Things I Don't Get

There's some things I just can't figure out.

I know that there's no accounting for taste, and I really believe that everyone has the right to have an opinion. But still, there's a few things I'll never understand:

Why anyone within thirty miles of Philadelphia would set foot inside a Subway franchise when we live in the sandwich Mecca of the universe.

Sandals with socks.

Find out what's happening in Ardmore-Merion-Wynnewoodwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Who’s really the “Best of the Main Line” when the local paper and the local magazine disagree.

Why 40-year-old men in minivans feel the need to race down Montgomery Avenue at 60 mph.  Get over the embarrassment, dude.  We know the Sienna was a practical choice, and we’re not judging you.

How a 90-pound woman, who took her driver’s test 20 years ago in a Honda Civic, can use that same license to operate a tank-like Cadillac Escalade ... and why she thinks it’s a good idea to have an extended cell phone conversation in it while she weaves her way through pedestrian traffic at Suburban Square.

Any pizza with barbecue sauce.

Why people think it’s OK to pay more attention to their smart phone than the people they are with.  Want an instant message? Here's one: You are being rude.

How a high-school kid who completely abuses the privilege of using a school district-issued laptop, and abrogates every responsibility that goes with it, can come away with a six-figure settlement.

How a school district can be so stupid as to let it happen when they could have easily gotten everyone to sign a simple security waiver (which involves remote-activated cameras) right from the beginning.

Why that same school district would build schools of equal size on both sides of the district when 70 percent of the people live on one side.

The “Housewives” of Bravo.

$200 jeans.

Parents who over-schedule their kids, and constantly complain about how busy they are.

People who have the cajones to say to the face of a volunteer that they, themselves, are “too busy” to volunteer.  Do you think that lady’s day has more than 24 hours? No. She’s made it a priority to give back to her community, and you haven’t.

Crocs.

People who say they love all the local shops in their town, and then do all their shopping at Target.

Did I forget anything?
