No, there could always be hemorrhoidectomy. I remember reading the memoirs of a writer who had undergone such a procedure and his description of what happens after the surgery makes me wince in pain... I upped the amount of fibre and water in my diet ever since :evil:

Those plastic cases that are fucking impossible to open. There was even a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode dedicated to them. They suck big balls.

The type memory cards come in? You need a stanley knife to make the first cut and then hope when you pull the packet apart your fingers don't fall off. Yeah I can totally agree.


I don't understand many types of packaging tbh. Especially how consoles are packed in boxes by the factory and it requires a scientist to figure out how it all goes back in to the point where you can comfortably close the last flap of the box.

Yep. It's easier figuring out a pussy than those things.

You raise a good point. Why is the female organ so freaking complicated? You have two main points of interest, one of which is damn near impossible to find, while the other has an enormous freaking rule book for proper use. Completely unintuitive. Have to rely on rote memorization and muscle memory. It's like learning the battleship stage of R-Type.

Pre sealed zip-loc packages; literally impossible to open because the assholes didn't give you a proper way to grip it when it inevitably becomes wet.

Had to sit through a 2 min ad on youtube. 1 min 58 was spent listening to a beautiful hawaiian girl who I want to marry talk about how much she loves surfing. The last 2 seconds were spent by her saying, "and I'm a Mormon."

I am so tired of youtube videos that don't have the audio and video correctly synced. So many good videos have been completely ruined because of that. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEA_oIQCxTc&t=2m27s

Or better yet, videos that have a squashed aspect ratio because some fool wanted to put his name in two different borders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_9-qBQwEbk

This isn't rocket science, people.

Waking my laptop from hibernation only to notice that the network card hasn't been initialized so now I have to turn it off then boot Windows again. :x This happens way too often, and a regular reboot doesn't even help, a hard restart is needed.

people who wear analog watches with absolutely no markers on the dial.

do you think you're cool because you can't read the time with any sort of accuracy?

Hahaha, I almost got a watch like that, but the fact that it was rather useless for telling time deterred me from doing it.
It did look pretty damn nice though, and watches like that are more like jewelry than they are timepieces. So, form over function.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Saw one of these recently. They do look nice, though.

I can't tell if this is 7:35 or 8:35.

Whatever, people dropping 287 NZD on a watch don't care. They have a phone for that (and no doubt, the most expensive available). Watches are redundant and obsolete fashion accessories.

'Slut Walks'.

I dunno, jamming my middle finger in someone's face and screaming "fuck you" has never struck me as a way to get what I want or even be taken seriously. However, covering myself in delicious honey and heading out to the forest seems like a splendid way of getting myself eaten by a bear.

I'm all for female empowerment but I stop listening the moment it's supporters start acting like spoiled children about it. The whole idea of a 'slut walk' is counterproductive and comes off as an immature & desperate cry for attention.

I had to google this, and yes, give it a rest already. I'm pretty sure women can cry statutory rape if they even get looked at by a penis these days, so I'm not sure how much more legislation needs bending to the cause.
