THE TOP TEN LEAST USED THINGS IN FED

by Jezz

It was when a few Fedizens were chatting about the five and a half inch floppies they have kept around their houses (presumably in case they come back into fashion or perhaps to use as coasters) that I began to wonder what the least used things might be. Of course, I first thought of Zand's ship, but he assured me that he had taken it off the blocks and ran it over to Sol not all that long ago. Fortunately, several people had ideas about what might qualify for... The Top Ten Least Used Things in Fed.

10. The executive washroom key. It seems not many get caught short at the admin building.
9. The Cantina on Earth and the Traders Lounge. I think they've laid off some of the staff.
8. The cab from the hospital. Apparently nobody wants to pay the fare after they've just had to shell out for insurance.
7. The OUT door at Chez Diesel. Some people have obviously made it in but haven't managed to leave in months.
6. The weapons that adventurers buy for their shiny new ship. Probably for the best there.
5. The gym on Selena. We would use that too but the thought of getting in the ship and driving over there is exhausting enough.
4. The mirror on Mars. Some people are too afraid to go looking for it and the ones that have found it have warned the others.
3. The correct PIN for the ATM behind the Sun. Well we would use it, if only we could!
2. The warning signs on the doors on Titan. Yes they are there, but somehow we seem to fail to use them as a warning.

And of course, you all knew this was coming. The number one least used thing in Fed is...

1. The Manual!


Many thanks to Dingbat, Tenabutter, Zand and Otamusima for their ideas and for not going "comms off" when I mentioned the top ten. There were many more ideas but I was assured the rope and the sex-change clinic had been used recently. Nobody mentioned whether it was at the same time.
