Ah yes, the old "turn up the volume to hear what they say, and then have your ears blown off at the next action scene."

And often the options they give don't match up with what you actually want to ask about. So you have to select something that you know is incorrect, and hope that the company will transfer you to the correct department.

The coffee I buy proudly says you don't need scissors! You can just lift the top and peel open! I have never, not once, not one single time, opened it without scissors. Damned dirty liars.

I've got this theory that headlamp bulbs are in short supply and people have been advised that the nearest substitute is a lighthouse bulb. Yes you ba57ard in the Peugeot van yesterday morning I do mean you!

Umm, what? 🫨Legitimately asking as a German (feeling incredibly spoiled by mandatory and full covering health insurance here).

Especially when it's a present for someone

Online apps that refuse to accept a non domestic (looking at you USA) zip/postcode for previous experience/education etc.

Vote this one to the top and get a guillotine.

I’ve had this problem almost exclusively with Workday. Other HR solutions tend to do a pretty good job of scouring my resume and pre populating the data fields. Workday not so much. Workday also makes you create an account for each different company. I must have over 100 Workday accounts, it’s the crappiest solution out there yet seems to be one of the most popular for employers 🤷🏼‍♂️

"Haha still attending" I have read it with the voice of Nelson fron the Simpsons.

The worst thing I have seen was a fomula for complaining about a parking ticket. Not only did you as the owner of a car have to enter a lot of information that you knew they were never gonna use, (e.g. your phonenumber as there was a snowball's chance in hell that they would actually call you, since they did whatever they could to avoid actually having to talk to anybody (E.g. their webpage did not even contain a number you could call)) but when you ticked the box saying "I was the driver of the car" it did precisely nothing. Instead you had to enter the exact same information for the section below titled "information about the driver of the car". E.i. everything had to be written twice! Then and only then, you came to the section where you could explain why they were some idiots, but cleaverly enough they only gave you 250 letters to do that, so they did not have to read that much. (1/2)

Recruit bots that think I would be suitable for offshore drilling because mcse (Microsoft certified software engineer) . I get pretty rude

Then having the algorithm bot decide you’re not worthy so you can’t even apply to someplace like Walmart. I guess not fitting their criteria isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

How to not get a job ...

I've filled out so many medical intake forms that I know what they'll ask, so I print the information out from my PC, in a professional manner with headings, etc., and attach it to their form. Saves time.

Do you want the job, then fill it out. signed, Vocational Expert

Adults that can't be bothered to type out "you", even on a job application...

The reason? It goes into their data base per each area: education, work experience, etc. Ai should resolve this as companies add it to their intranet system; Ai will "see" the areas and file it accordingly.

This one really grinds my gears! One company website had such a persnickety application page that I gave up. You want quality workers, make applying for a job easy-peasy!

My daughter bought me some headphones the other day, it took all my might, scissors and a knife to open the package.

POCKETS!!!!!! Hey ladies, what do we want? WE WANT POCKETS! When do we want them? WE WANT THEM NOW!!!!!!!

Arizona doesn't use DST, we tried it for one year and said F That and went back to permanent standard time and no one misses it or wants it.

A good browser like Brave eliminates most of that and the ads that overwhelm articles your trying to read.

It's ironic to me that something as tiny as a tag can cause such misery. And you often don't notice it until you're out and about and there's not much chance of fixing it without shredding your clothes. I admit that I then sometimes gets over-enthusiastic about removing the tag. I always have my sewing kit near at hand on the good chance that I'll "negatively impact" the seam.

Shouldn't be on the list. Attempted crime isn't an everyday "inconvenience" that can be "fixed"

Same when you start a new box of tissues.

In the long run, I don’t even have a problem with letting the government use my money for part of the year. But they know how much to refund me. At the end of every January they should just send out a statement saying this is what you owe or this is your refund. Check our math. You just check it. Make sure everything looks good. Then send it back and Get your refund or pay what you also owe. It really shouldn’t be left up to us to figure out how much we owe or get refunded. And if we’re wrong, we get audited and then fined with penalties.

I always thought it was just lousy paint. And why don't you have those little reflective thingies?

Cheap plastic clip. You can buy them in packs. Problem solved.

Ha! Just like when Steve Martin’s character looses it in the supermarket in Father of the Bride.

My glasses need a location button sometimes.

I sort the mail for my building and all junk mail goes straight into the recycling bin. It's so wasteful, no one wants to receive it and most people don't even read it.

My fan only oscillates by remote, which I lost. Luckily I can still control the power and strength otherwise I'd be S.O.L.

Just use a password manager. You only have to remember one password (or use biometric login, like I do), it can generate passwords for you (based on parameters you choose), and when you're logged into the manager it'll auto-populate or give you the option to have it enter your login and password for you. And you can have the same manager on multiple devices and it'll stay updated with your passwords across all devices. Obviously, like with literally everything, there is some risk having all your passwords located in one location but that's why you make sure you use safe practices and setup all the security you should have.

Actually the audio quality is quite good, they've hired Charlie Browns teacher to work the drive thru speaker. Waaa, wa waaaa waa wawa waaaaa.

Also the tipping culture that's getting out of hand

They're also too small

One guy solved the problem in his area, he'd spray paint a large penis around the pothole. It would be fixed in short order because the city doesn't like to look at that filthy stuff. 🤣

"My health record" from digitalhealth.gov.au does that. People who worry about invasion of privacy are free to opt out.

Never happened to me. Updates can ask for a restart, but cannot force you to do it right now.

These exist! I just clip my nails outside so it doesn't matter where the clippings go.

If it were a man's issue it would be "fixed" by now.

Also side cams.

Saw a hack somewhere that if you freeze the plastic wrap, it doesn't get stuck to itself and will roll off more easily. Yet to be tested in my kitchen, we don't use plastic wraps often.

I agree (stupid sun).

Best thing I EVER started doing was baking the entire package and put it in the fridge in a ziploc...then take out how ever many pieces i need and zap for 30 seconds!! Works like a charm. Cooking bacon on the stove in a pan is archaic.

In my days real me didn't complain about pain, they whole world is going woke ;-) I use to walk 20 miles up hill to go to school and 25 up hill back with 50kg of books on my back. we didn't complain

Have you not had to deal with ketchup water?

There used to be remotes that opened in half to reveal a keyboard, we need them again.

Poor Bing. it's so hopeful! "Do you wanna search the int.. oh you left.. okay..."

Never seen it anywhere - seen the odd 'life-hack' suggesting ways to do so but none that actually work.

The car-bermuda-triangle? 😄 I recently found a 5€-bill down there so its not that bad. 🤭 Edit: spelling
