Hairy Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Garmin watch with the integrated strap ... you break a strap, you need a whole ^#$^&$#^ new watch! The Garmin is a relic in my cupboard now where bad ideas go to die.
Long Wheel Base Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 did you not leave out Spez by mistake Kid you not, I had it in there and then removed it because I am split between Spez and Colnago.

dave303e Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Not really a "design failure" but had the Maxigate guys installing a big gate Infront of our lounge windows, which reach to the floor. About 4 metres wide. The guys measured either side of the frame for the top rail. Since the two side pillars were equal, they decided that the top will be flat. So they drilled and mounted it to the wall without measuring the height in the centre. Didn't consider that a bar that length will have a small sag in the middle due to its weight. I noticed that it was sagging in the middle and pointed it out. According to the workers and manager, it was an optical illusion. Then measured the two sides from floor too the bar, and from the Flore to the centre of the top bar. 1.5cm lower in the centre. Their answer:sometimes the floor is skew. So we measured from bar to ceiling, and still 1.5cm. They could not understand that even a metal bar will have a bit of "sag" in this situation due to its weight. Also put a hot drill bit on our carpet, which now has burn marks. If you have OCD issues, never ever measure your house, ever.... I used to hang curtains as a side job in high school. the number of times the floor, window top, window bottom and ceiling were not aligned or perfectly horizontal is scary, very very few houses are square. My favorite party trick was to hang a curtain rail perfectly horizontal and then when the clients said no it was skew I would put a few different spirit levels on the rail and tell them look the house is skew...
TIB Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Kid you not, I had it in there and then removed it because I am split between Spez and Colnago. The Romans build the Aqueducts and some other nice pieces like Vespa's. On good design it's a no-brainer..... Ford vs Alfa

I found this out the hard way when I did my own built in cupboards and ordered all the boards square. Much planing and sawdust created and children had to wear earplugs for weeks to avoid being permanently scarred by the language. Flat concrete roofs - I know a very reputable structural engineer who suggests to almost anyone who wants one (and wants it not to leak) that they should put a timber / steel truss and sheeting over it.

Skott5 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 you lucky ... they wanted me to buy a new "discounted" watch.... let's just say it was not R500 Ja I had the same *** with a Vestal tide watch - the strap / watch is one integrated unit. Vestal sent me a " free "replacement from the states - I only had to pay shipping ..... shipping was 800 bucks !!! Free my arse !!When this one breaks it will get pres-ticked to the wall in my man-cave

(Same can't be said for other walls...) But I have seen that before with the floor window and ceiling not parallel.
bertusras Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Glass tomato sauce bottles! I'll be more specific on this, *****ing Heinz tomato sauce bottles. I get proper annoyed when it's served at restaurants.
