"Things I don't get"

[WTFchris]

I don't get how you get to be in you mid-30's and you don't know your own social security #.

True story: the wife and I are closing on our house at the bank about 5 years ago. The couple that we are buying from (mid-30's) are in attendance, of course.

Well, as most of you know, when you close on a house, you have to fill out tons of paperwork and sign your name about 100 times. The dude we're buying from whips out his wallet and removes his tattered SS card so he can reference the number each time he needs it.

I hear you. I don't know how people don't know their DL# either (unless you just moved states). I had to fill that out so many times back in the part time job era that I know it by heart. Most people don't though, and I never understand it.

[MikeMyers]

I don't know my DL#.

[DrRay11]

Nor do I.

[Zekyl]

I don't get my girlfriend.

[Uncle Mxy]

I don't get your girlfriend either... not yet.

[Fool]

I don't know my DL#. I know part of it, but I still have to look when I'm asked for it (which isn't very often).

[Vinny]

I don't get why this "419" scammer really thinks someone would fall for this (sent to me in response to an Apartment ad on Craigs list) (For those not familiar with the scam, they agree to send a huge sum of money to pay for the entire lease up front, send you a real official looking check, and then a week later, before the check bounces, they ask you to wire them half the money back, letting you "keep" the difference for your troubles. I'm sure many of you have gotten the version where they claim to be an exiled African king needing your help to transfer their money out of Africa.):

I don't get the folks who don't have their DL# printed on their checks, given how often that comes up.

[Big Swami]

I don't get why I have to keep getting fucking laid off. I've got a rare and valuable skill, you pricks.

I don't get the people who use checks...besides for bills.

Seriously, they ask for a urine sample when you pay with one. Get a freeking check card already and stop slowing me down.

And while we are at it, I don't get the grociery shoppers too stupid to get the correct size item from the sale ticket on the shelf and then make the clerk rifle through the add at the check out holding everyone else up.
