Why do we say an alarm clock goes "off" when it's technically going "on"?
I still can't figure out why we say we are "in" a country when surely we are "on" it? But we say we are "on" a plane, yet "in" a car?

Why do we "draw" curtains?

WHY IS MY BRAIN NOW FILLED WITH STUPID QUESTIONS???

Why do we "draw" curtains?

WHY IS MY BRAIN NOW FILLED WITH STUPID QUESTIONS???
I can accept these but cannot except 'drawing a bath' and 'catching the bus'.

'drawing a bath'

I'm thinking it's to do with the second and third definitions for draw:

2.
to bring, take, or pull out, as from a receptacle or source
3.
to bring toward oneself or itself, as by inherent force or influence; attract

By that reasoning, the second definition would reference drawing a bath (you're taking water from its source to fill the tub) and the third would be for drawing curtains (you're pulling the curtains towards each other).
