Geo blocking. It makes little sense.
Things that frustrate us all

I couldn't agree more. In France we're geoblocked from plenty of American and even English sites even though only bilingual people are even interested in those sites and we're not many! So what exactly are they trying to prevent there?

The patriarchy. Every damned day.
People who prattle on without any purpose or direction.
Get to the fucking POINT.
Get to the fucking POINT.
Or as I am accustomed to saying: "Why do you always need to take a connecting flight to get to the point?"
You mean they have a point to make? Surely you can't be serious.

I keep seeing him as the captain in Forbidden Planet.
FB can be frustrating as hell, but I have found its advantages (many groups of people with similar interests in one place instead of remembering all sorts of forums) and companies do tend to have FB pages, as well. It's sometimes nice to be able to contact them there rather than filling out all sorts of captcha email forms.
I don't know...for me it's a convenience thing.
What frustrates me about wine is the pretentious chatter.
NOT what you just said, BTW. What you wrote, actually makes sense. It's crap like this that really gets me.
To the author's suggested steps for discussing wine in a realistic fashion (1. What does it smell like? 2. What does it taste like? 3. Did you like it? 4. When would you serve it?) I would add these:
5. Nobody knows what "tannins" are, nor do they give a shit.
6. Tasting wine and then spitting it out is wasteful and stupid.
7. Whether or not wine comes from a bottle, or a box, makes no fundamental difference.
8. I probably wouldn't buy anything more complicated than Thunderbird or Night Train anyway, so what the hell am I even doing here?

Google Ads. I report ones that I'm tired of seeing and then they go ahead and repeat said ads over and over again. Been running into an Asian date one now going on 3-4 times. After I've reported it.
Losing one's voice for almost three weeks is very frustrating. I lost mine to a virtual perfect storm of things. I found out a friend died, and then, almost a week later, I got hit with the virus that's been going around and something bacterial as well. My tonsils swelled, so I got antibiotics and that cleared that up, but my voice decided to check out on me.
Get better soon!
It's too cold for my regular pajamas and yet not cold enough for my super-warm pajamas, so I'm either too cold or sweating like a pig. I need to find some "it's winter but the heater's on" pajamas.
Damn. Hope you get well soon.
