Let's play twenty questions... or less

1. There's a pizzeria nearby my office. How come the only pizza that's any good is the one with cherry tomatoes, rucola and pecorino? All the other pizzas there suck big time, but this one comes out extra delicious.

2. If someone asks you out for the 20th time, and you answer "no thanks" for the 20th time, how come he doesn't get the message? Is it self denial, or just stupidity? Or both?

3. In Finland we have -30 degrees outside in the winter time, but a nice and cozy +24 inside the houses. How come in Italy we have +5 degrees outside and +5 degrees inside?

4. How come the guy you thought for sure to be gay isn't, and the guy who you had the hots for is? Always.

5. How come the socks always get lost in the washing machine? They don't, it's the cat that steals them while you're hanging them to dry.

6. How come I have trouble concentrating at work even with the smallest of tasks, but still have the energy to teach my cat how to high five?

7. Lately I've been buying paintings and other items for my "dream apartment". I take the items home and then put them away immediately to be used when I find my dream apartment. How come it's so much easier to live in the future than in the moment?

8. How come in Finland my direct approach and truthfulness is seen as honesty and trustworthiness, but here in Italy it's seen as being angry, impolite, cold and infantile? 

9. How come when you decide a goal for yourself, in the end you always end up doing something completely different but equally enjoyable? Is it just a myth that some people actually set upon to do something and then do it, or is it just me who's lacking willpower and stamina?

10. How come having my car washed/cleaned (by hand, inside and out) costs me 20€ here in Italy, and in Finland I probably can't even find such a service? And more importantly, how come having a superclean car makes you feel all happy inside?

Ok, well, 10 isn't exactly 20, but that's enough "how comes" for one Friday. Have a great weekend everybody!
