So I went to the bar this afternoon and I wanted to make some bets to transform my 4€ into 800€ or 1000€ so I approached the betting machine. This betting machine happens to work with a touchscreen instead of buttons and it worked awfully (I had to tap the touch screen various times for it to recognize the commands and it would sometimes detect the touch slightly above or slightly to the right of the part of the screen I was touching). Because of these problems I ended up betting for Cardiff City instead of Arsenal, making my bet a waste of money since it's a fact that Arsenal is going to win that match.
I fucking hate touchscreens and motion controls, I want my technology to have buttons and joysticks and stuff that is actually responsive and precise. Fuck touchscreens!

I agree,These godforsaken touchscreens screwed me over when i took the driving exam,TWICE in fact.

Capacitive touchscreen master race.

They have touchless soup dispensers, why not touchless touchscreens? These stupid people working at the Amazon and Microkia say they're innovating, but they're not doing SHIT to revolutionise technology.

I agree, we need to go back to all buttons

I bought a pair of touchscreen smart shoes that relies on Xbox Kinect and they automatically used my credit card to invest in some random subprime mortgage bitcoin nonsense. Then, when I tried to turn them off, they kicked open my window and ran away like the Invisible Man was messing with me.

wtf
i am a touchscreen in real life

we got ourselves a new target for the shooting range boys

No matter how much technology evolves, a good ol physical button always is superior to a touchscreen.

If we get rid of buttons entirely, how is one going to perform half an A press? It just won't be the same on a touchscreen.

Some chucklefuck at Hunter Engineering decided that a touchscreen was a good idea for use in their tire changing machine

They at least realized that when I'm wearing gloves or have grease all over my hands I can't work a normal touchscreen, so they made the thing use lasers instead. Now it interprets commands when I'm nowhere near the machine, then suddenly stops taking any input at all until I reset the whole thing, making a ten minute job take twenty. Fuck this touchscreen.
Rest of the machine works great though, highly recommend.

After managing to get a refund from the touchscreen shoes and a new credit card, I decided to buy a touchscreen salt shaker instead. Yet there were somehow worst than the shoes. The whole handle is a giant rotating touchscreen that reacts when you slightly touch it. That means it goes apeshit, spewing salt all over my meals and for some reason it manages to spew out pepper and glitter, despite the fact I never loaded any of that in the shaker.

After spending a hour of eating pure sodium that dried out my insides to the point of near dehydration, I tried to get it returned to the store where none of the workers have a single clue on what I was trying to get refunded. When I insisted that I was returning a salt shaker, the manager told me that the salt shaker was actually a sex toy.

Seeing some looks from people around him, I tried to take the damn thing to a ditch to destroy until someone from behind me kicks my crotch and knocks me out. When I woke up, I saw that my whole wallet was stolen, including my new credit card. And they didn't bother to take the salt shaker! I did managed to see who was running away with my wallet, though.

It was those fucking touchscreen shoes. Someone PM if you see them. I'm going to get myself a touchscreen shotgun. If the aimbot doesn't shot me, however!

"buy a touchscreen salt shaker instead."

"someone from behind me kicks my crotch and knocks me out. When I woke up, I saw that my whole wallet was stolen, including my new credit card."
