Is that "Insert" button PURPOSELY put where it is on the keyboard to drive people insane?



I have NEVER wanted to use it (I don't even think it's a useful option) - - but it is SO close to buttons we DO need to use that I accidentally hit it relatively often and I'm then, like, "Wth? Where are all my letters going?"

:)

    I think the caps lock key is the most inconvenient key (the insert key on my keyboard is up by the F12 key - completely out of the way)

    You're right, Shuhak. The 'Insert' button is quite a bit over on that side, and up, but I forgot to mention I'm a pretty bad typist -  my fingers tend to travel, ha. I surely get annoyed, though. And I hit that 'Insert' way more often than the Caps lock one. But that Caps Lock is annoying, too.

    I bet I'm a worse type than you.  Even typing with one finger (per hand), I keep hitting the caps lock, the shift and the Alt keys.  However, I type so fast that when I hit as letter, my finger is still on one of those stupid keys and weird things happen (not to mention that none of the words are spelled correctly).

    UGH

    "Insert" is there to give people something to chuckle about. I too find it to be a useless feature and can't understand why it exists.

    Here is another for you... "Scroll Lock"
    I NEVER use that option EVER!

    I don't even know what "Scroll Lock" might do.
    I'll make sure to avoid it! Ha!

    Ha!
    I am honestly telling you the truth here - - in my first reply to you, I was going to say "Scroll Lock" sounds like it might be a hot gay porn move/act! Let alone, "scr lk"!!
    Ha!

  • While y'all play with those ridiculous minor keys I'm gonna make use of the one that matters most.  The one that says "CONTROL".  Because I love control, and I own all you beeotch-boyz!  LOL!

    I like both of the pictures you've used here. I think I saw a different one a second ago. Both are great.
    :)

    EDIT: I'm talking about the boy leaning over and tying skate. And another one had a group by a streetlight.

    Sorry about the change, you are correct, Welby. I did remove that. It didn't work in the context of the post, but here it is again. It is a great picture so I am reposting it for you!

  • Well since this thread is now morphing

    I love this photo from my extensive collection...

    HAHAHA!!!
    Look at those little thugs. OMG 
    That picture is nothing short of OUTSTANDING!
    I'm a little irritated that neither of those little sh*ts has a toasted Coconut bar!
    I love how you can pretty much determine the dynamics of this "gang" and the roles each of these little guys play:

    From left to right:
    The Hothead, the Genius, the Ring leader, and the Organizer/planner?2nd in command
    lol
