POPULAR THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

· Pickles

· Olives

· People who trust tuna/chicken/potato salad made at restaurants. Seriously, folks, who knows how long it’s been sitting out at room temperature?

· Picking friends based on their politics. (There are limits, of course. There always are.)

· Sitting in a particular place for a long time. My butt starts to hurt. It gets boring.
