Please select the age and gender of each child in your household
Discussion
creator of this form has never heard of twins, triplets or even quadruples!
or
delivering child 1 in January, get pregnant in feb/march and having child 2 in December - according the form, they are again the same age.
Apparently this is a popular form. It was just posted last month.
I thought it looked familiar. I was filling out the form on Sago.
Happy cake day! 🍨
Thanks. Happy early cake day to you.
I have five girls, one set of twins, and I was just staring at this thinking about how it would take me 20 minutes to locate all of their ages and genders. Why are they at least not in age order or separated by gender?!
I think those are rare enough not to really matter here; and boy/girl twins are still covered. Certainly so many other things wrong here…
Even if you ignore that there are better ways to do this, still: - It's sorted in ASCII across the columns - It uses both boy and male for no reason - it uses both girl and female for no reason - it adds "teen" for no reason
What else?
Graduate from girl to “female” at age 13
The sorting ascii made me make that "eww wtf" face at the screen. Then I saw the sorted across the columns and wanted to slap someone.
"None of the above" is only in one column, that could confuse some people.
The Boy/Male, Etc is a switch at Teenage for some reason.
Boys and Girls are 1-12, MaleTeen/Female Teen at 13+
Whoever did this is sick in the head I tell you what
I can think of a million stupid ways to do this better
Great example of mildly infuriating!
And crappy design all in one
So under 13 is girl/boy and over is female/male. Why the need to do that? Some teens get insulted if called girl/boy and want to be also referred as teens?
Not for the programmer, it’s just ASCII, left to right, top to bottom. It doesn’t get easier.
Lol it's sorted alphabetically. So the numbers are too, 1, 10, 11, 12, 2 etc
Each column has been sorted alphabetically, how ridiculous
Oh no, it's reading left to right. First word alphabetical, with numbers ascending. Someone didn't think about how that would affect the numbers or the fact they differentiated young children from teens lol
Lol, even worse
I'm sure there's an easier way; right?
Jesus. We learned better ways to do it in middle school
Just click a few random boxes.
It's a test of compliance. Not really. Just horribly horribly designed. But, if anyone willingly filled that out, you could likely have them submitting their full name, birthdate, and SSN for the next questions.
Aside from the obvious shitshow in the naming and sorting of the options: what if you have twins?
Thats a serious contestant for the baduibattles subreddit
Welp, someone doesn't know how to sort.
It is sorted. It's alphabetical, left to right.
Why is it not in numerical form
AI generated code will do this for you.
It generated whatever it has found the most. And what it finds the most, is code created by people who know very little or needed "something simple".
And next generation of AI will be trained on this slop, so it will get worse.
I cannot. Nope.
Did a backend developer make this??? 😭
Unfortunately the norm on surveys for points or $.
Pwople with twins are sweating.
definitely fits into arr slash softwaregore
Well, they technically are in order. But the way it has been done is so crappy I can't even fathom how it was approved, or even checked.
✨UI/UX design is my passion✨
Reminds me of the time I had to scroll through each month of every year to get to my dad’s birth day and year. Had to scroll through every month from 2024 to the 1950s. Insane
This look’s like a pedo’s dark web order
WTF?!
Ahh, the MS Windows school of ordering.
What the hell...
what if you have twins? 🤣
what if you have twin boys or girls?
It's like its in binary but not......holy software gore
FUGUIN WHY??:THIWVWHOLE POST LOOKES LIKE SOME PEDO FREAKS TRYING TO FILLBTHRIER ORDER... IN THIN SAD SAD WORLD.
There are so many better ways to do this. Drop-down menus, open text, age ranges. Literally anything but this checkbox jungle.
Checkboxes could work if they are grouped with any logic.
It's the computer alphabetical order you'll find in a file system. Instead of recognizing the numbers as numbers, it just puts it alphabetically.
So: Name Name1 Name10 Name2 Name23 Name4
Is how your file system will organize it. You get around it by adding 0s - so Name01, Name02, etc, so it'll put it in the correct place. But for something like this, the answer is not to have a check box for every single age, because this is the predicted result, and it's terrible.
And as long as you don’t have twins or triplets.
If this is for something like welfare it is meant to be as bad as possible to discourage applicants.
Atleast the checkboxes could be in fucking order?
