Daily writing prompt
What’s something most people don’t understand?
View all responses

I don’t “understand” the point of this prompt. 😄

Wait…What?

Yes, I am being a bit of a smartass here. The question is fairly straightforward, but it’s still a bit of a pointless one.

Yeah, I know…Most of the daily prompts are. 😄

I mean, really, most of us don’t understand a lot of things, do we now?

I don’t understand why eggs are 20 frigging dollars a dozen.

I don’t understand why people can’t just shut their pie holes and do their freaking jobs.

I don’t understand how anyone could not love pizza.

You don’t like pizza? Does not compute…

I don’t understand how anyone thinks 60 hour work weeks are a good idea.

I don’t understand why we pay through the freaking nose for health insurance but they won’t cover jack monkey shit.

Like I said, lots to not understand in this world.

So, I guess the question then becomes which way you wanna go? You can say screw it and let it go and not overthink it, or you can educate yourself and learn to understand the things you don’t.

Either approach is valid. It really just depends how much it means to you personally.

One thing I do understand it that life is full of great options. Choose your “great” and go get it.

Understand? 😉

Have a good one, folks!

    I feel like the eggs 🥚 thing is a huge issue. Like holy shit. And omg 🖕 to the health insurance and 60 hour workweek.

    Anyways, love the humor ❤️ even though it’s serious lol 😂

    Also, can we talk about all the scam jobs out there?! Ugh. I don’t understand that shit one fucking iota. 😩

      The eggs are ridiculous. I mean, come on, man. 🤷‍♂️
      Unfortunately, I think most of us accepted the scam that is health insurance long ago. Don’t make it right though.
      Scam jobs. I never would have thought there were THAT freaking many out there. Jesus. 🙄
      Glad you enjoyed it, m’lady. Thank you 💓💓

    Congratulations on discovering life’s greatest mystery—why nothing makes sense. 😂😂
    Eggs cost $20? Must be golden and personally laid by a celebrity chicken.🙃
    60-hour work weeks? Perfect for those who hate sleep, happiness, and personal freedom.😜
    Don’t like pizza? You might actually be a malfunctioning robot.🤣
    Honestly, understanding is a lost cause. Just grab a snack, shake your head, and keep dreaming and existing.😎

      Yes, $20 eggs. It’s outrageous and no, they are not fancy in the least. Just plain old…eggs. 😡
      Well, I must hate that stuff because that’s what I am doing this week LOL!
      Everyone likes pizza, If they say they don’t, they are a liar! Liar I say! 😄

        I need to send you some. I’ve got 6 dozen just sitting on my counter and gave one to the postman today. I can’t imagine paying that much. The most I have seen is $7.

        Prices get a little nuts around here sometimes. Even the dollar stores, which are usually pretty darn cheap, were selling them for about $9. Insane!
        Six dozen? You’re sitting on $120 bucks right there! 😄

        I usually sell them for 5.50 if I sell them. But usually give them away. I feel better that way. I feel as I am cheating people if I do more than that.

    I love the way you turn “most people don’t understand” to “what I don’t understand”. There’s so much we don’t understand, things that most of us doesn’t understand, so you might as well answer for yourself to answer this question.

    Hell yeah, if I made two list what I do understand and what I don’t understand we all know wich one would be longest, and the same can be said fyor everyone. Even the so called geniuses in the world have a bloodly long list of what they do not understand. So what do I do well for the most part I accept I don’t understand stuff and move on unless it is something iI really should understand then I will try to learn more and find a way to understand but most stuff I don’t need to understand.
