Today I took a nap. As I was falling asleep, I became suddenly enraged about the existence of pencil toppers. Why? I don't know, I'm on sleepy brain. I haven't been sleeping well lately. In any case, as I was falling asleep, I started thinking about these things. I guess I should specify I was thinking about pencil toppers that are erasers. Anyway, I got really mad that they make really cool eraser pencil toppers. Because it's not like I'm going to use that to erase. Do I want to disintegrate the face of something I love? No.
So then I came up with the pencil toppers/erasers of things you hate idea! For a while you have to sit there, looking at the thing you hate when you first buy it, but then, as soon as you need to erase something, gratification! The spider's butt is clean gone! Haha! Success! You get to act on your passive aggressive hatred of things, and no cute puppy's face gets erased (unless you hate puppies, but that's really just sad). A win win. So...Yeah. That's my idea.
(Disclaimer: I don't hate spiders, I just figured that was an inoffensive example that many people do, in fact, hate. I do not like spiders particularly, but I appreciate them for the work they do.)

Another thing I always disliked about pencil toppers...they always seem to be made out of this weird material that doesn't erase anything at all. That's pretty much their whole purpose in life, to erase things, so why make them out of something that will just leave a colored smear all across your paper? Dumb.
ReplyDeleteGood point! Basically, pencil toppers are the worst. Just the worst.
