Hey leave me out of this.
The only headwear that should be worn on a golf course is a Harris tweed flat cap, preferably in winter.
A couple today.
We buy a poly bag at work that we place an item in. The item has to be kept clean, it is a specialiased cleaning wipe, so it needs bagging somehow. We go through thousands per year and paper is not a viable alternative. We recently swapped to biodegradable bags but I have now discovered that this type, oxo degradable, are likely to be banned through the EU as they do not degrade as they are supposed to. They collapse but do not disintegrate. They end up as shreds of plastic bag. I thought I was doing good, apparently it is worse than leaving bags as a whole? I'm irritated because an industry has sold a false promise. It is meant to fully degrade, it doesn't.
My FiL. He wanted a new tv and so I found him a nice simple one and set it up for him on Friday. I removed the various connections and wires that were plugged in and serving no purpose on his old one, linked his Sky box via HDMI, bob's your uncle. No other connection required. TV worked perfectly. He sees my wife yesterday whilst I am playing golf, 'stupid tv isn't working'. He shoved some of the worthless wires back in, pressed buttons on the remote like a chimp trying to write Shakespeare on a typewriter and now it wont work. I spoke to him this morning to talk him through what to do but he wont listen. He presses the buttons he wants to press, not the ones I tell him to press. I'll have to go around now. He will tell me how it is stupid, how it doesn't work, how he has not pressed anything he shouldn't have. I will fix it in 5 seconds, listen again to how he did nothing wrong and then leave, having wasted 45 minutes of my life in the full round trip. (I have been there before, I know how this goes)

Going to the swimming pool at my gym this morning and finding someone doing a very slow breast stroke in the "Fast Lane", someone else bombing up and down the "Medium Lane" like Michael Phelps and someone else doing a medium paced front crawl in the "Fast Lane". Sigh.

Just like standard UK motorways....a couple of idiots in the outside lane hogging it and the whole thing snarls up just because they wont keep left.
It would do my nut in. Same problems over and over again, same mistakes etcSounds like you're ready for a job in the call-centre!

Step dad is a bit like that. He will ask for help on tech but when you try & help, he basically either doesn't listen or starts to argue the toss with what you are saying - deep breaths
It took me 5 seconds to resolve, a further 5 minutes to check everything, double check and show him over and over again how to press a single red buttonStep dad is a bit like that.

. As you say, deep breaths all round.
I'll give it 24 hours before he calls again!It took me 5 seconds to resolve, a further 5 minutes to check everything, double check and show him over and over again how to press a single red button
. It will be my fault again as well Jamesbrown

Horrid man, along with his cult followers who attempted to gatecrash the Hearts FC Poppy day fundraising.
Changing my hours to 7.00-3.00 to supposedly be able to catch up with nursing staff handing over from night duty to find the ones I needed to talk to handed over at 6.00 to the doctors and have gone home. Really struggling in the new role to get any form of cohesion as everyone working on shifts and it can be several days before I see anyone or get a response to queries raised not helped by any common sharing of information. Got to love the NHS and its efficient working practices

We’re undergoing a project to find easier ways to get messages our because certain staff just don’t see their emails. I can’t think of a more efficient way than email - but it’s getting shift staff to read their emails!
