Durian fruit chocolates. WTF was someone thinking putting that filthy abomination into a chocolate coating and disguising just for a microsecond it's vile hideousness and eternal aftertaste.
Just wrong.
Wrong.
Hideous.
Reality.
We know it exists because we're here, and we can see it, feel it, smell it, and even detect it with clever devices like radio telescopes and things. But it's still just electro-chemical signals in the billions of neurons in our brains and trillions of connections between them that somehow interprets all this. In fact if you mess around with your brain with various substances then reality changes. How can we trust it? And if we can't is any of it real? I can't even comprehend what reality means let alone whether it exists.
On a lighter note, I don't understand why people want to buy kettles connected to the internet.

I was back in my home city of Durham last week, It's all fancy coffee shops & eaty places now! (& those chavvy smoke inhalation accessory outlets)
Knighthoods, people referred to as a national treasure.
Why someone would tell my wife and her friend who were sat outside our house to stop looking at him or he would punch their heads in.
Please help me find him!!!!
t’s all fancy coffee shops & eaty places now
I'm not sure that's recent though, and it's not surprising given that the cathedral is a UNESCO world heritage site (= lots of visitors) and there is a large student population for much of the year. I don't mind too much as long as there are enough local businesses to not spoil the character…
^How we can base our economy on making each other cups of coffee. It’s not going to end well.
SUVs in general, 99% of them never go off-road, more than 80% of new ones on sale today were never designed to go off-road. They’re pointlessly big on the outside, inefficiently small on the inside and every part of their design is at odds to good car design.
That’s because you’re entirely missing the point of an SUV/crossover - they’re NOT supposed to be an off-road vehicle, and quite a few are 4x4’s, the point is to make a fairly compact car with reasonable load space but a higher seating position for the very large number of people who don’t consider themselves to be Surfmatt or a driving god from Top Gear! I have got into a saloon car, where the seating position meant I was just looking over the top of the steering wheel! And I’m 5’10”!
People want cars they can get in and out of easily, not have to crawl out, or need someone to help them get out of the car. This is why Ford USA are no longer producing saloon cars, apart from the Mustang, which is a sports car. I find getting in and out of my Octavia increasingly problematic these days, my next car will be an SUV, probably a 4x4; who knows, with the right tyres, it might even venture off-road!
Gilets. Warm your torso but you still have cold arms.
No, there are many, many occasions when it’s cool enough to want to keep your torso warm, but with a long-sleeved jacket or top the sleeves would be pushed up, so a gilet avoids stretching the cuffs.
I’ve got a Fox Racing gilet I bought in Chamonix back in the late 90’s, it’s possibly an item of clothing I’ve worn the most, because it’s perfect for conditions when a tee shirt isn’t enough, but a jacket or sweatshirt is too much, both indoors or out.
Maybe you never venture outside your living room to need such an item...

Mansplaining to people about why they find some things puzzling, is wrong...
Leaf blowers
that **** who insists on sitting in the alotted seat number on their ticket on an otherwise empty train, even if it means sitting next to me or asking me to move!
Could be that they know the train is going to get busy at the next stop and don't want to move again?
Conversely, people who put their bags on the seat on a moderately busy train in the belief that it'll stop someone sitting next to them. It won't, because I sit there solely to piss them off.
Crisp eaters on trains. Actually, anyone who eats crisps outside of their own home generally.
People who clink their cutlery against the plate.
"Enthusiastic eaters" - you know, they enjoy the food so much they almost throw it into their mouths.
Slow walkers.
People whose football team is their entire identity (they'll often use "we" in this regard).
Brexiteers.
Mansplaining to people about why they find some things puzzling incomprehensible , is wrong incomprehensible.

People that don't undestand what the word incomprehensible is.
So, whilst I don't condone theft in any way I can stil comprehend why people steal.
I find it really annoying when people put their bags on a train seat and leave it there as the train fills up -, but I assume it's to stop people sittign there or they are simply oblivious. Again, not incomprehensible.
Now, the appeal of watching Love Island, I'm a Celebrity etc - to me, that is incomprehensible.

I find it incomprehensible that nobody has successfully challenged the oft-repeated claim that building houses will solve the housing crisis, when those with the money are still buying them as investments while those who previously couldn't afford a home still cannot, and developers aren't going to build at a rate that causes prices to drop.
I'm off to Starbucks wearing my Sunday-best necktie to give it some serious earnest discussion with anyone using a fancy laptop to browse facebook.

Or just leave the leaves where they are. Moving them at all just seems silly. Inventing a blower to do so is just even dafter.
Armchair "experts" who think they know better than vastly qualified and experienced experts.

Maybe they need to be moved from paths and pavements so elderly people (or anyone) don't slip on them when they get wet.
I find it incomprehensible that you didn't think of this 😉

Never ever seen anyone using a leaf blower on a pavement. Just idiots blowing them around gardens and driveways. Never slipped on leaves in over forty years. I stand by the fact they’re a ridiculous invention.
Drivers that accelerate hard on a single carriageway to then hit their brakes when they get to within 50 metres of a slower car (Hint, take your foot off the accelerator when it is apparent you are catching up)
Patio heaters. (apologies if someone said them already) It's the outside. Put a coat on.

Leaf blowers aren’t just for leaves. I’m a gardener on an 80 acre private woodland estate, I’ve been using a big backpack leaf blower for 2 hours solid today to clear leaves, pine needles, half devoured pine cones, cut grass, hedge clippings, uprooted Himalayan balsam, sawdust, wood chippings, and other brush cut debris. Happily sit and watch you use a broom but I would leave you once it gets dark. They’re also good at getting a fire going like a rocket engine

I fancy you’ve never ridden QECP on a damp autumn day! Get Houns up there, I say. (not now, obviously, wait until September. Ta)
People that cannot spell understand or still.
So you can't comprehend such a thing as a typo? Or I could have been dislexic (I'm not, it was a typo).
Thanks for reinforcing my point by proving you don't understand what incomprehensible means though.
Actually, on the subject of spelling and the like...
Something I don't get at all is people typing in a dialect (for want of a better term). I get people shorting words in text speak (seems daft outside of texting, but hey). So using m8 instead of mate. But making up spellings so they look like the way YOU pronounce the word just doesn't make sense to me.
Typing "polis" instead of "police". Or "reyt" instead of "right" (or if you must, why not use "rate" or "reet" depending on what it is you're trying to say - to ne honest I'm not 100% sure on that one).
So, yeah, making up spellings for no good reason - I find that genuinely incomprehensible.
Some people write online in a kinda phonetic text so what they've written is less likely to appear in automated search results.

Yeah, I’m not a gardener so I’d just be leaving all that shit where it was. Don’t understand the need to move it
Typing “polis” instead of “police”
I can help with that one, quoting from here:
The Polis is a govrenment organization that is gien speicial leecence tae enforce thair govrenment's laws agin different kynds o wrang-daein. Polis men speirs oot thiftdom or murthers an wairds heich-gates an ceeties for tae mak siccar that fowk daesna gang agin the law. The biggin thay wirk in is for ordinar cried a polis station.

40000+ gun related deaths in the USA last year yet the nothing gets gets done due to NRA lobbyists.........and I see there has been another mass shooting earlier today.....utterly incomprehensible
People writing "none c when they obviously mean" non".... Happens far too often for it to be a typo, especially when the "e" is an added extra.

Know a guy, in his late 50s, always been single, only rides a motorbike, all year round, whatever the weather.
I get that, totally, makes sense for him, no one to drive around.

another one today - 9 dead in Dayton. The only way to solve it is to arm everyone apparently. God Bless America.
People walking along on their own using their phone on speaker mode. The apprentice candidates looked like dicks when they did it, and that ain't changed.
And folk who edge toward red traffic lights as if its going to make them change any quicker. Doubly so when they crawl away really slowly when the lights actually do change.
I'll wager they're the same people who come flying out of side roads with nary a care for traffic already on the main road, then dribble along at 20mph.
Taking selfies. Especially selfies with 'celebrities'.

People who need to emphasise they don’t like football. (Picked last at school?).
No, I did play for the school on one occasion (but probably only cos the PE teacher thought I was awesome at kicking a ball round the yard) trouble was, come 'match day' our opponents were a team from Durham & there was a lad playing who I knew from the ice rink so all we did was stand around yapping about ice hockey & I never got picked again.
I don't think football as incomprehensible though.
It's just a shite game played mainly by tarts.
BUT WHAT KIND OF WEIRDO WANTS TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLE PLAY FOOTBALL?
No argument from me!
But they're not really the same are they. Watching football is equivalent to watching the fingers on the esportspersons hands nailing the trianglesquareLR combo or whatever finger athletisism is required.
I'm not saying its wrong you understand i just can't comprehend the concept.
Played football, boxed and played rugby for local and university teams and I'm pretty sure I'm not a tart.
