1. The center squares in the company football pool always fill up before the edge squares?

2. You see that pothole in the road from 200 yards away, yet you still seem to hit it?

3. Someone is walking towards you and the 2 of you play "Alphonse & Gaston", both trying to avoid each other by walking in the same direction?

4. You always find what you are looking for in the last place you look?

5. Beef stew always tastes better on the 2nd day, reheated?

6. Your wife/husband/S.O. says something and the very same words were on your lips?

7. You always find another smudge on a window, no matter how aggresively you've cleaned it?

8. TV commercials are never interrupted to bring you "The latest news on..." whatever?

9. The line you are in at the supermarket/bank/porta-potty is always the slowest one?

10. You can think of a million "Do you ever wonder whys" until the moment you need to remember them?

6. Your wife/husband/S.O. says something and the very same words were on your lips?  Very common for me an the boss, but there are also times when she says something and is waiting for me to finish it with my vast knowledge of trivia.....and I have no idea what she was thinking..
9. The line you are in at the supermarket/bank/porta-potty is always the slowest one?   and then a cashier comes to open up another aisle, you hop in it and than they have to do a price check on one item and it is located in the back of the store...

All the time! Is is because people know each other so well? Complete each others thoughts?

When watching movies, I can predict the exact words a character will say. Not always, but often enough that I sometimes creep myself out.

Vending machines accept every type of coin and even $1 and $5 bills, but don't accept pennies?  They make it so hard for us to spend them!  Why do they have to exclude the penny??  I would hate to be a penny and be treated so unfairly!

The only vending machines that I found that take pennies are the stamp machines at the post office. And you don't see those very often.

Like Max said, I have a lot of ""Do you ever wonder whys" questions, yet I can't remember them right now.

4. You always find what you are looking for in the last place you look?

Because why would you keep looking after you found it?

Perhaps that's just a comment on the quality of popular entertainment??

Just a thought.....

Also - beef stew (well, veggie soup in my case, or gumbo, or red beans & rice) always tastes better the 2nd day because it's had time for all the flavours to mingle. I'm sure Alton Brown could tell you the exact chemistry behind this, but I've never wondered about that one. I have wondered if I was being insulting to my guests by serving gumbo on the same day I cooked it......

Why is it that whenever I come to a street and I am not sure if the place I need to go is going to be to the left or the right, it is 100% always the opposite of what I choose. 

......and, why do people who actually still write checks at the grocery store always wind up directly in front of me, and then wait until the checker has scanned all of their items before they even start to dig the check book out?  And then, after they have held up the whole world writing the check AND recording it in the check register, why don't they already have their drivers license ready?  You know their going to ask for it!
