Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about finding stupid things for sale on ebay…It’s just been insanely busy the past week or so, and hey, it takes TIME to find that perfect, useless, best of stupid ebay auction.

I had a lot of choices this week, between burnt toast, smelly old sneakers, a lady offering to email you for $1.50…

But decided amongst everything for sale on ebay this week, this by far wins the best of stupid award:

DEHYDRATED WATER

The directions are pretty simple: Empty contents of can into one gallon of water, stir until dissolved. Chill and serve.

The iPhones are nice…but well, they are just hard to use for some people, since the buttons are pretty small. If you have big fingers, it can be pretty tricky to hit the right buttons when you want to.

Fortunately, Halim-Belajar SEO shared with me this perfect solution for helping make your iPhone experience more enjoyable:

Why change the design of the iPhone when people everywhere can simply change the shape of their thumbs?

Thanks for sharing this with us Halim!

Yesterday I spent about a half an hour on hold on the phone.

You know how anytime you call someplace they say “This call will be monitored and recorded?”

What would they do if YOU told them you were monitoring and recording the call?

“I just wanted to let you know this call will be monitored and recorded for training purposes. See, we have kids and no doubt someday you’ll screw them over and we want to have this documented so we can teach them how to fight with you over the phone.”

My second pet peeve about waiting on hold on the phone is the automated menus. It wastes an awful lot of time.

Is there really any need for them to say “Please listen carefully as we recently changed our menu options”?

Do people really memorize their menu options? Do you really have a need to call any company so much that you’re storing useless information in your head like “Press 1 Before They Tell You What it is! Press 1! Quick! Before she tells you who Option 1 is for!” ?

What do you think about these kind of calls?

I came across a totally awesome wordpress plug in today called Keyword Luv. Basically it gives you a link with your keyword anchor text for any blog comment.

When you enter your name in a comment, enter it this way:

Your Name@Your Keyword
EXAMPLE: Chelle@Funny Pictures

Then write your MEANINGFUL COMMENT IN ENGLISH and voila! you get a Do-Follow link with ANCHOR TEXT. If it is not meaningful (typical “fake comments” like “I like the design of your blog” or “Good work!”) it will be deleted, but all other comments are welcome.

I would like to build a list of these keyword luv sharing blogs, so if you are one, let me know You can also stop by my blog on dating and relationships or my real estate marketing blog for some additional keyword luv. All 3 blogs are do-follow with keyword luv, comment luv, and Sez Who

Stealing stuff is stupid, but stealing pillows and leaving a trail of it to where you are sleeping on the stolen pillows is really stupid.

Apparently this guy and his friend broke into a department store, loaded up on things like pillows and hammocks, and then decided to just lay down and take a nap when (no surprise!) the police caught them.

You can read the full news story here. Looks pretty comfy, don’t you think?
