I need to place to fuse my frustration on people with stupid believes. Recently I have been extremely annoyed on people who are rubbing and rotating these incredibly annoying things in their hands called Wenwan nuts. I noticed them first time in a bad hangover on a long train trip. Person sitting next to me was rotating the nuts and it took me a while before I realized what was making a very annoying sound next to me. There was a guy in a very good posture rubbing and rotating the nuts in a frenzy. The guy looked extremely uptight and not easy going at all. He was rubbing the balls hours on end in the train driving me absolutely crazy.
I had lived in China for almost a year before I noticed the nuts and boy do I wish I never noticed those bastards. Now I get irritated every time I see someone rubbing the nuts (Chinese rosary beads are equally annoying). People believe that rubbing the nuts exercises their brain and prevents them from aging, saves them from many diseases and presses their acupuncture points. I guess the irrational believe behind the nuts is the one that drives me most crazy. I think if the was a valid proven benefits for your health, I would not mind the nuts. How can you make yourself believe that rubbing some nuts will make you healthier. The people rubbing the nuts are generally as healthy or sick as people without the nuts. There is no benefits on them, the whole acupuncture idea is total BS, there are no acupuncture points in our bodies. The whole theory behind that is BS pseudoscience and has only placebo effect. Well I guess there is no harm either on rubbing the Wenwans and I could just ignore people doing it, but that is my problem and I cannot ignore when I see a person with two Wenwans in his/her hand. I really would like to discuss the issue with someone using the nuts and hear his/her arguments justifications on using them. But I guess a person who has rationally thought about Wenwan nuts is not rubbing them.
