“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!
Pessimism…
Whenever somebody says something negative about me.
I HATE it when that happens.
Block me while I am moving, on foot, in a car, whatever.
ask too many questions
ask me to join myspace
I hate tge sound of swallowing it really bugs me.
Can’t stand it when people preach a general point of view and then start claiming there are exceptions.
If there were exceptions, why did you subscribe to a generalism in the first place?
i cant stand it when people cough in public without covering their mouth. just disgusting.
I hate when people sit in their cars in traffic jams and pick things from their noses 🙁
try to talk to me as if i were stupid
I can’t stand children.
Working retail has killed any maternal instinct, or desire I might have to breed. I once had an awesome dream where I apparently had a kid with Jodie Foster. I woke up from that thinking ‘damn, having a kid may not be that bad’. Then I went to work, heard some kid screaming in the mall, and that killed it again.
I still love Jodie Foster though.
Anything outrageously obnoxious, really.
I can’t stand when you are walking behind a group of people that are walking really slow and you are trying to get somewhere on time! Especially when they are taking up the whole walking path or corridor inside a building.
How E! feels the need to combine celebrities’ names who are dating into one name, e.g., Brangelina.
Snore.
ask for a cig
State the obvious as if they are somehow imparting a great wisdom that only they knew.
I hate it when people look at me with their eyes. Oh, wait. I shouldn’t talk about that.
I hate it when people talk to you and they have no clue that you are busy.
when people HAVE to top your story no matter what!
when people think they’re better than someone else.
i hate it when people have their kids out late on a school night.
it’s like 1am and you’re at wal-mart with your 8 year old? seriously?
Not choosing me to win a prize in their contests.
I hate when people smack their food… Grrrrrr. God. Nails on a chalkboard.
I hate it when people try to read a paper on a jam packed subway. They act as if they have all the room in the world to do with what they please. Get that newspaper out of my face beyotch.
When my colleagues bring their crying infant to the office.
I hate people that talk about things they don’t know but are absolutely sure about their point of view and don’t accept any other opinions.
When people make a conversation just for the sake of it!
Being all fake on you!
not be smart?
Not choosing me to win a prize in their contests.
Constant cynicism.
I start to want to kill someone when they are unrealistically and completely fakely nice, upbeat, and enthusiastic. I have no problem with any of those characteristics, but I know a guy who puts on that act all the time, and I happen to know he is a complete asshole to his family most of the time. Cut the crap.
People that chew like a cow
Leave the plastic covering on electronics….
Smoke around other non-smoking people.
Stand at the “exit” of escalators thinking which way to go when the escalator is bringing more people right in back of them. Get out of the way!
people who change lanes, make turns without using their turn signal. can cause accidents… really bad…
I can’t stand when people don’t pick me to win contests!
when people start getting too paranoid around me
When people talk down to me. Hate it.
stupid car drivers *arghhh*
people who read over your shoulder
Opinionated people with no arguments.
Chewing with their mouth open
I can’t stand it when my boss gives me deadlines for worthless projects…
I can’t stand when people just SPIT on the sidewalk (or anywhere..), just to look cool.. I have NEVER understood why people think it’s cool to SPIT.. Argh!!
when they lie to me
Uses the word seen without a helping verb. Ugh.
Whilst walking, suddenly stop and make you hit them thus stoping you too
I can’t stand ppl, who have iPods and love them… but for no apparent reason hate the Mac… (w/o ever having actually used one… stupid fuc*s)
