The "Is There Anything Worse Than..." Thread

[funkymonkey1111]

I know we had a "Pet Peeves" thread way back when. But this is for those things that are "worse than" pet peeves. Things that are really irritating and tend to throw you into a rage. So I'll start.

Is There Anything Worse Than:

Lousy toilet paper. It's bad enough when you buy the really expensive stuff, so soft that even bears in the woods won't crap without it. The stuff that leaves enough "Ultra Soft - Ultra Suave" cushiony-paper cling-ons on your ass to completely take-over and crew the star-ship Enterprise. Worse than that is the stuff that, no matter how careful you are, it tears right at the most inopportune time and you wind up giving yourself an impromptu prostate exam. It's no wonder proctologists make $900 an hour.

There is nothing worse than lousy toilet paper.

consider the Costco wet wipe. It is indeed wiping luxury.

I got one roll of shitty one ply toilet paper that had to last me through BCT. That was pretty much the worst part of BCT. Thank god for MRE napkins! Fuck the devil for MRE shits...

I equate it to that old adage "You get what you pay for." There are a few things that are worth spending a little extra on- shoes, home improvement materials, and TP are on that list.

Add divorces to that list.

Add divorces to that list.

"Why are divorces so expensive?"
"I dunno, why are divorces so expensive?"
"Because they're worth it!"

Is there anything worse than being invited to an awesome day at a private range, accepting the invitation and getting excited about it for a week, and then being told by your wife that there is a wedding that afternoon for someone she knows and she already RSVP'd yes for both of you?


Is there anything worse than pouring yourself a bowl of *lucky charms* and getting all excited, only to open the fridge and be out of milk? (*substitute your favorite cereal*)


Is there anything worse than waking up in the middle of the night without your contacts or glasses on, having the uncontrollable urge to pee, going in to the bathroom in the pitch black dark and deciding not to turn the lights on because it would hurt your eyes and wake you up too much, locating the toilet with your knees and starting to pee only to realize the toilet seat is down?

Or more simply, is there anything worse than having to stop peeing mid-stream?


Is there anything worse than a phone call from your mother in law while you're in the middle of fore-play, and your wife answers it?

Nothing worse than brown-capping so bad you're starting to prairie dog, and you dash into a restroom somewhere and find the toilet stopped up and full of other peoples leavins'.

Is there anything worse than going to the fridge and realizing you are out of beer.....

One more.

Is there anything worse than a smoke detector battery chirp in the middle of the night? Especially the one in the master bedroom on the 3rd floor, not having a chair or ladder tall enough to reach the ceiling on that floor, and having to go to the basement to get a ladder to replace the damned battery, in your skivvies.

Toilet paper? You are spoiled! In Mother Russia it's a basket filled with scraps of newspapers. Did I mention that their hole-in-ground "toilets" can't handle newspapers so there's another basket for *used* newspaper scraps? And that people will indiscriminately toss their used into either basket?

Is there anything worse than.....

Getting it on with the ol' lady, and as soon as you drop those panties your 3yr old walks in.......
