I’m curious about voice notes – what exactly is the point of them? Surely if you have time to leave a voice note, you have time to make a phone call? Or is it mostly about people loving the sound of their own voice? I neither like to send nor receive voice notes and only use them in times of extreme desperation. Maybe it’s just me though, I’ve been known to be the last in the loop with social media-type things.

I’m curious about nipple piercings – my nipples retract merely at the thought of being pierced…which brings me to my first question, what happens if your nipple is shy come piercing time? How do you coax it out? Also, I assume you’d need to remove the piercing to breast feed – does that mean that the milk comes out of three places instead of one?

I’m curious about the need for people to participate in extreme adrenaline activities. Why do people seek out dangerous things…bungee jumping or jumping out of planes – why? Is it because dying doesn’t scare you? Mind you, dying doesn’t scare me, but I don’t feel the need to tempt fate and do something dangerous to will death on. What is the fascination with scaring yourself half to death?

I’m curious about people who pay full price for torn jeans. There’s this new trend of people wearing jeans that have massive rips in the knees – why? For half the price, I’ll gladly cut your jeans for you. Stop it, fashion world!

I’m curious about air-con etiquette at the office. There’s a long-standing war between the people who are constantly cold, and those who are constantly warm. My opinion, is that an air-con is meant to cool the air, so I’m on the side of the people who want the temperature to stay low. If you’re cold – put on a jersey…if you’re still cold – put on a scarf…still cold? Put on a coat! See, now you’re warm, your problems are solved. BUT, if you’re feeling hot, you can only take off so many items of clothing before it’s considered indecent. So tell me, why are we still debating the air-con temperature?
