This is not a prompt for my comment.

I am surprised that the first submission wanted to redact his bike chassis number but not his home address.
Admin
So what? Samsung also makes air conditioners.
Admin
I think $69.6969696969696969 would be quite an interesting price....
Admin
Indeed... http://www.complaints.com/september2003/complaintoftheday.september24.10.htm
Samsung makes Air Conditioners with remote controls (presumably room air conditioners and not central air).
Admin
What good is a reminder if you have to remember it?
Admin
Eye. Bee. Emmmm.

My Remote Won't Post This Comment
Admin
This comment doesn't operate my air conditioner

The remote control one isn't really a WTF. Samsung makes air conditioners that have remote controls. At least they do in Japan.
Admin
Let me be the first to say that TRWTF is Lotus Notes. In terms of WTF'ness, Lotus Notes is at least 100x more WTF'y than VB and PHP combined.
Which is probably why that web form wanted nothing to do with IBM. Can't say I blame them.
So really, we need Sean Cheshire to explain Lotus Notes before he goes calling WTF on anything else.
Admin
Hmmm....I wonder where I could get a remote controlled AC? Maybe Samsung makes one? If only dozens of people would comment to confirm that. I'm not quite sure yet.

"IBM Corporation" > 5 characters.

Oh God, is Best Buy using binary floating-point cents?!

Now that is indeed some free thinking insurance. Instead of sending you a traditional pre-typed policy letter, they allow you to create your own (in the "type here" field).

It is amazing that they're not doing currency calculations with a proper BCD or Currency type!

Given the kind of town South Bend is, it doesn't really surprise me that Fritos are prominently featured on their baseball team's website.
Admin
I actually have a Samsung A/C with a remote.
Admin
As usual, every one of these is photoshopped.

Did you know that if you type in your password in the comments, it will only be visible to you? Everyone else will just see stars. See?

My comment doesn't trigger Akismet

Yes they do!

Soylent Fritos!!!

That's right, ladies and gentlemen: we are not allowed to refer to anything else when we write our comments. Doing so bring the damnum of the admins for some tristiquerious reason.
Admin
Hey, has anyone seen Cole, lately?
**** Lotus Notes, now with 7% less WTFery.

Flashmob to Oli's house!
Admin
As to Bikesure - it's Freethinking Insurance, so what did you expect? You're not paying for them to think, so you'll have to fill in your own TYPE HERE.
Admin
The real WTF is that we're STILL seeing people write software where the type of money is real or float. Sad thing is that this aparently was an improvement on the original, mainframe way of doing things with COBOL ...
Less WTF but more FFS!
Admin
I guess I won't look for work here, either.

The one about the remote reminds me of many of cases from my summer days.
While I was in University, I worked for a pretty major appliance manufacturer during my summers. I was pretty close with the people who worked in the technical support area.
I can recall a person calling in to get tech support for the remote control to their air conditioner. For about 5-10 minutes they went through steps to verify that it was working, had batteries, the display came up on the remote etc. When the tech support person finally asked "Can you try the same function using the panel on the A/C just to see if that function works at all?" the (very nice) woman on the other end of the line said "Ok, but I'll have to call you back. It's at my mothers house across town."
You can't make this stuff up, she was trying to control it from about 20 miles away.
Admin
TRWTF is that BikeSure's logo looks like a captcha.
Admin
What has that got to do with a baby horse?
Also IBM = I've Been Moved
Admin
Why on earth isn't Oli's address redacted?
Alex we are not YPA ;)

I would think troubleshooting of a remote would involve making sure the remote is in range and there are no obstructions.

Dear Bikesure,
Enclosed is the letter you sent. I typed some stuff in the area specified as requested. Now what?
Sincerely, Oliver

We used to think that BestBuy would squeeze you for every penny, but now we know better. They'll squeeze you for every trillionth of a penny.
