I dig that site There are so many dumb-ass designs out there. The photo of the gas pump totally hits home. I always point out gas pumps to Sachi and how the most brightly colored and obvious buttons are the ones that are never used, like a big green "OK". There are few instances where you actually need press OK.

yeah, when I saw this I definalty related immediatly, I have troubles all the time at the AM/PM just around the corner, there are like 5 differnt things you have to do to get gas to come out. Also reminds me of all the different types of card readers now being used at the grocery store and such, press enter, no I mean OK, no the buttun under the word OK....

I love this picture btw.
