Whatever you guys say, I guess I must just be lucky.

Sounds a little paranoid to me. I think there is a decent chance they just like having you around.

Wow, this is kind of weird. I didn't realize people's families/friends did this. I'm surprised reading everyone's comments.

I know this isn't technically what you are after, but the best luck I've had by far is with a pair of fingerless gloves with the mitten pull over part. Something like this:

Thanks a bunch, really appreciate it.

Just make sure you only ask this once in a very rare while. You don't want to become that whiny "what am I doing with my life" friend.

Haha, I feel like we could all probably bypass it if we really wanted. I think it's more of a motivator or reminder. I doubt the makers intention was to truly brick your PC for anything but writing until you hit your goal.

As a man, I love the IUD. If you are in a relationship where you have moved past condoms, there isn't a lot you can do as the guy (short of a vasectomy, and there are usually a few years between condoms and getting snipped).

I like the idea that the carburetor is the supposed culprit in this myth. Might as well blame the windshield wipers for all the relationship the carburetor has to your lubrication and oil temperatures.

It kind of goes along with the "four wheel drive automatically making your car good in the snow," thing, but a huge pet peeve of mine is people slamming on brakes or taking corners too fast because they have four wheel drive.

And every single time you drove over the speed limit near a cop, or had your cell phone out you got a ticket? It's all up to the officer in question's discretion. Also, it may be a state law.

The only place I've ever seen this used where I thought it was a good idea was on fine sand. Getting a little more surface area under your tires can help keep you from sinking in. Other than that, I'm with you. Your tires are designed to work at their normal air pressure. Leave them alone.

The real answer to this question is "when the guy with the white coat and a decade of intensive medical training says you do (no fair cheating and pestering him until he gives in).

This is great.
