“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!
I hate when people act like people.
People lecturing me on the things they know nothing about.
I can’t stand other people’s impatience -.-
I hate it when someone asks too many questions.
Can’t stand when people walk around all day with a blinking Bluetooth headset in their ear.
People that do not use turn signals before starting to turn or change lanes.
I cannot stand when other people butts into a conversation you are having with someone else.
USE ALL CAPS FOR EVERYTHING THEY TYPE
when other people win the prizes i want
Smoking – when people smoke around people who are trying to eat; when people smoke right inside the awning at work (and they’re supposed to be out from the door at least 20 ft) so when you expect to open the door and great some fresh air you smell ash; smoke breaks; second hand smoke; …basically anything and everything to do with smoking.
People who stays on the left, on the road.
When people enter silly contests and never win….
When people talk down about other people.
smoking!
People who don’t flush the freaking urinals/toilets or wash their hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Snobbery and rudeness… they usually go hand in hand.
That looks totally cool!!!!
I cannot stand it when you are trying to get into the left turn lane, and you just can’t get past the cars going straight, but just ahead you can see spaces where the cars have not pulled up to the car in front of them. If they just pulled forward you could make the left turn arrow.
I can’t stand it when people fart in elevators then try to brush it off as if it wasn’t them. Come on, own it!
Smoking!!!!
Need something explained more than once.
When someone goes on my mac without asking. Drives me insane,
Smoking!!!
people who go on and on about how good they are at something while clearly not doing well at it
tap or click things repetitively
People who can’t make decisions.
Other people cussing in front of my kids
I am a big fan of the Thought Out Company, especial their support of the Dawn and Drew show.
what i hate most is when someone tells me something and has no proof to back it up.
People who talk on their cellphones while in the bathroom.
Ask the same question over and over even though you have already explained it 5000 times.
People who complain about other people
Ask the same questions over and over and over again and never, seemingly learn, from the answers they are given! This applies to at least 1/3 of the programming staff I work with.

use the word retarded as a colloquialism.
Wear their hat at some asinine angle… I mean honestly, have you looked in a mirror? You look like a retard!

NOT look behind them and holding the door open for the next person… very rude.
