An off topic request: Things that don't work

An off topic request: Things that don't work

2005-12-05 by Arthur Fink

I have a personal request of list members.  If you can respond, please just 
send to me personally, and NOT TO THE LIST.

I'm seeking striking examples of things that are hard to use or understand 
--  particularly computer programs, but also traffic signs, directions for 
toys or appliances, or whatever.  It could be as simple as a confusing 
button in an elevator, a too well hidden handle in your car, or an error 
message that appears to make no sense.

Please send me whatever information you can ... web links, photographs, 
whatever.

In any case, write to ME about this, and NOT TO THE LIST.

Thanks much,


Arthur Fink

I have a hard time understanding this type of question on a digital  
black and white list :)

So do I ... which is why I put "off topic" in the subject, and asked for 
responses just to me and not to the list.

I expect that members of this list may well have examples to share with me 
... but that 99% of themm don't relate directly to the subject of this list.
