If there was an ignore button that you could use in real life... meaning you hit the button and you don't hear or see a whole person, would you use it? If so, on whom would you press it?

That could easily be a very bad idea.
On my grumpy days, I might be tempted to press it for everyone.

Could you unpress the button?

My mom, please let there be such a device!!! PLEASE!!!

@Nimis: Sure you can unpress it. But you’re still affected by what that person does/says, and if you press it too many times on the same person, you can’t undo it.

good…...

Anyone who I felt natural selection should have claimed.

3 of my neighbors(including my husband’s ex in laws across the street), my husband’s ex wife, my mother in law, my brother in law, and my mother. I don’t believe I would ever unpress the device. In fact, I would super glue it in the ignore mode and bury it deep in a hidden jungle so it could never be accidentally released.

poof, that would be the perfect answer to the question i just asked a second ago!! you’re a genius!!!!

easiest question i’ve ever answered in my life: MY LYING, CHEATING, STUPID EX-BOYFRIEND that’s who i would use it on.

I would so love using a button on that fellow that SCREAMS the commercials for the cleaning solution. I don’t know his name or his product but he is obnoxious. I would like to slap him and tell him to shut the hell up…
(I truly am a non-violent person, but that guy…..)

The Oxiclean guy? Someone just mentioned his name in another thread…

I wish you could auto-mute commercials.
And reality TV. And Fox News.

I should probably just not turn on the TV, eh?

Yes poof! That is the guy! Makes my brain hurt!

ugh!

Nimis, I find myself now using DVR to watch TV. That way I fast forward through the commercials. I feel like I’m getting old and crotchety.

I have one (my brain), and have used it, on my mother. It has done wonders for my mental health.

Ugh… Billly Mays. He’s not only the Oxiclean guy, but he’s also the Orangeglo guy, the Hercules hook guy, the Kaboom guy, Awesome Auger guy, the Swamp Busters guy, the Ding King dent remover guy, and many many other useless products guy. I swear, I have to turn down the volume JUST for his commercials…. An ignore button would be AMAZING for him.

Oh, and my A&P teacher as well. She repeats every single word she says multiple times, as well as spelling it out as she does it. Example: “Everyone get your MICROSCOPES! MICROSCOPES! M-I-C M-I-C-R-O M-I-C-R-O-S-C-O-P-E-S MICROSCOPES! MICROSCOPES! M-I-C-R-O-S-C-O-P-E-S!! Everyone get your MICROSCOPES!!”
It drives me INSANE INSANE I-N-S I-N-S-A I-N-S-A-N-E INSANE!!!

@Sloane: That sounds absolutely the very reason why the word “horrid” was invented.

I would have had it held down for the last 8 years and if it could be pointed at one person that would obviously have to be Bush.

I would apply it to my human growth and learning teacher, that woman drives me out of my mind!

I would also apply it to every single person in that “apply directly to the forehead” commercial. Oh wait, I already do that.

I would like to ignore the twat that gave the me the evil eye when my Lincoln blasted her Porche. Sure, she didn’t see it coming but it was soooo unbecoming how she expressed her displeasure. I feel badly I didn’t have my ignore button. No. The Wauwatosa Police were not called.

Maybe this is a function of age, but I feel that I have such a button built into my head.
Using it is most enjoyable.

my spanish teacher!

YES!!!!! The shamwow guy
