When you enter a password wrong, enter another one on the second try, and the browser pops up a window asking "Want to update the info for this account?"

Well hold up, foxy, let's see if this one sticks or not!

the calculator app in windows 10 takes 1-2 seconds longer to launch than ye olde windows calculator. it's absurd how much this irritates me.

For me, today, fucking socks. Why can't I find good socks? Why do these shits have to slide down all the time? Why are all socks that go above your ankle apparently made for people with pipe cleaner legs? Why do sock companies hate cotton?

the tall/narrow format for some mass-market paperbacks. I don't understand why it exists, I hate it, I want it to stop.

The tall shelf in the refrigerator should be for the things that need to be on the tall shelf. Short things - especially short, wide things, like a tub of hummus - should be on the shorter shelves, else they eat up the space one needs for e.g. milk.

The Starbucks I go to has changed their lids so that the second smaller hole that is supposed to let air in when you take a sip is so small that I have to, like, treat the main drinking hole like a straw. And, sometimes, it's like the machine that was supposed to pierce that smaller hole didn't get to the lid that they gave me so there's no way I'm getting the amount of coffee I actually want when I take a sip.

Austin, Sunday, 28 May 2017 16:45 (seven years ago) link

drives me crazy too

protip- i keep an old ballpoint pen handy for this reason, so i can punch the smaller hole through if needed

I was trying to use one of my keys that has a smallerish tooth on it, but that was ultimately even more frustrating.

I almost made a complaint about it this morning.

I am currently having this issue but with underwear. Why is all mens underwear really comfortable with soft wide elastic that doesnt curl up or dig in, but YOU CANNOT FIND THIS IN WOMENS UNDERWEAR. It is INSANE. Even so called "boyleg" knickers are still tiny scraps of material with SMALL TIGHT ITCHY ELASTIC.

People who draw on their vast experience of buying records they heard on the radio 20-30 years ago to let you know that "there's just no good new music these days."
Suspect I am far from the first ILXor whose buttons this presses, hard.

ugh I'm so tired of hand-wringing white people on social media. On FB thread a bunch of writers posting tributes to Denis Johnson, when the inevitable dunce posts "I'm only seeing white voices here. I feel like I'm in an exclusively white space. I need to hear what writers of color thought of Denis Johnson's work."

This makes me IA for some reason - online newspapers going nuts for some Twitter cunt recycling a years old story, gullible idiots posting it on FB, etc

Probably hits some kind of Fake News button given the current political situation.

Tweets are from last week - is this someone making up a story thats happened before (or never happened at all)?

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 2 June 2017 05:52 (seven years ago) link

But yeah mob revenge mentality generally online is really getting to me lately. Especially when people get it damn wrong (reposting years old articles, believing BS without checking snopes or something).

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 2 June 2017 05:53 (seven years ago) link

It probably never happened but the exact same story went round 5 years ago and a couple of times since then e.g. http://iwastesomuchtime.com/39935

While we are talking horn honking, I hate it when someone too far to see the intersection starts honking at the stopped traffic, even though there is a wheelchair/old lady/group of little kids slowly crossing the intersection and everyone is stopped and waiting for a reason. So you, asshole in the back, first assume everyone is stopped for a reason. And then, give them a few seconds, jeez. You dick.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 3 June 2017 13:23 (seven years ago) link

People who honk angrily at stalled cars that are pulled off to the side of road and flashing their hazard lights. I don't get the point of this since wouldn't you assume the car's owner would like to get moving?

the playing of long-necked lutes in adverts for insurance

mark s, Monday, 5 June 2017 17:05 (seven years ago) link

That lute is not historically accurate for the period of the founding of London, nor for the founding year of that insurance company, nor for whatever period is supposed to be evoked by a swan-shaped paddleboat. And none of it goes with his outfit. So what the actual royal fuck?

i really really REALLY fucking hate it when companies do something incredibly obvious that they should have done years ago and say "we listened":

You asked (a lot). We listened. Amazon Prime Video is coming to the TV App and all Apple TVs this year.

christ i hate that kind of corporate twitterspeak, it's always something like that or this

"Hey. We admit it. We screwed up. And to make up for it, for the next six hours, we're taking 10% off all online orders. And shipping is free."

i'm also IA about most comedy movies lately, they all seem to cast from the same pool of ten people and are all about suburban squares getting turnt or just generally losing their shit -- 'office christmas party', 'horrible bosses', 'rough night', 'sisters', 'neighbors', the forthcoming release 'the house' (w/of course will ferrell and amy poehler), any number of others. i guess this has been a trend for awhile but damn i don't need to see any movies like this again nor any of these people in any movie again.

I'm pissed that no local stores carry the 4 kg bag of Purina Dog Chow anymore, and if Purina has discontinued that size, I'm pissed at them.

First of all, when did you move to Canada? Because even though you're speaking English and your time stamp matches mine, there's some funny "kg" gibberish popping up in your post.

Second, you make a valid point. What is going on here?

4lb bag costs 6 dollars

So does an 8 lb bag (a little less than 4kg) = $12?

No, but the the 16.5 lb bag is only $12.50!

It pisses me off that weather forecasts vary so much. Weather channel telling me low 90s this weekend. Some other app I have calling for almost 110! I assume no one is outright inventing the numbers, and have to be getting the numbers from somewhere, so why do the forecasts differ so much?

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 8 June 2017 12:20 (seven years ago) link

I'm pretty pissed that we're 8 days into June and I still have to wear a fucking jacket outside.

I wore long pants yesterday. This weekend we're planning for the pool, if it's not too hot.

The local newspaper shop has new weekend staff. They have given me the wrong change the last 6 times I've been in there. I'm embarrassed to go in there again. (Yesterday for example, i got 1.10 change from a fiver for a 2.90 paper. Sometimes they give me too much, but that's easier to fix)

And today I have a voucher for the observer, it'll blow their tiny minds.

People who don't dedicate themselves to the line and just hover all over the place. Especially when it's not a short line either. Are you in the fucking line or not, you dimwitted asshole?

My memory stick appears to be dying after 6 months use.
Have noticed it is over heating, Or is at least really really hot.
It's the one that I was complaining about being too small a few months ago. I'm just realising taht heat may be down to there not being any way for it to cool down because it is so small, not sure though. Is that true of every memory stick anyway?

But programmes I'm watching on it are just cutting out at random points which I'm assuming is related to it overheating.
I'll be in the middle fo somebody speaking and it will just cut out and restart.

Shame since it was a 32GB thing which was useful.

Now got a new larger thing but it seems to be taking forever for things to load to it.
I'm getting stuck with single tv programme files claiming that they are going to take 15 hours to transfer which is ridiculous.

May have gone down a technology generation in what I bought locally. USB 2 not 3 but that can't be right.
