Things that frustrate us all

Wasting my time clicking on search results that lead to news or online magazine articles only to hit a paywall. I wish there was a way to set up a search engine or browser to not show results from these money-grubbing web sites, but if there is, I'm not aware of it.

Ditto for these sites that won't let you read the article until you disable your ad blocker. Hello... there's a reason I have it on!

And don't even get me started on autoplay videos!
Sooo much this on both counts. It's very annoying. I get wanting to make money but a lot of times it's just obnoxious.
 
I tend to use my Ipod for music, but can no longer use it in the car:( (The car recognizes usb, apple play and android - but not my ipod classic)
 
That sucks :(. Hate when technology acts up like that.

Figure it's either a licencing issue (and the car manufacturers haven't bothered because ipod classics are old), or the file directory format on the ipod. With a spare (3rd gen), I got the car to recognise the ipod as a hard drive, but not the music on it. That required using an alternate software program and telling it that it wasn't really an ipod

With all the music on a normal usb stick, the car will recognize all of it (including any thing bought via itunes).
 
a lot of the time when I go to the store looking for something specific, they just sold the last one.

As someone who has also heard "sorry, we just sold the last one" a lot, I have started to wonder if that's just something they say when they're out of stock. I don't really know what they gain from it (other than implying that they are usually well-stocked, just not, you know, right at this moment), but it just seems to occur too frequently to be realistic. (Or I guess my timing is just as good as yours! ;) )

I have the worst luck/timing, if I go somewhere hoping to see someone, I always just missed them, I find out about events I would have liked to go to the day after they happened, and a lot of the time when I go to the store looking for something specific, they just sold the last one.

Sounds like you just have to buckle down and invent time travel! :D
 
I wish I was good enough at math to figure something like that out.

I used to work at Wal-Mart, and I'm pretty sure there a few times where I saw something on the shelf/hanging on a hook, but then when someone came looking for it later it was gone. So that does happen sometimes.

My knowledge of car audio systems is frozen at this level.
