Website Features to avoid

Just read an interesting article on Mashable about a questionaire they did about annoying website features. I must admit many of them are all too familiar on a lot of sites one visits. I would however add one additional annoyance and that would be sites that do not support all of the common browsers - Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari and Opera. No doubt you have your own particular pet hate as well.

Trouble Shooting Flow Chart

In a similar vein to our last Humorous post I also recall the proverbial Trouble Shooting Flow chart, a couple of which I show suitably bowlerized below.

This diagram and others that are similar are said to have circulated on the internet before it was the known as the ‘internet’ but is nonetheless certainly a distant iteration of the original.

Rush Job Calendar

Sometimes the ‘old’ jokes are the best and we were reminded of this the other day when we were asked if we could add some new features to one of our extensions.

There are a few variations of this around but they all basically ‘resolve’ the same problem.

Mirday Friday Friday Friday Thursday Wednesday Tuesday
8 7 6 5 4 3 2
16 14 13 12 11 10 9
23 22 21 20 19 18 17
32 29 28 27 26 25 24
39 38 37 36 35 34 33

 

  1. This is a special calendar for handling rush jobs. All rush jobs are wanted yesterday. With this calendar a job can be ordered on the 7th and delivered on the 3rd.
  2. Most jobs are required by Friday, so there are three Fridays in every week.
  3. There are eight new days added to each month to allow for end-of-the-month panic jobs.
  4. There is no 1st of the month – thus avoiding late delivery of the previous month’s last-minute panic jobs.
  5. Monday morning hangovers are abolished together with non-productive Saturdays and Sundays.
  6. With no 15th, 30th or 31st, no 'time-off" is necessary for cashing salary cheques or paying bills.
  7. A new day – Mirday’ (sometimes called Negotiation Day) – has been introduced keeping the other days free for uninterrupted panic and for making excuses.
