what daft things have you heard other say or believe that they think are true?

[joko]

to start off with a daft 'truth', i know 2 people who believe chives are the tops of spring onions and argued about it...despite being show a packet of chives...

i have heard a number people add an M to the word voluptuous, to make it volumptuous...no idea why so many though....but one person actually rather smugly corrected me with this...

I once heard of some cretin who reckoned that his computer's keyboard didn't have a Shift key!!! LOL! What an idiot!

[bobjugs12]

I had a 'conversation' on here a few months back about patriotisim, military, and the afghan conflict. He went through eleventeen posts saying how I knew nothing about the Afghan conflict; how I was a left-wing tree hugger; and how dare I comment on the military as I obviously knew nothing, he's got mates in the Army don't ya know!
Other people warned him that maybe I was the wrong person to say that to but he didn't listen, so I let him rant till his heart was content then told him what I did as a job. he was quite apologetic and strangely subdued after that lol

[joko]

lol, not quite what i was getting at there bob...

another is, many people think UHT milk will last for weeks after opening it, an even seen them drink it...if they only read the label that its only longlife while still sealed...once opened its to be treated as fresh milk...

also know many people who believe skimmed milk is just milk with water added...even ,met someone once who advised me to 'make my own' because id get more milk for the same price...haha

just thought of another, ive seen many people signal on a bend in the road..not undertsanding that, well its just a curve, you are not actually turning off the road...and it actually misleading as other may think you are turning into a driveway

i actually once nearly hit a girl as she arrogantly slowly strutted out into the road, on a bend and stared at me, mouthing 'you're not indicating!' we argued a bit but she didnt understand that i hadnt need to as it was just a curve, anyway i ended the conversation with 'well i guarantee you'd have been more hurt than me if i hadnt slammed on an that she may want to learn the highway code before choosing odd moment and odd behaviour in an attempt to 'educate' other road users...haha fool

Truth-if someone is having a nose bleed,tip their head back!Honest
Oh yeah and the kids will do the dishes tomorrow without being asked lol
Also did you know hair grows quicker if you have it trimmed regularly?

The one that annoys me more than it should is those people who think they have to drink 2 litres of water every day on top of all other fluids they consume....and the folks who think they can get toned abs by doing sit ups but still being overweight.!

[merciasounds]

people who think the word is chimley, when they mean chimney, or feb-u-ary, when they mean february - or pronounce the word aitch with an 'h' sound at the beginning of the word - 'hay-tch' ...I could go on!!

[boxtops]

Pacific instead of specific, grrrr!

I was told the other day when the planes weren't flying, that because there were no vapour trails, the sun would be hotter. This sounds so unlikely that it could just be true - thoughts please??!

Two people were arguing over alcohol. The person who said that you can drink as much red wine (but shouldn't drink other alcohols at all) as you can because its good for you won. But the other person was right, who said you can have alcohol occaisionaly and a glass or two of red wine is the best.

mick...i suggest you learn to read and COMPREHEND the point of a post before you comment...your comment is nonsensical and your knee jerking is laughable

my point was that i was actually stating the worrying issue that with a bit of clever bluffing and waffle, they could probably have won many more votes...and it struck me as odd that a party that is hated as much as them havent emplyed those tactics and hired a master linguist to confuse people into believing they are good...is that any clearer for you? im sorry you need things spelling out for you...

[yogasun]

Agree with you daffy I am fed up with disputing this water myth thing.
I am also constantly irritated by people who think men have prostrate glands rather than prostate.

I heard about a women whose husband died of a massive miocardial infarct. She told her family that he'd died of a "massive internal fart".

Mr Boo and I once had quite a heated conversation with his best friend about blue whales of all things.

Can't remember how we got into discussing them, but his friend was utterly 100% convinced they were extinct, and was arguing till he was blue in the face he was correct.

[joko]

i was once informed that the sky was blue because the sea was reflecting up onto it...the fact that the sky was also blue over land and that the sky wasnt like a big shiny ceiling was irrelevant apparently...
