Barrier pole exhibits hostile behavior
As a devout believer in resistentialism, I can empathize with this man trying to do his job in the middle of a silent and hostile army of objects intent on hurting him at every opportunity. (via Arbroath)

So, um... he tries to let the cart roll under the gate, the handle, which rotates back towards the cart, is too high, it bends the gate as it goes under, and the rebound hits him in the face.
Sounds like a Darwin Award to me. He should have opened the gate properly. Or at least checked the height difference.
Ow! How did that not break skin? Or maybe it did?
Romulus - This post is a funny... did you look up the word resistentialism?
Ouch
The meanest, strongest and most wily soldiers in the war of resistentialism: Cords and hoses.
I look forward to this man's appearance in a Weezer video.
The meanest, strongest and most wily soldiers in the war of resistentialism: Cords and hoses.
You said it. Everytime I drop a hose with a squeeze sprayer attached, the sprayer blasts me with cold water. It could shoot in a dozen directions, but it knows to aim right at my head.
I got a black eye once from one of those retractable vacuum cleaner cords. If we had sent Hoovers instead of soldiers, we'd be out of Afghanistan by now.
I drove from northern california to LA and right as we were driving through the smelliest part of the drive - across from that ranch full of cattle - the car blows a radiator hose. We were stranded in cow shit smell city for a while. The car could have brokend down ANYWHERE else and it would have been infinitely better. I had that car crushed.
Yeah, those things can really clean house.
Ow, right in the eye.
Once, when I was at the fine dining establishment of TGI Friday's, I went to insert a drinking straw into my cup of soda when, somehow, the straw bent at an odd angle around a series of ice cubes and shot right back out and hit me in the face! I couldn't have replicated that again if I tried.

That's because straws are sneaky, and will never use the same way to hurt you more than once.
In H. Chandler Elliot's classic 1954 story, Inanimate Objection, it's always been Stuff vs. Us.
Ask yourself this simple question: who lasts longer?
"I drove from northern california to LA and right as we were driving through the smelliest part of the drive - across from that ranch full of cattle"
The ranch you mean (on I-5) is Harris Ranch, also referred to as 'Cow-schwitz'.
It seems less to me like resistentialism & more of poor foresight on the behalf of the fellow with the pallet jack. It's a thought-provoking way to introduce an AFHV clip tho' & I learned a new word. Nice work.

Woody Allen did a hysterical stand-up routine about how his home appliances conspired to make his life miserable.
He brings them all together in the living room, sits down, and asks for a truce. One day he loses it and beats the toaster. The talking elevator in the building takes revenge.
