I know I've a story like this before that Reddit post. Dunno if that means the Reddit one is fake, that this was a repost by the person who did it before, or even that someone else saw the one I did a while ago and decided to act it out in real life.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I figure this is why I have to do nothing at all.
When someone is a jerk there are always people lined up around the block to give them grief.

I wondered if this might be true - so did a google.
I have just finished laughing after finding anotehr urban legend
Quote: (March 2000, Idaho) A teenager who imitated a scene from the hit movie "American Pie" was severely burned when he tried to shag a hot apple pie. Dwight Emburger, 17, was rushed to the hospital with serious burns to his penis. He apparently could not quell his desire until the tasty pastry had cooled, and his reward was a penis badly scarred and scalded by the hot filling. A hospital spokesperson in Boise said, "This demonstrates that producers should consider the effects their films have on the idiot gene pool."

What irritates me the most is parents who are so used to their children screaming and misbehaving that they don't even notice it and don't understand why it bothers other people...

So, I'm sitting here feeling that odd internal whoosh from having a bunch of 120z cups of very strong Cafe Bustello (as mud coffee). Too much too soon. This has happened before, so I recognize the feeling. Upon reflection, however, I realize that this is always a borderline natural state for a programmer.
At this point, I was about to dismiss the whole state, when an epiphany mas grande was bestowed upon me. Unasked, I will nonetheless share:

I'll be popping some corn and getting settled in a comfortable chair before Nagy espies this post.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Are you implying that @Nagy-Vilmos doesn't think?
Probably right....

You're sure you haven't mistaken this feeling? It could be a grande mal episode. Try methamphetamine in large doses to achieve the full epiphany.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

We need big sacks for most programmers, though, and more rocks.
