... say they can't understand people who do or don't do things? I know I'm stating the obvious here, but it crops up on a lot of threads. Are people really so small-minded and unimaginative that they cannot possibly conceive of someone who doesn't do everything exactly the way they themselves do?

We are, after all, a group of women who spend at least some of our time 'talking' on the internet to a bunch of virtual strangers. I bet a lot of people in RL would be more Hmm about that than about a lot of the hobbies/interests/whatever that some people on here say they 'can't understand'.

Each to their own, surely?

P.S. I'm fully aware that I've stepped on my own point with my thread title, before you all rush to point it out, thanks Grin

I dont think it's a case of people are small minded as such.

I think most people can see the pro's and con's of each decision, but after weighing up the choices they cannot see why someone would still go ahead with what they feel is the undesirable choice.
