Boy, I thought I had problems, but I've never even *seen* any
50-conductor phone cable, let alone having to fuss with hooking
it up...

Nevertheless, there is something that has perpetually annoyed me.
WHY IS IT THAT AUTO DOORS ARE ALWAYS SCREWED UP?  You get a choice -
loose doors that, when opened on the slightest tilt, fall closed
and crush your leg, OR that are so stiff that you need a strong
shoulder and a running start to get them open!  Then there's the
"threshold" doors that have to be pushed past a certain point
before they'll stay open.  Of course, the threshold is cleverly
designed to be at such a point that you can never make it when your
car is in a parking lot.  That way, the door pins you when you
try to get out, the door latch catching you in the groin.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

(Here's an idea!)
The government should set up a Tech Corps (sort of like the Peace
Corps) of people from hi-tech companies to go to Detroit and
other lo-tech centers and teach them about the 20th century...
(Hey, if we built Apollo like Detroit builds cars, we'd *still*
be trying to get into orbit)
