Trivial Things that annoy you - Mod Note in OP

I got completely drenched coming home from David Byrne gig Sunday night… I had a tissue in my pocket, still in the plastic packet, that even got damp!

The only clothes that might be helpful are those big yellow waterproofs that fishermen wear !

I

I used to collect DVD's, still have thousands, but last time I watched a film I know I have I downloaded it in about 7 minutes and watched that instead.

I'm starting to wonder if I really need all those boxes full of DVD's

btw I can feel your pain as I've had that with boxed sets. Everything playing fine then one disc of the set won't play whatever you do (Stargate S04 iirc)

FFS whats up with the internet and web forms today?

Just wasted my time with an NBI survey. Took the time to answer honestly and even bothered to comment where requested about the survey then the next button gives me..

We apologise for the inconvenience. Please try again later.

As someone who has earned a living with a chainsaw I can whole heartedly agree with that.

However there are the odd times with a misbehaving 2 Stroke Engine that you need to give it a quick tweak on the trigger to stop it stalling.

Was never as wet as coming home from the David Byrne gig , completely soaked through.

Todays TA, getting shat on by a passing bird. Woman behind says that a sign of good luck, didn't feel fcuking lucky!

The lazy ESB Networks meter reader!

We saw him turn around in the drive, put something in the letter box then drive off.

In the letter box was the standard form "Sorry we missed you".

Visited that huge sports retailer in Ballymun, got all I needed and for a great price..the TA was despite a 17,000 square meter shop… one manned till. Im buying 11 items, and got a query so till bound..

Seconds after me giving over my stuff, till guy apologises, he’s off to help two girls having problems at a self service till, a big palaver with them leaves me standing for 4/5 minutes. They ended the transaction on same till so it’s not a faulty, lots of rescanning, instructional pointing, girls laughing but looking miffed as if someone asked them to pilot a space shuttle, bout 35, local, clueless. Hence I’m standing looking at a wall, despite having started my transaction with dopey hole, ehh why doesn’t he finish our transaction then go help the dipshïts ?

The new AI on my phone is pedantic af, making it impossible for a visual person like me to ask a q without having to correct its assumption for ages first!

See also AI's that make imo weird assumptions about the subject matter, eg when asked to locate the closest outlet for x in a specific area it came back with online options!

Amazon - why do you deliberately persecute me?

Yesterday you changed the Icon on the tab for you web pages to orange.

The SAME orange as Temu!

As soon as I get into the shower and turn it on, my phone rings and of course it's just out of reach.

I ordered something from an Irish supplier yesterday morning.
I get an email with tracking and "a shipment from your order it on its way"

Except it isn't. The DPD status is at "Awaiting Parcel" and has been for 24 hours.

It is only a TA as it is not urgent.
