People that are going directly to Hell
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: -Memnoch-
Over time certain people have (in my mind anyway) have earned a trip on the express elevator to the barbeque at the end of the rainbow.
What I mean here is a one-way ticket down, No talking with God or chance for explanations. They are toast forever. To smolder in Hell for their deeds in this life.
Today’s entry –
The person who designed the clear adhesive tape that seals CD cases.
You know, that sticky chunk of tape on top of the CD that you must remove in order to get the CD out of the case.
Sorry, No explanation will sway the Judgment.
This guy is frying forever.

I'll toast to that!
(please don't hate me for that awful joke)
Posted by: redwench
yes, that person is just pure evil. there is no excuse.
Posted by: Tecil
Agreed, and now they stick the same stuff on DVDs. Drives me nuts. Yeah its for security, but come on, do you have to stick it on 3 sides?

Well, at least the guy that decided to use those "huge boxes" to package games has seen the "light" and has started using boxes that make "sense"!  So ..... there is hope left for the world ..... yet! 
Posted by: Null Actor
Actually, it was walmart saying "Make smaller boxes or we won't sell games anymore" that caused small boxes to be used.

Well ........... *Amen* to Wal-mart! 
Posted by: Gunslinger
Bleh. Wal-Mart sucks. Target is where it's at. Those new Super Targets ownerize Wall-Mart hardcore. Asstastic, at the least.
Next Entry for the barbeque at the end of the rainbow:
The local army recruiter who calls me (or my house) every other week or so, "just wanting to chat and see how things are going."
I wonder when he's going to realize that
1. I don't want to join the army
2. Me is not gonna flunked outta no collage!
Next!
Posted by: redwench
1. tell him you arent going to join
2. tell him not to call you again
Posted by: Gunslinger
I'm not going to tell him to stop calling. He's nice. Polite in every way. I'm not going to turn around and sound like an ass.
Posted by: EOT(US)
Next? Did you say next?
How about those jerks that take the "demo" CD's out of Game Magazines on the news stands? If they can afford a computer .... they can afford to buy the dang magazine! 
Ok, ok, ok .... I know! Subscribe to the magazine and you will not have that problem, right?
Posted by: Swilo
Just politely tell him that you do not have any current plans of joining the service since you are a full time student.
They should understand just fine and know you're not trying to be rude.

The people who are for "QWERTY" style keyboards layouts.
Posted by: Tecil
I have a Dvorak keyboard around here somewhere. Once you get used to it, your words per minute go way up.
Posted by: Kdr Kane
I considered learning on a Dvorak keyboard. But, I figured my frustration level would skyrocket because I go from computer to computer at times.
Posted by: Tecil
Yeah it took me a few days. Once you get used to it you can switch back and forth. I haven't used it in a long time, so I'd probably have to learn all over again.
Posted by: Swilo
What's a dvorak?
Posted by: Tecil
Here is some info on what it is.
Here is what the keyboard layout looks like.
Posted by: Swilo
Yeah, I looked about 5 minutes after I read the post, and saw it was a new keyboard layout.
I found a website with free tutorials on learning it, and there's so many things you can type on the home row alone.
I should put some effor into learning.
Posted by: Tecil
Yeah like I said once you learn it, your WPM sky rockets. I type around 50/min now on QWERTY. Back when I was using Dvorak I was easily doing 70+
Posted by: EOT(US)
Mind if I ask what the object of it is?
Posted by: Tecil
QWERTY was designed in the 1800s to keep typewritters from jamming. In 1936 a guy buy the name of Dvorak designed a keyboard to maximize efficiency (by placing common letters on the home row), and make the stronger fingers of the hands do most of the work.
It basically enables you to type faster, more comfortable, and more accurate.
Posted by: Tecil
Another person that needs to burn is the guy or gal that invented molded plastic packaging. You know when you buy something and its stuck in between two pieces of plastic. Short of getting a chainsaw, just to open it up.
Posted by: EOT(US)
Thanks Tecil .... I had never heard of "QWERTY" or "dvorak" before today .... guess I should have looked on the link, to see if it was explained, and not just look at the layout of the keyboard.

People that "have" to use a computerized cash-register to make change! When the total bill comes to $17.39 and you hand them a $20.00 bill .... and they can not figure out what change to give you .... without the help of the "computer"
Posted by: Swilo
People who don't realize that artificially flavoured vanilla ice cream tastes like clay.
The american slop who decided to remove
"unnecessary" 'U's from words.
Posted by: redwench
if you dont type properly, dvorak is much faster and easier. but if you touch type, it would be a nightmare.
Posted by: 9:35
ahem,
1. the creaters of toys 'r us, u-haul, and nickelodian for creating and publicising the use of 'shortcut' words, like u for you, r for are, 4 for for, and so on. abreviations are fine, but these wannbe cute things are annoying.
2. spyware creators and people who distribute them in programs without an obvious notice to unsuspecting people.
3. the white boy gangster wannabes and white rappers. theres just no excuse.
4. uh... oh, and any one in a religion thats not christian, if christianity proves to be correct (doubtful). obvious!

I have a story about that kind of thing.
I got an iced tea from this vendor in a mall (Cinnezao or something, for anyone that's interested. It's in West Edmonton Mall, near the boat). It came to 1.82$. I gave the guy a two dollar coin. The register didn't tell him how much change to give. He sat there, looking flabbergasted and lost.
I thought he was joking or something. So I give him a nice incredulous look, and say "It's 18 cents change.".
At that point, instead of just giving me my change (which I really did care about at this point), he asks his coworker how much change to give. Which she tells him. 18 cents.
At which point he says to me: "Wow, you're pretty smart. You must have taken university or something".

A few years ago, there was a website that accepted those CD Stickers as Points towards items on the site. All you had to pay was shipping. And it was good stuff too, like Good CD Players, MiniDisc Recorders, Personal CD Recorders and lots of other great stuff.
I remeber I used to save those things like crazy, get them from friends and family. Then one day I went to go and see what I could get for 842 points, and the website was gone

Whoever came up with the phrase "some assembly required"
If i see that on anything I run screaming away from it.
Posted by: Swilo
I LIKE assembly, it's fun.
Ask red, I built her desk.
Posted by: redwench

oh, more hell bound people: manufacturers that put child-proof caps on EVERYTHING. no children have access to my house, i have no need of child-proof caps. put out a container that doesnt require coordination and strenth to open.
