A six peg mop head?

Dear Sirs,

For you only could be.

No woman would be mean enough to make mopping the house such a filthy dark hour in our weeks.

I mean really boys? How hard can it be!?

At least I have something to mop the bitter tears of anger each time I forgetfully purchase your product.

Just not with the mop refill on the head as I shall explain presently.

My list of issues is thus:

1. Is it two pegs or four pegs!!!!???

FFS figure it out.

Does the manufacturer in China actually have the specs or did you fax a napkin with a pen sketch through after a boozy lunch on Southgate?

It’s only a matter of time before some smiling exec in a $399 Suit Warehouse jobbie suggests you follow the lead of the disposable razor makers and up the peg count to 6 or 8.

“More is better” he’ll say.

That’s what his Friday-best polo shirt says.

Heaven help us then.

2. Whaddya mean “avoid bleach”?

Are other people using spit and elbow grease?

Grand Designs is on in 65 minutes and twitter DEMANDS I join in [hashtag nongs hashtag architecture hashtag woahugly]

My cat insists I use home brand lemon bleach to cover the slight mange in his coat. He has pussy to impress.

3.  Changing the mop head configuration every 6 months.

Make up your minds.

Or have you figured out the refill pack lasts 5 months so we need to buy a new mop every time.

Bastards.

Sincerely,

etc etc

 

This picture has no relation to the content above. I wanted to flip the bird and Kristen was on page one of an image search. But how hot is she anyway. Bet she never mops. Male fans lick her floor clean for her. Yep. that’s gotta be the case.

THE CRUEL MARKET.

Sharks hate it when you poke their eyes. Sometimes.

Great post-it from Doug Savage at savagechickens.com

My cat already gets this service from me. Just not on one 'tree'.

Amber Case interview [part 1]

I spoke to Cyborg Anthropologist and creater of Geoloqi recently for Byte Into It on Triple R. Here is the first of three parts on technology, interface, communication and bots (plus plenty else besides)

There is some wonkiness in the movie quality 0:00 – 0:15 (skype->Quicktime->YouTube nuttiness) but stay close, it’s worth it!

The internet loves you

Everything will be A OK.

It’s not easy to change what we’ve always done.

As our feet leave the floor every night for the last time we are all much the same: tired and wired, scared and courageous, content and restless.

To place your feet on the floor the next day and determine to do things differently is rare and to be admired. Because we can always do better but it will always mean swimming upstream.

To all the people who look after brands for a time and wake up determined to love the internet a little more I say thank you. And so does the internet.

You will be rewarded upstream of your problems.

Every day people are paying in kindness and receiving it back in kind. A comment, a thought, a song or video or picture. A new way to solve an old problem. And if your brand is willing to do the same. To pay in kindness it will also receive kindness.

A forum has ever existed for us to congregate in such large numbers with such a fine balance between corporate imperatives and consumer choice. Where subtle manipulations of recognisable dynamics can have such clear benefits to everybody.

But nobody at a brand ever got let go for recommending what was used last time. And so being risk averse by nature, it is easier to reap the small rewards with no risk than to go for the big prize with a brave heart.

But if you have courage today, speak to your people or ring up your agency and ask them to pay some extra kindness in to the internet. Just see what happens.

You just might be astounded. You might find your future. I’ll be there to pay you some kindness.
