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

Definitely!!! This is 100% the case with dishwasher tablets!!!

I know IABU but I suspect my dentist of sabotage as a piece of enamel seems to chip off after each visit - It's happened several times to me

Dark forces are behind every single shoe, sandal, trainer, boot etc. abandoned on the roads. They always make me feel uneasy whenever I spot them just . . . resting there.

Legend has it that odd socks turn into tupperware lids. 👀

(Tupperware lids that don't fit ANY of your tupperware tubs!)

My brother in law has got hearing aids (had them for a couple of years,) and I swear his hearing without them in - was much worse than it was before he ever had hearing aids. (Like, 2 months later!)

My elderly male neighbour thinks that his battery keeps failing because the police are controlling his car! He’s written a couple of negative opinion pieces on the internet and is convinced they’re onto him. Advice to get his car electrics checked falls on deaf ears.

There’s science to why it rains on the school run. It’s the hottest part of the day and thus the time that clouds are most likely to be saturated - resulting in rainfall

That big packets are more economical. You have loads so add an extra scoop of dishy or washing powder, extra squirt of washing up liquid. If you have little packets, you eke it out and make it last longer.

They call plastic "film", so that we don't feel bad about it going to landfill.

The fashion at the time was for strapless wedding dresses and I think Kate wanted one. But the RF insist on shoulders being covered* so she did it with lace for the main service. I think it showed prominent nipples snd so I hated it. It was not the same dress as the evening dress. I think the evening dress is the dress she would have liked to have had.

*Meghan's dresses, including her wedding dress, cover the last cm of shoulder and that's it, I suspect trying to just meet the 'shoulders covered' criteria, with, to me, a fabulously successful effect.

As an aside, people on here go mad, every time there is a royal wedding, speculating on what colours the bridesmaids will wear. Yet for wvery royal wedding, the bridesmaids ALWAYS wear he same colour as the bride.

I certainly believe in built in obsolescence. My resistance is to eke out the life of a product as long as I can, rather than replace it, even if it’s somewhat inconvenient.

As a child, I used to believe that things I didn’t like had been invented to spite me. Mint, fizzy drinks, balloons, and the stupid rule that you had to be blindfolded when playing pin the tail.

I went to Specsavers today for an eye test. When I got home there was a letter waiting for me from Specsavers with a £10 eye test voucher. Swear the postman waited until I’d gone out..

I think they come in my house and steal my wipes. I always lose packets of wipes. I don't think I've ever finished a packet, I just lose it and buy another one.

I love the eye glasses theory.

The conditioner always runs out first, so you end up buying the same conditioner again to match the shampoo.

Cash cards play hide and seek you tear the house apart trying to find it and when you admit defeat and cancel it it presents itself in a really obvious place you have already looked in ten times

Also, that the TV adverts are louder than the TV show because it’s know that people will leave the room during the adverts to make a cup of tea or get a snack etc. The louder the advert, the more chance people will hear it when leaving the room!

Why would she lie about that though? You'd think they'd use it as some sort of "look how economical Kate is!" like when she wears the same coat more than once 😄

All inclusive luxury resorts deliberately put weight scales in the bathroom, so that you are more conscious about your weight and eat less. This is how it works for me at least lol.

This one definitely 👌

They make clothes with all the missing socks.😂

Omg I thought I was the only one! It massively pisses me off! My DP says I'm beong irritational 🤣🤣

Steve Jobs is still alive. I served him when I worked at Wetherspoons. He was definitely Steve Jobs, the two other people on the bar that day can corroborate this, along with two people from the kitchen who I called up to have a look. DH wasn’t working that day and doesn’t believe us, he thinks we are orchestrating some kind of wind up - but that was Steve Jobs, and yes he was at Wetherspoons. I am not crazy. This was not mass psychosis.

OK, so I've just gone on google and I've had a look at the two dresses side by side an I now 100% believe your theory. That is the same bloody dress!!!

Umbrellas are made poorly so they break otherwise ‘Big Umbrella’ would go out of business.
