Dis Don't Make No Sense #2

Today it was raining cats and dogs...and frogs, elephants, turtles, pigs, horses...etc...
So why is it that as soon as I put on my rain gear, the sun comes out and when I take off my rain shields, the rains comes back. Its almost like the rain was spying on me and was continuously playing the "haha, gotcha" game. So this is my letter to the weather god, copied below:

Dearest Weather Gods:

Please give me back my wet dry clothes. Showering is fine, but that is only for inside the bathroom with...akem, warm water, s'il-vous plait. And please don't think that I am in any way shape or form amused by your little give. I surrender. I raise the white flag. So please, show some mercy.

Sincerely, victimized earth habitant.

Dis Don't Make No Sense #1

Why do people always say the opposite of what they intend or mean...for instance:

"Does this dress make me look fat"
actually translates to...
"B****, tell me that I look better than you would in this dress"

..........................or...the classic example:
"I hate you" usually means "I love you but I just want you to say it first"

What is it with people always speaking in almost an enigmatic diction. I thought only sage old, long white bearded men who live in secluded mountains in straw huts can speak in riddle. It's just making more trouble out of nothing. I think there should be a specific google translator function to translate this. Or at least someone should cash in on this market...right?

If you want to get your point across, say directly and explicitly what you mean. Life is too short to waste time/energy/resources to translate these duplicitous phrases.

Along the same lines....why is Rebecca Black so popular and yet so hated on Youtube??? Yet another great paradox of the 21st century.  I tried to count how times she said fun in her song but I lost track half way through...I think anyone can sing about days of the week and have their voice autotune...why does she get all the attention. Even a kindergardener can do that. In fact, I am conspiring that she forced a child via illegal child labor to write a song for her. And all of her likes on her Youtube channel are from babies who clicked on the cool thumbs up button while their mothers were away from the computer. I hope Ms. Rebecca Black will one day feel the urge to switch careers and become a grade school teacher because she would be like the best teacher ever! LIKE OMG!!!!! She clearly knows her days of the week and can tell her left from her right (which I still can't...sometimes) so she's already half way there... I would totally trust her to educate my hypothetical child.
