without faffing or rearranging because 6 2L bottles have been put on top of my bread it'd be perfect!

You're convincing me sparkling, I spend literally hours shopping, most of it packing and unpacking!

People who get out of their cars, and piss up someone else's fence because they need to prepare, even though they're a grown adult driving a car, and about two minutes by car away from dozens of establishments with public loos?

And also why do people pay a lot of money for a personalised number plate that doesn't actually spell their name, or has the letters in the wrong order?

Why have personalised number plates in general @thenewaveragebear1983 ?

I don’t get it.

Surely it screams “look at me” for all the wrong reasons.

I'm picturing Sparkling at the entrance of Asda politely smiling and pushing scanners into customer's hands

Why do people spend money on utterly pointless things, especially when they do not have the money too.

Examples
Having nails “done”
Pocket toys for children
Fancy stationary
Clothes for one night out
Fake Eyelashes

feeling grumpy today

*to

Fancy stationary has a purpose though, doesn't it? Always brightens my Grandma's day to get a fancy letter.

People who cross the road - especially with children - only 10 or 20 yards away from a pedestrian crossing.

Speaking for myself I will get my nails "done" because it boosts my self esteem (rest of me is a car crash) and I enjoy it

Horses for courses

My WHY is not quite a TAAT but when a poster in AIBU takes a hostile view and bangs on the drum endlessly, BERATING THE OP AND REFUSING TO LET THEIR POINT DIE, even when the majority disagree, I just don't see what they get out of it really, I hate it when someone jumps down my throat on here, I come for relaxed chat and it just makes me feel stressed.

People that dont indicate in the car in front or on a roundabout.

Why, why, WHY

I could cry

Yes Sneaky perhaps I need to spread the word about Scan as you shop. But not to the point there are no scanners left.

Why do people buy bedding plants? They just die. What's the point of that?

Never mind bedding plants. Why do people buy enormous palm trees for their living room? Carol, you live in Stockport not Hawaii.

Also, why does every single person on this island say “hi, how are you?” When they couldn’t give a fiddlers fart at the answer to this question, why ask it, why?
This made me laugh. My DM used to say - don't ask Mrs X how she is, because she'll tell you!

That Hi How Are You is how Americans think about the British Alright?! apparently

They don't get it because they aren't being asked how they are

(According to various Youtubers and Buzzfeed)
