Even more weird than I thought!

I was just reading some threads about different products, their make-up, their history, their smell, etc.
It struck me how little attention I ever pay to that sort of thing. I think I have some curiosity, but evidently much less than most people.
1. I couldn't tell you what any of the products I use smell like. Must not be too bad or I would surely notice.
2. Never even wondered what carnauba was, let alone the different varieties. Just knew it made my car shiny.:)
3. Didn't realize that "diminishing abrasives" even existed. Just knew you had to work some products longer to get the results I wanted. Never thought about why. It just had to be done.
4. Very seldom really wondered what happened to a product line that disappeared from the shelves. Just griped because I couldn't find it anymore.
5. I have no idea or interest in how computers work. You hit enter and things happen. (Not always good things)
6. I will hear that our friends just had a baby. Great! My wife wants to know: boy or girl, how long, how much did it weigh? Hey, all I asked was if everyone was O.K. Everyone was, end of story.
Lots of things jst go over my head because I really don't seem to care.
Does anyone else find that they kind of just accept things without too much thought? Or is this just another quirk in my personality?

It's that Y chromosome that men have. It allows us to actually not care about trivial stuff like that. I work very hard to not talk to anybody that my wife might want to know something about. I have also taken to not telling her anything than I am not prepared to give a detailed blow by blow account of the conversation. Some of us may notice when a product goes off the shelf, but for men it just registers as a "Oh well... I guess I'll keep my eye out for it in the bargin bin someday." To women it is grounds to start a newsletter and call 300 of their friends and even some strangers to tell them about it.

I don't think you are weird, Charles. You just have a capital Y chromosome. :bigups That is the way the most guys I know feel about stuff. Even when my own son was born I could have cared less about how long he was and how much he weighed. I just wanted to make sure he had enough fingers and toes to properly detail a car someday. :naughty
 
Unless I can smell a product when I first open it up I don't put it up to my nose and sniff. As a matter of fact I think such act is illegal in Ohio.
 
Hey Guys,

I feel slammed for not having a "Y"!

Maybe I'll PM AWD330 and we can call 300 of our friends and start a petition to get that commodity put back on the shelf - if it's so VALUABLE!!

Rick - If you actually used those products, you'd be smelling them in the application thereof!

J/K guys!! We know you're different! Don't get all ticked! Or we'll have to resort to our secret weapons!!
 
I've always had thoughts about the saying " well that's what they say" you can be talking about almost anything and someone will chime in with this one at some point. What I want to know is

Who are these they people
How do they know so much
What college did these they go to
What are they in every conversation

Just a thought
