Reply to comment by Bkwrzdub in My company provided me a brand new laptop with a user manual DVD. The laptop does not have a DVD player. by kalutheace

Dafuq you talking about? I've prepped hundreds of HP G6/G8 (this laptop, or similar). Every single one of them has this CD in the box, and I usually don't bother removing it before repacking and giving it to a new employee. HR has nothing to do with it, so you're on some weird tangential crusade.

If OP got the whole laptop box, that makes sense. If someone handed him the laptop, it was probably a new guy who didn't know to just throw the CD away.

Can't say for sure why HP does it, but there's probably a requirement for them to ship a manual with each product, and a CD is probably a cheaper way to fulfill that requirement.

Probably old impulsive people or people who were raised really poor etc This looks like something my dad would do...

He painted out house number on the house or fence a few times when he expected someone important to visit and was afraid they won't find our house. Or even wrote whole messages on a wooden plank and put it in front of the house "Darek, drop the hay next to the coal" or something

One other thing that came to my mind rn.. One time he wrote the guarantee dates of different devices on the TV, fridge, stove, washing machine... WITH A PERMANENT MARKERRRR.. when it was already past the date.

Damn dad.. 😩 Some people are just like that..
