Why I Hate Objects

Why I hate Objects


I'm sure there are things in your life that just make you want to scream "Why Me!?".

Why Me Lord? Why Me?
This is one of those times.

Let me make this very clear, I like things, whether they help with chores or are recreational goods, they make life a lot better.
Dishwashers wash dishes.
Computers play games.
Washing machines wash clothes.
Bookshelves hold things.
Vacuum Cleaners Clean Floors.
Fantastic Right?

These objects, as brilliant and wonderful as they are, only bring joy if they are correct and in working order. In my case I have had issues with many objects, here's a list, please note the following occurrences are ALL whilst still under the product's warranty

- Entertainment unit - Missing magnets to hold doors closed
- Custom Designed Bar - Missing the interior shelves.
- Outdoor Setting - Wrong colour, 6/10 chairs completely warped.
- BBQ - Missing 1/2 hot plates. - Had to wait 3 weeks for BBQ to arrive and another 4 weeks for the hot plate
- Washing Machine / Dryer Combination Unit - Has been "getting repaired since it broke in early february". - Still not back
- Subwoofer for my speakers - Made strange noises, was taken back to JB Hi-Fi, they had it for over half a year before the return of the wrong unit. I have kept it anyway for fear of not getting another one back. - 7 Months
- Computer - Built myself. All parts arrived except for my RAM. - It took over 3 months to eventually cancel my order for RAM so that I could buy it somewhere else, for it to take another 2 months to arrive. (bought IN AUSTRALIA)
 

- Dishwasher - Took forever to get the landlord of my rented property to fix. - 4 months
- Lounge - Has an Ottoman that fits into it, the ottoman is missing all of its springs and has a completely different foam to the lounge. Repair man comes out and declares nothing is wrong, puts it in the report for the company, Now, I can't get another repair man to come and would have to hire a vehicle to take the ottoman back to the store.
- Bedroom Suite - The bedroom suite that was delivered was for a completely different house. It took 3 days to get them to pick it up and deliver the right items.

This list is only of the big things that have happened in the last 2 years
Some say bad luck, probably.
Some ask if I buy things second hand, Nope.
Some say I'm being picky, but I'm sure they have never experienced this degree of exasperation.

But I prefer the term cursed.

At the end of the day though, people don't want me to buy them gifts for birthdays or Christmas, because anything I get them is just going to be more trouble than its worth.

Why I Love Economics

Economics is a social science where studies the interaction of factors internally or externally that affects the market. I am a student of economics but more than anything else ; it is my HOBBY. Learning and reading economics not only gives me the understanding of wacky theories of why someone would actually buy and consume this particular good. But realistically, it is not about the actual reason why they would purchase the good for eg; I need food cause I am hungry? or something like I need petrol cause I have a car. Economics links the ties between a person in need of some good but what will change their perception of actually buying more of that particular good or less of it. Throwing consumption of a good aside, economics also touches on why producers would actually make or sell something. The reason is pretty simple behind all those complicated theories. They sell them because they are people actually buying them. Most of you will be like ; DUH isn't that o

Why I Like Computers

1. Entertainment Video games, my passion. There's nothing better than finish the final exam of the semester and coming home to a library full of games to play on my computer. I have a blast playing with friends online, playing competitively in games such as League of Legends and Counter Strike (Although I've kinda stepped away from those games for a while), and sometimes I just like to chill and play single-player games. 2. Education Being able to do my homework and studies from 1 device makes my life so much easier. Not only is taking down lecture notes faster, thanks to fast typing and auto-correct, but it also allows me to download all of my textbooks and readings and carry them around everywhere I go. 3. My Passion for Hardware There has been so many improvements in technology in the past few years. With faster processors, more storage, power efficiency, aesthetics, I have grown to be a PC enthusiast. I absolutely love learning about the hardware behin

Why I love coffee

There are only 2 types of people in the world. The ones who drink coffee or the ones that drink tea. Well, You guessed it! I am definitely a coffee person. I love coffee! I love how it taste, I love the whole ritual around drinking coffee, whether brewing it myself or just sitting in a coffee house with a nice hot cup of coffee catching up with a friend. And I love how it feels after I drink it! I enjoy my coffee when taken in small amounts, that way I can slowly enjoy and taste the aromatic smell of the coffee. In this post I'm going to list down some of my favorite coffees and what it is actually made out of. picture reference: Sydneymovingguide.com I personally love Espresso. Espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods as it has a high concentration of suspended and dissolved solids. As you can see in the picture above, espresso only consist 1/3 of espresso shot. So yes it will be bitter for those who are not use to drinking coffee on a daily b
