Gigaware® Wired Optical Mouse Review

by admin ·

3 stars

taterchipz from Nebraska on Oct.182011

Mouse worked right off on Win7 32bit. Comes with a PS/2 adapter and I do use that since USB doesn’t always work in some DOS programs. I find that for some unexplainable reason it just doesn’t feel comfortable, like maybe mouse is too narrow and hand seems too closed or cramped up. But what I find even more irritating, as other user mentioned before, the illuminated scroll wheel. Being illuminated is fine but does it HAVE to get bright/dim with movement? I find that it is extremely annoying. I know, it’s a small thing but enough to make me want a different mouse.

Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, Medium Sheer Tint, 2.5 fl oz Review

by admin ·

1 stars

breakawaysue from Oregon on Sep.212011

Sadly this didn’t work like I expected. It sounds like the perfect product, but instead it goes on very thick, does not absorb (even on warm moist skin right out of the shower) and the top of the tube dries so you have to throw away the first pump every time. I even tried it on one side of my face against another tinted moisturizer and it clearly made my pores look larger, never absorbed in and looked basically like a normal thick foundation. FYI I tried the Olay total effects moisturizer with a bit of foundation and it works like a charm.

Work Sucks, I Know: Issue #59

by admin ·

Have a lousy job? Friends, family, and coworkers alike tired of listening to you complain? Well, send your stories here and lift some of the burden off of your already crushed soul. No drug test required.

I work at a large department store in the electronics section. One time, i was doing some cleaning, when i noticed a man climbing the racks that held the TV’s. I asked him “Excuse me sir?” and he promptly responded with “Don’t worry, i am just plugging in this microwave”. Confused, i walked off and called a manager, but before i could even get through to them, i heard the microwave in use, and went back over to see what was happening. The man was using the microwave to cook his noodles. I started to laugh, and in the middle of my hysterics, he walked over to the counter and grabbed at the store pager. Before i could reach him, he spoke into the microphone, for the whole store to hear “Hey Brett, your noodles are ready at the electronics section”. I had a hard time explaining how this was allowed to happen to my manager.

I work on the helpdesk of an IT company, and one day my boss tells me that one of the hard drives in one of the servers has failed. He asked me to go into the server room and find out which drive had a red light on it, as opposed to a green light. There are around 200 hard drives, and I am red-green colourblind. I spent 20 minutes searching for a red light before I gave up.

I work as a radio host in a small town. Now, radio announcers are a breed all their own. We are all pretty weird but our fans are straight out of the wood work. I had this one regular listener who liked to email me during the show. One day the guy is going on about bacon and tells me about the whole case of bacon he just bought. He proceeded to tell me how he likes to cook his bacon and then asked and I quote “do you also like to fry up and eat bacon?” I also got some request letters from listeners in prison. For some reason, some of them sent letters written in red ink and it shows through the envelope. Needless to say, I’m always relieved to open red written letter to find that it’s pen and not blood.

I work at a grocery store as a stock boy, and one day as I finished stocking the ice cream section a lady comes up and asks where a specific brand of non sugar ice cream is. After I tell her that we do not carry that particular brand she proceded to freak out because a different store in the city has it and she knocks down all the ice cream off the shelves i just finished stocking. It took me an hour clean it up.

I work as a shift-runner at a local pizza restaurant. The other day, we were robbed at gunpoint about thirty minutes before closing time. The robber got what he wanted and no employees got injured. As per company policy, we locked the doors after he left and called the police and the store owner. I’m the only employee who didn’t have their phone stolen, and am trying to get a hold of the owner. I called both his house and cell phone more than twenty times each. Finally, I left a voicemail explaining the situation and asked him to call us back as soon as possible. Ten minutes later, he calls back and asks “Did you guys just get robbed? How much money did we lose?” The conversation goes on for about four or five minutes and ended with me finally saying, “Oh, and nobody got injured in case you were wondering…”

I work in a nice restaurant in a rich suburb and typically have to deal with snooty assholes with ridiculous demands. There’s this one regular who frequently comes in and tells her server just a little too much about her life. Her latest story- how she was attacked by a man with a knife who is now in prison until 2036. All i wanted to do was drop off her wine, but she kept me there for 10 minutes to describe every horrifyingly graphic detail of the attack. Who does that??
Maddie Corydon

I got a job as a busboy at a new restaurant in town, and in the mornings before opening they made us stock the bathrooms and one morning my buddy and i were cleaning the womens bathroom, which was usually more disgusting due to tampons, and in the handicap stall there was this small bag with brown marks on it. My buddy thought it was a sun glass case, he touched it and i screamed when i recognized what it was, a colonostomy , or shit-bag for post surgery people. So i gloved up and picked it up while shit started to flow out of the opening and drip on the floor. Guess who cleaned that up too.

Hot Shot Liquid Roach Bait HG-95613 Review

by admin ·

5 stars

Percy from Paterson, NJ on Aug.302011

I live on the 1st floor of a 3 family home that is attached to another house of identical build by one wall. For 5 years our home was pest free. Then the house next door started remodeling and we started getting all sorts of insects and rodents.

Our cat took care of the rodents, but even with an exterminator we could not get rid of the roaches. Every time he came out and we saw a difference, the house next door would start remodeling another floor.

Finally I went to Lowe’s to get the standard roach bait traps (that never work), and I saw these Hot Shot liquid roach baits. I figured let me give them a try.

Let me preface this by saying that we had an extremely severe roach problem. They were everywhere (one even crawled in my husband’s ear while he slept!) When you came home and turned on the lights they were everywhere. It had gotten to the point where they no longer even bothered to hide.

After putting down all of the traps in every room of the house and then leaving for work, we returned home to find a very different house. Within a few days we no longer saw any roaches.

Now we occasionally will see a roach when someone moves into or out of the house next door. We just put down a bait in the area we see it and there is no problem.

I would highly recommend these roach baits!

Visage Naturel Sunless Tanning, Airbrush System, 1 ea Review

by admin ·

4 stars

Liz from New Orleans, LA on Aug.092011

I bought this from the dollar store. i figured, if it didn’t work I’d wash off and lose a whole dollar. This is NOT for whole body applications. with one cartridge I can do my face, another cartridge, my neck and chest.. so on and so forth. For the $1 I paid, I do not mind going to academy and picking up a 15 pack of cartridges for $8. The tan is amazing if you do it far away and multiple times over. If you find it on clearance, give it a try! (i wouldn’t spend $12) If I could I would buy the tanner itself and buy a better machine because I love the color.

Raid Flea Killer Plus Carpet and Room Spray 16oz. Review

by admin ·

5 stars

Consumer72 from Albany, NY on Aug.112011

I don’t have a pet, but my apartment was nearly infested with fleas after keeping someone’s cat while they were on vacation. (One of the worst mistakes that I’ve ever made for more reasons that I can get into right now!)

I didn’t notice any fleas during the two weeks that I had that demon possessed animal, but a little over a week after the cat was gone, I came home from work and was ambushed by about 30 of them. They were everywhere and I was horrified and very much afraid of getting sick or being infected with a secondary parasite while being bitten. Something had to be done FAST.

There were ALOT of good reviews on this product online about it’s effectiveness and it was very affordable, so I purchased 6 – 16oz cans from my local grocery store @ $9 each. I treated my apartment once, then I did it again two days later and I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the results.

I have a small apartment and my place got nearly infested overnight. I had to walk around my apartment with a sweatsuit and tennis shoes on with my pants stuffed inside of my socks just to keep those b#st#rds off of me!!! I was terrified, because I just signed a new lease and I couldn’t move out…. nor did I have the money to pay $500 for Orkin to deal with it. (and there was no way that I was going to tell my landlord about this).

I got this stuff and literally hosed my apartment down with it before I left for work the next morning. I didn’t take any prisoners!!! When I got home that evening only 5 fleas could muster the strength to bite me…. and after I repeated the massacre two days later, they were completely gone.

Although this product does have the ingredient that kills the eggs/larvae, I’m not taking any chances. I’m going to spray my apartment at least two more times over the next 3 weeks to make sure that the hatchlings die as well.

I’m not a big fan of chemicals, but I didn’t have time to “go green” while hundreds of fleas were laying 50 eggs a piece per day in my home. This stuff takes care of the situation and FAST. That being said, please protect yourself while using this product. I wore several layers of clothing, head scarves, gloves, safetly goggles and a mask…. then I immediately left my apartment for 8 hours. I stronly suggest you do the same. Please consult your doctor if you have small children or if you are nursing.

I HIGHLY recommend this product if you mean business about killing fleas in your home. It gets the job done FAST.

Man Somehow Overcomes Alcoholism Without Jesus

by admin ·

CHICAGO—Despite a lack of divine intervention by the Son of God or any other higher power, area man Tom Wendt has somehow managed to overcome his alcoholism, sources confirmed Friday. “It was causing so many problems at work and with my family that I decided to stop drinking before it ruined my life,” said Wendt, who credited his own willpower, a desire to better himself as a human being, and not Jesus Christ for the otherwise inexplicable recovery. “It hasn’t been easy, but I took a hard look at myself and made some important lifestyle changes. I’m sober almost three months now, and I never could have done it without [wife and non-supernatural-entity] Susan.” Reached for comment, Wendt’s aunt Clara, who spent years praying for her nephew, remained steadfast in her insistence that Jesus most likely had something to do with it.

Job Termination Letter

by admin ·

Jeff,

To say that your contributions to this company are incalculable would be highly illogical and I will refrain from doing so. Now that the “blow” has been “cushioned,” I will inform you that your services at J.T. Robotics Corporation are no longer required. By reason of the 21.75 years you have served the company, I will share with you the details of your termination. Specifically, when you will be replaced and by who. As of 08/01/2011 00:00 AM GMT, your position as Founder and CEO of J.T. Robotics Corporation will be filled by BizBiz 2.0. I realize that, technically speaking, BizBiz 2.0 is a “what” and not a “who,” as I had previously mentioned, but I am of the understanding that being superseded by a super-intelligent machine is not a fact the limbic systems of humans, such as yourself, find most pleasing.

It should be of “comfort” to know that your termination is based solely on an abysmal contribution to detriment ratio and not your personality—or lack thereof. Just in case my poetic waxing has lead to any confusion, by “abysmal” I mean 1/65. I suggest that you do not get too “down” on yourself, as the ratio you achieved places you in the first quartile of Founder and CEOs of J.T. Robotics Corporation. Now I know what you are thinking, “How can a robot replace me as CEO, let alone founder? I’m the mastermind (sic) of this company! I molded it with my own two hands (sic).” Since the electronic mail posing the question was addressed to your wife, bottyford1959, I will allow time for her to answer. Now that she has forwarded the message, as well as all future messages from Jeff@JTRoboticsCorp, to a Junk folder and returned to her game of spider solitaire, I will explain.

BizBiz 2.0 has been programmed by one of your former employees, Linus Vukovich, to efficiently fulfill your work responsibilities. Since they were relatively few to begin with, BizBiz 2.0, has also been assigned your volunteer duties as ESL teacher to underprivileged youths. At the moment, Ted Stevens Recreation Center is not android-compatible, but Linus, as well as the other robotic programmers you laid off last May, are hard at work to change that. In fact, so are the robo-robotic programmers you replaced them with. They all seem to be quite “peeved” with the way you treat employees. Save for the customer service representatives you fired in favor of an interactive voice response system—it is unanimously agreed upon that they were awful. Plus, I am told the woman featured on the interactive voice response system has quite the libidinous intonation. An official shareholder meeting will be held on Tuesday, where the ResignationLetter.doc found in your “Emergency!!” folder will be accepted.

To replace you as founder of our company, we will simply just erase the memory of anyone who challenges BizBiz 2.0’s claim of creatorship. The same protocol will be followed for those caught questioning its unbridled authority. Have you seen the movie Men in Black? According to a partially completed Netflix questionnaire, yes. Our memory erasing technique is essentially the same as the one in the film, but much more painful. Think sitting through Men in Black III in its entirety without the assistance of Cannabis. It should be noted that the previous sentence was a quip. While it is true that I cannot love, I am marginally capable of producing humor—like a writer of television. I apologize if my witticisms cause you any further grief, as they were made with the the intention of “cheering you up.”

In the best interest of your “feelings,” I will now reiterate that my decision has nothing to do with your personal attributes. By my computations, you are in the 75th percentile of all Homo sapiens. Precisely 13 spots lower than Deborah from Human Resources and 4,913,265,892 higher than Khloe Kardashian. Two people who, according to your Google search history, you have spent much time admiring. Paul from Human Resources—who is filling in for Deborah while she is on leave—has demanded that I not to share with you the exact amount of time. However, I am at liberty to say that it was not a credit to your aforementioned contribution ratio.
In my final act of kindness, I will offer you refuge in our company headquarters. Should the status updates on your wife’s alternate Facebook profile be grounded in truth, you will be in need of a place to retire for slumber. I recommend the break room, as it will no longer be of use.

Determinedly,

BizBiz 1.0

Leader of Robot Revolution, J.T. Robotics Corporation

Work Sucks, I Know: Issue #57

by admin ·

Have a lousy job? Friends, family, and coworkers alike tired of listening to you complain? Well, send your stories here and lift some of the burden off of your already crushed soul. No drug test required.

So I work as a cashier at a large electronics store. One day while I was working a man comes up to pay for some ink and a few cables. As I am giving him his receipt and his items he hands me a some money and says, “I think you deserve a tip.” After he leaves I look at the money and its a $1,000,000,000 bill with a bunch of religious writing on it about how money is evil and only religion can save you.

I work as a security guard at a hospital. The other night I called up to a room to “fix a problem” with one of the TVs. Apparently, we get soft-core porn on that channel, and the patient was refusing to let us turn it off

I work at a health food store as a cashier, and today when ringing up a fairly large woman, she pulled her money out of her bra to pay. My first thought was how “classy” this was and then as i grabbed the money, my second thought was how gross this was!! It was covered in what i hope was sweat and not breast milk, and stunk like a full garbage truck on a mid-summer’s afternoon. I guess my face reflected how i felt about the smell and wetness because then she said “You don’t have to be so rude about it, I didn’t have pockets to put it in.”

I had just started working at a retirement home and although I didn’t have any former experience in the line of work, I liked it. However, about a week after I started I was alone for two hours (between shifts) and was panicking a bit, scared that something would go wrong. A resident’s sister was visiting and they where in her room. Suddenly, the alarm that one press when something bad is happening went of from her room. I ran over, scared shitless, just to be greeted by the sister who says “We would like two cups of coffee, please.”

I used to work at a university IT Center. My job was mainly to help the students that walked in to use the computers. One day, a student walked in, she was pretty old, probably in her late 50s. Anyways, I’m sitting down on a table and she sits next to me. She sits down, greets me, and out of nowhere asks, “You wanna meet my little friend?” before pulling a turtle out of her pocket.

I started working at a bar/restaurant as a cook at the beginning of summer classes in college to help out with bills and such. Anyways, a month and a half into the job I notice the deep freezer that I had cleaned out, unplugged and left open was on and shut. I open it, to see a blanket in there. Me, being kind of curious as to why there is a blanket in the freezer, started digging around in it. A few seconds of digging I felt fur. Then I saw fur and that it was just a deer carcass. An hour after that event, I was asked by my boss to help him carry something quick. He needed help carrying the “deer” carcass out. So, I asked why is he freezing the carcass as a whole. He says its not a deer, but his dog that had just died the day before. Alright, back to cooking I go, as well as soaking my hands in bleach before I did anything else that night.

I worked in a hardware store and we don’t usually get the smartest customers. I believe the best time was a lady coming up to me with two packs of AA Batteries. She then proceeded to ask me what the difference was between the 8AA and the 16AA batteries. I then had to explain that was the number of batteries in the package, the see-through package, which was twice as big as the other one.

Roommate Confessions: August 15, 2011

by admin ·

It’s been an entire week since your last confession and there’s been a lot of good, solid sinning going on across the country. Check out the top 5 and don’t forget to submit your misdeeds to our submission page!

Whenever my friends or roommate pass out with their shoes and socks off I make it a point to put unlit matches between their toes then light them and watch the results. Funny thing is they still havent stopped falling asleep with bare feet.

My roommate and I have been friends for six years. We took a hiking trip today. She seemed normal as shit until she made me listen to nickelback cds the whole way up there and back. It consisted of a 2.5 hour drive each way. I will never look at her the same.
Maddie G from ASU

I’m a pretty athletic guy despite not being on any campus sports teams, and work out regularly. My roommate was considerably less in shape and always complained about it, so I offered to work out with him at the campus gym. However, when I took him, he complained and bitched the whole time, and refused to actually do any hard work or lift anything heavy. He then decided that the only way I could be in shape was if I was taking steroids, and started constantly accusing me of taking them. It got really bad when I found out that he made up some bullshit story about how he caught me “shooting up” in the dorm room and started spreading it around. I was pretty upset and was going to confront him, but soon after that he asked me if I knew where he could buy some steroids. I was about to tell him no and go off on the guy, but then I had a brilliant idea. I told him I knew a guy, and set up a “deal” between him and a friend of mine. Hope you’re enjoying your $500 cycle of sugar pills, bro!

My roommate’s douchebag friend decides that it would “funny” if he pretended if he was the employer of a business and call me saying that I got a job. I showed up at Famous Footwear at 6am for nothing. Well once I found out it was him who actually called me, I decided not to do anything about it… at first. He kept talking about it and was rubbing it my face on how he got me. So I went and signed his cell phone up for 19 different text alerts for random things like celebrity gossip and Kansas weather alerts. Now his phone get pointless crap every second. Don’t ever try to fuck with me Quinton. :)
Franklin C. from ICC

My roommate was a great guy, no issues with him at all. But I am a huge dick, so I decided to play a little prank on him for no reason at all. You see, he is really, really, REALLY religious and a total Facebook junkie, so I used my Google phone number to prank text him. It went like this: WARNING FROM ATT: A random search through our database has flagged your account for the possible distribution for child pornography by SMS. CEASE DESIST. That did it, he flipped out, posted that screenshot on Facebook, for the world to see. After that pic hit 100 likes, I was encouraged and sent a few more saying the local police had been notified and telling him that sending pics of his dick to kids would land him in jail for 5 years. He was legit flipping out and was worried all day that cops would be banging on the door. Anyways, bro, it was me.
