Annoying feature
« 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:
