Why Do These 7 Things Exist?

The pocket on the inside of your underwear, what the crap is that for?

Why Do These 7 Things Exist?

There are "things" in the world that just shouldn't exist and are very unnecessary. These seven things are pretty much pointless, but also not harmless. But, why do they exist?

1. Raisons.

One word: DEEEEEGUSTING. Honestly, who sits there and says, "I want some raisons today for a snack." Prunes and purple are just two things that should never go together. Raisons ruin everything! Oatmeal RAISON cookies. Cinnamon RAISON bagels. Chocolate covered RAISONS. Take out the raison in all of these foods and they get 20 times yummier. The only other type of grape food you should snack on is candy or wine. Period.

2. The pocket on the inside of your underwear.

I know we have all thought of this before. It is not useful, but it's also not uncomfortable. But, just...why?

3. At least 17 years of school.

Kindergarten, five years of elementary school, three years of middle school, four years of high school, four years of college, and if you decide to do more school, that could be 20 years or more of school. Shake my head, 17 years of school and I am only this smart? I should be a genius right now.

4. Two dollar bills.

Good collectables, but we don't really need them. We already have enough worthless coins lying around everywhere. Why do we need more to keep track of?

5. Crayons.

Crayons are one of the most frustrating things to exist. They break if you barely push on them and half the time the color barely shows up. Colored pencils and markers exist for a reason people!

6. Chopsticks.

Seriously, think about this. Two sticks or a fork. I say, the faster I can get the food into my mouth, the better.

7. Fitness tests.

Enough said.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
