Things I Don't Get

I don't get why they can put a man on the moon but they can't find a cure for Tinnitus.

Sorry if I've said this before but how is being clear and direct in speech wrong and abnormal?

Words have meanings in the dictionary. I use words according to their meaning. Then I'm accused of being rude or blunt.

Someone on another site said that she gets fed up with saying something clearly, then a lot of other people reading random meanings into what they said, according to their own inner filters and word associations. Then she gets accused of saying something she never said.

I can understand how she feels, as I get that too. I often think I should record everything I say to people so I can rewind and listen to it again

This isn't like that.
There's no attacking, and it's not about whether we agree or not.
It's a relationship thing with some very weird behaviour.

Either way it's very annoying.
I tell myself I must be crazy about 20 times a day.
I don't know if it's on-purpose gaslighting, or if they're just rude.

I'd rather they come out and argue if they need to.
Otherwise get out of my life.

My issue is the opposite then because my misunderstandings seem to happen online but in real life not so much maybe because of my tone of voice and body language so people can see that I am not being rude or snotty and all not matter how I am wording it. Online, people only see text so people like to read into things.

Why some people wear their scarves like this. How on earth does that keep them warm?!

They're boobie warmers. ^

I don't get why leg warmers went out of style.
Or actually maybe I do.

I don't get why power hungry people train to be special education teachers.

I don't get why school staff think that they can just enforce rules only on the IEP student but not on all the other students and then expect the kid to know right from wrong and to understand the rules if they are not being followed by their peers and the rules are not being enforced. Like this is not going to f**k up the kid or not give them behavior issues or not make them feel bullied and singled out?

My mom blamed this issue of mine from being in a self contained classroom due to inconsistent rules. I can understand now why some rules might not have applied to all students in it but however I will never understand why this boy was allowed to flash his dick in class and not get a time out or a loss of privilege but he always got in trouble for not coming to class after the recess bell would ring. So contradicting. Even my own mom seemed disgusted at this story when I told it to her and she said "I am so glad we got you out of that class, that must have all been very confusing for you."
