A cooking show where the cook makes something, takes a taste (or someone else takes a taste), and says "This stuff is terrible!". What would you like to see?
1) A 2 hour NASCAR race on TV that you don't hear the phrase: "I'll tell you what.".
2) Calling a help desk line and instead of getting "Due to the popularity of our product you may experience long wait times" ,it just told the truth like "Wow! We really screwed this up and everyone is calling in with problems, it's gonna be a while"...
3) A story on the nightly news that is coming up "next" and it really does ..
4) a 5-in1 tool that actually is all five in one..
5) A car thats good on gas, fun to drive and doesnt have pole-bearer handles on the sides..
6) A Johnny Dep movie were he doesn't have eye liner on.
7) Larry King stand up at his desk so I can be sure that he is wearing pants, not just suspenders and a speedo.. (eeeehhww) []
8) Have a cashier tell me that something is going on sale tomorrow rather than "..it was on sale last week".
9) A car wash soap that doesn't make it rain later that night.

"Why are there Braille codes on drive-up ATM machines?"
About 35 years ago, I went to a local Sears store to buy my first Craftsman router. The salesman told me to come back the next day when the router I had chosen would be on sale. He gave me his card, and I did. That was a very good router and it gave me years of trouble free service. That was when Craftsman made really good tools.
Aren't you all forgeting Phil Donahue as the referee?
Let's see, on my list, an evening, when ALL America turns off the tube, goes out and meets the neighbors and spends time with the family.
A customer service representative, in ones own country, so you could understand them. Then when you ask what should be common knowledge for someone who deals with this product, they don't need the model numbers to read from a script. DAMHIK
I think this thread could probably equal the song thread in length.
She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.
I work in a 7-11 and lately I have had a hard time dealing with the college students being rude and making HUGE messes and then expecting me to clean up after them like I am their mother or something and then just stand there laughing.
So I guess what I would like to see is for people to treat us working stiffs that work in convience stores and other jobs like it, be it customer service, store clerk, auto shops etc. etc., with some respect and maybe just once in a while say please and thank you.

Iceland used to outlaw tv three nights a week during the winter (maybe still does) so people would play chess, read, perpetuate Icelandic culture.
I'd like to see some anchors on cable tv news shows say, "I jumped the gun, over-reacted, and blew [whatever] out of all proportions. I really acted like a boob."
Speaking of which, one of the Fox shows yesterday apparently ran a feed of a local story about that golf cart going off a cliff and the anchor said, "he was lucky to live through that" followed by a voice saying, "uh, he didn't, Steve."

Earlier this year I went to Sears to order a dishwasher. Not only did I get the salesman's card to come back during the Sears Day sale, but he found a slightly better model that qualified for the Energuide sales tax rebate. All for less than I was originally budgeted to spend. Believe it or not, the salesperson on duty the day I returned made a point of entering the order under the original salesman's number (I had the card stapled to a printout of what we had agreed on).
