ALL CAPS



Why must people insist on typing things in ALL CAPS?? Typing, I know, is a fairly new development in the history of humanity. For those of us that have had computers or typewriters our whole lives (and at this point those who have not are like 100 years old and not on the interwebs anyway to read this post (hell, no one is on the interwebs to read this post so lick balls)) it is pretty much understood that capital letters equals yelling. So why would you yell an entire email?

I mean, I can move my left pinky finger approximately .4667 inches and press the caps lock button. Those of you that peck at the keyboard need to move your entire hand approximately 3 inches.

Is it too much to ask that you not TYPE YOUR ENTIRE EMAIL LIKE THIS. THIS IS PRETTY ANNOYING IF YOU ARE USED TO READING PROFESSIONAL EMAILS ALL DAY LONG. IF YOU HAD A TYPEWRITER WOULD YOU BE DOING THIS? CAN I EXPECT A VOICEMAIL LIKE THIS? WILL I MURDER YOU IF YOU TYPE LIKE THIS?

I think Jeffrey Dahmer typed his emails in all caps and that dude was a dick...or liked to eat dicks...or something...

MY WALL

I would like to build a wall around me too...I mean a literal, brick-and-mortar wall which would travel with me wherever i went.

In order to speak to me you would have to lightly rap on the door to get my attention.

Inside my wall would be a comfortable chair, a television and mini fridge...this would be especially useful at work because I could connect my computer to my television and use a wireless keyboard and mouse. The greatest part would be pretending I'm not inside the wall when someone I don't want to talk to comes and knocks on my door.

Obviously I would be inside the wall, It's my traveling wall after all, but I would not answer the door. Another major, major advantage is that if I was ever upset with something that happened while I was outside of the wall I could storm off and slam the door...that would be great...and furthermore, I would never leave my brick cubicle so anyone that is knocking on the door and getting no response would be doing so with the full knowledge that I am ignoring them and really, isn't shaming other humans half the fun of being human?
