Post by: TightEnd on October 06, 2015, 12:40:36 PM
Perhaps i am just crotchety, but i ask the populace on here

What punishment should be handed out to people who don't turn their key pad tones off in public?

Shoot them.

Problem is, we have not developed an etiquette for these things, have we?

I hate the keypad tones, but do you know what I hate even more?

THOSE LITTLE BLUE FLASHING LIGHTS THAT THEY INSIST UPON PUTTING ON EVERYTHING!!!!!

Lights on the Sky box, (Extra lights when its recording).

I DONT WANT TO KNOW WHEN IT'S RECORDING. JUST FUCKING GET ON WITH IT.

Lights on the microwave and the telly to tell me that they are on.

I KNOW THEY ARE ON. I CAN SEE THEM FUCKING WORKING. THE MICROWAVE HAS A MEAL GOING ROUND INSIDE AND THE TELLY HAS A BIG OBLONG MOVING PICTURE!

Lights on everyone's laptop, flashing lights, even when the laptop is turned off.

IT'S TURNED OFF FOR FUCK'S SAKE, WHY ARE THERE LIGHTS ON IT?

I'm currently pootling around in a Peugeot 108 hire car. About an inch from the bottom of the windscreen, in the dead centre is a bright orange light telling me the passenger air bag is active. If you disable a near identical light in the same place warns you its off.

The manual specifically mentions that neither light can be deactivated.

I'm running out of appropriate epithets to shout at the designer.

Duct tape or WD40 fixes everything.

I have to disagree here. I like to have confirmation that something is recording.

Have a look at the planner. there is a big red banner that says RECORDING.

If you have to wait until the programme is actually recording and then find that it isn't, it's too late anyway.

NEXT!

Are you suggesting that Booder is normal and sensible? I will allow you to choose one of those two.

That's awkward.

Has to be "sensible". Nobody from his neck of the woods is normal.

 :hello: 

He is "Normal for Norfolk" I can assure you.

I think a good old Clockwork Orange reprogramming is required for all keypad tone users.

Red you are clearly wrong - I need my red recording light, so I can notice 20 minutes after the programme I thought I was recording has in fact been cancelled by the Mrs.  Can't look at the recording schedule because I am not allowed the remote control.
