Teabags: the wankening

[cloudsinvenice]

To my utter delight, it emerges that The Independent has a feature that is basically Fandom Wank in non-fannish contexts. The examples that brought this to light:

- Two men have ridiculous fight about how many days are in a week

Marks and Spencer didn't give an elderly couple two tea bags and people on Facebook can't cope

Oh dear. Why does everyone seem to stupid so much? Why must there be stupiding? :P

The sad thing is that it's a positive relief in comparison with all the internet wars that are actually about something! XD

I'm starting to think that living off the grid INCLUDING internet would not be such a bad thing... I could always go into a town for a day at a coffee shop if I needed a real Internet fix....

I must say, I don't regret being internetless by default when we go on holiday. I mean, sometimes I've had to go online from friends' houses to print boarding passes or check museum opening times, and I did cave last time we were on the 9-hour trip home from seeing my partner's family, but that was largely because I saw the cafe wi-fi as an opportunity to empty my inbox...
