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

Hotels in Spanish resorts get kick backs from lilo sellers to stop them having a 'help yourself to last week's lilos' sign and an area to leave all the plastic stuff you paid for but don't want to take home.

100%

Yes! That’s so obvious. Why hadn’t I realised.

Door knobs deliberately move or get bigger just so they can snag you when you’re angry as you go by

How dare you. Sudocreme is a little pot of miracles. Love the stuff. Always have some in the house even though mine are out of nappies. It cures everything

Built-in obsolescence isn't a conspiracy theory, it's just a fact of life these days. Nothing is made to last so that they can keep consumerism at the highest level.

That every important letter sent by local authorities, the NHS, lawyers etc. will be carefully timed to arrive on a Friday or Saturday so that you have to stew on it all weekend without being able to respond.

😂😂😂

I don't know why, but that just tickled me

Tights are deliberately designed to be flimsy and ladder easily so you have to keep buying more unless you cut off the unladdered legs and wear them together to create a new pair.

I think this one might be true!

I thought this was a known thing? There are fancy more expensive lenses which are meant to help combat this????? Maybe I dreamt this!

Because Leonardos career has been going since the late 90s when it might have been a problem, and back then, he was a heartthrob that teenage girls hung posters of in their bedrooms. Coming out as gay would have changed absolutely everything for him and it would have held him back, sadly.
It might not be a problem now (although sadly I still think people would view him differently) but he can't now admit he's lied all thsse years. He's stuck pretending.

Not saying I beleive this theory, but I think it makes total sense.

The young people car black boxes are rigged. Only ever score 4/5 for night time driving and the car is 100% never driven at night or even in the evening. Only score 2/5 for smoothness and I dispute that too! 😁

As soon as you go to the loo the delivery/ phone call you've been waiting all day for happens.

I think one of my cats is a Russian sleeper agent. She understands Russian better than English and she's always watching me.

Or they arrive when you make something to eat, sit down and take the first mouthful...

This is genius! Will suggest it to DD who seems to need a new pair every day!

Yep, bank holiday weekends too, so you can’t do anything until Tuesday.

The single sock dilemma - have you checked down the back of the drum of your washing machine? Socks are small and they can get sucked past the rubber seals and into the works.

My conspiracy theory features Big Biro. Whenever you really really need a pen, all the working ones in the house have gone (wormholes in space) and you are left with the one that only gives you little stammers of ink. You can buy a new pack of biros, but the same thing will happen.

If they sell the inflatables in a shop at the hotel and you discard the wrapper at the hotel the cleaners save the wrappers and then when you discard the inflatables they deflate it put it back in the wrapper and sell it again.

we avoided this scam by taking the inflatable crocodiles home in our suitcases 😂

Or "our team know you are waiting (and will answer your call as soon as they can)". No they don't. And even if they did, they wouldn't care

Easy peel cellophane on ready meals/bacon etc is anything but easy!

The sun is different now. As a child in the 80s, I didn't wear sunscreen, it was never a 'thing' - not justifying it, don't think it crossed my parents minds. But now, I have factor 50 on my face 365 days a year and on my body if its over 18 degrees and I still feel like I'm almost instantly burning. I'm not a sun worshipper anyway but I can't be out it it without fear of getting burnt.
Or is it that sunscreen is crap/lying? I use decent stuff that gets a good rating and I reapply 🤷‍♀️

Interesting! I wouldn't be surprised at all.

It's you that different, not the sun. Your skin is different, you're older.
