The "I don't understand it" brigade

Life is like a box of chocolates

My first girlfriend dumped me because she didn't understand me.

My first wife divorced me because she understood me only too well.

Incomprehensible!

I don’t understand people who think turbos are rubbish because it’s not on tarmac and there’s no wind resistance. They think by riding out in the snow and ice they’ll be better than their mate Dave who’s put in hard hours of structured training on his cyclops hammer. Rant over!

Training structured to do everything except improve his bike control skills and road craft.

I have an annoyance with the "I don't understand" brigade. They say things like:

1. I don't understand. The cyclist went straight through the red lights and I still caught up with him.
Answer: well maybe that cyclist isn't as strong as you and needs to keep their average speed high to make any progress.

2. I don't understand why cyclists can't fix their own punctures.
Answer: some cyclists just aren't inclined that way. Can you fix your own car/computer/airplane or are you just a user of said machine?

3. I don't understand where all these summer cyclists go in winter. If they don't ride in winter, they shouldn't be allowed out in summer.
Answer: you selfish git. Some people just don't like the cold. Whatever.

4. I don't understand why some people have to drive 5 minutes to the shop when they can ride in 10.
Answer: because to get to the shop and back takes 10 mins, and to ride takes 20. And you don't get sweaty either.

5. I don't understand why people need a big massive Range Rover and the only off-roading they do is to mount the kerb.
Answer: they didn't buy the RR (or whatever 4x4) to go off-roading. To them, it's just a car.

6. I don't understand why people think their rules are correct. They should abide by my understanding of the rules.
Answer: get lost.

Kind of annoying when people “Don’t Understand” that other people “Don’t Understand”.

Especially when they clearly do.

I wonder who overstands this?

There's just one thing I don't understand, why does a bowlegged woman loves a knock-kneed man?

I understand why they do it. But dont understand why they would include it in some Strava groups, where it has no place. My turbo rides only appear in my private section.

I didn't get where I am today by not understanding why people don't understand.

The more I know the less I understand..... I think, I’m not sure

 

[Jody]

I don't understand this thread

 

[Rezillo]

I don't understand why the opposite of understand is not overstand.

 

[FishFright]

The more I learn the less I understand why.
