I'm only 38 but I nap a couple times during a normal work day. It's not unusual.

Hey Grandpa maybe 'only' meant something different back in the 70s but in modern society only + 38 in terms of age don't go together unless you are playing bingo in a retirement home

He's just jealous of our awesomeness.

Or just not decrepit enough to be exhausted from simply being conscious for more than 6 hours in a row

You must have a nice cushy job, not all of us are that lucky.

I've had physically demanding jobs that would leave me constantly drenched in sweat but still no naps.

Also, unless physically demanding includes sitting at a desk and laughing at how he takes advantage of the monetarily challenged this doesn't apply to highland

The guy who comes in and makes sushi every other Friday for lunch forgot to bring chopsticks... Was forced to eat with my hands like some kind of person who can't afford proper utensils!

I'll be the first to admit that I try to give 110% all the time and it takes a toll. If I didn't need a nap between gigs then I'd feel like I didn't perform well.

You should have pelted him with it. Maybe not to the extent of oranges but...

I had to spend an hour choosing between two similar products to see if one was worth the extra $200.

I wanted to read a steady stream of first world problems so I clicked on this thread but have to sort through a bunch of off topic conversation.

I had to pause adblock for a site to work and then forgot to unpause it before playing a youtube video. Thats 5 seconds of my life waiting to skip a commercial I'll never get back

You're the reason why a big chunk of my YouTube video views aren't monetized... Grrr.

I am at a Subway behind a kid and his Grandfather and as they take their food away the kid walks back and smashes the next sub on the counter with his fist.

The old fuck never says anything, grabs the kid's hand and just walk out of the store.

It was my sub, that little shit smooshed. They made me a new one, but I am still floored that the fucker never said shit to that little bastard.

Kind of makes you wonder about karma some days.

I left my knives at the office today, and had to use a piece of rope and some mini locking pliers to remove part of a road sign so my robot could see me.
