How come when manufacturers pre-size things for the mould, they ALWAYS come up with such random numbers!
For example today, i was looking for a new CD rack, and all i saw were things like "holds 64 cds", "can store up to 92 cds", holds "140 cds and 14 videos", holds "312 cds and 41 DVDs".
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR THESE INAPPROPRIATE PROPORTIONS? I want a CD rack that holds 150 cds. I don't want my cd rack to whiten my teeth in my sleep or contain up to 5 televisions (what I am going to do with 5 televisions in my room i don't know!), NO EXTRAS, just CDs. And a nice metric number. not 312 cds. 300 would be fine. ARGH IT JUST MAKES ME GO CRAZY
And the list could go on? why why why why why WHY WHY do they come up with such STUPID numbers and sizes. And comparisons to size as well, when they are really disjointed. "has the capacity of 5 litres or 12 RUBBER DUCKS" (there is no product description like this that i know of, its just an example) but the point is that they are always inane and illogical comparisons. Like i care that 12 rubber ducks is 5 litres!
Rant over, i just got very bitter today cos i went home empty handed.
Does this annoy other people? Can you give more examples?
