Because it's a nice way to have a beard but still feel clean cut. I'm not keen on the whole man bun fashion thing atm but I've always had short sides for my hair, didn't change when I grew a beard

People who take their food out of the microwave with 30 secs to go and not clear the timer

People who complain about new technology, via a tweet sent from their iPhone

Baby Boomers who complain about the way Gen Y's act, when it was them who was doing the raising

Why does strawberry ice cream not taste like strawberries?

CityRail, 99% of the train drivers can catch the train to work, but there has to be at least 1 driver who is forced to drive to the station. When trains are late for some crap reason, is it just because the lead train driver slept in?

Why is it when it rains, or at 4pm Saturday afternoon, people forget how to drive on Freeways, causing delays?

The universe is ever expanding, what is it expanding into? Not to mention the fact that when Big Bang supposedly happened in all places at once, with no set point. That blows my mind.

People who think they are being lied to when it comes to vaccines, but have no problem buying the latest superfood, anti-oxidant rubbish.

People who talk about not owning a TV as some sort of anti-mainstreamism to be aspired to, when in actuality they just stream all the shows they like.

Almond milk.

People who feel the need to immediately turn on something they once liked the moment it achieves commercial success.

The Ford ad, where the Ford car dealer is standing out front looking at the other car dealers and she's like "why do they have all these strange names for car sales? The Big One, Winners Circle, etc.? What do they all mean?" What do they all mean?! It's not that difficult, they're not cryptic crossword clues, I could explain them to you if you like.

I can understand that to an extent. For me, going for a run every now and then makes me feel better about eating stuff I know isn't good for me. Never at 5am though. That's messed up.

This. Since when did tights become acceptable attire?

Moths. They come out at night and are drawn to light. Why domt they come out during the day then?

Moths are the single most annoying insect on the planet when you're trying to sleep and they're repeatedly bumping into the window because that's where the moonlight is coming from. But they don't want to go out the **** window when you open it for them.
