Things you don't like (tangible objects)

I worked for a mattress store and got the mattress for what the store paid (that was our employee discount). Mattresses are a 100% markup; so if it's a $2000 mattress they really only paid $1000 for it so I got a decent deal.

Sleep number has a remote that adjusts the firmness (tempurpedic is actually copying this year and bringing out a similar model) what sleep number does is uses an inflatable well inside the mattress to make it more firm or more soft. It's a scam IMO. The well eventually breaks. I would imagine it to be more comfortable though for a while since it's adjustable and it has a good warranty (25 years-10years non prorated) so they will fix it.

The problem with tempurpedic is, it's not adjustable firm/softness wise so once you have it if it's too firm the goddamn thing never breaks (in). I guess that's a good thing if you find the perfect one. But I didn't so I hate it. So I'm stuck with this thing since you can't throw away a perfectly good mattress.

Obsolete technology that hipsters (or similar types of people with nostalgia for vintage and a hard on for obscurity for its own sake) put on a pedestal.

-8bit video game consoles (if you wanna play the games, just fuckin use an emulator on your comp)
-Vinyl records and associated playback and recording equipment. It's shit, plain and simple. The quality sucks, it's cumbersome, and I can fit more songs on a piece of silicon the size of my pinky nail than I could in a warehouse full of records.
-Typewriters. Unless you're doing carbon copy forms, why the fuck would you pick a typewriter? Even then, use a dot matrix printer. I see fuckin hipsters with their typewriters at (indie, hipster aesthetic) coffeeshops writing out their (amateur, lame) poetry and attempts at novels and screenplays. It's retarded and makes me want to hurt them, BADLY...even when I'm on mad MDMA.
- Film Cameras (esp non-SLRs)...what the fuck. Why you do dis gooby? Digital, shoot 500 pics, and get the one good one, free. Film: Shoot 12 pics, pay 20 bucks to get them developed at a pro shop, they all turn out like shit cause it's fucking 100iso film in a dark alleyway thru a Lomo. GTFO.

Wrong! The quality is better. Same with traditional film cameras and tube televisions.

This "it's new and small therefore must be better" is generally a crock of shit unless you are talking about upgrades of the same thing (e.g. new computers are better than old ones).

Whats up with mass-produced sundials that have crappy art-work imprinted on them? I want to tell the time not re-live Bernardo Bellotto's stupid horses. Honestly ...

Parmesan cheese (the smell is so damn rancid) Yes, I know odor is not tangible, but it completely ruins the cheese. I can't eat something that smells like sweaty feet and week-long unwashed testicles.

Tags in the back of shirts.

Sales papers for grocery stores I never go to and life insurance mail that I never open. Stop sending it to me already!

Bruises that appear out of nowhere and refuse to go away.

Toenails. Seriously, what purpose do they serve?

Paper mills within city limits. My town smells like a dirty diaper.

I hate how it makes that crunching sound that literally travels up your arm directly into your ears.
