I just tried a nose hair trimmer. Now the thought of trimming nose hairs is very odd... but I thought it would be fun to have a tiny spinning rotor grab onto my nose hairs and twist round and round until they have been painfully ripped out. I found this device to be a horrid way to take out your hairy nose. The fact that this was not only painful, and made my eyes water, but to my horror it was flinging out other peoples nose hair into my nose! Being that it was my dads device I didn't think to much of it and blew the excess hair out of my nose.

Has anyone even heard of a nose hair trimmer before?

What are some of the Technologies of today that scare you?

Dude....WTF? Yeah I've heard of them but that's just.....strange. =P

I find how much the Cell phone is being mutilated in function just as agonizing as the Commercials I watch on TV.

I didn't realized they are supposed to be painful. Maybe you should get the blades changed?
Now, those razor blades with gazillion blades that vibrate (not rotary blades--the razer blade looks like those normal ones, except it vibrates too)as you shaved them across your face (my dad has one), that freaks me out.
That, and Tivo. Scary.

I imagine he probably means the way that they're not just phones anymore, but combination cameras/MP3 players/toaster ovens?

And yeah, I have a nose-hair trimming attachment on my electric trimmer. Works quite well actually.

Yes, please do tell Anarchemitis.

Why on earth would you use a nose-hair trimmer or any other cavity-intruding electronic device that has been used by someone else ever?

There's only one exception to this rule and it involves bisexual identical swedish triplets.

Sounds like it converted itself into an epilator - I had one once, needed half a bottle of vodka before I could even switch the bloody thing on. I tell you, if I ever met the sicko who invented those evil, evil machines... They are meant to be used on the bikini line as well, which surely cannot be possible without an epidural at least.

Apparently it gets less painful after several goes, but I am completely unwilling to even entertain that thought. It's like waxing, you guys honestly have no idea how lucky you little sods are.

Ah maybe I should get the blades changed, I don't think I will be ever using it again however. Quite an odd device if you ask me...

Hahahaha. You used a nose-hair trimmer. Ha. That's hilarious.

berethond:

I do find it fairly hilarious myself, and to go back and think about how I thought it was logical is even funnier.

A Cell Phone is a gosh-darn phone, not a pager, not a TV and not a computer. It's a phone.

I'm gonna go with the those 3 head razors that are like...circular and go along your face and are supposed to trim the hairs quick and easy. Those scare me, I just stick to a regular razor blade.

You have an interesting perception of what "fun" is. :]

I still don't know why, even after moving out, my parents have been instilling their values unto me to use the auto butt flosser. After years of constant use, I highly doubt it works. Do you guys have an opinion on the butt flosser, or am I the only one still using it/should I abandon my usage?

What exactly is a butt flosser? I'm too scared to google it. I have this horrifying image in my mind of a contraption which inserts a large piece of tooth floss in your crack and goes back and forth. Please tell me this is not the case before I go to sleep. I don't want nightmares.

Edit: And if it is what I say it is, yes, you should stop using it. Now.

Edit #2: And if you just mean a bidet, the thing that sprays water up there to clean it, then just make up your own mind. However, if this is the case, please stop calling it a flosser, it puts horrible images in my mind.

Wow, I don't even want that thing explained to me. And yes it sounds like you should stop using it. Right away.

I actually just shave with a pocketknife and some water. It also happens to be what I use to trim my nose hairs and butter my scones....

Naw, I'm just messing with ya. I have like a stallion... in my nose... I would never cut it.

A Cell Phone is a gosh-darn phone, not a pager, not a TV and not a computer. It's a phone.

Actually at that point, it's just considered a handheld wireless device, not a phone.

But, I never did understand this argument and I've heard it several times before. Should a swiss army knife not have a bottle opener because, "God dammit, it's a knife, not a bottle opener!" This is coming from somebody who doesn't even own a GPS device, or a PDA and always takes the free cell phone that just comes with the plan. But who am I to say that somebody can't have an all-in-one device? They're going to pay for it once it breaks and they can no longer do anything since they put all their eggs in one basket. But that's the price you pay for convenience.

There are plenty of other evils in the world then electronic devices.

The guy sounds a bit nutty. I have a friend who ordered one of those, too. What a sucker. I even told him about generic ones you could buy that works just fine, and he said "But it's made in Germany!"

I don't understand our "desire" to make things small.
Who the hell wants a mobile phone you can fit between the lines on your palm? Who wants a laptop the size of some small speakers? Who wants a game console in which the cartridges are less than 1cm across (Yes, I'm looking at you, DS)? It's stupid. The smaller things become, the more expensive they become, and the more likely you are to lose them. I'd rather spend a small amount on a phone that I won't lose than a large amount on a tiny contraption that'd get lost in my back pocket. If I bought something like that, I may as well have thrown my money into a loch. It would have been easier. And with less stupidly small buttons.

Very violent cell phones which can be used as vibrators. (Or is this just an urban legend?)

"cameras/MP3 players/toaster ovens" I would pay for that.

I'm a computer technician, and I hate computers. I work for one of the largest technology retailer, as a computer technician. So people always bring in their broken computers, so all I ever see is computers that are infected, or are old and have bad hard drives, and other broken stuff.

Because of all this, I've grown to hate computers.

My money is on the internet. For all that is good in the world the internet is there to f it up.

I want miniaturised devices. There are actually a lot of reasons why I'd want miniaturised devices. I can hardly pull out a full-sized business laptop on the bus and use it comfortably. As for the Nintendo DS, the cartridges on that by the standards of memory cards are actually quite large, and trust me: you wouldn't want the likes of an SD card to be much bigger.

If everyone had stuck to this idea, people would have asked in the 1980s, "Why would you want a computer that would fit on your desk?", and you wouldn't be posting this on the ARPANET today.
