I just don't get itPoor Semiret, he's foreign and has no idea if he "should laugh about the whole 'only playing music when they are out of ice cream' thing or not." There's also a Far Side cartoon that has had him stumped for almost 20 years.
What don't you understand? What have you politely gone along with whilst internally going WTF?

ShoppingSpecifically for clothes.
I see people going round shops, and buying all manner of crap. Stuff like sweaters/t-shirts/etc that look like they've been left on the rack inside out, with all the seams exposed. Why? Just use a normal one, that you surely already own, and turn it inside out!
People paying £40+ for a shirt. WHY?
As a general rule, £15 is my absolute maximum limit for any item of clothing, unless it's something like a proper suit, or a good pair of shoes.
Occasionally I'll stretch, but it has to be something I really want.
More often than not, I can get everything I need online. I know what size clothes I need, so that's no problem. I certainly don't need to drag anyone else with me for opinions. I know what I want.
What especially gets me is that if more people took that approach, the clothing companies would have no choice but to reduce their prices to something more reasonable. But no - people are ****wits!
I could go on, but I feel compelled to insert a tired old cliché about length/girth/etc and proclaim that you all love it. So:
No apologies for length and girth. You love it, you filthy lot.
