DND

My Uniden phone has a Do Not Disturb button. When I press it, it makes a loud beep and then goes into DND mode. While in DND mode, pressing the button silently takes it out of DND mode. Yeah, I don’t get it either.

Below is a list of search engines along the first 5 results of searching for the phrase, “search engine”. The number […]

How can you screw up a bubble?

I bought two bottles of bubbles. You know, you dip in the wand, blow and bubbles float around gently? Well, the bubbles I bought do no such thing.

The “Revolutionary” GoateeSaver

http://goateesaver.com/ This is one of the dumber inventions I’ve seen in a while. Their slogan? “Real men wear goatees.” In reality, what they should be telling you is that “Real men know how to shave their goatees.” The only way I’d call this thing “revolutionary” is if it was invented between 1775 and 1783.

Anti-bacterial cleaners

While food labels have been standardized to make it easier to obtain nutritional information, I find them to be extremely deceptive and misleading, even if you are trying […]

Sprint’s unimpressive offer

The phone rang and I answered by saying, “Hello.” Then again, “Hello… hello??” Finally, the silence that greeted me was interrupted by a Sprint salesperson. “Hi, I’m calling from Sprint. Don’t worry, this call is not using up any of your minutes and is completely free. We have reviewed your account and would like to […]
