Everyone can post something here... I will start with a few!
'Why is there no window on the plane toilet? who's going to see you at 35'000feet?'
'when looking for something why do people say 'its always in the last place you look' when its obvious! your not going to find something yet carry on looking for it are you?'
'Why do people never seem to light scented candles?'

Cost.

An old one and very true.
Originally by: Milla Lekarariba 'Why do people never seem to light scented candles?'
Again cost. They give off a scent anyway, so why use them.

Psychology. What most people do not know is that every toilet has a camera system - say cheese.

Irony and because things that are lost are mostly due to a breakdown in thought process. Sometimes we go onto autopilot for repetitious tasks, like walking into the house and putting our car keys down on a side table - we've done it a thousand times before. The one time you were on autopilot when you walked in the door, you happened to be wearing a jacket and you put the keys in your jacket. You do not remember doing that and revert to a logical thought process and ask your brain what it does when on autopilot. The brain tells you that you put them down on the side table and you will continue to look on the table, all around the table, under the table - until finally you use the re-collective memory and realise they are in the jacket pocket. Hence it is the last place you look, but should be the first.

These have more value than normal candles. There is another connection we make in the brain with smell. Apparently we remember smells longer than anything else, and memories can resurface which perhaps would've stayed dormant when we sniff a familiar aroma. This is something to do with the fact that we are mammals and we in particular are hunter gathers - we need to remember the scent of our prey.
I will throw one out there:
Why do people say 'At this moment in time' when the word 'now' is more than enough?

1) I've seen air plane toilets with windows. 2) They may be ommited because while no one is able to see you at 35'000 feet, the baggage handlers can see you on the tarmac, while your plane is waiting 2 hours to get de-iced or whatever.

It is to contrast from the "The first place" you looked

Because they are using them for ornamentation rather than scent. and further more why do i even need a sig? |

Use "How are you doing?" as a rhetorical question.
Use the word "nab" instead of "noob" despite being old enough to have left home.

The last place find is also due to the fact that we remember when we had to look all over and forget when we find it right away. We're wired like that, to recall failure and forget the rest.
Case in point, at work in a defined space there are a set amount of let's call them work orders lying about, you check them all over and invariably, no matter where you start it's the last of them that is yours. Or so memory would have me believe.

If they put windows in aircraft toilets - people would stay in there longer.
If they put windows in aircraft toilets - men would be encouraged to stand in front of it looking out the window and **** on the seat.
If they put windows in aircraft toilets - people sitting on them couldn't see out anyway.
When we say "Why is something always in the last place you look?" what we really mean is "why is something always in the last place you WOULD THINK TO look".
Scented candles are a fire hazard.

So that Christian air travelers never have to find out that angels really like to watch people poop, due to lacking butt-holes. They're jealous and curious, but only approach Christian air travelers at their most intimate moment. If there's a window, they'll just stare through it, but if you remove the window, they're forced to use their invisibility powers.

Sound advice and social common sense, derived from the unfortunate tale of Uther Farmington, a 15th-century-era laborer who lost a pail of potatoes, then found it later. Undaunted, he continued looking for the object he had already found, and was never heard from again.
