VIDEO: For everything else, there's Zipties!




Zipties (aka cableties) are one of the most ingenious inventions ever. It is lightweight, easy to carry, easy to apply, and most of all, strong as hell.You can use them for almost any application, whether it be fixing your car, random wires hanging around the house, the broken spade in the shed, your file cabinets in your office, or just to tie a friend up for the lulz.

Here we see how you can prolong the life of you car's bumpers with the use of this miracle plastic strip. 




The only other thing which beats the cable tie in terms of application and ease of use is duct tape!

Stupid people acting careful

You drive casually along the highway. Its bright, sunny and the traffic seems smooth. 
You switch the radio a little louder and enjoy the rest of your undisturbed, unjerked journey.

And then you hit this massive amount of cars all jammed up after the next turn. Then you ask, "Why? why the hell is it jammed on a freaking Sunday afternoon???"

As you trickle down with the others along the road to get to where you want to get, you will be wondering what caused the jam in the first place. Is it an accident? Is it invisible rain that only you can't see? Is it a dead animal in the middle of the road? Did someone commit suicide? 

Soon, we find the answer: its the first. 

"oh an accident....the car is on the emergency lane. Its getting jacked up on to a tow truck....SO WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYONE SLOWING DOWN??? Its on the freaking emergency lane! Its not even obstructing any traffic whatsoever.  

Its like, "oooo loook accident! OMG I never see before ooo... Wa got people die ah? OMG wa...tow truck wor! Wa look! Blinking yellow lights wa wa Im so excited that Im not looking at the road which I should be! ooooo look find for the number plate...write it down ya, maybe can strike lottery ooo!" 

Sounds familiar? If it does, please go hang yourself with your shoelace.

Automotive Signal Lights

Saturday, 11.34pm, 1 Nov 08 – I almost got into another accident because some retard was exercising his retard-ness by being oblivious to his surroundings on the road. Not just that he may be visually-challenged or intoxicated but it would have really helped if he had just used a simple function that all modern cars come factory-fitted with – the turn signals.

For those of you who have no idea what I am referring to, maybe this will refresh your memory.

It is a lever on the right side (most Asian cars), or left side (most European cars or cars that think they are European cars) of your steering column which is where you steering wheel is attached to. Turn signals are also known as “indicators” or “blinkers” and were devised in the early 1900s but only were widely employed on automobiles in 1939. These lights had flash intervals of half a second and were generally used to get the attention of other road users to tell them that an individual is making a left or right turn.

To use the turn signal, all you would have to do is (for right levered turn signal cars) push “down” on the lever for a “right” indicator and push “up” for a “left” indicator. For cars with levers on the left side of the steering column, it works the opposite (if you are too dumb to fathom the idea I suggest you stop driving and eat a pie made out of thumb-tacks).

Yes, it is so simple and easy to use that you should by all means use it. If there were to have an accident and you did not use your indicators lights, you would be in the wrong if you switched lanes without “informing” others on the road. This leads to a hefty fine, hours in a police depot dealing with disgruntled officers and loss of insurance money to the other road victim. I think you would rather spend your time in the toilet counting hairs than endure that.

So use your bloody signal lights, let others know if you are going left or right.
