Ever notice that even though you're thousands of miles away some of the strangest fucking superstitions you've ever heard are the same? Who knew that Canadians and such similarities with Swamp People.
My uncle told me about this when I was like six, sitting in a Bavarian forest. Canadians, swamp people, and Germans. Must be a white rabbit thing... Edit: Down the rabbit hole...
Why is that when you whisper something to a man (presumably you're whispering so that nearby people won't hear your conversation), invariably he goes "HUH?!" really fucking loud, thus blowing your cover? Why do you drive on a parkway but park on a driveway? And why do they call them apartments when they're all stuck together?
I have actually found that when in my truck I can back into a spot using a 1 point turn maneuver where as it would actually take a 3 or 4 point turn maneuver to pull in the same spot forward. You would think in Texas where trucks are the norm, they would make parking lots more accessible for trucks.
Why is my poker-straight hair suddenly turning curly, but only in spots? I can't have bangs because they scrunch up into ringlets and all over my head are tiny curls growing but the rest is straight. So weird.
I used to work for a cable company and they required us to back into all spots. Their reasoning was you were more alert when you arrive somewhere than when you leave.
With regards to the smoke following you thing I always thought it was becuase smoke follows air flow which would go in the direction of a heat source.
There's a reason people cut the tail after a fart, you're creating an airflow when you're walking. Unless you're walking against the wind, that little SBD is going to follow you to the next aisle at the grocery store. Straight for the pungent aroma of cobb salads.
