Things That Should Exist is a column by James Trickey. Things suggested are not always good ideas.
Firstly, shut up. This idea may sound stupid but I can completely reassure you that it is in fact 100% pointless, unneeded, antisocial and probably stupid, but, since I said it first, you can take that and shove it somewhere where I’m not looking.
Secondly, this idea may or may not already exist but I don’t care.
And thirdly, here are some fire extinguishers for your own sick amusement.
Onto the subject for today which is, as you might have guessed, an incredible device that allows you to instantly insult your best friends at merely the touch of a button. I know – awesome. As I’ve clearly stated in the paragraph beginning with ‘secondly’, this may already exist. but this is my own take and what I want my Instasult machine to do.
I’m certain you have (so certain you wouldn’t believe, in fact) that you have accidentally got yourself into an argument that you just can’t be bothered to fight for anymore. This is where the magic happens. Because you’re so damn bored of this person, you can whip out this small (or large) box/tortoise-shaped robot and, at the press of a button, have his mum called fat for some reason.
BAYM!! He feels sad and depressed and you’ve got that smug grin on your face because after the insult the whole crowd went “OOOooooo….R U GONNA TAKE THAT FAM?!?!” and in the end he cannot come up with anything to beat it. These insults would be downloaded at your own pleasure and I’m thinking that an app would be able to send new insult to the machine via your mobile device or such like.
Also, think of the advertising potential. I won’t go into detail, but you can imagine some happy clappy man presenting a machine that AUTOMATICALLY INSULTS YOUR FRIENDS. Sorry for the caps lock, but I just wanted my point to get across one last time.
And, once again, I bid you farewell for another week as I leave to go and do something better, more constructive and that might actually give me some sort of pleasure in my life.
Insert sound from typical comic book here.

Brilliant! I can just imagine what battles I could be winning with one of these in English!
Happy now Tricky? I have now actually read your post.
His name is Trickey. And he wanted you to like the post as well.
Well, I did like it.
Then tell him so.
Meh he takes geography I think.
And that is relevant how?
I couldn’t tell him that I liked it due to the fact that I take history, so therefore I was in a totally different department to him. I was unable to tell him that i liked it as it was impossible to contact him at the time.
That’s what comments are for.
which is why i said that i liked it, it was like my third comment. so you are invalid

[…] know it sounds incredibly similar to the Instant Insult Machine and I can tell you now that it is indeed. I have my reasons for this, the first being that I have […]
