Charlie covering his ears
Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“Wait, did the tsunami cause time to move ahead!?” Nope, daylight savings did.

    Wow. Really? ….Really? ><

  2. JessiBob says:

    WOW. Just wow…

  3. Lucie says:

    What?!? Did she not know daylight savings existed before??

  4. Lexi says:

    I wonder if before, half of the year they ran an hour behind/ahead and couldn’t figure out why they were always late/early.

  5. Bee says:

    Wow. I love how hilariously clueless these girls are.

  6. Macy says:

    ……… wwwwooooowwwwww.
    How do they live on their own?

  7. Karisarusrexx says:

    Just when I thought the couldn’t get any stupider…

  8. Jenn says:

    Imagine if that was actually a power the ocean had. We’d be like, years into the future.

  9. Mathgeek103 says:

    Oh golly…. I think i just died a little bit.

    P.S. HAPPY PI DAY YALL (3/14 is 3.14)SPREAD THE WORLD AND EAT SOME DELICIOUS FRUIT FILLED PASTRIES!!! :D

  10. not a math geek but still love pi says:

    3.145926…the most irrational never ending number. :)

  11. anon says:

    my iq has dropped 30 points just by reading this. Sadly, there is no help for them.

  12. Michelle says:

    *Sigh* I don’t even know how they live by themselves.

  13. anneremy says:

    I mean… there are no words.
    How do you stop yourself from audibly responding to that? If I were you, there’s no way I would be able to listen to them without responding with a, “COME ON!” (Gob Bluth style).

      “Illusions, Michael, illusions. Tricks is what a whore does for money.”

      I can’t listen to The Final Countdown without imagining Gob and his little dance thing. :)
      I love Arrested Development.

  14. Leila says:

    This makes me wonder where they have been for all of the other daylight savings time changes that have occurred during their lives.

    Usually I read this with a slight fondness of them and their stupidity, but this one is one of those “Seriously? Are you really that dumb??” Kind of depressing.

    • mandymai says:

      Maybe they lived in a place that doesn’t do day light savings before they moved in.

  15. fachento says:

    Now would be a good time for the Tsunami Insurance salesman to pay a visit…

  16. Melissa says:

    My brain hurts. God bless you Charlie.

  17. AisforRandom.blogspot.com says:

    i heard the whirl pool caused a shift in the space time continuum, it’s currently 1911,

  18. lilmisslysha says:

    Wooooowwwwww, seriously?

  19. Nick Barry says:

    NO, SHE’S RIGHT. But I don’t know if she knows why.

    http://news.discovery.com/earth/japan-earthquake-time-sped-up-110314.html

    • Leila says:

      The same thing happened with the huge quake in Chile. It happens with every huge quake. But it only moves it forward less than a second.

      • Nick Barry says:

        At first I thought she must have seen something like that article, despite the fact that she wouldn’t be reading a website that has legitimate information on it, even one as “pedestrian” as Discovery News. As others have said, it seems impossible that anyone could go through his or her life in this country without exposure to daylight saving time.

  20. Prosopagnosia says:

    Does anyone else wonder what their family reunions are like?

  21. Charlie McDowell says:

    I agree, this is a cringing moment, but we love them, right? Right guys? <———trying to convince myself.

    • Moomintroll says:

      Cringing can be fun? … Right? … Ok, I’m struggling now.

    • Leila says:

      I’m beginning to feel for you even more, living under them. There have to be more moments than this that you hear every day. But then we get those gems like the flat tire and one of them saying that they’re not dumb. I’m sure those make the other days a little bit better.

      Do you ever just crack up laughing real loud when they say something and then hurry to stifle your laughter…? I know I would. Often.

      • Charlie McDowell says:

        Yes, Leila, all the time.

      • Leila says:

        Do you think they hear you? Or that they think you just randomly start and stop laughing? I wonder what they would say if they did notice…. “Claire! That bearded guy downstairs is still laughing! OMG… we have a crazy in the building! What do we do!?!”

    • Emily says:

      Right Charlie,(shaking head) you are SOOO right.

    • Cygnus says:

      I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I love them.

      However, I would keep a maternal eye on them at parties to ensure they were not lured away from the herd due to their vapidity, thrown in the trunk of a limo and sold into the international sex trade. That is a kind of affection, right?

    • Wally says:

      Charlie, love this site. Are the girls actually decent looking? They have to have something going for them; after reading your posts, brains are not doing it for them.

      I swear I heard brain cells committing suicide after reading the 3/14 post.

  22. Haley says:

    … I don’t know what to say to this…

  23. Jacky Faber: Midshipman, Fine Lady, and Lily of the West says:

    Oh my…well…yeah…I have nothing to say to this… X.x

  24. Lonely Girl says:

    Oh wow…God bless them…There are no words…

  25. Ashers says:

    This sickens me…

  26. Johanna says:

    How long did they live above you before you started this page?

  27. maria says:

    charlie its not nice to make fun of my sisters!

  28. Hale says:

    …There are no words to describe just how stupid this chick is. O______o

  29. Megan says:

    Charlie… I have to admit, sometimes I question the validity of these girls… That is to say , I occasionally have trouble believing such idiotic people could possibly exist… But I hope they do… They bring me so many smiles.

    • Charlie McDowell says:

      Trust me, I’m not smart enough to make this up.

      • Lexi says:

        Haha I love that.
        But you really would have to be very intelligent to make this stuff up.

      • blah says:

        You know, Charlie, the earthquake and by association the Tsunami did shift the Earth’s axis, thereby shortening the day, and altering time…

    • Tegan says:

      You hope they do? It worries me, knowing people like them are running around.

  30. Alessandra says:

    I lost an hour to study for Finals. *Sob*

  31. Christina says:

    These girls would believe anything!

  32. Maeve says:

    At least they know about the tsunami….
    That’s something, right?

  33. AmyD says:

    sadly, I believe these girls are in the majority these days

  34. Rob says:

    Charlie,
    I just stumbled your site. Read through the entire archive – even found some of Alicia’s and Cygnus’ poetry.

    I feel so sorry for you. I have been lucky enough to not have such extensive interaction with poster-children for retroactive abortions. I don’t think I could have ever turned it around into something comical like you have. My hats off to you.

  35. Boo says:

    Unfortunately, she’s half right. Time moved forward about 1.36 megaseconds ahead because of the tsunami.

  36. Lala says:

    I’d hate to align myself with the stupidity of the girls but correct me if I am wrong here,

    Not all states do Daylights savings right?

    Because I remember trying to explain it to my friend from a different state and she was just so confused that in California we change our clocks twice a year.

  37. Ashley says:

    first-time commenter, long-time reader. just wanted to say this post makes up for the lack of one on my birthday! you are amazing charlie!

  38. Sarahlee says:

    First-time commenter , been reading since the beginning…
    I couldn’t take it anymore. How could anyone be this stupid?
    They teach us about daylight savings in 2nd grade(or at least here in Canada they do). Did they grow up Amish with no clocks?
    P.S. Charlie you’ve made my very boring maternity bed rest 10,000 times better . thank-you :)

  39. Holly says:

    I have, on multiple occasions, questioned what is happening to our world. This is the one moment I believe I am correct in asking it

  40. Elizabeth says:

    Wow. Just… wow.
    Pessimism: Nobody can be that ignorant. How do they not know about daylight savings?
    Optimism: At least they know about the tsunami?

  41. Alicia says:

    There’s so many times where I feel like calling one of you guys or texting you…and then I’m like, “Oh…wait…” and I get all disappointed.

    • KimeeFace says:

      Sometimes I’d like to talk to a lot of the fellow commenters on here as well, but I learned the hard way not to give my number to people on the interwebs….odd things happen.

    • Lola says:

      I just want to know what everyone looks like! Okay that sounds creepy…but you know what I mean. I definitely have a mental image of some of you that is most likely completely inaccurate.

    • angel says:

      That’s what Ping Chat is for! Lol. just exchange nicknames, not even your phone nos.

      • Alicia says:

        I would never give my phone number out online, trust me. But, for instance, a few hours ago I was eating Nutella and I remember Jake talked about Nutella a while back and I thought, “Haha I have to tell Jake I’m eating some.” and I automatically picked up my phone…and then sighed.

      • Jake says:

        Haha that’s awesome, Alicia! Well, not the depression side of it, the nutella thing.

        I chalk it up to the odd friendliness of the comment section. I think we are one of the few online communities who genuinely welcome someone new as opposed to ripping them to shreds like other places. Because of that, we get close, even though we’re separated by computer screens.

        But yeah, if only we could have profile pictures. It would be kinda nice to put names with faces.

      • Elin says:

        Kimmeface figred out how to change her snowflake into a pic

      • Liz says:

        Yeah, I like you people. So much friendlier than most comment sections. Plus I love that Charlie comments, too. :)

      • ally says:

        we can get profile pics at gravatar.com

  42. KimeeFace says:

    Gahh, what is wrong with these girls? They make me want to punch something because of their stupidity.

  43. Theresa says:

    Well, I have Alicia to talk to whenever I want. :) Be Jealous.

    Anyways, I havn’t visited this blog in about 2 weeks and I’ve missed you all dearly!!!!

    • Alicia says:

      Theresa, you shouldn’t even be allowed to come on this site due to the stupid comments you make on a daily basis…but I still love you, if it means anything.

    • Elin says:

      Be that way! make us jelouse! meany butt ;)

  44. Cygnus says:

    “Psssst, Hey GAM, I heard that there was this one dude ur age on a surfboard when the Tsunami hit and he had to ride the wave all the way to shore and when they found him he was like 72 years old….”

    That should keep our beaches free of GAM this summer!

  45. Melody says:

    How in the name of God are they supporting themselves? Are they just leeching off their parents, or do they have legitimate jobs? If they do, how in the world did they get hired? So many questions…..

  46. Deirdre says:

    Hey, remember last week when I said that I was scared because the GAM and I were becoming very similar? Crisis averted. I think we’re on whole different levels now. I wonder what the GAM think of the supposed zombie apocalypse…

    • Jake says:

      *Crack knuckles in prep for another GAM Fan Fiction*

      Dear Girls Above Me,
      “What’s your plan for the Zumba Apocalypse?” We all know the living dead can’t Zumba, haven’t you seen “Thriller?”

  47. GoodKitty says:

    Actually…………

    According to CNN.com, the one plate of the earth slid underneath the other one by like eight feet or so? Thus shrinking the circumference of the earth a tiny tiny bit, thus making it rotate just a smidgen faster, thus shortening the days by like a millionth of a second.

    But, uh, no, that doesn’t really count as moving time ahead. That would be the, ahem, time change.

    Sorry. I had to be a smarty-pants.

  48. Brian says:

    I call Bullshit. Nice joke though.

  49. trolololo says:

    thats just sad.

  50. Theresa says:

    Whatever happened to ‘Sam [=’ I miss her…

  51. pb says:

    for me, this one goes beyond being just laughably dumb to insultingly dumb.

  52. Liza. says:

    god bless you charlie, this makes me feel clever.
    i wanna move in.

  53. Annalise says:

    What a hilarious post for my birthday! :)

    • Theresa says:

      A very splendid birthday to you! :D woop woop! Now we have an excuse to break out the sunchips! Hoorah!

  54. Tori says:

    …these girls make me feel really smart ._.

  55. Elin says:

    ah I didnt check the site for like 5 days . I missed yall

  56. Eden says:

    Charlie, what do you think they did with your haylie duff pillow? judging by how many guys they sleep with, I wouldnt want to know o.0

  57. DoraTonks10 says:

    People in my business class must think I’m crazy for just randomly laughing. They just don’t know that this website exists and is my amusement.

  58. Spooxi says:

    One word: DERP!

  59. Molly says:

    Actually, the earthquake did make Earth move faster. The girls are right this time. :P

  60. GAM Defender says:

    Maybe they’re trying to be cultured.

    “Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, most of the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona (not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which _does_ observe). Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its large size and location in three states.”

    • GAM Defender says:

      Also, “A new analysis of the 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Japan has found that the intense temblor has accelerated Earth’s spin, shortening the length of the 24-hour day by 1.8 microseconds, according to geophysicist Richard Gross at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.”

      • DearGuyBelowThem says:

        Seriously, just ’cause these girls choose to get their news from NASA.com does not give you the right to don your smug condescension hat.

    • jake says:

      As a resident of the state of INDIANA, I would like to point out that I had to get my backside up an hour earlier because my governor decided ALL of INDIANA should follow daylight savings time.

  61. Lexi says:

    Wait, what do they do for a living (would they be able to hold a job?), or are they in college (I highly doubt anywhere would accept them)?

  62. Alex says:

    In their defense, the earthquakes did shorten the day 1.8 millionths of a second though it is probable that they were talking of Daylight Savings Day…

  63. Alex says:

    didn’t see GAM Defender’s post..haha.

  64. Lydia says:

    NO. NO. *smacks GAM* THINKING ABOUT THE TSUNAMI IN THIS LIGHT IS WRONG. STUPID LITTLE *starts cursing*…

    This is a new low, even for them.

  65. Lulu says:

    Actually! As much as I love your blog, you may find this to be interesting: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2011/03/japan-earthquake-shifted-earth-axis-shorter-day-nasa/1 So although your neighbors are wrong about the change in time, their theory isn’t completely ridiculous (although, it was the earthquake that changed the rotation of Earth, not the tsunami). I just thought this was neat!

  66. Rebekah says:

    …on the upside, at least they’re watching the news… ok, maybe seeing the news tweeted…

  67. Rayne says:

    I wonder how hard they were dropped as babies sometimes ._.

  68. Alicia says:

    The girls thought the time change was from the tsunami,
    But they couldn’t have guessed any more wrongly.
    The time change happens two times every year,
    So what did they think it was before the disaster appeared?
    My heart goes out to the people of Japan,
    I encourage everyone to do anything you can.
    Even the smallest deed can impact someone’s life,
    So open up your hearts to help another’s greif and strife.

  69. Aerosmith discography…

    […]while the sites we link to below are completely unrelated to ours, we think they are worth a read, so have a look[…]…

  70. Marie says:

    I’m not saying this to be mean, but the earthquake did shorten the day by 1.8 microseconds. Isn’t there a chance that they were talking about that, and just happen to mix up the earthquake and the tsunami?

  71. punto says:

    http://www.space.com/11115-japan-earthquake-shortened-earth-days.html

    Of course I realize that wasn’t the point,
    but,
    the more you know… :)

  72. bandgeek:) says:

    First, I would just like to say hi everyone! :) this is my first time commenting. The stupid stuff that constantly comes out of these girls’ mouth astounds me. I would also like to point out that every one here is so nice to new people unlike other sites. On a side note that is completely irrelevant, my little brother just shoved his face into some peanut butter….
