“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 21
[Thank you, we have our winner, this contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader T Sampson]
On the Twenty-First Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A PED3 iPhone Stand from Thought Out Company.
Featuring 360Ëš rotation, two angled positions, elegant cable management, rubber tipped fingers, and a heavy, solid-steel “tip-proof” base, the PED3 is the ideal way to elevate your iPhone for video viewing, music listening, showing off for co-workers, or just for keeping it safe from desktop coffee spills. I’ve had mine sitting right next to me at the lab for over a year, and the tough baked-on coating looks as good as the day I first got it. This is a quality (and heavy) piece of engineering folks, and I hope no one overseas wins it, cause shipping will suck. Check out the full specs here along with a ton of beauty shots.
To enter: Since the PED3 is the coolest iPhone stand around, just leave us a comment telling us the one thing you CAN’T stand when other people do. We all know rude and annoying people (like Sean, my co-worker for example). So what is it that really annoys you about someone? Winner will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
repeat and explain everything again even when they’ve said it more than once before.
I just hate a fake whistle…you know, when a person isn’t really whistling, just blowing air out in a tune like way? Either whistle or shut the hell up! GRRR aggravating!
Tax Immunity from the IRS.
People who pick their noses and flick their boogies at others!
Food in your mouth? Don’t talk … and keep your mouth closed when you chew!
Drive real slow
ask me questions about things I just explained
when they let out a big breath right at you and dont even realize it
people who dance in public to their own music
I can’t stupid people who can not be convinced they are wrong.
Drivers who leave a 3 car length gap during a massive jam… juz encountered one today.. arghghhg
I am currently living in Japan and coming from the states manners are important to me.
I cannot stand when Japanese eat noodles(ramen) they ever so loudly slurp up their noodles like it was nothing. It is the most annoying sound you could ever imagine especially when trying to enjoy your meal.
I hate when people talk with food in their mouths. Yuck!
I hate constant complaining. Or insecurity. Both suck.
I can’t stand my boss
Pick their noses
Hate people showing attitude
When a driver speeds up to cut into your lane and then SLOWS DOWN. To make it worse, the cars from their previous lane start passing you by.
I cant’ stand when people make up lame excuses, and then can’t even deliver said excuse with the slightest bit of conviction… Might as well say “I realize how stupid you are, so… “.
When people repeat themselves. When people repeat themselves.
I hate it when you hear people say..”Well, I just hate such and such politician, that’s why I don’t vote.” Well, duh…solution here!
The human race is so replete with annoying habits it’s difficult to pick out just one. However, if push comes to shove then I guess I would choose any phone call made in public with a cell phone. If I wanted to hear someone’s banal banter with their mindless strumpet I’d plop down the penny the conversation would be worth and pull up a stool. Gdd Dmmn! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
pop gum or eat while on the telephone
Correct me.
Don’t they know that I’m right, 100% of the time, no mater what the facts are?
Go to the bathroom and don’t wash thair hands (and then try to give me a hand!)
I hate it when you’re in line somewhere and someone else comes along and they try to get in front of you like they are more important than you.
urinating infront of me
dig their nose/ear and touch me like nothing happened
When people speed up to jump in front of you on a busy road… only to slow down and turn.
Smoke or litter, hard to pick just one.
Smoking right outside a building so I have to breathe it when I walk past.
When people don’t know that “Yield” doesn’t mean “Stop Dead”, or people that cut in front of you and don’t give you that little thank you wave.
