Thanks, Alicia, for taking the pictures and also being witness to the slow destruction of my mind.

Ever failed at something on Pinterest (or EHow, or any of the other bullshit sites)? Tell me about it!

Sock buns are pretty much the hardest thing ever.
SUUUUUUURE it looks all easy and shit, when you watch the video. Mmm hmmm. That’s how those tricky bastards suck you in… they want you to think you’re going to look freaking fabulous with a few flips of your (ha, right) dextrous fingers.
Oh, how they are wrong. I got the sock bun to work once. I think it was held in with a handful of unicorn farts, tears of several children, and the last shred of my sanity.
I give up.

A sock bun? What kind of fuckery is that.

I’m with Gia on this… Don’t sucks belong on feet? Why would I want stinky feet smell in my hair? I’m so confused. I pretty much fail at anything “girly” ..I think I was meant to be a butch lesbian or something.

SOCKS not sucks…. See I even fail at replying!

Every “beauty tip” I’ve ever seen or read about and tried ended up with tears and vodka, too. Who the hell comes up with these ideas?! They’re illogical, most of them are painful, and they’re god damned stupid.

Why do I picture Alicia just off-camera, strapped to a wheelchair and sobbing while you reenact “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”?
“Noa, you’d never treat me this way if I weren’t in this chair!”
“But ‘cha are, Alicia! “Char in that chair!”

I’ve never failed at anything I’ve seen on Pinterest for 2 reasons: 1. I’ve pinned so many things I want to do, it’s become too overwhelming to even think of attempting anything, so I haven’t. 2. Every single time I go on Pinterest with the intent of picking a project I’ve pinned to finally complete, I get sucked in and end up pinning more random bullshit that I’ll never make. Pinterest fucking ruined my crafting/beauty/DIY/cooking life, but much like a crack pipe, I just can’t let it go.
Oh man… I haven’t tried too many of the beauty-type Pinterest tutorials, but I WAS extremely disappointed when Pinterest told me I could make glow-in-the-dark bubbles with a broken glow stick. Does. Not. Work.
Is there a Pinterest tutorial for How to Drink Jose? Not that you or I need any help, but I’m sure some of its users need the instruction list.

You’re so pretty.
Yep, I was thinking the same thing. I didn’t want to come across weird or creepy or something, so I held off saying anything.
Love This! Ummm.. Everything I try from pinterest is awesome. Not sure whats wrong with you! Have you ever checked out pintester.com?
I just shat myself laughing. You bastard!

This shit’s hilarious. Although that sock bun looks like a fifi. I know what a fifi is because I dated a guy fresh out o’prison and he showed me how to make one on our second date after he shit himself in my car on our first date. That is a terrifyingly real insight into my young adulthood.

This is how I feel every single time I look at shit on pinterest. Honestly, no fucking human can ever actually do any of that shit. The sock bun– holy fuck my medusa hair just laughs at it and fucking absorbs all the shit I try to use to pin it down. And the polka dot nails? Oh, hell to the no. I still have nailpolish under my armpits from that shit.
NATurally Inappropriate recently posted..Fifty Shades of Holy Crap This Book is Dirty as Hell
My wife’s sister is one of those people that can do this kind of shit and make it look easy. One day when I was at work, she helped my wife clean up, throw away some things, and rearrange the stuff stored in my basement. Holy crap, the stuff took up about 1/10th its original volume and it’s easy to find shit. My wife’s sister did 90% of the work and it took about 3 hours. I could’ve put 30 hours into that project and it probably would’ve been worse than when I started. Incredible. I still think she’s an advanced alien sent here to study us.
This is why I would rather stick pins in my eyes than go on to Pinterest.

This is why I work from home. Because “making myself pretty” is just too much damn work!…And also, because I failed at life. And there’s a ready assortment of alcohol here to help dull the pain.
Mad Shady Girl recently posted..CONVERSATIONS WITH MY FLABBY GUT
You forgot to give us the tutorial on how to take perfectly good jeans and cut them up so expertly you turn them into hobo pants, while still somehow keeping all of your girly bits covered and holding on to your body by a thread and a prayer. I’m guessing that tutorial will also involve alcohol.

I love the way your dog is in those last photos, and in about half of those, she looks like she’s hiding her face in shame.
This is wonderful. I’ve never heard of a sock bun before. I bet people buy unused clean socks just to make them. Sickening.

OH MY GOD, thank you! I can now feel vindicated every time I watch a tutorial on Youtube and think, “That would so not work for me, as I am not a double-jointed multi-talented twat.” I once tried to make the Starboard Skirt tutorial from Pinterest, only to discover that it is not drafted for someone who is pear shaped. Fuck you gently with a chainsaw, Pinterest.

Fuck Pinterest.
If I had a dollar for every “cute or clever idea” that one of my “friends” (I’m wayyyyy over doing the air quotes but whatever) posted on Facebook I could bust out of this hellhole I’m living in and PAY people do give me smokey eyes, a sock bun, and polka dotted nails while I chug Patron and embarrass the hell out of my dogs.
WORD, Motherfuckers.

This epic post was somehow made all the better by the dramatic orchestra music I was listening to at the time.
Peed my pants from laughing. Sending you my dry cleaning bill, bitch.

I’m sorry, I love Pinterest (and I’m doubly sorry because I know my linkidink down there is going to point to a Pinterest post on my blog), but this killed me. Classic pictures!

WHY?????
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa…. Jump back.
What the hell do you do with a sock in your hair? Also, can you sub the sock for a scrunchie?
Hugs!

Actually, I think you got that smoky eye just about right. That’s how my niece does hers, anyway, and I am not even kidding about that shit.

Sock bun – epic fail on my attempt
Smoky eyes – I look like that every morning, from yesterday’s mascara
Polka-dot nails – I mess up clear coat
Conclusion, pinterest is a time vampire.
I’m sorry for laughing at your misery so hard that I gave myself another Noa Gavin Liquid Lobotomy. If it’s any consolation, at least you found a way to bond with the devil cat…

LOL. I definitely think you have a solid future in being a stylist.
Alyssa Queen recently posted..Patriotic Wariness
To be honest, as a guy, I have no idea what a sock bun or smokey eyes are supposed to look like. I mean, you got a sock shoved in your hair and you look like you got smoke in your eyes, so… job well done I guess? Really the only part where you fail is by drinking Jose and NOT Jose Silver… everyone knows white tequila takes all the sting out of failure.

Hmmm…my Pinterest is pretty much just Doctor Who shit and swear words. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.
Also, a million points for the David Sedaris reference.
