A Subtle WTF Moment

Today, I think I just had a 'subtle' WTF moment.

We are all familiar with the non-subtle kind, you know, the one where you immediately see what's off.

The subtle kind, however, takes a while for you to realize it.

So this morning, I was chatting with a friend who just got back from Thailand. She went and saw some of the local sights including this show with elephants doing neat tricks. Nothing weird there, I would've loved to see that too.

Then she said, "I want to adopt one. I wish I could've took one home."

Laughs and shiggles.

Yep, if it were me, I would probably secretly smuggled one out of the country. I find elephants adorable.

Later that afternoon, I remembered something random she told me about how she dislikes cats.

Being a cat person, I find it weird that someone could actually find cats creepy. But hey, it's a free world. Each to his own, no problem.

And then that's when it hit me -

She's willing to have an elephant in her house. But she's not okay with having a cat.


All I managed to think of was: WTF...


I'll be trying to keep a tab on other subtle WTF moments starting today. We'll see how many I will encounter by the end of this year.
