Fastfood, I guess. The main offenders are White Castle and KFC.

My vice is acquisition. I love to get new things, be they comic books, DVDs/Blu-Ray, Magic:The Gathering cards, Funko Pop figures, or anything else that catches my fancy.
It's not that I ever spend more than I can afford, but I sometimes buy things just for the sake of adding to my pile of stuff, so much so that I should probably change my screen name to Taneleer Tivan.

I suspect the internet would qualify as a vice for many of us here. I know I waste way too much time idly surfing the net (do they still say that?) with no particular purpose in mind - even when there's useful stuff I should be looking up because I need to find out how to do something or other. So, so right. The single most precious thing we have is time, and the internet is a very efficient time-waster. Arguing with people on the internet is probably the most serious vice I suffer from, and one I really should try to curb. Life is just too short. |

And if a good 50% or more jobs in industrialized countries didn't require a PC with internet connection to do the job you're paid for people would probably spend less time on the internet. Because when it comes to home, necessary things and fun things, as much as I love you guys and gals, internet is at the bottom of the priority list. But at work .... well let's just say my priorities are different. :-) |

I feel your pain. The frustrating thing to me is that the internet is potentially the greatest learning tool in the history of civilization, yet most of us don't even come close to utilizing its full potential. I have a numerous scientific and historical sites saved in my various bookmark folders that I almost never visit. I really need to get on correcting my internet time-wasting behavior. |

What I love, though, is how whenever something breaks in the house there are usually five Youtube videos showing you how to repair them. Because company websites are hopeless in that regard.

My wife found a youtube video on replacing the thermostat and heating coil (I think) on our dryer. Looked up the schematic online, and we were able to buy the parts for like $15 total on ebay and took maybe an hour to do. No telling what a repairman would have charged. |
