Title: Annoying feature
Post by: Beefy McMoo on 04 December 2007, 08:51
Maybe it's just me, but I find the volume control knob on the radio very annoying.  The fact that the little power icon thingy in the middle of the knob turns with it.  To satisfy my OCD  :laugh: I like to have this facing up, which means only using the MFSW to adjust the volume.  Anyone else find this annoying, or is it just me, as usual?

When a mate of mine gets in my car he insists on having the climate figures 'even' so I always set it to 21 or 23 before he gets in. Some people are crazy!  :laugh: :grin:

sh!t - I've just picked up my car and done that when stuck in traffic, literally 5 miles out of the dealership, using the MFSW instead!  I should get out more!

You're not unique - well, we're both sad then!  :shocked:

You later MK owners have too little to worry about breaking if all you're concerned about is the orientation of your knobs!

I do all of the above  :cry:  I can't stand the way the volume button moves and I have to have the temp on an even number.  I also can't leave the house unless the tv is switched off on Channel 4  :laugh:

I thought I was bad until a mate of mine's bird told us that he can't leave the house unless all the spoons are facing the same direction  :shocked: :laugh:

If I don't have a passenger in the car then I have to make sure the passenger seat is level with mine. And if anyone moves the air vents I go proper :laugh:

Temperature control doesn't bother me, I think it's on 19.5, but if something has a right way up, then it should be right  :nerd:
Also agree with the air vents, they should be straight...

I hate it the other way, my girlfriend always changes her side, which activates DUAL system. I'm always switcing it off and hence equalising the temp. The temps NEED to match. And never 19.5. Always 20.

I always keep my temp on 29.5*C for bother passenger and driver.
I insist on being warm!

I like to keep my vents at the middle and central location.

My biggest problem is all the old perished foam that blows out of the vents when I crank it up to Hot and 3!!!

Haha,

One side is on 19.5 and the other on 20.5 :smiley: never bother looking at it as long as I am not too hot.

Don't have to fiddle with the sound controls either as they are touchscreen ones :cool:

I love messing stuff up for those OCD peeps, but wouldn't mess with their car, hell no. 

I do like a tidy desk, but I'm not mental about it.   :smiley:
