re:how much you suck

Dear purveyors and sellers of empty boxes,

I would like to talk to you for a moment about how much I think you suck.

As Wikipedia summarizes it,

The basic standard commercial book sizes in the United States, always expressed as width x height, are: 4 1/4" x 7" (rack size paperback), 5 1/2" x 7 5/8" (digest size paperback), 5 1/2" x 8 1/4", 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 6 1/2" x 9 1/2", 7" x 10", and 8 1/2" x 11"

You do not make boxes with dimensions that are multiples of these sizes. No, that would make life too easy. Instead, you make boxes with dimensions such as 12" x 12", 16" x 12", and so on. Books do not fit in these boxes. Well, you can put books in these boxes, but then you have an empty corner left over that you're left trying to figure out how to fill.

So, thanks. Thanks a lot.
