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?

I had quite a few to get off my chest (part 1)iPods: They are more expensive than other players, but have less features, lower battery life, and white headphones that say "mug me". Why?
Other operating systems: I'm a fairly casual computer user, yet I must co-exist on the internet with techie people who keep talking about things like "Linux", and I have absolutely no clue. Apparently its an operating system, and apparently it's way better than Windows (because Microsoft are evil and rubbish apparently... personally I've never had trouble). You seem to need a computer science degree to install it, and then you seem to need to install new versions of one of the hundreds of open source versions every other day. That's more *convenient* than Windows?
Macs: Quite similar to the above. Apparently Macs are great, and anyone still using Windows is a scummy loser. No idea why.
Anime geeks: You know the type. The ones who have a LiveJournal filled with images of Anime characters, and text that looks mental because I haven't installed Japanese text, and they do smileys like this ^-^, and it's hard to understand a single thing they write because it's all about crazy obscure plotlines of videos you've never heard of. The whole thing leaves me puzzled.
