For me it's calculating. Too many people put math into their search engines and not their calculator.

I can't shout loud enough for people 900 miles away to hear me

Not sure about 900 miles, but you can avoid shouting by.. learning sign language and lip reading and get a telescope.
learning morse code so you can use blinking light. learning smoke signalling.
Get a pigeon or 2.

I only buy my plane tickets at the airport on the day of travel with handfuls of cash pulled from a carrier bag while wearing a blood-stained shirt. I punctuate that start of every sentence by slamming my first on the desk and the end of the sentence with "goddamnit".

Why would you think that?

SLAM "If I do upgrade to Business, will I be able to recline my seat without interrupting the person behind's meal?" SLAM "And is The Grand Budapest Hotel still available onboard or do I need to download it first, goddamnit?"
