This blog was really designed for me and others in the interwebs to vent their grievances. Yes there is twitter, and facebook and formspring... and even god forbid myspace.

But this blog comes with fun facts!

Late Public Transport

Wherever you are in the world, whether it be bus train tram or even a tuk tuk no one likes standing out in the elements waiting for that train or bus that should've arrived 4 minutes ago. Public transport grievances have been staple conversations for many generation and continues to be one of the many things that we can neither live with nor without.



About 60 billion passenger journeys were made by public transport in 2008 in the EU-27. This figure refers to local public transport, including urban, suburban and regional public transport services. Considering the total EU population, this represents about 120 public transport journeys per inhabitant per year. Demand for public transport is not distributed evenly across the European territory. For instance, in the medium and large sized cities included in the Mobility in Cities Database, the number of public transport journeys was about 300 per inhabitant per year.

Pins and Needles

You're sitting there- working away quite comfortably
and suddenly something goes numb, whether it be your butt or leg or hand
but suddenly you're up doing a litte jig trying to get rid of the stupid feeling and you're getting crazy looks from everyone




The medical name for feeling pins and needles in your fingers is ‘paraesthesia‘. Paraesthesia is a sign that sensory nerves in the area of the tingly sensation are being irritated – sometimes this condition is combined with small colour variations in the hand (pink/yellow spots). The condition may be the result of a disease or damage to the nerves themselves, damage to the blood supply, or disease of the surrounding tissues (arthritis the nerves themselves get affected). Millions of people in the developed world suffer on the feeling of having pins and needles in the hands & fingers – and often the conditions is associated by the people with RSI.

Mondays

Yeah, i'm yet to find a normal person who doesn't feel a pinch of pain at the thought or mention of monday, the only people who like them are those eternal optomists, and lets get real we hate them too. Maybe it's because monday is the furthest day from the weekend, or maybe you never want the weekend to end, and monday is always a rude slap in the face..

Research has shown that weekend lie ins on saturday and sunday, throw off your body clock, making you more likely to wake up late on monday, putting you in a shitty mood. This so called 'sleep debt' which you rack up during the week and use the weekends to catch up on increases fatigue throughout monday and tuesday

Public Swimming Pools

It's hot, you want to get healthy or just perve on hot men. So you go to a public swimming pool. If it's indoor you pay the huge fees, if its outdoor you step over towels and esky's until you get to a crappy grassy spot in the midday sun. You jump in amongst the hoards of people only to brush up against him. Ewwww

Well to add to your woes, an average public swimming pool contains more urine that fluoride. And of that urine you swallow about a cup everytime you swim... Keep your mouth closed.

Lactic Acid


Ahh you get going, your feeling good and suddenly you can't move your legs seize up and you get a funny taste in your mouth, and you have to limp back beaten by your lazy body, not to mention the soreness that you're going to get in a few hours.

It’s the excessive mechanical force which results in damage to the muscle or connective tissue, which is really the muscle pain you feel after excercise. The body responds by repairing it and this stimulates sensory nerve endings which results in pain. This is why it usually occurs when you first start an exercise program, or when you train at an unusually high intensity.

Requested: Freudian Theory

"because the source of all womens problems isnt penis envy, and 'mature' women dont get pleasure just from inside of them (thus making penis the main source of pleaure) he's chauvanistic and sexist garrrr"

Freud on The stages: The genital stage begins at puberty, and represents the resurgence of the sex drive in adolescence, and the more specific focusing of pleasure in sexual intercourse. Freud felt that masturbation, oral sex, homosexuality, and many other things we find acceptable in adulthood today, were immature.
Yeh, i'm angry

Malfunctioning Vending Machines

You're hungry, the line is long at the cafe so you decide to stick $2 in and by a chocolate bar to tie you over. You finally make your choice and your excited. You put your note in and it rejects it so you try another 2 times, you check yourself for change... but nothing! You're not going to get your chocolate today. If you do manage to find the change, your chocolate gets stuck and you just can't win.

U.S vendors, realizing they were losing sales because of validator malfunctions, formed the Coin Coalition to support the United States dollar coin. Their efforts to completely replace the dollar bill with the Sacagawea dollar have been unsuccessful so far. Guess your still without chocolate

Screaming Babies

You sit down on your flight, it's 9 hours overnight. You take off and you notice the baby whimpering 3 rows back. As the plane ascends so do the babies cry's into full blown screams. And they don't stop... all flight :

Photobucket




But why are you so annoyed by this... maybe it's because babies happen to scream at a volume close to the roar at a football stadium at 110 decibels, considering rock concerts usually peak at 120 decibels... it's no wonder you can't sleep!

The misspelling of words

Do you know people who chronically misspell words despite living in an English speaking country and never showing a dyslexic inclintation in their lives.
These people, also known as lazy spellers are contributing majorly to the economy. Stupidity is a major factor when companies decide keywords for their websites. Companies use misspelled words related to their company to drive people to their website.

Mosquito Bites

Do you hate the little red lumps that pop up on your skin, after chasing the buzzing around your head for the last 20 minutes, you've spent years avoiding bananas in peak mosquito seasons, taking Vitamin B all to avoid West Nile or Malaria

Photobucket

Well I'm telling you, there's not a damn thing you can do to avoid mosquito bites. Because it's 85% genetics. It's true that there is the one person in 10 that is extremely attractive to mosquitoes, but you can't beat them.
