Random Irritations

Then he will get an even longer message asking why he didn't just listen to the first message, plus a repeat of the first message

Rinse and repeat.
I sometimes get voice messages from my daughters. The reply is always the same......phone me or message me

My wife, several times a day: goes out to her car leaving front door open.
"Why don't you just close it?"
"'Cos I was coming back in,".
Or, comes in leaving door open.
As above, but the reply is
"'Cos I'm going back out".
This whilst checking the heating control several times a day.

DHL.

They have tried three times to deliver a package, each time they failed to deliver because of ‘insufficient address information’. I am aware that the despatching company did not put the house number on the address. Not DHL’s fault, but can I get in touch with a human to correct the error? ……can I hell. I’ve tried all the tricks that are available but they seemed determined that a human will not be involved.

Their software now informs me that they are going to deliver tonight………not without a house number they’re not.

Sometimes I wish there was more - like the golf myth one that has been the same posts on repeat for weeks.

Or maybe I should wise up to this and not pop back in hoping there was a different view being presented

Which one?

The World Cup one is closed for further comments. Did I miss something whilst looking for my ball in the pond on our 6th.

With the comments on there that were not about the WC, a good call by the mods.

They didn’t turn up.

I did an overseas online meeting earlier, Teams for the geeks amongst you. I was outnumbered 5-1 but I was the only one with my camera on. I don't know if that was attempted psychological warfare but I stood (or sat) firm . Poor though, if you ware doing an online meeting, get your camera on.

If I had my camera on they’d know how crap my putting is.

When I am asked to attend a Teams meeting, I always ask have they got Covid.

Meeting format which allows many to be downright lazy.

In person meetings are more often than not a complete waste of time. More so if people need to travel to be there. Teams saved me untold hours of sitting on a motorway and is actually beneficial for being able to focus on the matter at hand. They also tend to be much shorter and more to the point.

That said, most meetings are a complete waste of time and are used to fill someone’s diary so they look busy.

We can now get free visas to China, hmm that’s a tough one China, USA or Russia. Looks like Skegness has edged it.

I bought some new sellotape yesterday.

I immediately saw that there was a nice set of blue arrows on the tape and automatically assumed that was the beginning of the tape and the arrows indicated the direction it would peel off.

Three minutes later I'm still struggling to get the tape "started".

In frustration, I look more closely and about 3cm from the end of the arrows I spot the actual start of the tape....and it peeled off in the opposite direction.

NSF coil spring snapping after driving over a water filled pot hole!
That's no work for a few days .................. an expensive by product of the shocking state of our roads.

Turns out that it wasn't just the coil spring!
It also needed a new top mount and shock absorber.
A lot more expensive than I originally feared, plus the loss of three days possible work.

Disagree strongly, nobody needs to see my face in order to hear my words. Camera stays off unless someone specifically asks to have them on.

If you’re having a meeting where everyone is contributing then cameras should be on.

Rain forecast every day for the next fortnight. Feels like it’s rained every day for the last fortnight as well. Got royally soaked at golf yesterday and looks like the same will happen tomorrow. Sick of the stuff.
