The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
The f'ing idiots are still going on. eBay is seeing an explosion of advertisements for dunny paper at insanely inflated prices.
Quilton 3-Ply 20xRoll Toilet Paper
eBay current bid is at.....wait for it..... $107.50 + $15.00 postage.
Yet, for exactly the same product from Coles is $10.00.
eBay is $6.125 per roll (yet bids are still happening).
Coles is $0.50 per roll.
I am completely lost for words, even more so with those that are bidding.

Looks like ebay are clamping down on those sales, as some of the previous outrageous sales and bidding are now deleted.

Death smiles at everyone. Grumpy old men smile back.
I was just about to drop this in the bin then a thought I might put it on eBay

Indeed it has, and the garbage described as news these days does exactly the same thing, the internet has greatly improved the ability of stupidity to spread far and wide, and quickly.
I also struggle with how seemingly intelligent people get sucked in to all the BS, some of those intelligent people turn into complete idiots while they're on there, sometimes it rubs off and they seem to remain idiots afterwards.
A favourite saying of mine is "Facebook = the dumbing down of the population to make burping and farting newsworthy"
And that's exactly what's happening, we see it all around us.
I've seen the rumours, gossiping, backstabbing and other assorted bullsh*t ruin otherwise happy families.
Say to them "the best thing you can do is get the hell off social media, don't jump on your phone as soon as you wake up etc. etc." and they look at you like you're committing a serious crime in front of them.
Just when we think they can't get any more pathetic sites like stupid twitter prove us wrong, no wonder the world's in such a fkn mess.
A while ago a friend of mine was telling me how good Pinterest is.
As I'd never used it I asked her how you use it and what it does...her response was "you pin things".
I said "what do you mean you pin things, how does it work?"
She said "if you like something you can pin it for later use and others can see it"
I said "And?"
She looked at me blankly, I don't talk to her much anymore...

I know EXACTLY what you mean.
Seen it many times but the latest was a few weeks ago. My fathers housekeeper was saying she had to go to the school because her daughter was being Bullied.
I said what are they doing? She said they are putting things on face book and social media. I said but what are they doing to her at school? She nothing at school, it'[s what they put on FB that's the problem, I said so what is that? She said you know, saying different things. I said like school yard gossip? She said yes but not at school, only on SM. It makes her very paranoid. They won't say it to her face, only behind her back on SM.
I said so whats the problem? If she doesen't look at it then it can't hurt her and they are doing nothing else to upset her from what you are saying.
She said you don't understand, it's on SM. She has to see it. I said what do you mean has to? is there somone holding a gun to her head to read it?
She said oh, you don't get it, it's all different to our day!
I said I don't think so. If no one said anything to me then I had nothing to worry about. If she gets off her phone and doesen't look at it and doesen't see it then how can it bother her?
I got a shaking of the head and she walked off.
Later my Dad asked me what he didn't understand that if the kids did and said nothing to her in person, how the fk could she be upset if she put didn't look at it? I said I know, that was my point. Dad said shes a real nice kid but she never has the damn phone out her hand and is looking at it literally every 2 Minutes.
I said yeah, that's the whole damn problem right there.
Mrs and I were catching up with close friends we hadn't been very social with a few weeks back whom invited us to dinner in their new home.As I'd never used it I asked her how you use it and what it does...her response was "you pin things".
They are both upper/ Middle management and make real good $$ and get head hunted a lot. Very sincere, generous and loyal people.
We had dinner which seemed to become a little rushed and then were ushered to the couch because Married without a fking clue or some such show was coming on.
I thought it was some sort of joke and made wise cracks till I saw friends were becoming irritated and were telling me to shut up and then asking what this one or that said. During the commercials they were talking like this was life and death stuff and was seriously Important.
I sat there wondering WTF was going on? Mate had been telling me not an hour before the place he had been managing just over a year that had been loosing money when he took over just posted a $7M profit and here he is literally on the edge of his seat totally fixated on what bimbo screwed what lug nut and whether the Bimbo with the the oversize DD implants, and that was just in her lips, knew about it.
And She was far worse!
I know particularly she is a real hard arse at work and I'm thinking if your staff could see you now getting all wrapped up in this horse shit, you would never be able to control them ever again.
Soon as it was over they went back to being normal, sane, highly intelligent people.
I don't know how many times I have been asked if everything is ok and if anything has gone wrong because I didn't answer my Mobile.
Apparently I'm supposed to have it on me every waking moment and under the pillow every minute I'm asleep.
I also get the "Didn't you see my message of Face waste/ Messenger? Uhhhh no? How can that be, I sent it a week ago!
Well give it another 3 weeks and I -Might- have some reason to look there.
BTW, Why didn't you just ring, text or email me?
Ummmmmm.......

"You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can't make them think? If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
The information is out there; you just have to let it in."
That one may have been a hoax as one I saw from the above link that had $7500 buy it now on it but there are plenty more on there with people bidding and I doubt they are all hoaxes.
Reminds me of what I saw a while back with those little plastic toy things Coles were giving away. The prices some of those sets were going for, well over $100, was incredible.
You'd think they were actually something of value not bits of plastic crap designed to distract housewives from the fact the prices were going up every day for no justifiable reason.
Correct ~ hoaxes are easy for ebay to filter out, but legitimate use of their online marketplace is what they guarantee in result : if it's not a hoax and some numpty is prepared to pay (let alone bid on) prices like that for toilet paper, then that's good entrepreneurial endeavour.
