1.) The disappearing sock in the laundry
2.) The great song that comes on the radio as you are pulling into your driveway
3.) The vanishing grenade in Halo 2

Now the first one is probably just not checking every nook and cranny of the washer or dryer. Being circular things, they do have a surprising amount of nooks and crannies.

I can't figure out number two, except for extremely bad luck, or perhaps radio stations get more money for pushing advertisements during rush hour.

And three is really starting to piss me off. I know I'm not the only one who's thrown a grenade and had it disappear. Granted, it usually happens when you are about to die. But if it's in your hand, it should at least be armed, and even then, I've seen them thrown and not go off.

And then comes the variable where someone could be standing on top of a grenade that blows and not die, while with a full shield I can be killed by a grenade a fair distance a way.


But I'm not complaining, I'm simply commenting on the mysteries of life.

Grenade walkers is what I call it. An opponent can walk through two grenades get shot, then kills me with a short burst of gun fire. Arge! What happened to my grenade?!

Disapearing gernades and rockets. You see the launcher fire, then you die and no rocket. GAHH

I've had the sock thing happen a couple times. So what I have always done is throw out that one sock I have. This brings up a problem because as soon as I take out the trash, I find the other sock.

For the radio, if I hear a good song come on when I'm pulling into my driveway (happens every time), I just sit in the car in the middle of my driveway, and laugh about how I out-smarted the radio (muahaha).

Number three, I can't really do anything about, but it happens to me all the time.

This is due to latency with the host. On your screen it shows that you threw the grenade, but this did not register with the host yet so in reality you never threw a grenade and no one sees your grenade except you. This is the same reason why headshots from really far away don't register, because the shot doesn't actually hit the target until a split second later, but by that time your target moved and therefore you missed. However in Halo 3 they somehow fixed that grenade thing so it's easier to get that kill from the grave medal.
