    No, TRWTF is that you can book your car on September the 8th and have it a week ago. Apparently their cars travel extremely fast; obviously the time dilation has done strange things to their calendars.

    Does installing Oracle on Windows usually require X11?
    Yes. X11 is kept inside the second of 5 jdk's embedded in the installer. True, story.
    I honestly can't tell if this is a joke. Then again, I wouldn't put it past Oracle.

    TRWFT - 26 bucks for six ice cube trays (and that's the discount price)

    Yes, but they're freezer safe -- much more durable than those non-freezer safe ice cube trays.

    I think it's worth it!

    You'd think that the freezer-safe state of ice cube trays would be a given. But a few years ago, my (then) 10-year-old niece snapped an ice tray in half when she was trying to pop the ice out in the normal fashion.

    She was so scared that she'd be in trouble. I told her, if the ice tray was that fragile, she could hardly be faulted for breaking it.

    You could have gotten her to pay for new ones.

    TRWTF is people with dsylexia doing the final QA on customer messages.

    Actually TRWTF is companies who employ people with dyselxia to maintain employee lists. I have had three different mis-spellings of my name so far in this place I've just joined, and that's even after I have carefully spelled it to them, several times, emailed it, written it down on post-it notes, and goodness knows what. I've spelt it to the drones out loud, and they've said, but that's what we've put. And I've said, no, listen, the (e.g.) first R has been missed out. Where's the first R? I told you (and I spell it out for them again).

    IMO one of the more important aspects of courtesy in the treatment of your employees is to ensure you get their name correct. It is not my fault if I have a difficult name. It is entirely your responsibility to make sure that you have recorded it correctly.

    Rant over. Sorry guys, I had to do that, the pressure was building.

    Prey tell, QJo, where does your R go?

    A couple years ago Pyrex dishes were marked "oven safe", but the fine print said

    Avoid severe hot and cold temperature changes. ... Use minimum amount of cooking time. ... No stovetop, broiler, toaster oven, microwave, browner or any other direct heat source. ... Do not add liquid to hot dish or place hot dish or glass cover in sink, immerse in water or place on cold or wet surfaces.

    Pyrex dishes made in the U.S after 1998 (when Corning sold the brand name to World Kitchen in 1998) have a reputation for, um, exploding violently.

    You can read all the angry consumer complaints here. Highlights include

    This is completely unacceptable!!! These Pyrex glass pans are nothing but a complete and utter danger to ALL PEOPLE!!! I'm VERY and EXTREMELY ANGRY.

    "I'm VERY and EXTREMELY ANGRY that the President's daughter is sick!" could be a new TDWTFism. And on the plus side, exploding dishes could give Michael Bay something new to work with.

    It's only someone else's responsibility, if we assume they're even slightly interested in you and the absurd spelling of your (presumably preposterous) name. Since they keep getting it wrong, we can conclude that they're not.

    FYI, getting stroppy because someone doesn't spell your name perfectly, isn't far off turning up somewhere new and insisting on picking your own nickname.

    No need for time dilation at all:

    They send out cars to every potential customer way in advance of any bookings, whilst spying on customers via their webcams... then as the time for the preemptive booking draws near, they cancel it if the customer isn't anywhere near their computer to make the booking.

    To the untrained eye, it appears to be impossibly speedy service.
