OK, just a thought before we begin. I don't think it would be appropriate to receive something like the following: *** "Hey, here's one I think is gonna be hard to beat. Really. Just yesterday got the lab test results, and my teenage son's gonna die of leukemia. And I hate that. I really do. I hate that so much." *** I'm sure you do, sir, I'm sure you do. We can all sympathise, but this is being a bit of a downer on what had hitherto been a somewhat light- hearted amusement. There are many support sites you can join on the internet, and I recommend you do. But for now, get the fuck out of here, and our prayers go with you. So, the general point is that the things you "hate" are kinda 1st world problems, you know, like whenever you wind your videotape back, it always stops on a commercial so you don't know what the show is for a full minute or so. You wriggle around like a 5 year old who badly needs to do wee wees while you wait. You hate that, don't you? Or you have to rush home coz it's 5:40 pm and your video is gonna start recording over stuff you wanna keep, precisely at 6:00 p.m, And you rush back seething, coz you just hate that. Or your neighbour can't believe you still have a video tape player coz he only has DVDs and makes comments about museums, and laffs like a drain (not Draney). And then you want to kill him with an axe, but you can't, so you just really really hate that so fucking much. That sort of thing, OK? The kind of problems Burmese and Afghans hear we have in the First World, and so get on leaky boats and sail thousands of miles of treacherous oceans so they can live here and have problems like that too.
