What about a product can irritate you?



What about a product can irritate you, other than the sound?

I thought of this today while attemting to install a new pair of cables. The cables came out of the package in the shape of a Slinky and no amount of bending them, shaping them, stretching them or otherwise trying to reshape them would do any good... they are permanently shaped like a big telephone cord.

I find cables that aren't installation-friendly to be incredibly irritating.

Do you have a pet peeve?

I once had a preamp that arrived DOA. It would light up, but there was no sound.

While not technically inclined, I always open DOA pieces just to make sure it is not something obvious like a ribbon cable that is not firmly seated or some other such thing. Well, on this unit there was not obviously wrong, so I sent the unit back to the manufacturer.

When it returned there was a note inside the box that said "No problem found"... but when I took the cover off the unit I found the mother board, which was green, was now blue. It had been changed.

No problem found? Yeah, right!

I hate when manufactures aren't accountable.
