Had to take the batteries out of the carbon monoxide alarm there earlier, as the constant beeping was beginning to make me feel really dizzy.

Google taking over the whole internet: Youtube, Android, countless apps.
Storing every search you ever made, every website you ever visited, every YT vid you have watched. Making a mint selling your info to data miners and advertisers.
Even if you don't use Google search engine or products, they have their trackers on millions of websites anyway. :mad:

Is there no antitrust law for the internet to stop a company getting too much power and control?

I ordered something online and was looking forward to getting it on Monday and then I remembered it was a Bank Holiday!

My tea cups have an indentation in the base. When I take them out of the dishwasher there is always a little pool of water in the indentation.

just internet corporations ensuring that their hydraulic powered iron grip keeps up with the tiny amount of privacy wriggling, in case they get pushed back to only 99.998% control.

No burning of fossil fuels or household waste, but firepits are ok.

Changed my car a few mths ago and there are hardly any places in it to put stuff - just the sides of the front doors and i glove compartment.. its soo annoying - my previous car had loads of little nooks in it for putting stuff.. under the steering wheel, both sides of the radio, 2 glove compartments.. another space under that.. as well as sides of doors... I don't get it.. both cars are the exact same make and model - just years apart in age.. ffs.. obv didn't think of this when buying it (even if I did, I don't know if I would let that influence my chioce)..
Nevertheless.. months later and it still realllly annoys me :mad:
(phew - felt good to get that off my chest - great thread OP)

I was tearing a page and sliced my finger.
Blood everywhere, I have knives that don't cut as efficiently.
And using sanitiser all the time means lots of stinging too.

Went to a health care professional yesterday(they have a long waiting list)
All the usual huffing and puffing about how I should have come in earlier and all the damage etc etc etc.

I mention that I was told they were closed to non emergency clients during the lockdowns, tec said, no we were open while continuing to huff and puff at me.

TA I didn't have the email telling me they were closed to non emergency cases and how long the waiting list was for selective services!

Spent €960 over that past two weeks getting my 10 year old car ready for the NCT (and timing belt done). Felt a certain amount of satisfaction on Friday that a long list of things had been sorted and the car would hopefully last another year. It’s a big 7 seater, and I really don’t want to be buying another one now.

Today the bonnet release cable snapped. Can’t open the bonnet, so they won’t be able to test it. It’ll be another trip to the garage now on Tuesday, hoping they can fit me in before the test.

Put out the green and brown bins this morning, outside our gate. The black bin was only one third full so left it in driveway.

Came home from shopping about 45 minutes to discover the black bin was also emptied. Can't understand why. Doubt it was a neighbour - was a wet morning and generally people here don't stir till after 9 at the weekend. Annoying because it means being charged for an unnecessary lift.

Surreptitious

My slippers are in the wash so I put on my old ones and they are busted and flat. It's like walking on the ground without anything.

My dentist has a battleaxe on reception. I'll have to go encounter her again next week

Always very crabby and borderline rude with customers. I went for a appointment once and she said I was half an hour early. I said no, this is the right time. She got crabbed and said 'NO this is NOT the right time, you've made a mistake, and now you'll just have to wait'.
I was right though - she gave me the little card with time of the appointment wrote on it last time I was in. I forgot to take it with me, God I would have loved to have shown it to her and put her nose out of joint.

Another time I was paying her €50 but two of the notes were sort of stuck together so as I was walking off she shouted at me 'Hold on, come back here! I said 50!' The people in the waiting area all gawked at me like I was trying to pull a fast one. By the time I walked back to her she had seperated the notes. Did she say 'sorry about that'? Did she heck, she just dismissed me with a curt 'never mind' and turned away.

Oh the wagon :mad: Only for the dentist is so good I would go somewhere else.

TA when certain online vendors reject payments because your card will expire in the next month or two and ask you to update your card details but you can't because the bank will wait until last minute to send the new one out

I feel your pain. I got my car two years ago, the garage where I got it is run by a bunch of cowboys (fraudsters would be a more correct term), they damaged the car and tried to hide it and pretended to fix issues that were never sorted. I tried to bring it to different garages to get it serviced properly considering that last year it was due its NCT, one of them confirmed the appointment but point blank refused to service the car once I got there.
I managed to get someone else to change oil and filter, then this year I went for a "normal" mechanic, not associated to the car brand or the garage. He's already cancelled 4 appointments. I'm beyond fuming. And no, the car is not called Christine. First scrappage deal that comes along and I'll take it. It's a shame because it's probably something easily sorted, if only someone bothered to actually look at it, the car is relatively new.

This bad habit delivery drivers now have of leaving a package on your doorstep and just walking off. At least ring the bell before you go like, it takes no extra effort :rolleyes:

My doctor's surgery had one of this type. I used to actually dread getting her on the phone. All the others were nice, and helpful.

Practice was bought out a few years ago, and she had to undergo a personality transplant. She really had a little kingdom of her own, previously, and boy did she relish the power.
