"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Those aren't so much classic threads as much as threads that are found in every other forum.

Also make sure to remind the cashier that you are an individual and have rights.

I once got a 32 piece chicken nugget meal that only had 31 pieces. Should I lawyer up and sue? Serious responses only please.

Only if you needed the 32nd piece for sexual gratification or you burned yourself.

Dude, I am generally a huge advocate of 5 Guys but I went to one last week and got the med fries and they didn't put ANY extra in the bag. Like none at all, just what filled the fry carton. I was so pissed I don't think I am ever going back to that 5 Guys. Not sure if it's some new policy or something but it was bull****. I'm not even kidding, it totally bummed out my night.
