Re: A fun topic up for discussion.
Well I'm left handed and would have struggled with that as like guitars, most screwdrivers are for right handed people.
I guess lots of us have had the IT department wonder why you haven't replied to their E Mail following you reporting by phone that your computer isn't working properly !!

I remember seeing an old railroad sign that said something along these lines:
"When two trains approach the station from opposite directions, neither shall proceed until the other has passed".
I believe they are both still sitting there.

And Brack, once you do get them open, the sticky tape leaves a terrible residue. Who designed that stuff? 
Hey Bill, you must be talking about mass transit in the Chicago area. Are they ever going to finish the freeway work?

Re: A fun topic up for discussion.
One annoying thing I can think of that happens to me a fair bit:
When I ever need help with sorting out the mac or the internet, the internet is usually not working.
I feel it's like being without a knowledgeable brain....and how I've come to rely on it as a fixing encyclopaedia to anything and everything!

Re: A fun topic up for discussion.
Kind of like when you're having "internet connection problems" and you have to go online to get help... ?what?
Or when you buy a Leatherman or utility tool that requires one to get it out of the box... I definitely identify with Joe's intro

Hey guys, is that like the same thing as if a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? Or does it have to do with something about a Bear doing something in the woods?

I bought a saw blade after the last Hurricane that came complete with the admonition not to attempt to grab or stop the moving blade with your hand.

Sort of like being 5 miles out in the boat with a cooler full of iced down beer and no bottle opener. Who the ^#@) owns a boat without a bottle opener on board?
