Five Things I Hate, a series

I bring what I hope will be a weekly feature, collected items from my vault of disdain.

1. No iPhone on Verizon.
The rest of the world recognizes “teh suckage” that is AT&T.  Why can’t Apple?

2. Microsoft.
When everyone else in the world is criticizing your crappy products, it’s time to stop thinking that it’s everyone else who has the problem.

3. Contaminated fruits/vegetables/peanuts.
Dear Tomato Growers,
I love your product. Please stop dragging them through horse manure.
Thank you.
Regards,
Erik.

4. Jack-in-the-Box Restaurants who don’t sell 3 tacos for $1.
The rest of you need to stop the madness and get with the program.  This ulcer won’t rip itself open.

5. Under-documented aspects of .NET
You know who you are.

Icon shmicon

So some idiot steals an icon he sees on his favorite Dungeons & Dragons blog and I’m supposed to have enough faith in the rest of the company that produced this product to purchase it?

Ummm, no.  The RSS icon does not mean wireless people! Come on!

Copywriting 101

This has got to be the worst call to action for a product that I’ve seen so far.

“Unsilence yourself”? Have you heard anything so passive?  Why didn’t they just go with: “Discontinue your non-use of this product!”

Seriously.

A personal screen printer would be cool though.
