Why do we say/do that?
Humans are a curious race. We say and do some of the goofiest things. For instance, have you ever been waiting for the elevator when someone comes up and pushes the button for the elevator. The same one you pushed just ten seconds before they showed up. How about the crosswalk button. How many times do you push that button? Once? Twice? Twenty? Or, if you are walking through the parking lot at Wal-Mart or Target or wherever you go and the driver motions for you to cross in front of them. Why is it necessary to jog across?
Why must people ask if it is hot/cold enough. Just once I would like to say, "Yes, yes it is. I put my request in last Tuesday."
Do you ever go on a long road trip, only to finally arrive and the first thing you want to do is sit? Why is that? Additionally, do you notice how for that night as you drift to sleep all you can see is the road before you?
When you go to regular places: the store, work, church etc...do you park in the same place?
Do you ever say: "I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off!" Have you ever SEEN a chicken with its head cut off!? That's some seriously crazy stuff.
How about: "I was sicker than a dog." Anyone who has ever owned or does own a dog knows how dogs are when they are sick. Again...not pretty.
We are all basically the same. We say and do all these silly things. What funny things or phrases can you think of?

I park my carcass on the same church pew too, and the same chair in Relief Society and Sunday School.
But you know humans want comfort and security so parking in the same area, etc is something we unintentionally do to feel secure. That way our brain is more free to look for other dangers if the rest is the norm. But it is still funny
