Why Do We Drive on the Parkway, But Park on the Driveway?

 MY LIST OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

Why do so many people in southern Indiana drive slowly in the left lane on I-64 and refuse to move over when you want to pass? 

We don't pronounce the "t" in words like "hasten" and "soften, so why are more and more people pronouncing the "t" in the word "often?"

Why do more and more people think they have the "smartest dog" and "cutest baby" in the whole wide world - ever? 

Why would anyone buy insurance from "LIBERTY" insurance company or hire "MORGAN AND MORGAN" law firm after having watched their endless and totally obnoxious TV commercials? 

Why does  FACEBOOK appeal so much to "people without a life" and why do they never have a mean thought, clueless opinion or private personal detail that is not shared?  

Why do people I haven't heard from for forty years begin their telephone call with the words "you have always been my favorite priest" right before they ask you to perform their great, great grand daughter's neighbor's (who hasn't been in a church since their First Communion 35 years ago) wedding or baby baptism? 

Why do I never hear from many of my distant relatives until they send an invitation to their graduations, their weddings or their baby showers? Why don't they just send a bill? 

Why are more and more adults holding a fork in their fists like a child while they eat? 

Why do more and more people treat the Kroger parking lot like a trash dump, throwing their food wrappers, uneaten food, used diapers, empty bottles and cans on the pavement beside their cars?

Why is it that when you ask a computer geek for some help, requiring several complicated steps, they always begin with the words, "Well, all you have to do is____, _______, ______,______,______,_______,_______,_______,______ and________."?   

Why is it that large businesses, who brag about their "A+ customer service," make you hit several numbers on your keypad for "this or that department" before they tell you that "you are a valued customer" and they "we will be with you shortly," before they finally tell you to "keep holding" because you are only number 5,867 in line?
