As am I, the kid's an absolute sweetheart. I just laughed because I forgot about the laundry until late, hoped someone had noticed, and found out that yes they had. No worries at all, this just seemed the closest thread.
On social media these days (I know) I've noticed people who use "POV" but don't seem to know what it means. For instance, a picture of a monkey in a tree eating a banana and the text says "POV you're a monkey in a tree eating a banana." That's not POV! Not in a visual sense. It would be if the photo was from in the tree, with the banana coming toward the camera. Also people seem to think starting a post with "To be clear" just means "I'm smart, look at me".
"As you know..." Since you know I know, and I know you know I know, why are we even going there, you know?
I hate when they make a movie based on a book, and change everything around. The movie version of Those Who Wish Me Dead is one such film. The book was much better.
I leave laundry in the washing machine all the time. Not because I’m forgetful, I’m just a lazy schlub.
Can anyone tell me WTF home printing is so damn complicated??? You set the image size, give the PC the paper size, orientation, border requirements, quality… all looks how it should in the preview. And then you hit print and if the printer decides to successfully take the paper and not jam, it starts printing and slowly feeding out. You watch excitedly… to see it’s printed a thumbnail-size image, or it’s printed over to one side and only got half the image, or it’s printed bigger than the paper size and doesn’t fit…. fucking anything but how you wanted it to print!!!
This does not belong in this thread. This thread is for things that annoy [us] but shouldn't. That printing issue should not just annoy us -- it should enrage us. It's ubiquitous, and it can take hours or weeks to figure it out. Or you may never figure it out.
Indeed! I may, if I’m lucky, get it right after hour upon hour of trying (not to mention the wasted ink / paper) but because I don’t really understand what I did to get it right, and because I’m not doing it all the time, it’s like doing it for the first time every time.
Turns out (near as I can tell) that 1-Click Kindle purchases always default to your gift card balance (if any) for payment, regardless of what your overall default setting is, with no way to change it. Annoying. There also doesn't seem to be any way to contact anyone at Amazon. I don't say 'there oughta be a law' very often, but companies should be required to have a simple and easily-found Contact Us form on their websites.
Automobile sound systems. My house is 100 YARDS (91.44 meters) from the street. If your car's sound system makes my floor vibrate, there's a good chance you're running your system too loud.
They did. (Not that I’m defending Amazon.) Go to your main account page, scroll all the way to the very bottom of the page where it says ‘Help.’ Follow the insanity from there.
Thanks. If you've done it, please provide the sequence of clicks that takes me to a Contact Us form where I can send Amazon an email. Chat bots are Satan's time sink.
I've lost enough weight that I've dropped a size or two. This means my winter work clothes are going to hang off me like tents. Furthermore, I've lost some income stream since my big shopping spree days so it won't be feasible to embark on a replacement binge. But hey, skinn(ier)!
These dog leads where the collar / harness part has a strap or rope across the top of the dog’s snout. Most of the time it works its way right up so it’s sitting almost over the dog’s eyes. What purpose do they serve other than irritating your dog? They’re not a muzzle and the dogs clearly hate them, evident by their constant clawing at the thing, so why make them wear them? Oh, how I hate the domestication of dogs and humans’ power trip over them.
Those are halters, and if they are the right size, they don't slide up over the dog's eyes. Why use a dog halter? The same reason one uses a horse halter. Once the dog gets used to the idea, it's a better tool for walking on a leash than a collar around the neck which sets up the possibility of damaging the windpipe if the dog pulls or lunges. Our dogs walk well on leash and collar, but my daughter's pup does much better with a halter. As soon as it goes over her nose, she starts wagging her tail because she knows it is time to go hiking. It's a toss up as to who domesticated whom.
