“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 can’t stand it when people “borrow” stuff from your desk and then leave it either not on your desk or in a different place on your desk.
People that smoke around kids.
I honked at a guy in traffic for driving like an Ahole, when I got up beside him at a light he told me to be quite his kid is sleeping, while he’s smoking a cigarette.
People who chew with their mouths open. I don’t want to see or hear what’s in your mouth. Use the lips that nature provided to seal your trap.
I HATE when people DON’T wash their hands after using the restroom. Ugh!

I hate when people ask very dumb questions….. 🙂
Excessively loud fake laughter
People who breath through their mouths.
People who leave shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot. Walk it to a cart return spot fat ass!
Dainty sneezes. We know better, you want to have a whopper of a sneeze but you think it’d be uncharacteristic. Give in! Also, it’s less noticeable.

Lacking or avoiding personal responsibility
when people necessarily demonize those in opposing affiliations.

Ask me to repeat myself.

when people ask you to do things that they can do it themselves! but bcoz they are being lazy or taking advantage of u…. hate it!!!
I can’t stand when people plagiarize. It’s absolutely cruel to the original author. My work has been plagiarized before:
When I was about 14 or 15, I wrote a very short poem about a girl and posted it on a poetry website. When I was 17, I started dating a different girl, and she was able to recite the entire poem to me, word for word. I was shocked! How did she know that poem? (She didn’t know it was mine nor that I knew it.) She said that her ex-boyfriend told it to her, and it was “their” poem. My heart dropped to my shoes!
I can’t stand when people continue to say “UBS” (USB) or “Rooter” (Router) after being corrected.
When they buy a new PC rather than a Mac
Pick their nose.
Complain on blog comments.
I can’t stand when people use their d*mn Nextel walkie talkie phones in public, with it going full blast, and they’re yelling back at the phone ’cause it’s so loud! I normally start responding to the phone when I encounter this in public…
