Did you ever notice...

that it always seems to rain on the night you put your trash or recyclables out? I always feel sorry for the people that have to collect them.

Anyone else have any not-so-scientific observations?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
when you say something like "it's BOUND to rain today" it doesnt. It just looks overcast and threatens to rain..

OR you think "ooh, its sunny this morning, i won't need my raincoat", then as soon as you go out, it pisses down ALL day... bloody England.
 
When you decide to drive at night in a see-thru nightgown, you will get in a wreck. Not me...my girlfriend. I only wear non see-thru nightgowns when I drive. :biggrin:
 
When you know an important parcel/person is going to be at your house in the morning, and you wait for ages for it, and then when you take a shower, the postie/person rings the bell. The amount of times i have scared the postman by answering the door dripping wet with a towel round my waist...

lol poor you. Where I live, it's very easy to smell when it is about to rain.

First of all, I hope she wasn't seriously injured. Second, did she have a coat or anything to cover up with? :eek: Details, we need details! :eek: :biggrin:

Did you ever notice that someone will start an interesting story and then leave you hanging for the details! :biggrin:

No injuries, it was pouring down rain and she skidded into a ditch. Nothing to cover up with, I don't think it was extremely see through, but bad enough.

Ever since that happened to her, I make sure that I am always dressed for a public audience when I get into the car.
 
if it were white then...

When you need something the most it is never there...

I also have a problem that i look at my watch at exactly the same time every day...11:11 am... it freaks me out so much.
 
Ah, jimmy p, that can be easily explained by a phenomenon originating from your circadian clock.

My locker never opens when I'm in a bad mood.
When I think a day is going to be boring, it turns out to be good.
If I think a day is going to be bad, its good (or rarely, its bad) and vice versa
When I think I'm going to be late for P.E., I'm always really early.

Like Newton said : for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

They say it was just such an incident that cured J. Edgar Hoover of the see-thru nightgown habit.
