List of things you think are Under-Appreciated.

Good Example:  
Scarves - Scarves are great, they keep your neck warm in winter, and don’t let wind or snow down into your jacket. They are not gay, or homosexual in any manor. The only thing better then a good jacket and scarf would be a snowmobile suit.

Wrist Watches - A good watch is always great to have. Some may say you can look at your cell phone to see what time it is, well sir, I don’t want that hassle. I don’t want to dig around for my phone, pull it out of my pocket, open it up and have to put that sucker back. I just glance at my wrist and instantly know what time it is.

Snow Tires - I’ve had good snow tires on the crappiest of cars, and you know what, I’ve never got suck. So the tires might cost 50% of the car’s value, at least you’re getting to places on time and in one piece.

Bad Example:  
Blow Jobs: No chicks dig blowing me, I’m a sad loser blah blah blah.

Me: I’m emo and depressed and no one appreciates me. blah blah

Ok cool, go!

Polo shirts. Thanks to having a collar, they are appropriate to wear in nearly any situation, work included, plus they have the comfort of a T-shirt.

PJ Bottoms. While this generation of college students doesn’t know what they’re missing growing up without it, this establishment ensured that 18-year olds would be able to go to a real-life bar as well as celebrate their freedom from living at home by making sure that they all got laid. They even played Pour Some Sugar On Me followed by Livin’ On A Prayer as a cue to let you know when to commence making out with your chick of choice for the evening.

Solid Food!

When you’re in the hospital for a week and can only have ice chips…you realize how much you take it for granted.

And the only bar you could leave with a different girl every night you were there and never take shit for it by the previous girls you left with.

I miss college in general. Parties, people everywhere, even classes. Ugh. Depressing.

Talking/communicating in person. Up to 93% of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues. The more we move toward a text-based communication society, the more people there are who use it as a crutch and are awkward and uncomfortable in person. It’s promoting a passive-aggressive culture as well. If someone right in front of you, particularly females, is pissed at you, they act like everything is fine. Then when you leave they send you an angry e-mail or IM or text saying what they really think.

Bic Crystals. They’re pens. Plain. Simple. They work. No unnecessary product differentiation bullshit.

They’re cheap and come in a big pack so it doesn’t matter if you lose them, the ink doesn’t get on your hands like the fancy faggot new gel pens, they fit on your ear and don’t have grippy bullshit to pull at your hair.

Yes I am an engineer and I have a favorite pen.
