Two recently-discovered blogs that have me alternating between "Okay, that's pretty awesome" and "Oh my god what is WRONG with you people?!?":

http://thereifixedit.com

http://notalwaysright.com

I recommend them both to you. Because you know you have way too much free time.

I like notalwaysright.com - it's like bash.org outside of the chatrooms...

Glad you enjoy it! :D

I read notalwaysright.com as a balance to consumerist.com. Together they remind me that people and companies are stupid. :)

Sometimes I am astonished that things like cars and agriculture exist at all.

I think a significant fraction of the stories probably involve people who are either mentally ill or really, really high.

But I also wonder if some of them aren't just space aliens. How is it possible to reach adulthood without learning some of the things they seem not to know?

My inner engineer is never sure whether to laugh or cry at There I Fixed It. Good stuff.

[dr-tectonic.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly!

I need a garage door.

There are some of them that I think "oh, surely that's made up", and then there are the ones that can't be because nobody would make that up, it makes no sense!

Wait. Am I seeing right? Their bookmark icon thingee for There, I Fixed it, is the logo of Captain Hammer, Corporate Tool? Wow.

Not Always Right is one I peruse daily.

I agree with the comment that many seem to involve customers who are mentally ill or otherwise impaired, and those can be a little sad. But others are pretty amusing. I think the best ones are the ones where a customer, in the middle of an abusive rant, realizes that he is completely in the wrong, and has made a huge scene. These usually end with "and runs out of the store".

I also recommend passiveaggressivenotes.com

This was almost a ROFL for me. This looks like lurid digs for fix it up.
