Don’t mess with perfection
If there is one thing I learnt from my mate Dave (no this is not an Ali G joke, his name really is Dave) it is to “never mess with perfection” That is why Dave and I don’t go to gym. So then I began to think who has messed with perfection. Here is my list:
Woolworths
I generally dig Woolworths because nowhere else can you buy roast chicken like at Woolworths. I eat chicken all the time. I eat it at lunch and dinner and in between. And it’s always Woolworths chicken. However my Woolworths frying pan is a piece of shit. You see a perfect pan is smooth. Woolworths thought it would be cool to imprint a honeycomb design onto their non stick pans. So after using it a little while these raised honeycomb pieces start collecting grease and it is nearly impossible to clean. You have to scrub like a bitch to clean it and that’s not fun. Then because these edges are raised slightly they make it easier for the non stick coating to come off. What I want to know is: What the fuck was wrong with a pan with a smooth surface? My Bauer pan cooks my Woolworths pan and eats it for breakfast. It rocks
Indicators
My old man drives a new Corsa bakkie and it’s all cool until you use the indicators. Instead of the old “ticking” sound that all other cars make they have now replaced it by an electronic “beep beep” sound. There is nothing that pisses me off more than this fucking beep beep while I’m trying to listen to the radio. Why would Opel do this? They are more stupid than anyone could ever imagine.
Sunscreen
Why does every sunscreen come in a fucking spray bottle these days? What exactly was wrong with the normal cream? Enevitably you are sitting on the beach spraying this cream and 25% blows away in the wind. Another percentage sprays in your eyes or greases your glasses up and then the last bit of cream in the bottle cannot get sucked up by the spray tube. And the nozzle gets clogged as well. Is this a ploy by the sunscreen manufacturers to make us use their cream quicker? I think it is. Then they still charge us R110 for the stuff. Fuckers.
More “Don’t mess with perfection” lists to follow but my brain is a little misty from sitting in the sun at
