More why does

Since writing the previous Why does... I have thought of some more...

The maintenance man visits you at home when you are on that important conference call..

When a shower head gets clogged up with limescale why is there always one jet that squirts water straight into your eye wherever you stand in the shower cubicle.

You want a screwdriver. You think you need a slotted one but when you have gone downstairs riffled through your toolbox and brought it back up you find the screw head is a philips.

If you wash your car or water the garden it rains the next day, or you drive through the muddiest puddle and mess the nice clean car up.

If you don't have a coat or umbrella it will rain.

If the council close one road to do road works , they will also close the most convenient alternative road the day after leading to travel chaos.

If you wear walking sandals you will end up walking through inches of water or mud. If you take boots it will be red hot and your feet will roast inside the heavy boots.

During a visit to the toilet you realise far too late there is no loo paper...

Hosepipes - banned of course at the moment. As you take them off their hose tidy they will get nice kinks in them and even after unkinking these the hose will after you turn your back kink up again. Finally as you wind the hose back on the tidy it will get caught around everything in sight...

When driving along a dual carriageway it runs out before you can get overtake the slow vehicle in the distance..
