Here’s an example – bear with me. I have a smartphone, and it happens to be made by a large computer company. I like it, it does what I want from a smartphone, i.e. i) operate as a phone, ii) do other clever shit. I wanted it to do more clever shit than Apple allow you to do out of the box, so I jailbreaked it, and now I can install various other things on it too. This is all well and good.

So in a conversation earlier today, I happened to mention that the jailbreakers have cracked the latest version of the phone’s operating system. (You may be thinking this is already a pretty boring conversation – I was talking to a crowd of geeks many of whom have the same phone, so it was justified in context.) Anyway, someone pipes up with “So what does jailbreaking really get you? I’ve never found a reason that’s convinced me to do it.” which is fair enough. So I started explaining that you can install third party apps so you’re no longer limited to just the software that Apple want you to have, and personally I like theming and skinning the OS since I get bored looking at the same look and feel all the time, and was going to go into more detail about why some of these things are quite cool when Prick A cuts in with “Like you can do on Android then!”

Jesus fucking Christ. This is exactly like answering the question “How can I (perform moderately complex software task) on Windows XP?” with the  answer “Use Linux!!!!”, and it marks you out as a supercilious cunt of the fucking highest water.

I’m too irritated now to remember the other example I had.

Fuck you.

But there’s more. My car is special. More special than most – though it’s not unique, there are others out there like it. I’ve seen a few.

What makes my car special is that on the corners there are little orangey-yellow lights. And when I feel like turning a corner or changing lanes, I can flick a lever inside next to the steering wheel and make two of the lights flash! The way I do it is I make the ones on the left side of the car flash if I want to turn/drift left, and the ones on the right flash when I want to turn or drift to the right. It’s brilliant! A few other cars have the same feature, and it’s almost as if there’s some sort of code of the highways that we follow that means we all do the same thing, so we know what each other is doing or about to do. It works quite well.

Sadly, most cars seem not to have this feature. They look like they have the same lights, but theirs don’t flash when the car turns or changes lane, so they must not be the same thing.

Shame really. It’s well fucking handy to know what every other ton-and-a-half of speeding metal is thinking about doing, when travelling at high speed.

When I go to the fucking supermarket for gin and meat, I pay by fucking card. When I stick my card in the machine, I fucking KNOW what to do next. You don’t need to fucking tell me to enter my PIN. I fucking KNOW. The reason I haven’t done it yet, is because the screen – which you, sat dribbling behind your checkout, cannot see – STILL SAYS WAIT.

I’m fucking standing here, eyes nailed to the display, hand poised over the first MOTHERFUCKING number, waiting for the CUNTING picosecond that the display changes and says “Enter PIN”, and I don’t need you to tell me to SHITTING enter it a full three HORSE’S COCKING second before the display updates, you NUMB-CUNTED SHIT-GARGLING GOBSHITE.

Honestly. I can manage.

So maybe, when you emerge onto the tube/train platform in the middle of rush hour, you might want to move along a bit. See there are probably people behind you who also want to get onto the fucking platform.

Or do you maybe get some little sexual pleasure from people bumping into the back of you, as you stop dead, head rotating like a fucking lighthouse gawping at all the pretty lights.

GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY, CUNT.

If you can find such hearty amusement in someone nipping back to their desk to retrieve something quickly so as not to annoy those who are holding the lift for them, then I truly don’t know whether to pity you for your utter and complete lack of wit, or to envy you in that you must be in an almost permanent state of near fucking hysteria.

Fuck me.

Why am I surrounded by such a dribbling ineffectual braying herd of gits, shits, pricks, cunts, fucks and more fucking pricks? Was I Hitler in a former life or something?

Jesus Suffering Fuck.

Actually could it hurt a bit more? I mean, it’s not like I’m fucking busy or anything. Great. That’s splendid.

EVERYONE’S WELL FUCKING IMPRESSED.

Cunting fucking teeth. They just give you gyp in the end. Rip them all out and drink soup, I say.

FUCKWADS.
