Well I can debunk several of these off the top of my head:

This reminds me of an episode of The Office... where Dwight swaps his chair for a stability ball, and proceeds to annoyingly exercise with it at his desk during work hours. Annoyed, Jim grabs a pair of scissors, and stabs the stability ball. Go Jim.
What works just as well and doesn't require spraying stuff at your lawn mower is to blow compressed air at your lawn mower's blades after each and every mowing. Not the stuff that comes in a can, but the really high-pressure stuff that comes from your air compressor. Of course, this only works if you own an air…
People usually spend way more than they need to when back-to-school shopping. Buy a storage bin, and put all school supplies in there when the school year ends. Usually you'll save at least half of your back-to-school bill by just re-using last year's supplies. This includes backpacks. Why buy a new backpack just…
You're still needed because you CC'ed boss^2 on the email with the idea =)
Agreed.
Get ready to buy a new fridge. They weren't designed to run for long periods of time, and will break if forced to do so. Air conditioning is just the opposite, and becomes more efficient after an hour or two of being on.
A tip for putting band-aids on fingers:
I know the garbage bag thing is used in the workplace all the time by the janitorial staff. Or at least it used to be, at my workplace. To save on bags, they now just dump small cans into a larger can, only changing the bag every couple days instead of daily.
Another tip to add to this:
I find that most douchebags are too douchey to recognize the mirror when they see it. They're usually rather unintelligent people, and never make the connection. In fact, they're generally the type of person who subconsciously thrives on creating drama (even though they'll never admit it, even to themselves) and will…
I like the amount of thought you put into it, but you should have gone one step further. I have a very slight allergy to dogs. We have 4 at my house right now, and when I start sneezing I know it's time to vacuum and clean up all the pet dander. I also have the same type of allergy towards people who bathe as often as…
Just wait until you have a co-worker who can't seem to write an email that has less than 2000 words... it won't seem so silly then.
I disagree that care should be free. Having been mis-diagnosed by nurses when a doctor took 10 seconds to correctly diagnose me afterwards, I'm ok with the doctor getting paid a bit more than I do. They need to get paid somehow, and socialist medicine is not how to do it. Just ask Canada how screwed up it is.
Ah, you refer to GOMERs (Get Out of My Emergency Room), as we call them in the medical field. The last time I was in the ER (legitimate reason, mind you) I overheard a lady in there talking about how she comes in at least once a month with a fake illness just to get prescriptions to cheap pharmacies. Of course, she…
I use 2 of these.

I've done this in the past, but it was more legitimate than just trying for free parking. I owned a parking pass to the lot in which I parked. Being in a hurry and not paying attention, when I hung the pass on my rear-view mirror as I was leaving, I didn't secure it well enough and it fell off, and didn't manage to…
Don't hate on DSL. When my only cable choice is Comcrap, I welcome DSL with open arms!
The annoying thing about credit cards is that while, yes they are the devil, they are pretty much required to establish credit required to finance a car, house, etc. I keep my number of credit cards to a minimum, and the whole balance is always paid off immediately (except large things that I've planned on financing -…
