Not too long ago, I was sitting across from a friend in a coffeeshop who, upon spilling a scalding cup of coffee all over his groin region, jumped up so fast from his laptop that he forgot his headphones were still attached to both his ear canal and his computer’s audio jack. This (of course) sent everything crashing off the table and onto the tiled floor, causing the monitor to partially crack and detach from its hinges, rendering it totally useless. If this sound like something you’d somehow manage to do, I suggest you invest in a Replug, a universal attachment that will work with your iPod, your laptop and/or the Discman you’d never admit to owning, so when you decide to scorch your nether regions and neglect to remember you’re wearing your headphones, it’ll merely detach from the jack, saving everything from a miserable demise. A solid investment, and absolutely worthy of its Design Distinction award in this year’s ID Magazine Annual Design Review, don’t you think?

Tisk tisk (shakes my finger at him)
Maybe he shouldn’t have been using his lappy at coffee shop like a D-bag.

well, i guess the life of a freelancer IS pretty douchey.

Since when does using a laptop at a coffee shop make one a d-bag? I’ve often done it and there have been times when just about every person in the coffee shop was using one. Could somebody be jealous? ;)

No, actually, d-bags tend to follow massive trends. The current trend is “hey everyone, look at me, I’m a writer and I enjoy the finer things in life like expensive coffee!” D-bags don’t realize only other d-bags are jealous of their fashionable accessories. If you’re not a d-bag, you just wouldn’t undestand… d-bag. ;-)

Haha LOL

So it sounds like by using this, you condemn yourself to being a d-bag?
