Just taking a brief moment to wonder why your normal, every day hair dryer makes so much damn noise!

In this age of technological wizardry, we have been given a plethora of amazing inventions and innovations.

Handheld gadgets that can access information literally from the other side of the planet!
Fans that have no blades!
Lamps that switch on and off when you wave your hand over them, or even when you clap your hands!
Robots that can be programmed to build incredibly complex machines …

And of course, the melon baller!

So why is it that we can’t make a single hair dryer that doesn’t make enough noise to drown out the entire London Symphony Orchestra? It’s just a heating element and a fan for fuck’s sake! I don’t even know how the parts involved can possibly make as much noise as they do!

It’s another of those great unsolved mysteries of the universe! … Right along with how so many men manage to resist the urge to cut the plugs off their spouse’s dryer after having the thing blasting out at them at 7am every day of their fucking lives.

It’s hard to believe that they’re loud simply because they’re made from the cheapest parts possible. I’ve seen the prices of these evil machines. Unless they’re making a 100,000% profit on every sale, there is DEFINITELY scope for improvement! Or maybe the people in the hair dryer industry are in the middle of some fiendish plot to deafen every woman alive as they hold these things to their head for 20 minutes every morning.

Either way, surely something has to be done! Before we are all driven insane!
