Why do so many women find it embarrassing to meet another woman wearing an identical dress?

It makes for very easy like-for-like comparison.

Good point. Also though, why do women refuse to re wear a dress to another do? Especially if it's with the same crowd....

How does my car pop and bang when it stone cold? I understand when the exhausts hot but when I start it cold and go down the street it still manages it?

Probably your cold start. Runs rich to heat the cats up.

No cats, still surprised it manages to pop and bang in a cold exhaust though

Other women are less likely to say "Oooh, I like your dress" if they've seen it before.

And peer approval is the goal.

It's not approval they are after, it's envy. Girls are so competitive it's untrue.

Huge schadenfreude is to be enjoyed from correctly spotting a dress as a 'reappearance'. "Isn't that the one you wore to __? It's lovely..."

Passive-aggressive demonstrations of affluence and value-affirming Princessity. Daft.

I've known women like that.

Is there such a thing as "upside down" in space?

Genuine question. Spoke to a lovely girl the other night, but slightly squiffy eyes. Where are you supposed to look? Dominant eye or between the eyes?

She sounds nice, sounds like she had what I would call "Come to bunk bed eyes".

The answer is look at her tits, obviously.

Dominant eye normally.

Always felt jealous of people with wonkey eyes, they can watch a full game of tennis without moving their heads.

Pretty sure the hotter minis are deliberately mapped to pop
Put the cat back you filthy antisocial oik you.

Is they're such a thing as "right way up" in space? If not, then it's not the right way up, so it must be upside down

There isn't really any such thing as up or down in space so the convention is to use the plane of the planets around the sun as a reference.

Not as funny as the other answers but i'd say look at her mouth, itll be hard for her to know you are looking at her wrong unless you are really close up.

People with a significant squint usually have their brains ignoring the input from one eye (ambylopia) which can lead to the person effectively only having vision from one eye - so not so great for tennis after all.

Something I've genuinely always wanted to know the answer to, but never for long enough to try to find out: how do pump toothpaste dispensers work? They're clearly mechanical, the plunger works its way up the inside of the tube with nothing pushing it; surely the tiny amount of force you apply to the nozzle cover doesn't create a vacuum sufficient to pull that up incrementally? But it must. Is there some secret behind it?

[EnglishTony]

It's all done with mirrors.
