Worthless

By tiddlycove (Score: 6.247)

report votes

Worthless (adj): Ten feet or more away from a computer, with no immediate relief in sight. Worthlessness (noun) is characterized anxiety, nervousness, incontinence and "air chopping". The worthless state can be brought on by visiting in-laws until just before midnight EST; an unreliable ISP; or merely by an unforeseen (but very necessary) visit to the washroom during a magical chat moment.

example: "My kids want me to play with them. It's my birthday, and my wife wants to lavish me with gifts and attention. My friends want me to join them for a really, really good time. But I am worthless, because Bigpeeler started The Greatest Thread Ever, and I haven't even seen page 36 yet. Life has no meaning."
