pap Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 Because women are rubbish when it comes to technology. Ms pap is extremely inconsistent when it comes to technology, displaying great feats of dextrous prowess in some areas and complete and utter failure in others. For example, she has no problem building PCs and she was even good enough to chip my XBox. Most women do not have the know-how to do it. And yet, she cannot play any computer game which involves looking and moving at the same time ( so no modern FPSs ) and turns white with fear at the prospect of plugging a console into a TV. The wiring on the surround sound system is the stuff of nightmares for her. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecuk268 Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 On a domestic appliance theme, I've just bought a 2-slice toaster where you can turn off 1 side if you're only doing 1 slice, hence saving 50% electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 I once had a cleaning lady who ironed a work blouse. Unfortunately she used my ski waxing iron she found in a cupboard. Fortunately she realised something was wrong from the smell and only did the one item... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 2 May, 2012 Share Posted 2 May, 2012 No word of a lie. I FOUND one of those super irons that FIRE steam out. Cleaned up like new. I ****ing love it. Dry cleaned my interview suit yesterday, got a new job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 3 May, 2012 Share Posted 3 May, 2012 Why don't irons have on/off switches? Damn good question. IMO it is a safety issue, to ensure that people do actually unplug them, rather than just rely on a switch and leave them plugged in. Switches can go wrong. Having an older brother who is an electrical engineer, I have been indocrinated into switching off at the plug just about every electrical device, rather than just switch off -- kettles, TVs, toasters, dishwasher ... etc.. especially anything that generates heat.
