Some people just get in your face and do all sorts of mean and disrespectful stuff, even if you didn’t do a thing to them. There’s no sense in arguing or rationalizing with people like that, simply because they started out by acting without sense, reason, or logic.
So to deal with your frustrations, anger, and annoyance, just pee on them.

PPShots are sold in packs of two for $10(USD) over on Amazon.

Plugging your phone into the main is for suckers. What you really need is one of a new breed of microbial fuel cells to drive your phone—so you can power it with pee.

Sure, there’s no air in space. But once you’ve overcome that rather urgent deficiency, you’ve got to deal with another one: no water. Thanks to science, astronauts can solve that problem by just drinking pee. Zero-G YouTuber and ISS astrodinaire Chris Hadfield explains. More »
