Fuck Toasters: The Complaining About Electronics Thread

[inexpediency]

I'm pretty sure our microwave is about the same age as I am.

The display is almost completely broken, so instead of displaying the time is just displays a random assortment of lines, and if you want to know how to do anything beyond the simplest of functions you have to consult the manual, because you just can't make out the words on the display.

Also I'm pretty sure ours does spew radiation.

But it has a perfect popcorn button (the popcorn never gets burnt or underpopped, even if it's one of the little bags) so I love it anyway.

I absolutely hate my toaster. It doesn't even toast evenly. Toasts are serious business and its not taking it seriously.. If toasting is its entire point of existing, why isn't it good at it? Also I would like to spread butter before toasting, not after.

Currently my laptop is heating up way too fast. The only way I can keep it on long is to have a box fan blowing directly onto it.

Also my ceiling fan decided to stop making the lights on it work. Then again, I've had this thing since I was like, 6.

I have a treadmill in my house that generates a buttload of interference. When it turns on this tends to happen: "And today on the radioORRFFFZZZZGFFTFFFZZZZZZ". Man is it annoying. Everything that transmits a signal gets knocked out by its EMP shenanigans. Even the internet cuts out because of i-

My computer is rapidly running out of space (which is something I need), the battery is shit, and the backspace key on the keyboard (it's a laptop) broke off so I have to use an external keyboard.

It's a shame, because it generally runs pretty well (except GIMP tends to glitch up a bunch), but I might have to get a new one eventually. :/

And oh yeah, I need to get a DVD out of there that's about 4 weeks overdue from the library, and to do so I'll have to take it apart....and my mom is retarded and won't let me get the screwdrivers necessary to.

There should be a small hole, probably near the eject button, just put a straightened out paperclip or something in there and it should manually open it.

[Newgod]

the battery backup of my laptop is just 2 hours and 56 minutes i mean what can you do in that much small amount of time

Dump your toaster’s sorry popper and invest in a smoking hot new toaster oven. Not necessarily in that order.

This reminds me: the slot-loading drive on my brother’s (hand-me-down) laptop somehow misaligned itself in the few years he had it and now it will gladly take and read a disc, but the motor isn’t capable of shoving the disc hard enough to break the plastic outsides (dear Mr. Jobs: please demand this feature of your optical drive suppliers). In situations where we forget this, the machine must be opened up (I voided the warranty when I replaced the cracked screen anyway).

[MysteryJack]

I have this new computer mouse.

It's a jittery piece of shit and I hate it.

[NotAPumpkin]

My toaster is neither brave nor little. I DEMAND A REFUND.

[Karhs12]

Freezer died a few days ago. I was blamed at first, because I access it more often than anyone else. But luckily I had an alibi!
Unluckily, we lost around five hundred dollars in food.

Also I don't know if this goes here but come on youtube whoever's idea it was to start having fucking ads with sounds should be beat up, fired, executed, reanimated, and then beat up again.

[Wheeeeeeatthins]

None of my past toasters were good at swimming. I kept on saying "BE MY MICHAEL PHELPs" but they all just kept on fucking everything up! And yes I said I wanted to keep the lights on but they kept shutting them off. The men at the power station said I can't own any toasters anymore so fuck the power station, too. I will have to settle for the oven, despite its girth. We live in the worst of possible universes. Currently seeking toaster for one last thrill before I commit myself to that fatty.

[Andrew Ryan]

ARGH!!! WHY KEYBOARD!!! WHY DO YOU KEEP DYING ON ME!!! YOU WORK FINE AFTER RESTARTS, JUST WHHHHHYYY!!!!

Also, every once and a while my computer has the habit of bricking itself by refusing to turn on even when I press the front power button, forcing me to power off the entire machine from the power supply and then power it all back up again to un-brick it.

My computer is annoying sometimes.

[AsuraChaos]

My laptop's motherboard has fried 5 times so far in the four years that I've had it, and now my warranty is up. Time for me to worry and fret again! The last time it fried, I was stranded in the UK at the end of my semester studying in London, sleeping in an airport and unable to contact anyone without borrowing a phone or searching for an open and affordable internet cafe (I didn't get a flight home until Christmas Eve, when NOTHING was open and I was really panicking).

[Mr. Muitini]

On the Headphone topic I actually have had the pair of earphones I currently have for about 2 years :B They are Sony earbud thingies and they probably don't have the best quality but I am so used to it I might never change. Although it has broke. Like an earbud cover came off. But I just popped it back in there

But my HP mini laptop was not so lucky. It got sooooo many viruses on it because of its hatred of virus blocking stuff I had to switch accounts on my laptop multiple times. After a while it just totally broke down on me. When it started up it was all a big black screen with a single white blinking line. And it was impossible to fix ;_; We even took it to a computer guy my dad knows and he told us that it in most cases it just happens to that model after a certain point of time. AND IT HAD THE BEST INTERNET CONNECTION TOO *cries*

[Chuko Liang]

my laptop has several keys that broke about a month after buying it (new).

But what drives me absolutely nuts is that I keep buying mp3 players and they straight-up disappear. Like, without a trace. I've owned 3 or 4 now and they just stop being where I put them. Irritating.

[Almost Human]

My Toaster oven is at a rebellious age. It's taken up smoking and has no respect for punctuality.
It keeps making the same tired excuses 'oh my timer must be broke' and 'they're my buttons and I'll melt them if I want too.'
You want to live under my roof? You play by MY rules.

[Descriptor]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Stupid hard drive, forcing me to reformat.

Years of pointless information, gone, gone in a flash!

I knew I should have backed it up, but I kept putting it off, and putting it off, and now here I am, having to redownload a preposterous amount of garbage, and not having my game files and bookmarks anymore.
Procrastination has failed me yet again!

*sign*

This is the worst Christmas ever....

I'm so tired of my earbuds breaking. The free ones which came with my cell phone actually lasted longer than any that I bought after they broke down, 3 solid month that is. But when they finally broke it was quite bad, Someimes only the right side would work, Sometimes only the left and sometimes it just died down completely.. Oh, And it sent electrical shocks through my eardrums when moving, Not that pleasant considering I usually walk while listening to music.

Then I had to buy new ones, understandably. They broke after 3 days. Okay one of the sides broke but being the spoiled bitch that I am, I wanted new ones. Yeah, i'm not going to count all of my broken earbuds but let's just say I went through 7 pairs in about 6 months. Let's not forget all of those little rubber thingies whose lives were lost, NEVAR FORGET. Yeah, I should probably buy a sturdy pair of headphones instead but I look like an idiot with them on so.. Let's waste money on earbuds instead

Anyway, I currently have a new pair which I only bought because they're orange because it seems like both high-quality ones break just as quickly as low-quality ones for me, Hey, If Im going to be shocked by electricity, I might as well look snazzy doing it. Buuut hopefully I won't have to be shocked at all, I strongly believe that the color orange has miraculous qualities that will keep the bad spirits who haunt my earbuds away.

Got a pair of skullcandy earbuds a few months ago, one of the $30 pair. I got them for $6, brand new. I do all my headphone shopping at amazon because they have the best prices and selection IMO. At any rate, I determined them to be of shitty quality (surprise!) as soon as I got them out of the box. So last week I broke down and, despite the headphones still being relatively new and my insistence on babying them, bought a new pair of earbuds in hopes of higher quality audio. I bought these. They arrived at my apartment Saturday, and I have used them nonstop for the past 2 days. Not only do they sound better, they fit better, and I am more content with them. Fuck Skullcandy.

[Drillgorg]

Skullcandy is like a meme but in headphone form instead of dumb images.

[Hanky Panky]

The first time I ever had skullcandy headphones, they weren't actually all that bad. Granted, I'd only spring out like $10 for a pair of headphones, but they sounded great 6 years ago. Now....

Ugh.

[Lennie]

Meh, Here in Sweden Skullcandy is considered about as useful as a pair of brand jeans. They have their uses but you could find something equally as good for half the money. Still, Walking around with a pair of Skullcandies around your neck makes you look like a rich... Or atleast where I live but then again, I live in the godforgiven north. On the bright side though; We have reindeers

I don't use Skullcandy personally but I have borrowed my brother's pair of headphones a couple of times, Can't say if they're better than other ones since I usually don't use them but to me, They sound fine. I still prefer earbuds though.

[Coasterman29]

It is so expensive!

I DJ, but the equipment is just so pricey!

[Chuko Liang]

I love this thread title.

Something about picturing someone yell "FUCK TOASTERS" makes me crack up every time.
