The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    My apartment gym has a Nordictrack treadmill that I hate nearly every aspect of. First of all, it requires you login to use any of the programs, which doesn’t really work with 200 potential users. It has lost internet every single time I’ve used it and needs a restart, even though I use manual mode, the UI buttons are tiny and impossible to read while you’re running, and don’t respond correctly, and worst of all, there’s no goddamn place to put your phone so you can watch Netflix.

      You lost me at “login” on a treadmill lmao.

      Treadmills are already pretty niche considering walking/running is free.

      Why would you login to…a treadmill? Why would it need internet? So you can watch Netflix on the world slowest Public computer?

      The trend of having touch screens on things is horrible enough. We definitely jumped the shark with technology long ago
