Let's get this party going

If you're not the kind of person who ever looks at something and says "But that's Just Wrong", then you might want to quit now, as I don't imagine this will make much sense to you :)

Sometimes, things are Just Wrong. Somebody goes to do something, and you're obliged to tell them that it (or possibly them) is Just Wrong. You can't give a good (in their eyes :) reason why: if your opinion is to any degree justifiable, then it's just normal wrong. If you're lucky, of course, people around will leap to your defence, of course the thing in question is Just Wrong.

Then, of course, you find yourself doing a perfectly reasonable, sensible thing, and some idiot starts telling you you're Just Wrong. Without so much as an explanation! Or maybe they'll wax wrath about X being Just Wrong, and you find yourself thinking... I really don't give a stuff, either way.

So, I'm interested. What things are Just Wrong ? Here's a starter list from me, more as I think of 'em. Stick yours in a comment, and with luck we can even start a fight or two :)

• Reading the last page/chapter of a book to "find out what happens" in advance.


• Getting into an unmade bed (though making it immediately before you get in is fine).


• Eating a Kit Kat (or, even worse, a Tw*x) as if it were a single chocolate bar instead of treating it as separate fingers.


• Playing CDs on shuffle.


• Wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt under a short-sleeved one.


• If you're making tea in a mug, putting the milk in before you take the teabag out.


• Having the radio and the TV on in the same room.


• Having the TV on when no one's watching it.


• Cracking knuckles (any other joint is fine)

Update: To clarify, a thing can be Just Wrong, without necessarily being annoying. Putting milk in with the tea bag is heinous and Just Wrong, but if you want to do it with your own tea, I have no problem with that. On your own head be it. Similarly, there are many things that annoy me which I don't regard as particularly wrong. People leaving lights on unnecessarily annoys me, but I don't feel the need to take a moral stand on it ;)


Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm listening to Andrew WK, I bought that at the weekend too. It was cheap, honest :)

I bought it on the strength of really liking Party Hard. Which is just one of those things that I guess I'll go through life being faintly embarassed about. In order to like Party Hard, you clearly ought to be a fourteen year-old boy whose idea of a good night is drinking cheap export lager til he throws up. The track is immature in the extreme - it's off-the-peg rebellion, partying, and fat riffs. It's a huge, dumb, silly romp of a track with staggeringly inane lyrics.

And I love it dearly :)

The rest of the album is exactly the same. Ah well, I've turned it up loud, and am embracing my inner teenager :)

The few times I've seen videos from Andrew W. K. I've been quite amused. She Is Beautiful has a particularly silly video.

Is that the one with the very long mike lead ?

She is Beautiful is exactly the same song as Party Hard, but with slightly different words.

Yes, it is the one with the very very long mike lead. I was just amused by the concept.

The only other song of his that I've heard is Party Hard, and I was struck by the similarities. :)

I saw him live at a festival, and all his songs were the same. However, he did score a lot of points for pulling a random out of the crowd and doing most of a song with said random sat on his shoulders.

Well, coming soon to a hard drive near you will be the album, and you can hear another 12 or so tracks which have, er, his trademark sound, shall we say :)
