Those are my favorites - "Why doesn't everybody in my company want to work 80 hour weeks and never take vacation, like I do?" Geez, maybe it's because they don't own the fucking company and there is absolutely no benefit to them to work themselves to death? They're not the ones making more money just because they're increasing company profits.

FAKE! Obviously no self-respecting Apple iPhone user would own a Windows PC. Gotta keep it all in that walled garden, baby!

I ran into this when I was thinking about buying some Doc Martens recently. I know there have been other examples, that's just the most recent I can remember.

Damn, I've been singing their praises for years...but I haven't actually bought a new pair in ages

I had free laundry for most of my freshman year of college. We had coin operated machines, and somebody quickly figured out that you can strip 2 wires and just touch them together, or touch a coin to both of them, and every time you did that the machine would think a coin had been inserted. Eventually the college caught on and one day I went down there and all the machines were taken apart with maintenance guys working on them, and after that there was a heavy duty housing for the coin acceptor with no exposed wires. It was nice while it lasted!

That's why it pays so well

Well now I wish I had thought of this for my wedding
