Things that bemuse, perplex, befuddle and flummox you

[Daves]

I thought a new thread might be in order. It/They really don't piss you off, but they do make you say wtf!?? The downside with the thread I see is they don't tend to stick in the memory like things you like or piss you off. I had a heap in mind earlier, buggered if I can think of most of them now!:oops:

Why do retailers of mens shorts and trousers only tend to stock small sizes? I thought we were a nation of fatties?

Ditto for shoes, try finding anything bigger than an 11 or perhaps a 12 in most shops? We are breeding them bigger, so why no larger sizes?

[Marto65]

Go to Hong Kong Daves .... no shoes will fit there.

[kingslayer33]

Daves,

I'm a little bemused and perplexed that you didn't use one of my favourite words in the title - Flummoxed.

[Courty]

Why do retailers of mens shorts and trousers only tend to stock small sizes? I thought we were a nation of fatties?

The fatties lie in wait for the stock to hit the shelves, then ambush the store and buy them all up before you can get there. ;)

Daves,

[Dotty]

Same problem.

Busted a zip at work (thankful for safety pin in first aid kit), and went to the Rhodes mega-mall, but could only find $140 trousers for 32-35" waists. So back in the car to visit Lowes at Burwood. Heaven!

With hindsight, should have gone to the DFO at Homebush, based on the size of the bogans failing to give way at the stop sign exiting that place.

[LeftyHoges]

Why size 36 pants are always made 3 inches longer than a pair of size 34 pants. I'm 6 foot even & not once have I had to have a pair of size 34 pants taken up but now that my 26 year old gut has given up any pretence of trying to look, and therefore be, flat I've had to go to size 36's, which ALL require at least 2 inches taken up if not more.

So because I've broken the 90kg barrier I'm instantly 6 foot 4?!?!

WTF!?!?

[Marto65]

Hmmm ... maybe you guys should ring doctor carl and ask him why?

WTF!?!?

That's why I go to Lowes. You need to look for the 92ST tag rather than the 92R.

I keep telling myself that ST stands for strong-man. Or standard. Or stranger. Or ... (Anything but ??out.)

ps. Makes colour selection easier, as it usually only comes in plain black, navy or charcoal.

Am sitting in an airline lounge, early morning. 2 punters opposite me are shoving various pieces of food and anything else they can lay their hands on into their carry on luggage. On previous flights have I missed something, is the food that good or once you are a tight git, you feel compelled to live the rest of your life that way?

Hang on ... I am 6'2" and wear size 36 and they are the right length for me 90% of the time.

I've just been for an ultrasound and an xray on my left shoulder.

Why cant the radiologist tell me .. or even just give me a hint.. as to what they may or may not have found?

Nope .. go see your doctor ... we will tell him in our secret language.

I am bemused, perplexed and flummoxed. It doesnt bother me ... let them play their secret games.

[PeteyD]

Annoying isn't it.

[Marto65]

the worst bit is if the GP charges you full whack for the 30 second consultation to refer you for an Xray and then whacks you again to come back, only for him to look at them for another 30 seconds and refer you to a specialist or tell you nothing is wrong.

[Ferrins]

Once a year I like to go into a retail shop and plead ignorance and let the salesman have his way with me. I don't believe in searching for the best value always, so this is my annual wood duck yearly retail butt lash outing.
So today I went into WOW and said that I need a HDMI cord and he said that the bargain priced $70 Sonig was not good enough for me and the $130 24 gold plated connector one was the go. I said wow you have been so helpful and made the purchase. My bemused son said for $20 online I would of got all I need.

This pales in comparison to the $1800 Zegna suit and the $1600 elephant skin boots, from previous years.

A few things spin me out whenever I go shopping.
I will just mention one for now.
Bought my little one a special treat, bacon and cheese roll from Bakers Delight. Cost $2.80
Went to the chemist to get some paracetamol. Got a hundred pack for $2.50
WTF

[kev]

It befuddles me the amount of time people are prepared to spend in a car driving around a shopping centre car park to save and extra 50 yards worth of walking from the back of the carpark.

+1000

I pretty much head to the back straight away these days. It's funny coming back out and seeing the same car waiting or still driving around looking for a park. Or have someone stalk you most of the way back to your car only to turn back because they think it's too far away.

The privacy policy with regards to Golflink numbers.

I got a tip off a mate for Capital Commander today, but they thought it would be at eights or tens. So I put 5 ew on. It gets up at $2.90/1.30.

Where did the weight of money come from?

[jaybam]

The privacy policy with regards to Golflink numbers. I. Just. Don't. Get it. I belive that one of our moderators got caught out once by their boss through a golflink number. Gained it through this site if i remember correctly. Said boss then checked golflink site with the number and saw the " sick days " were actually golf days. Or something similar to that.

[TheTrueReview]

[Peter]

Perplex.

Boxing Day 'sales'. Are the prices actually lower than they were a week prior?

Furthermore, if they are genuinely discounted does this just show how big retail profit margins are here in Australia? Surely it's not all superseded stock that they are trying to get rid of.

[markTHEblake]

No it does not mean the retail margins are too big. Inventory does not work the way you think, selling excess stock at a loss to get rid of it is sound business practice.

[Peter]

Are you suggesting that this is all excess stock that the stores need to get rid of? I find that a little hard to believe.

[Lobsta]

Around christmas with all the public holidays pay, overtime pay, bonuses, Christmas parties, etc, a lot of businesses need to liquidate inventory (turn things into money) to stay cash flow positive (have the money in the bank to pay the bills). Even if the goods are sold at a net loss (less than cost+overheads) they will usually still be sold barely at a gross profit (more than cost). But the business must sell their items, even at a loss, because if they don't have the money in the bank to pay their staff, they have no staff, if they can't pay their rent, they can't open, if they can't pay their suppliers, they have no stock. So in the short term they have to sell at close to a loss to keep the wheels of their business moving because of the large number of outgoings at occur all at once, they need the money in their accounts.

Also, you must remember that the wholesalers/manufacturers are in a similar situation, so they often compensate the retailers in credits or discounts on further purchases to offset the price reductions. So even though the retailer may be selling the item at less than what they originally paid for it, they are still operating at a net profit after supplier compensation is taken into account. That happens especially with Xmas stock. Retailers don't want to be that store that runs out of candy canes or Xmas lights, so they buy heaps at the advice of the supplier. Then after Xmas, it is more expensive for a supplier to credit the entire item and pay to have it returned to sell next year, so they credit the retailer 50% of cost and the retailer sells it as 50% off while still making the same profit (%), and slightly less profit ($).

Also, not everything is on sale. Look at the impulse items near the registers. They are probably at the same price, and those cheaply made pieces of crap or bottles of coke, or sticks of gum, are often the highest profit (%) items in the store, and more shoppers passing through the registers means more cheap impulse crap, more coke and more gum is sold then on a usual day, which offsets the net loss on regular stock.

Lobby (I can do more than put stickers on boxes of drugs)

[popper81]

We just have a shit load of lay bys that we didn't deliver before Xmas to now sell.. The things we do to get our name in the news..

Newell Hwy, north of Moree, earlier this morning I overtook a woman driving a Hyundai who was doing about 105 in a 110 zone. About two minutes later I was stuck behind a road train doing 100 looking for a safe place to overtake. Up comes the Hyundai and proceeds to overtake both of us with a rise about 200m ahead with no visibility past it. WTF?

Is this a sign of the onset of Gheyness....... or is it permitted due to the fact I was too lazy to go downstairs and get some beer out of the beer fridge ?

I came in this thread to post the exact same thing. I was ready to question someone at the petrol situation today because he did just that. I pulled a 3 point turn in the wife's wagon, no problem. This guy sat there in a Yaris. He could have got out, picked it up and turned it around if he wanted. I don't know why, but it frustrates me so much.

[Nuffie]

Spotting a vietnamese restaurant named after a famous dog that starred in 'The Wizard of Oz'. Hopefully the name didn't resemble any content that's included in the menu...

And THEN 5 minutes later, seeing a drunken old fart walk past the entrance to this same resturant, turning nearby heads as he goes, due to the 'stench' that follows his brown stained rear end - like the cloud that follows the Pink Panther (just a lot more of an unpleasent one on the nose).
Yes... it certainly was all happening in East Victoria Park yesterday afternoon :roll:.

This guy sat there in a Yaris. He could have got out, picked it up and turned it around if he wanted. I don't know why, but it frustrates me so much. Why do a three-point turn? The nozzle always reaches over to the other side. The bloke I saw last week was waiting behind another car when I arrived. Parked in the empty one next to him, pulled the nozzle over the other side filled up, paid and drove off and he was still waiting behind the other car.Probably an iPhone user too

[BrisVegas]

speaking of petrol stations... It bemuses me that my wife seems nonchalant to the orange fuel light. IT's almost as if the light comes on and the thought process is that she should probably fill up on the coming weekend.

Went to take the kids for a scooter ride around the parklands today and got 100 yards up the road and conked out. First time I've run out of fuel in 21 years driving. When I started the car I saw the fuel light and the gauge on 'E' and resolved to fill up straight away. I didn't get the chance.... We've had countless conversations about not running the car to empty. Especially with diesels, they need a decent amount of fuel in them as the fuel plays a cooling role as it's cycled back through the tank. Anyway, I give up. Girls just don't "get" this stuff.

On a positive note, RACQ ultra care worked well. The bloke turned up in 30 minutes with a complimentary jerry of diesel.

[markTHEblake]

Its prett gay to run out of petrol, I bet you blamed her indoors!

[PeteyD]

Running diesels dry is not good karma

[BrisVegas]

Its prett gay to run out of petrol, I bet you blamed her indoors!

She fessed up to the RACQ guy. I've resisted giving her a lecture. I only drive the car on weekends. I just service it, clean it, fill it up with fuel etc etc....

The wagon is lpg. It would have been a struggle to attach the nossle if I was fighting the length of the hose as well.

[PeteyD]

LPG is a bit different. But small petrol cars it is easy enough to take the hose over.

That looks suspiciously like the Daintree river, but the tour operators would never allow that kind of behaviour. Just idiotic. If that croc didn't have such an obviously full belly, it could have very easily nabbed him and he would never be seen again.

Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfYdCPOxfPQ) that video I was telling you about. Btw, I looked it up (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/health-science/death-of-a-monster/story-e6frg8gf-1111118162303), back in the 1950's a croc was caught outside Normanton, QLD that reportedly measured over 8.5m.

+1000. I lecture my other half every time I get in to drive her car and find the light is already on. I've told her not to bother calling me if (and when) she ever runs out of fuel. :roll:

I call my wife 2 bars, because that is the most petrol I ever see in her car.

Have asked her a thousand times what she will do if she runs out of petrol with 2 kids in the car, but she takes no notice.

[Eldrick]

i know of a women who wouldn't know what a petrol cap looks like.
she has been known to call her husband to let him know that the petrol light was on.
he then drove to her work to pick up the car take it to the servo,fill it up then drop it back.
she didn't like driving his car so swapping cars wasn't an option
