Baffle me too
22/09/2005I was reading Things that baffle me posted by Gail Armstrong, mostly nodding in agreement, but sometimes completely disagreeing. So, I came up with my own list of baffling things.
Furry toilet seat covers, instant coffee, instant juice—in fact almost anything ‘instant’, Chihuahua dogs, drug addictions, people using ‘affect’ instead of ‘effect’ (or vice versa), email spam, $1,000 shoes, car stereos more expensive than my car, bad wine, rich kid environmentalism, totalitarian ideologies, beer + ice, people who misspell my name (L-U-I-S, easy), mimes, one-ply toilet paper, fat women in hipsters, rap, hip-hop and related music.
Things that baffle her but do not baffle me: trigonometry, black & white photos in art books, and socks + sandals (that I love).
