Question Could somebody please tell me...?

In the spirit of the DONOT.COM thread...
I am starting a "Could SOMEbody PLEASE tell me...?" thread in an attempt to vent some of my own anger & frustration from so MANY of Why-did-they-do-thats and What-were-they-thinkings I encounter on a DAILY basis... If anyone out there can answer any these questions for me, or has a question of your own, please feel free to post.

Could somebody please tell me --

...why a particular group of white people in my office think it's okay to make jokes about "nappy" hair?

...why everytime I call a customer service number, I have to talk to Sassy Ass Sally or Rude Ass Robert?

...who told my manager he was "down" with "a lot of the blacks up in heah"? (He actually said this to me).

...why it has become appropriate to use the terms Baby Mama and Baby Daddy?

...why some of my fellow SisterFriends think it's okay to sport "club wear" to the Informational/Rush?

Could somebody please tell me --

...who told my ex boyfriend to start playing on my phone again?

...what my co-worker was thinking when she advised myself and about ten other people in the breakroom that she just had an Orgasm while talking to her GirlFriend on a telephone in our office?????

...why my ex-best-friend thinks that she can attend Rush activites at a local school which she does not attend... why she told told those Members there that she was wanting to pursue membership on their campus because she doesn't "like" the Members on her campus...and why she thought she could do so without any repercussion?

I like the spirit of this one!

Could someone please tell me......

......Why some people are still wearing open toe/thong sandles and it's COLD outside?

......Why the mananger at my job chooses to discribe the black shoplifter as "This really BLACK girl with big monkey lips"?

.....Why couples think it's ok to go into dressing rooms and try to get it on because of the rush it gives them?

......Why professers feel it's ok to come into the classroom late and call you out when you make it there five minutes after the scheduled time?

......Why the guys that seem to be just perfect are ALWAYS taken?

.......why white women tell me white girls wouldn't dream of have a butt as big as mine?

.....Why women who wear a size 0-10 think they are sooooooo FAT?

......Why every pimp player mack OLD sugar daddy approaches ME?

.....Why people continue to say "FUDDAH"(for to) as in "She told me fuddah go to da stoe", or "He told us fuddah complete page 3"

.....Why people have the nerve to act as though they're angry with you when THEY hit YOUR car?

......Why people that can't do two things at the same time try to drive and talk on a cell phone?

.....Why some men ask that dumb question "How was it?" without realizing that they shouldn't have had to ask?

Could somebody please tell me.....

...Why some people on BlackPlanet post pics of themselves half naked?? Like we really want to see that!

...Why it is okay for Jennifer Lopez to have a big butt, but those that aren't people of color feel that they have to comment on mines?!

...Why is is that everytime my girlfriends and I go out to eat, I'm the only one with money??

...Why certain sistas here in Cali are STILL wearing the multi-colored synthetic weaves (orange, burgundy, pink)??

...Why am I the one approached by the brothas with the missing teeth/jheri-curl/pinky ring everytime me and my girlfriends go out??

...Why are some people wearing all white-and we are in the middle of storm season?

...Why people that work at certain department stores in my area think that I plan to steal and follow me around the WHOLE store?

...Is BLACKstreet changing members every new season? As well as Destiny's (DEMONS) Child? And why is it that everytime I see her on tv, she (Beyonce) is referred to as the "star"/"leading lady" of the group?? Where is the unity?!!

...Why is it okay for sistas to be a$$ naked in videos, but when D'Angelo did "(How Does It Feel) Untitled" -all the brothas wanted to make a big deal out of it??

...Why is it that people used to talk about us (people of color) wearing dreadlocks, but everytime I turn the corner, "they" are now sporting them???

Classy... I see we feel the same way about those chicks? The group should be named "Beyonce's Child and the Pips" the other two girls are nothing more than back-up singers.

-- Okay I have more -- gotta get out my gripe...

Could somebody please tell me --

...why people (black men esp.) will put 20 inch rims on any of the following vehicles: Honda Civics, Mitsubishi Mirage, Ford Aspire, Ford Focus, Toyota Corrolla, or Kia Sephia????

...why the janitorial staff in our building NEVER empties MY trash can?? Should I be taking this personally?

...why the women's restroom on this floor (normally pretty clean) smells like fish this morning????

Now you all see why I started this thread... I am constantly questioning the actions of those around me.... Maybe it's just me -- am I the one who's mixed up????

Novella, It's better to have them to tell you to put on a few pounds rather than someone telling you to take off a lot! LOL!


Why is it:

Strangers come up to you telling you the best way to lose weight when they have rolls and rolls themselves? Practice what you preach!

ROTFLMAO!!!!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one thinking the same thing.

My turn:

...why is it that minivans go so fast and they are supposed to be a "safe family car".

...why do people stop to look at accidents on the beltway, but were upset that they were sitting in traffic for 40 minutes.

...why do slow drivers cut in front of you to drive slow and you're in the fast lane.

...why do credit card companies broadcast their low interest rates for balance transfers, but won't give someone the card to do so.

...why do the credit agencies post "last payments" on your credit report-"it got paid didn't it".

...why do people think it's alright to call someone "skinny" or "bony", but wouldn't call a obese person fat to their face.

...why some women get weaves and don't run a comb through it.

...why some women in the DC metro area won't give up on the Parasucco's, there are other jeans to wear.

...why some women think it's alright to wear "club shoes" to work.

...why people play themselves by driving 40 minutes to Tysons Corner Mall to window shop.

...why do the guys you used to talk to call you every time you come home for break talking about, "how are things" and "can I see you".

..why do guys think it's alright to ask a woman to buy them something, but if a woman were to ask, she's a "golddigger"

...why males in BP leave notes talking about "can I get to know you" and live 5 states away.

...why males on BP leave notes asking "what you like to do" and "where you from" and all that info is on your page.

...why males on BP leave long distance phone #'s for you to call them.

...why males on BP know that you wouldn't talk to them, but still leave you a note anyway.

...why people on BP think that it's a place to meet your new future mate, it's not the personals people.

Could somebody please tell me:

1) why when I was in school, it used to be noble to be a teacher, but now my students make fun of me because of how much I make?
2) what is the freakin' obsession with Jennifer Lopez?
3)why did my last hair stylist finish my hair and then laugh at it? (b**** you did it!)
4)why do negroes always want to claim that you are moving to fast when you start to talk about relationships, but aren't worried about moving fast when asking for the panties?
5)why did my last boyfriend tell me "you'll be alright" when I told him (when we finished) that I didn't have an orgasm?
6)why is it that "You look like an AKA" can be said as a compliment or an insult? (Of course, you know what WE always take it as!)
