worst invention ever? - Page 6

No, toothpicks come in wimpy little boxes that never stay closed. You have to put them into the neato plastic containers, thus the containers they come in suck royally.

And since we're in contianer territory, I'll put up extraneous packaging as a terrible or worst invention. Who decided that my new gadget has to come vacuum sealed in plastic in a box in styrofoam in plastic in a box that the store then asks if I want in another plastic bag?

They should just not package everything, and just burn a bit of crude oil in front of you, while you back away out of the store...quickly.

Well, I always was a bit of an advocate for promoting renewable energy by running out of fossil fuels as fast as possible...but how much would that little display cost me? I'm not paying more than $3.99 for it, and don't even try sales tax on something like that!

I have a new least-favorite invention. Wanna hear it?

The Windows Key.

Yeah, that's right. As most of us are aware, Microsoft came up with this idea a few years back where they forced every IBM-compatible computer manufacturer to stick an extraneous key directly between Ctrl and Alt that would automatically open the start menu for you. Because, as Microsoft figured out long ago, we're all a bunch of alzheimers patients that need all the help we can get surfing that there intarweb.

The ridiculousness of course, is that most people never use the Windows key. Mostly, it just sits there, waiting for gamers to accidentlly bump it while playing and being thrust out of the game and back into Windows just long enough for whatever was they were fighting to kill them. Good job, folks. You've annoyed me nearly to the point of violent outrage.

As if WoW wasn't annoying enough to begin with...

I find Win+E to be the most convenient means of open up the folder view in explorer.

That's about it, though.

Wait, so if that's what the windows key does, what does that other annoying button on the right side that shows a list with a little arrow do?

POS Industries · 03-03-2006, 12:09 AM

It opens up a slightly annoying drop menu for.... something.

It sucks, but not nearly on the level of the windows key...

Well I mean, just as a for instance, most people think you are a shitfucker.

A majority of which I am very emphatically a member.

And they'd be wrong. I mean, I'm into some pretty crazy stuff, but the whole scat thing just doesn't appeal to me. Not to mention it's terribly unsanitary. e. coli and all that...

...you know what? That's the worst invention ever, right there. Shitfucking. That is my word, and my word is law.

(Psst. I typically consider not falling into the catagory of "most people" to be a good thing. Bear that in mind.)

Now POS, we've covered this sort of thing before.
