When you are tearing a page out of your notebook with perforated edges, and half way down it rips either into your paper or away from the perforation. Then you have to go the other way, and then THAT ONE RIPS. Fucking Infuriating.

I just thought of something even MORE INFURIATING. Is fucking shrink wrap. That stuff they put on electronics, that is impervious to knives, scissors, blowtorches, etc. Its like a fucking half an inch thick and takes forever to open.

family guy.  When I was 13 it was funny.  But now all it is flashbacks of the sort, "Hey, that reminds me of......" and then Peter doing something stupid.  Its funny like 3 times and then it gets old.

That sucks you aren't more easily amused. It really makes life more entertaining when you can find joy in everything.

Top bound notebooks FTW. They're so hard to find but they're so necessary for left handers. Plus the perforation is shorter and errors are typically less epic.

Ah shit dude, ya that is def annoying. I make sure I always put them front cover down after I start reading them to try and prevent the top cover from jutting up. But you're right, they're never the same.

You can solve this dilemma by storing it in your freezer. No joke.

Hahaha, my roommate did that... and every time I came back to the room he'd be playing... and every time I was in the room... and every time I wanted to sleep... and every time I ever could've possibly wanted him to not be in the room... and basically 15 hours of every single fucking day. Eight for sleep. One for food. Fifteen for World of Warcraft. He was pretty good at it, though...

Dude, does he have the microphone? The worst was when I was trying to sleep and he of course HAD to talk to all his buddies playing the game with him, and he thought he was being really considerate speaking in a low whisper but I could actually hear everything he said while I was trying to get some sleep because we lived in a TEN BY TEN PIECE OF SHIT DORM.

One night I figured I'd take the risk of bringing a girl back to my dorm... Oh my fucking God... you haven't known awkward until you've lay in a bed with a chick you're trying to hook up with and your roommate is going off about WoW over his microphone non-stop at 2AM.

funny thing about those plastic packaging openers.... the guy who developed that tool is the same guy who developed the packaging. He invented that tool because he cut himself trying to open the packaging

I did that once...i was even being careful and it slipped like mad. Cut my thumb like 3 inches, down to the bone, slit a tendon in half. Had to have a cast up to my elbow for like 5 weeks.

I wasn't hardcore enough to avoid the hospital.
