@Dewshine: Well, if they order a HOT coffee and expect it to be cold. Like, I know you can get frozen hot chocolate in some places (which... sounds really good right now. o.o).
Also, there are some caution signs like, on the bottom of a TV dinner: "Do not turn upside down."
Or on a curling iron: "Do not insert into any orifice." (That one I've only heard of, not actually seen)

Jeff Foxworthy does "You might be a redneck," and Bill Engvall does "Here's your sign." XDD I have one CD of both of them... XD"

LOL I AM SO HAPPY SOMEONE FINALLY MADE SOMETHING LIKE THAT XD
Lol, I applaud the creator even more for keeping the battle neutral instead of choosing a winner -- it's always better that way for such "touchy" subjects.
XD Speaking of which, I'm going to enter a little PC vs Mac rant now:
Seriously... I don't get why people who love their Mac so much have to advertise to the world that it is so much better than the PC. Sure, I get that it is all simply market advertising and whatnot, but in reality Macs can never compare to a Windows or Linux operating machine. Macs excel in user-friendly-ness... but because of this, it is so very limited in what it can do and often falls short when it comes to high-end projects and activities (most especially graphic design, despite what people may tell you -- you can run photoshop and so many other graphic design programs on a PC that aren't even available on Mac... however, it seems people today are too STUPID to know how to DOWNLOAD or INSTALL programs which should be FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE to everyone who knows how to use a computer).
But of course, if you're one of the more computer illiterate and/or trying to learn how to use a computer... the Mac is a good set of training wheels. However, like all training material -- one must move away from them eventually... and well being too dependent on starter equipment will never get you anywhere far. *shrugs* That choice is left to the user.
Honestly though, in most businesses (especially engineering) people use PCs with Windows or Linux running on them. You will almost never see a Mac because of it's many limitations on handling programs that require lots of power, memory, RAM, and all that stuff [plus that stupid rainbow wheel pops up and its like wtf man I'm staring at a spinning rainbow... who even made that icon up?!?! Was it like one of their "art" people who said one day, "dude..... lets like put up a rainbow wheel for a loading symbol coz its like.... dude... when you're high... like you know when you're high right? like on crack and stuff... like you see all those colors on the screen spinning and stuff like that? yeah... we should totally do that, it's like the exact representation of the soul of the computer while you're waiting for it to load and give birth to the program mannnn.... woahhhh owahhhhh dude, your head... is like duuuuuuude"]
Seriously wtf. I don't know how many times I've made a Mac crash simply because I ran some huge video file on it... or even a fricking art piece that I made. So damn sad. And if it didn't crash it took damn ages before it could load that I decided to just say screw it and leave instead of staring at a damn circle spinning around with rainbow colors on it.
Now aside from the wait times and crap [oh god, don't get me started on the Mac's search engine... s**t, not even Windows is as bad as Mac when it comes to search engines]... theres another problem with Macs:
UPGRADING.
Unlike PCs where you can even make your own high-end computer from scratch... Macs are all factory made and once they're made... thats it. What you see is what you get -- or at least thats what they try to make you think with colors and other sensory manipulation techniques. So, while the PC user can complain about how slow their PC is going... they can always drive over to the nearest electronics store and buy some new parts for their PC so it runs faster. For the Mac user however... well the following steps should help:
1. Go to your nearest hardware store and buy a sledgehammer if you don't have one already
2. Go to the bank and withdraw as much cash as possible
3. Go to the Apple store and ask them you want an upgrade and they'll tell you what new version Mac you can buy for over $1000 or so.
4. Go home and use your new sledgehammer on your old Mac and make room for your new one.
5. Rinse and repeat as necessary -- the Mac you just bought will be obsolete the moment it arrives and you'll be whining all over again about how crappy its running.
Yep. Thats the surefire way for a Mac user to upgrade their Mac...
I've always wondered however... did it ever occur to them that there exists a tool called "The Screwdriver"??
Ah well.
Anyways, that ends my ranting -- or well, I just have to stop before I go on and on forever!
XD Yar.

eek I had no ideas that Macs were so bad! I have been a PC user forever. Now that I think about it, I can't think of any serious computer users who use Macs. confused I completely agree with you on the limitations of "user friendly" programs. THEY ARE JUNK! xp They keep computer savvy people from being able to do normal things. One such evil program is Microsoft Frontpage. You can't even edit the code and it is supposed to write HTML! mad

Lol... it annoys me how Windows attempt to put on the Mac outfit and user-friendly get up by making Windows Vista
Just plain horrible... I don't know how many things I had to alter in order to turn Vista into something I can actually work with. My Vista which I'm using right now is practically not even a Vista anymore... lol
No warnings and alerts and all those annoying restricting "safety" programs/protocols popping up anymore :]
