Ok, last pack of peanuts for the trolls... /toss

they are all ways to refer to a soft drink. I cross the northern border and people call them pepsi by default, to the south, it's coke, head out west and some of my cousins say "you want a soh-da?"(funny accent, have to be there for it).

I don't particularly care for the tone of the OP, and why they haven't erased this is beyond me.

But he has a point. Am I sure that he does? Yes

Am I sure that I'm sure that he does? Yes

Am I really sure that I'm sure that he does? Yes

Am I really sure that I'm really sure that he does? Yes

Last chance now...Yes already!

Just like ipod and zune are just different terms for the same thing, amirite? They are both mp3 players, so it's ok to use them interchangably to refer to any kind of mp3 player, right? Pepsi and coke are names used to refer to specific brands of sodas. They are not terms at all.

The thread title is pretty dumb. "I hate you square enix" doesn't exactly tell anyone what the thread is about, and is easy to mistake for one of the troll threads we see now and then.

The point the OP is trying to make is fair though. I too really dislike the extreme amount of confirmation boxes I have to navigate through. Most games streamline these processes a lot more.

Also, using specific brand names as general terms is fucking retarded.

I honestly did not now plexiglass was a brand name. As far as xerox goes, yes.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realise "getting into your house" was the same as opening your door.

Opening your front door = you are completely ready to do whatever you do in your house? Because when you are logged into FFXI thats the stage where you are at. Opening your front door is equivilent to typing in your passoword in POL. Opening your front door, walking inside, putting away any outdoor clothes etc, walking to your living room/bed room/etc is much more comparable to the whole log in process to where you are completely logged into FFXI.

Just for you I will go outside and time myself from reaching into my pocket to get the key, to when I am stood in my room, ready to do whatever.
And it took 1 minute 1 second. Hmm.

Keycard for the front door, swapping shoes, taking indoor shoes out of locker and putting outdoor shoes into locker, walking up a floor to my room then just my normal door key.

To be honest the OP is just too stressed and worrying his little head about rediculously trivial things. Stop being so impatient, take a deep breath, relax and just get on with it. Theres far more important things to worry about than wasting a few extra minutes when you are already wasting hours. In the grand scheme of things it really doesnt matter.

A few minutes every day adds up over a life time. Shit son, even just one minute lost per day every day for 80 years is a whole 20 days of your life gone!
