SH*t that sucks - a comprehensive list
|
01-11-2008, 03:11 PM
Uhm, relevance?
I got a bunch of advice, which had scattered experiences from everybody. I'm posting the story about my laptop up for the sake of validating, or invalidating the advice given. It's a consumer anecdote, if you will. I'm not just posting "this shit broke, it sucks." And THAT is exactly what this thread is serving to do. It's an excuse to wallow in self-pity. In relevance to my laptop, I don't care if anybody feels sorry for me at all - it would be nice if somebody read it and thought "gee, I think I won't buy a tablet PC like I had planned." To make my point further, I never said that I was above any of this. I'm rather sure I posted in here once or twice. I still think it's stupid, and has been taken to extremes. I never discluded myself from my original criticism, nor would I attempt to. Never the less, my original opinion stands.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

...because I didn't want you to melt into a quivering mess of british kebab crap. I chose to leave you the option of explaining away how someone with no prior experience did so well when you're clearly inferior.

139) Sanding drywall compound all day in the garage. I mean seriously, these asshats must've been real jerks. RJ could've put it on smoother than whoever did the jointing in my garage

was your garage fully finished? Most builders who actually drywall their garages usually only hang and tape them... Maybe block if you are lucky. So that would mean that it hasn't been sanded yet
 usually you have to pay extra to get the drywall finished off and painted.

they put the tape on, and didn't put a thin layer over the tape to catch the edges -so I am smoothing whats there now, before i put on my own thin coat, and sand again. Otherwise you'd be able to see the edges of the tape...lame

yea man, that's not poor worksmanship thats just how they are done. The tape helps fireproof the house in case a fire starts in the garage.
