Ever buy something and wonder WHO designed this?!
 

Last weekend I had to buy a new hair straightener.. I wanted the cheap Revlon model I had before, it worked great but after about 2 years only one side was getting hot, so I go to the store ,and of course they don't have another one of those, so for More money I buy a Vidal Sassoon ceramic one, I think well it costs more so I'm sure it will be even better....
So I have been fighting with this dumb thing all week, I does not have one flat surface on it so you can not sit it upright on your counter, it immediately falls on its side,, which is HOT on the side. It is infuriating! I just wonder WHO would make such a thing, Yes, it works and straightens my hair, But you can not sit the damn thing down. :mad:
And I have forgotten to turn my old one off before, but with this one.. if that happens, I'll end up burning the house down.
Ok sorry to rant, but it is designed SO stupid!
Anyone else ever buy something and wonder WHO designed this thing.
I'm no engineer , and I can look at it and see, that's not gonna work. :rolleyes: ( If Only I had looked at it before I bought it, but of course it was in 5 inches of that stupid plastic!
Anywho...... :thumbdown

Y don't you return it i had a similar problem .... I bought one and it was way too thick, I would try to grab my hair and Boink! My head would get hit!!! So I returned it! I have now a revlon it is very skinny small like 3/ or something, but it has some type of material on the sides so you can put it on the bed on table and nothing happens even on the carpet which is a no no..... it has a on & turbo heat switch w/ a dial for 1-20 or 25 .... it's under $15-$20... It heats REALLY good and you can do your hair really quick!!! :)

The Hot Tools ceramic is really good, Rhonda :D I've had it for like 5 years and have left it on for 48 hours once (I know I'm a ditz!!!!)

Yes, I think I am going to return it, it makes me so mad in the morning, And noone needs that in the morning! :mad:

My oldest daughter has been through about 4. She hates the "cheap" ones. She wants me to buy her on of those $100 ones. Yeah right!!

I always wonder what "man" designed bathroom stalls. They are so tiny, I can barely get in. I have to straddle the toilet to shut the door, lord help me if I'm holding a coats or bags. This is one of my biggest peeves so I could go on and on, but I'll spare ya. :D

And why is the laundry room always downstairs. The dirty clothes are always upstairs. You carry the dirty down, the carry the clean back up...

Why not just have them upstairs where the dirty clothes are??? ;)

Men.

Men design stuff like that.

Sorry, sorry guys I just HAD to say it! :p

LMAO Val! That was my first thought too :)

:lol tears :lol tears


I'm an accountant why are telephone key pads backwards from adding machines even computer key pads. Do you have any idea how many wrong numbers I dial?!!

I KNOW! I deal with this ALL day long, and have ALWAYS wondered that. :mad:

That drives me nuts too! I'm always dialing the wrong numbers...

I am glad the computer/keyboard people got it right! :rolleyes:

I have a hot tools too...i really like it!!!! I wanted to buy a Chi..but i just can't see spending $120 on a flat iron..

Wow, I think I have the exact same one! It kind of has a rubbery spongy texture on one side, plus it turns itself off! YAY!
