Things that frustrate us all

Six minute TV commercial breaks for ''revolutionary'' products in which the ''secret'' is simply renaming common implements like fly-swatters or porch lights and treating them like Second Coming salvations.
And then there are the ones where it is claimed that an industry is trying to suppress a new miracle product. Claiming that there is a conspiracy to censor the underdog creator of said miracle product, so you customers had better buy NOW!
 
People who sneeze into their hands ... and then go about touching things.

People who try to bum things off you, and instead of being honest about it, like that old phrase, "Hey, can I bum a smoke?", the ask you if you got something.
Example Guy: Hey, do you have a dollar?"
Me: Sure do, I have a dollar, and not you.
 
First phone companies made it harder to install your Sim card and now you have to use ear buds connected to Bluetooth because the earphones with cable isn't possible anymore! Stop ruining phones dammit!

Word. Add in phones that won't let you move apps to an SD card. Used to do it just fine on an old phone of mine. Just carefully moved any back to my phone whenever they needed to be updated.

Enshitification

I wish keypads would make a comeback but they won't. I bloody miss keypads on phones. I could use the 4G flip I have as it's a good phone but then I can't tap and pay with my phone with that, and recently I've started using that more and more instead of a physical card.

Oh, here's another one:

People who are rude to you, treat you like garbage, throw a temper tantrum like a twelve year old, say they'll never come back to you for help again.

Then show up days later, no apologies, pretend like it never happened.

Some grown ups need to grow up.

Some people outside find it really hard to be an adult. I've experienced this a bit recently and it annoys me, but then if they want to be this way bye bye friend you can go find some new friends.

I've even heard tales of days gone by, where they had phones where you could (gasp)... replace the battery on your own! :eek:
