10 Completely Stupid Things That Everyone Does (Even If You Deny It)

10. Attacking An Inanimate Object...

Basil Fawlty Car Gif Just face it, at some point everyone has €˜done a Basil Fawlty€™ at one time or another and attacked an inanimate object. Whether it's slamming down a phone, punching a wall, shouting at your car, or angrily, openly hating your phone because of your own technical failings, it's delightfully simple - and rewarding in the short-term - to take aggressions out on the innocent things that furnish your life. Will your computer really work better if you threaten it with violence? Even if it could hear/understand you, do you really think that turning the air blue in frustration would give it any incentive to work harder or better? Does slamming a door really prove your point and win the argument? Nope. Never has, never will... And deep down you know that.

I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction. I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long! If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it). I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work. Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that! Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?) Latcho Drom, - CQ
