Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I'm thinking yesterday I’m due or overdue a healthcare appointment. 50 mins ago my phone vibrates, it’s a message from the practitioners advising me Ive been scheduled for this appointment now on Tuesday at 11am. Less than 48 hours notice.

Sounds like a cancellation and someone decided to fit me in..no problem with that…ok…. However I DO expect considering the very short notice that they might have picked up the phone, called me and just asked if it was suitable and if I can make it.. as opposed to just , ‘ your next appointment IS ‘…

My phone (5+ years old) is most definitely not AI enabled and it still does that. Yesterday it auto-corrected "new" to "née" on me. Because that's absolutely the more commonly used of the two, like 🙄

It's nothing to do with AI, it's just poor predictive text functionality.

Related TA: that my phone is most definitely on its way out and I'm going to have to buy a new one soon. It won't hold a charge for love nor money any more.

Just reading the thread I realise my phone is 14 years old . A year older than my eldest child .

My ~ 6 year old Tumble Dryer Committed Suicide the other day - red spanner symbol glowing when i turn it on and beep beep beep

My Candy Fridge is on suicide watch. This piece of junk is about six years old too.

It might retaliate like something out of a Stephen King novel then :D

Or when the piece of foil is too strong to break through easily and you end up breaking the pill in half.

• a homewear / DIY website, im looking for price of something quickly but the pop ups as soon as I go onto the site…

• prompt popping up wanting my email address…..prompt popping up for me to enter a discount code.

• ‘chat widget’ box pops up so I can have my questions misunderstood / misinterpreted by AI. cookies ‘accept all‘ and all that comes in at some point…

• I can’t use any facet of their site without multiple clicks on ‘ok’ for each of the above on their un-reactive POS of a website that still thinks it’s stuck in 2004. Thing is I want to order some rope , if I could have ordered it I’d probably considered hanging myself with it such is the ordeal. 👀🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m supposed to be going on a three day holiday abroad this weekend with friends and I’m dreading it. I just feel like I’ll be totally out of my comfort zone. I’m seriously thinking of just visiting the parent’s instead for a couple of days and having some lone time while out on my mountain bike.

yet another electric dental flosser has bit the bullet. 💀. This my 4th. They all have lasted between about 12/13/14 months…. I can’t recall what I paid but it was around €110 I think… so would be nice or expected to get maybe 2 years or at least 18 months out of one…..with all the others the motor just wore out but this one the speed regulator or whatever it’s called did… so it’s at a constant ultra high pressure way beyond it’s max designed setting regardless of where you set the dial….so teeth / gums / implant could be damaged potentially but at best it’s uncomfortable to use.

Thats every work Xmas night out for me!

Driving down the road and seeing a D registered Hyudai Tucson in your rear view mirror.

Even tough your doing nothing wrong.

It is ridiculous how many people don't understand the logic behind roundabouts. I recently pulled up a friend, who did her test in the late eighties, for not indicating at a roundabout. She had no clue and happily took my instructions. Now she is inordinately proud of being competent. Her excuse was that there were no roundabouts thirty odd years ago….in Dublin?

Small bread in the toaster, it doesn't come up out of the slot when it pops and you end up burning your fingers trying to get it out.

Tonight’s visit to a certain warehouse chemist retailer.. in fairness a big restock was underway but I had to leave without 3 of the 4 things I went there to purchase…..

No… Waterpik dental flossers, not one of the variants, portable or the plug in one, neither.

No… Variation of the vitamin supplements that I take. By any of the drug manufacturers… a chemist without a whole varient of a particular vitamin… like a corner shop not stocking white bread. Bizarre.

No… particular eyedrops that my Dad uses.

If you are going to open till 9pm have stuff people want and need.. otherwise it’s pointless…eyedrops and vitamins in particular are everyday healthcare needs. Not optional.

Tesco bread rolls are 1.euro 20 cent , I notice they are now about 30 per cent smaller . Shrinkflation. . i.d prefer if they just put the price up to 1.50 and leave the size as is
