Totally disagree on #1 – playing the lottery.
I don’t know about your local lottery, ours cost aprox. $1.50 for one square and I play it whenever there’s a $10 million joackpot or better. Yearly cost: aprox. $30 – that’s one restaurant dinner in exchange for the how-nice-it-would-be-to-have-all-that-money dream. Well worth the price in my opinion.

Also am not so sure about #3. While complaining online, you get to practice grammar and spelling. That’s a good thing. Also it’s way better than being annoyed online without the complaining, right? At least it’s some kind of activity.

About the rest: You pretty much nailed it – so thanks for the list!

@ Melissa – A belated merry Christmas to you and a happy new too!

@ remowill – Yeh, but what’s sane? ;-)

@ Celes – I think we’re all guilty of at least one or two, I know I am, and it used to be a lot more than that.

Haha, great 'tips' Tim (especially #3 on complaining online and #10 on buying more stuff)! You gave me a good chuckle while I was reading this post (as always) :D Celes Celes | EmbraceLiving.Nets last blog post..Become the Master of Your Time

Are you sure you really want me to wake up that inner Giant? She’s kinda vindictive. LOL

Sorry I haven’t haunted in a while.

@ Mike – Now I know I shoul dhave read all 3 before reading the 2nd one four times thinking “WTF is Mike talking about” – lmao. No worries Mike.

BTW, I wanted to add another way to be miserable seeing as it’s Christmas. So if you want to really drive home the misery here’s a bonus tip:

Call Directv

If ever I’m starting to feel cheerful I pick up the phone and call DirecTv. This never fails to bring me down as I stumble my way through their voice (non) recognition system vainly hoping that somebody will take pity on me and answer the phone. If you don’t have an account with DirecTv don’t worry because there are lots of other options as companies fight tooth and nail to make your life a misery whilst taking your money at the same time.

Great examples are your cellular provider, Internet carrier, bank and aby major airline. Many of these can have you thoroughly fed up even before you call as your spend hours on end trawling their website trying to find a non-sales number and then wondering why you bothered as Billy Bob from Bombay reads his 5 hour script on company policy.
