The "Have You Ever Noticed" Thread [View all]

Sort of like the pet peeve thread, but more involved. This is the thread in which you describe something odd or annoying that seems contrary to logic.

It can be about a pet peeve: Have you ever noticed that people with the best/loudest car audio systems have the worst taste in music?

It can be something about pets: Have you ever noticed that dogs love to jump in lakes, streams, even sprinklers, but they are averse to going out in rain? (At least my dog is.)

It can be a Murphy's Law scenario: Have you ever noticed that, as soon as you take a shower, you will need to do something strenuous and get all sweaty again?

So let's hear your "Have you ever noticed..." insights.
