Default Why do women have to fiddle?

Had my brother over last night and was playing Forxa2. The wife decided she would see if the X-Box would be quiter lying down rather than upright. Unfortunately she moved it while it was on and the disc jumped and is now fooked

It didn't need touching

Because wome ALWAYS have to interfere with everything and think they know best! My boss does this all the time. The other week she demanded I ring all my customers first thing in the morning (at 8:30, even tho they were booked for 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 + 17 pm) to make sure they weren't gonna be late. End result? 3 pissed off customers (you'd be pissed off if you were rung up at 8:30 and told not to be late for your 2pm appointment ) and three completely messed up appointments - 2pm now coming in at 1pm, 1pm I wasn't supposed ot have then gets told to come in at 2 - he's pissed off cos he was orginally told 1pm - and the 5pm appt indignant cos he's been rung up to be told he has to be on time, so comes in late (5:30) meaning I end up going home late

If she'd just left it they'd have come in at 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, +5pm and everyone would have been happy

I had my ps2 loose on the floor in the passenger footwell going sideways round corners while it was on and being played by a mate. Down narrow country roads hitting potholes etc etc and that never went wrong. Why is the xbox so sensitive?

on the xbox the disk is not held in place it "floats"
whereas on ps2 it "clips" in and holds in place
think that sorta is the reason

Sony understand that men get violent when playing games if it all goes pear shaped Their testing team consists of 300 japs with Stella Artois dripped into them, and 500 pregnant women in a room set at 30 degrees
