Silly little conspiracies you believe in

[Soubriquet]

Not serious ones like Diana was murdered etc, but silly little ones.

For example,

when it comes to wipes in a packet, I’m positive they rig it so more than one wipe comes out at a time. Then they make the sticky reseal not as sticky so they dry out quicker meaning you have to go and buy more instead of using what you’ve got

Fabric softener smell doesn't last as long encouraging you to buy scent boosters.

Wipes - get on shein ( I know, I know) and get a wipe bag. It's like a think plastic you put them in and pull them out through a plastic closer 👌🏻 they are much better than my description
I'm another for phones, smart speakers etc listening to you. Have a random conversation then you are seeing ads for it

That "hack" where you fill out a customer service questionnaire using a code on your McDonald's receipt and get cheap food, the last few times I've done it and tried to redeem the cheap food voucher it says "its already been used"
So i think its just a ploy to get you to fill out the questionnaire

My husband thinks once you become a glasses wearer your eyesight rapidly declines...

When you're on the motorway and the traffic suddenly slows down and bunches up for no apparent reason, this is because you're travelling through a patch of Slow Time. Otherwise known as Eddies in the Space Time Continuum.

Fact.

Catherine, Princess of Wales only had one wedding dress. There was a lace overlay for the church ceremony with the train that was removed for the evening reception and she added a sparkly belt and fluffy cardigan. That’s why there’s no ‘second dress’ to exhibit.

Mummy pig copied me cos I had a surprise pregnancy just before her

😁

The bods in the control room play silly buggers with signage when they're bored....that's why you don't see a stranded vehicle or congestion when they say you should.....though they could have been swallowed up by a stray black hole.

tbf they also mess around with the speed restrictions whilst watching the camera and going 'bwa ha ha' and stroking pedigree, white cats.

Please know that this train of thought will be part of my mindset forevermore. 🤯

I have a theory about lost socks - I think that elves steal them and turn them into random tupperware lids that don’t fit any of the tubs in your cupboard!

They turn into wire coat hangers.

Some airlines deliberately skew ETAs to make themselves look like they're always on time.

On second thoughts, that's a fact & not a theory.

We’ve always said that! Gives me rage as I hate carrying a bag and just want decent real pockets in my jeans!

That is a perfectly reasonably explanation…except why only one sock ? Why never both ?

Some of these will probably be explained by cognitive biases. Eg the rain on the school run one is down to negativity bias and then confirmation bias when we believe this to be true, that it does always rain at an inconvenient time.

I actually believe this.

Baby Jake's really mum was his sister, Ava.

It’s certainly got my niece nagging for a baby! And why on Earth did this news make Good Morning Britain?! Mummy Pig was interviewed FFS.

Toothpaste adverts show twice as much toothpaste on a toothbrush as you actually need.

That isn't a conspiracy theory though, it has been openly admitted and proven that that is what smart devices are doing.

How do you know if you've never called at a quiet time?

What I can’t seem to understand is how on Earth my new book is now in my suggestions on Amazon. I haven’t bought books on there for ages and then they tended to be a different genre to this recent one. I also haven’t spoken about these books as my husband doesn’t really read and certainly not about this topic! Weird…

it has now....I'm waiting for my others to be proven😎

Indeed. They packed in the plastic that is easier to recycle, too. Bloody Rodney Whitchelo.

lurking black holes wait till your socks are alone......
