OP. Take responsiblity for your carelessness, and move on. You may not think so now, but someday you'll find yourself in a loving, stable relationship with an ottoman or an armoire.

Dear Mr Argo,

RE: YOUR DOCKET NUMBER RIS 3115463

We thank you for your communications dated 15 May 2006 in relation to
your purchase of the mobile Laptop MKII Table.

A warning sticker, which is permanently affixed to the underside of the
desk/table top (which is visible in your video and would also have been
visible during assembly of the product), specifically instructs that
objects (ie a laptop) are to be removed from the top of the desk before
any adjustment is made.

Whilst we regret your dissatisfaction with the product and the
inconvenience you have described to us, as the warning label instructs,
the laptop should not have been on the table when it was adjusted.

The product has adequate warning with the intention of preventing an
occurrence such as this. As the product has not failed we are unable to
assist you with a damages claim.


Yours faithfully,



Nikki Palmer
Customer Service Manager
FREEDOM GROUP LTD


LMFAO. This thread has got me crying. That video was priceless. LOL. :D

this OP is a retard. does he think reposting eleventy billion times will do anything when he adjusted the table with the laptop on it? what a moron.

argZero: nobody cares, but you've made yourself to look like an idiot.

Seems to me that if it's being marketed as a "LAP TOP" anything and then it destroys a lap top while in use, well someone somewhere owes you a new lap top.

Lawyer up.

ok its real. i guess the OP is just a fvcking retard for having it on the table when he adjusted it.

i apologize for saying shens.

but the company should be at fault! they should have a disclaimer saying "no fvcking retards can buy this" that way the op would have known not to buy it!

IDIOT

People who want to cry about it on the internets. They feel misled because they didn't adequately search the product for a warning sticker.

I do agree on your last premise though.....


IDIOT

if it destroyed it while in use fine. but the OP had it sitting on it and ADJUSTED IT. you know moves around the top. thats where the op loses any grounds to complain

i have no sympathy for the op on this

exactly...

My memory stick came with a warning label on the neck strap (I don't use that) that stated it was for those 18 or over due to strangulation issues :confused:

I decide to start my manual transmission car in 1st gear on a dock, should I sue because my idiot self just plunged my ride into the sea?

Although this guy is obviously spamming, that does seem like a weird thing to not forsee while desigining a desk...
