Things that frustrate us all

I have found my old Nexus phone, so I'm going to try to charge it up and use it as an MP3 player. We'll see how that works. I'm glad I saved the old charger for it.

One thing that annoys me today: no one at work has any questions for me until I announce I'm going to lunch.

If you have a nexus phone maybe you can contact Picard at his Xmas dinner...:D
 
^ Yep. :sigh:

I've been shaving my head (every morning) for awhile now. Most of the time it goes without a hitch. But when I screw up...oh lordy.

At least this time, I cut myself on the front of my head, where I can see it, so it's easier to apply the bandage.

When I cut myself on the face, a piece of TP usually does the trick.
 
...And there's my package being dropped off on my front steps when the address clearly states: "Please deliver to side door."

Every. Freaking. Time.

Courier companies are terrible. I recently got a package where it said right on the label that a signature was required and not to drop it off unattended. So of course they just left it on the porch.

I have the same problem with ad papers. I put the sign "no advertisement" on my mailbox which legally forbids anyone to put ad papers in it! Still, some A-Holes do it anyway. So far they've been lucky enough that I wasn't around but if I ever see one I'll film him (Maybe i'll be more hesitant if it's a "her") with my phone and sue him on that basis. I swear I'll make him regret not obeying the law!

I obviously don’t know how it is in France, but here the flyers are often delivered by young kids as their first real job.

Then obviously from now on you should just leave without announcing it! ;)
 
^ I wish I could but I'm required to tell them, dagnabbit.

I tried loading music on my old Nexus phone but the music plays for 10 seconds and then stops. Phooey. I'm just going to get a new player.
 
I did a stupid. When I opened my light this morning and started setting it up I went through everything I could find in the package and online about how to sign into the light's wifi with my phone. No joy. I just couldn't see any evidence of a wifi password mentioned anywhere, either in the installation pamphlet or on YouTube videos. I emailed the company through their site, Amazon, and found a chat that I didn't find out wasn't open so it sent my message to their email.

I got a response when I woke up from a nap this evening.

It's right there. In the pamphlet. Right over the image of choosing the light's wifi.

D'oh!

That said, I turned my light on and played with the color temperature and intensity setting using my phone.

I just realized my monitor screen is in dire need of a cleaning.
 
Almost nobody balances their accounts anymore as it's all online now and instantly available. Maybe we should get back into that habit as this has happened to be far too many times than I'd like to admit (not large payments like rent, but smaller, <$200 payments.).

Pisses me off when it happens, though!

My brother had one seller my brother paid not cash in the payment for almost a YEAR and it was something close to $1000 US.

I just keep X dollars in my checking account, Y dollars in my savings account, and on pay day after I pay off my credit card, anything over X + Rent I put in my ETrade account. But the problem is, X is just a little less than two months rent. I just handled this last month without realizing that the rent hadn't been taken out yet.

The part that bothers me is that he *didn't tell me* he was going to take two times the rent out at the same time.
 
Wait...wait...hubby the IT guy has helped me solve the problem. Some of my music is so old that it's not compatible. Will have to convert those files later. I think I have it now. I'll see how it goes from here. Currently listening to Roxy Music on the old Nexus 4.

I'm glad I saved that old thing. Now I can listen to my music on my headphones and still walk around the house or down the street. The old phone is bigger than I would like but it will still fit into the pocket of my jeans. It's doable.
 
I got a call from my bank today saying checking balance was in the negative, and when I signed on to look, it was because my landlord forgot to cash the October rent check so he cashed both at the same time.
Can't you transfer the rent regularly by a standing order? I feel very uncomfortable with third parties drawing on my account.

I don't think it's even possible here unless that third party is the law, IE a court order or whatever (fortunately I've never been on the receiving end of that!).

We having standing orders we can set up to instruct the bank make to make a regular payment to any other account. We can set them up online.

Most of not all banks have stopped issuing cheque books.
 
Same here. I liked Avast for a long time, but I'm looking into a new one (anything but Avira though, that f'd up my mom's laptop some time ago).

Yeah, I haven't retried Avira because that went pearshaped a couple of years ago on mine:(

It might be because of my job, but whenever I make a payment/receipt it's recorded and a quick balance check done. Full reconciliations are also a fairly regular thing.
 
Now I need to figure out what's going on with my left thumb. It's sore all over, but in particular, when I move it my last joint closest to the tip pops out of joint a little, easily, but painfully, popping in and out of joint, especially when I actually use my thumb.

It's annoying in general, but it's particularly annoying because it makes it difficult to use my new Spacemouse.

What happened?

My mom's had a memory issue with it (iirc).

Ouch! :ack: Did you dislocate your thumb or tear a ligament? You should see a doctor about that.
