What things work differently than you expected?

I’ll start. Each room in my house has a heater vent (sometimes called a “register”). These vents have ducting that runs from the heater directly to the floor (or wall) heater vents. Given this, I expected my bathroom heater vents, which come out from the kick plate on the bathroom cabinets, to have ducting that comes up from the floor under the cabinet directly to the heater vent.

Nope! The ducting just emits the warm air under the bathroom cabinet. The ducting is not connected to the heater vent AT ALL. It just relies on the bottom of the cabinet being mostly sealed. So warm air emitted under the cabinet will push out the air through the heater vent. Not how I expected this to work!

Ok, your turn.

Electricity, but I learned pretty quickly!

Did you know you’re supposed to steer a horse with your feet?!?

Girls.
Do I win the thread?

We’re not things!

Agreed. But to men, the situation often feels like this.

Yes, I was kidding. Neither girls umpteen years ago when I was a boy, nor women since then, are things.

They still work differently than I was originally expecting. Which says more about the cluelessness of my all-male upbringing than it does about women.

Sorry if I bumped your hot-button.

I love how the indicator lights won’t say if the Woman is ‘On’ or ‘Off’.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Exhibit ‘A’.

Still not quite right. You use your legs, inner thighs, butt and weight balance more than your feet.

We talking about girls again?

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Did not know that fire conducts electricity. Huh.

Fiction. Apparently readers are lobotomized monkeys who can’t pay attention if someone isn’t being murdered in sentence 1.

I could be wrong, but this doesn’t sound at all right. Sounds like some very shitty workmanship.

Like something *I *would do.

We had all 3 bathrooms remodeled a few years ago. All were set up this way originally, and how they were done by the remodel. This is my only experience with this so I can’t comment on whether this is accepted or shitty. :smiley:

Back when I started doing cat rescue, I learned that when you have a tomcat’s balls cut off, the fat pads in his cheeks would go away. Who woulda thunk that cutting small parts off one end would make big parts on the other end disappear?

Birth control pills.

Life, the Universe, and Everything.

But, but, but…42 is a perfectly cromulent answer to any question!!!

Ididn’t know that, thanks for the info!:smiley:
