Unnecessarily sh!t things in life

davyjose

Have you ever noticed, in life - in just the act of being alive - there are so many things that suck, for seemingly no reason at all. For instance, hangovers. I was hungover all day today, and the only reason is because I decided to go and have a laugh with my pals last night. Why should I have to pay that back with interest? Another thing is Calories in tasty food. WTF? Why are we physically hardwired to enjoy the taste of cakes but not parsnips? That's just God having a laugh at our expenses
The two most pointlessly sh!tty thing though are Cancer and baldness. The really annoying thing about Cancer is that unlike Aids or or Meningitis, or Smallpox, it's not alive i.e. it doesn't have to survive at our expense. Instead, it's actually our own bodies somehow turning on itself and causing pain and death. Now that's unnecessary.
As for male pattern baldness ... why? What's it for. It's like a lottery for the unlucky. Some go bald, some don't and the only things it brings to your life is a cold head and a sharp drop in attractiveness.

Anyway, if anyone has any more things that are crap for no perceivable reason, stick 'em on.

Jeasus, Leave it off will ya? Everyone gets hangovers and gets depressed on the sunday cause they have to go back to work soon. We dont need you telling us about cancer on top of that! Stop your moaning and get a dvd for yourself, it will take your mind off this terrible life for while, have a **** and go to bed.

If there were no hangovers, I'd say the world would be completely full of alcoholics, so I have to say that I'm glad they exist.
As for calories in tasty food, amen brother.
Cancer and baldness, yep, don't think you'll find any arguments there.

Irrational fears.
Very annoying, and could really get in a person's way of enjoying life to varying degrees, depending on what their particular fear is.

As for sh!t things in life, I'd have to agree completely with the above points. I'd also have to point out how annoying wisdom teeth are. I mean, I'm not getting any fcuking smarter here so whats the point??

Pfft! that's what curtains are for! Throw them in the neighbours' washing machine once a year to stop them (the neighbours) complaining about the creaking noises, burn them (the curtains) ritually every time you get kicked out move house ... sorted!!

It's all down to the fact that we don't know that we died and got sent to hell.

It's perfectly straight forward and simple. Food isn't normally in as much abundance as it is for humans, bodies crave high energy foods so associate good taste with high calorific food.

This thread? Your ma? My overused replies?

That is all.

Hangovers are avoidable. Complaining about hangovers is a bit like saying, "You know what's crap? When you hit yourself in the knee with a hammer and your kneecap shatters. WTF is that about?"

Just learn to recognise that alcohol is a depressant and the day after when you're hungover and cringing about what you may or may not have done last night, it's mostly your hormones that are making you think things are ****ty and making you worry about money and death and sex and stuff. Just learn that once you go to bed that night, you'll wake up the next morning full of zest for life.

People who feel that them having a case of the ****ing Monday's warrants this **** as if it is somehow ground breaking?

There is a book I saw in the shop which I wanted to get, but I agreed with 100% of it, so decided not. It is called "Is it me, or is everything these days Sh!t?"

Here are some from it, and some of my own.

Jug Kettles, and jugs in general: Is it really so difficult to design a jug that does not spill, or dribble? The kettle my parents had at home over the christams, spilt half its contents on the counter when you were pouring a cup of tea. What the **** use is that? In the end my sister went out and bought one, and got the guy in the shop to pour water from the new one to make sure it did not dribble before she purchased it.

€3.95 for a cup of weak tea in a cafe: You ask for a pot of tea and they give you a cup sized pot with one tea bag floating in it. After 20 mins of mashing the tea bag with a spoon, grey tea comes out and either gives you a cup of luke warm water with a slightly different color, or drips(see previous post) allover what ever you were reading.

Any company that provides "quality" service: IMO, quality no longer means what it used to. Any comapny that strives for quality actually mean, they have cut the cost on everything, giving you as cheap a service as possible but still want you to think they have spared no expense for anything. Websites stores, ISP's, some super markets etc are great at this. When dealing with "quality" companies, pray your product works, otherwise it will be headache after headache to get it setup, replaced, or to get a refund.

TV: TV really does suck now a days. Excluding re-runs and the news, I wonder what percentage of the TV I watch is enjoyable television. Not much. Take last night. I sat down to watch the new episode of Lost. It went:

pre-credits intro (lasted about 2 mins)
credits(less than a minute)
dialogue(about 5 mins)
adbreak(6 mins)
dialogue(9 mins)
adbreak(5 mins)
dialogue (9 mins)
adbreak (5 mins)
dialogue (9 mins)
credits (2 mins)
adverts(6 mins)
Next program

I watched about 20 mins of advert for the one program!!! I have already bought a tv license, cable box, cable subscription, not to mention a TV. Why should I have to watch adverts aswell? You could say the adverts go to pay for making the TV programme, but if that is the case, I should have to watch the adverts for the program once, and everytime the show is re-ran, it should be ad free!!

TV Sucks, roll on Video on Demand!

The internet. tbh the internet sucks aswell. Between Ads, spam, and spyware hindering your online time once your on, and the low level in "quality" of consumer network hardware, and Service providers, I sometimes wonder if I should pack it in. I bought a router from an online retailer, long story short it didnt work, spent ages on the phone trying to get them to take it back. In the meantime I bought a router that does work. The retailer will not refund my credit card, they will only replace it with another router. A router which I dont need because I have bought one which works. They told me to bring the one that is working back to its shop, and use the router that they are going to send me and 'hope' that it works. WTF???

Pubs: Lets face it, dublin needs about a thousand new pubs. If you go out on saturday night(like I had the misfortune of doing this weekend), by about 11 o'clock, no matter what pub your in it gets packed. And I dont mean, packed as in no seats left I mean sardines in a can. I couldnt find the people I was meant to meet. It took me 20 minutes to get a drink, and when I finally got it, I spilt half of it when some fella at the other side of the room moved suddenly, and the domino affect knocked the glass out of my hand. And another thing, does anyone actually enjoy the music when it is at that level? Sure its great for dancing, but if you want to dance, go to a club, and if you want to chat and have a drink, take the stereo out of the pub.

Thats it for now. I dont care if I sound like a grumpy old man. Its the truth.

I suppose the fact that most people do not share the same opinions as me is very sh!t. What with me being always right and all.
