Toilet paper one is great.

The Facebook app and website is absolutely trash. It is amazing that one of the most successful companies on earth has such a unintuitive and uninspired ux. It is nearly impossible to search for anything successfully, it is difficult to read comments in context, it is easy to accidentally turn on the camera and not immediately clear how to get out of it, it is way harder than it should be to control notifications, and the design is ****ty looking. I mean they finally come up with new choices besides thumbs up and not only are they weak, they look like garbage. Even the stupid enhancements to allow the type of moron who likes to spruce up their idiotic posts with gradient color backgrounds and fonts look like they were ripped from three versions back of PowerPoint.

I guess it's like complaining about the quality and packaging of crack tho.

Lol, totally true.

I assume a lot of that stuff has to do with making things that work across the wide range of platforms used by 2 billion people.

I think that camera thing is on purpose because they're trying to compete with snapchat. They want you to accidentally click it, and make it hard to get back.

On a similar note - this x on the twitter iPhone app is the hardest damn thing in the world to click. Minimum 5x before I hit it right. And the fun thing is if you miss it just disappears until you touch the image again.

You have to share, I need a couple of really good 1st world problems for a meme.

One of them is that the safety announcement is blaringly loud, every time. Much louder than it should be or needs to be.

That should piss you off!

ETA:

I assume you told them they should only turn it down in 1st class?

I am a man of the people and often sit in an exit row. So I asked that they turn it down everywhere.

It's can be hard to figure out the dividing line. Too close and you're shutting it in their face. Too far and it's uncomfortable

Speaking of irritating math on labels, I got super irritated at this tautological serving size/servings per loaf label:

Also hot dogs that come 7 in a package when every pack of hot dog buns comes in a pack of 8.

I always assumed that was some plot on the part of the hot dog and bun companies to force you to buy multiple packages of each to have enough to go around.

Rice pudding at 7-11. Very tasty. 30 grams of carbs - not too bad. Oh, it's 2 servings.

Tell me who's eating this in 2 servings?



It literally has no lid.

So you can easily plan 56-person get-togethers.

Well if you're feeding 56 hot dogs seem like a reasonable option.

Harry Dean Stanton's sister? Damn, I didn't even know he had a sister. Must have been twins.

Obviously the correct answer when you are the door opener. When I'm the trailing person, I'll often slow down a step or two and avert eye contact so the person will be compelled to just exit normally.

The hot dog thing is to keep prices the same. Companies do this all the time, instead of raising prices they reduce amount. Haagen daaz does this, reduced ice cream to less than a pint to stay at same price point as Ben hand Jerry's

Never liked hot dogs much, but a young chopstick could absolutely obliterate a package of lil smokies
