January Useless Observations
Hey everyone,
The weirdest NFL regular season has come to an end. Stores are stocking shelves with Valentine’s Day decorations and it’s finally sinking in that we’re in January. After completing my 2023 recaps, it’s now time to move forward with the January edition of Useless Observations. Let’s get this show on the road before the New England Patriots lose another game in demoralizing fashion.
UO #1: If you go an entire calendar year without making an insurance claim, your insurance providers should be required to refund back to you everything you’ve paid in that year.
UO #2: What’s more weird: seeing a bar that you typically frequent in the daytime, or seeing one of your teachers outside of school?
UO #3: iPhones now tell you when a call is Potential Spam. Is it spam or is it not spam? I feel like they know enough to give me that warning but there’s probably some legalese involved and they can’t risk incorrectly identifying a call as spam.
UO #4: With Ja Morant returning to the NBA, I feel obligated to remind you that camera phones are the worst thing to happen to society. Nothing good has ever happened after someone started a live broadcast via social media.
UO #5: Speaking of society, bring back the term hipster. I feel like everyone these days is a hipster but for some reason we stopped using that phrase. Bring it back.
UO #6: I’ve never seen an HGTV show where the couple buying a home is looking for a small home because they don’t like to entertain. It must be a requirement to appear on HGTV that you like to entertain large groups and parties.
UO #7: PBS did a video about how the letter R has all of the same characteristics as vowels and has been incorrectly classified as a consonant. Since watching the video I can’t stop thinking about this. Everything I’ve been taught is a lie.
UO #8: Every soda now has a zero sugar variant. Makes me wonder why sugary sodas still exist.
