Repost: “How to possibly qualify for a Nobel Pissed Prize (where the losers are winners)” by Gang Badoy
For a person to qualify for the Nobel Pissed Prize, he or she must:
1. Be annoying at least 65 percent of the time.
2. Be considered “bad news” by seven out of 10 people he/she encounters
3. At least have a (minimum) 10-year track record of bad behavior.
4. Be relevant enough to get in the way of a lot of good stuff.
5. Have no sense of proportion when it comes to self-worth.
Now, for a situation to win a Nobel Pissed Prize, it must:
1. Have an enduring effect on the people involved.
2. The situation will be so spectacularly wrong, the name of the “offended party” will actually become a verb.
3. When it involves cruelty to animals or people that one really should be protecting.
4. When it involves undeserved authority over you.
5. When it involves the misuse of (any) religion.
