Stupid, stupid form designers

Member 96

This happened to me with a QuickBooks SDK order, it caused the shipment to never arrive even though I manually typed in all the relevant information because I couldn't select my province but they provided a text area to type in the extra information. Apparently it did get shipped to Alabama according to the QB guy I eventually got a hold of on the phone, who knows what they ended up doing with it there. I complained bitterly to them for being so shortsighted (as is my wont) ;) And I too always pick 90210 when asked for a US area code, but I think everyone should make a point of emailing and complaining if they can't find another service that is aware that there are actually people using the internet that live outside the U.S.

d) mail the web master that 1) he misses my favorite country, namely Folk-Metal-Country 2) WTF is "French Country"? 3) And why is the Smith&Wesson-Country so popular in Texas not included? 4) If he sells to much advertising space to "dueling Banjos, Inc." You are reconsidering signing up.

It's this very attitude of the great U S of bloody A, that really gets on the tits of every other nation on earth (well especially us brits). i.e this idea that America is the centre of the Universe, the sun revolves around america. That any american champions in a 2 bit sport that the only the americans play seriously e.g. baseball (or should I say rounders), are automatically dubbed 'WORLD champions'.... the 'World Series....blah blah'. Then they have the audacity to ignore the world's greatest game played by every other nation on earth with a passion, and not only that they rename it 'soccer', so that it doesnt CONFUSE their people with that amazingly witless game they play in pathetic costumes. God it makes me puke. This same attitude is the one responsible for crappy forms which only show American states, and zip codes. Im not sayin I hate america, or its people, but the fact is, 'on average' they are probably the least intelligent, most arrogant, most self-centred, most ignorant nation on earth. (France pushes them close though -but thats another long rant :) ); :mad: "Life begins at 140"

Who says i'm angry? I was stating simple facts. Plus it seems you got no sense of humour. Your ID says 'Brit', but you seem to be another clueless american who doesnt understand british wit. :laugh: "Life begins at 140"

I say Alaska. It's fairly remote, and it's close to the top of the list.

Don't all countries do those things in someway or another? If not, why would they be so upset at the 'US of bloody A'? The US is just famous for it for some reason.
