SPAM random annoying things

[Raven]

That's actually the single thing that makes me want to throw my mechanical keyboard at the wall, to use the insert, home, end etc bit you have to switch numlock on and off.

I didn't think it would be an issue when I bought it but I am already thinking about replacing it.

I hate keyboards without the full set. Logitech had a thing for ages of replacing the delete key with a massive insert key, which was want. I'd probably get a Chromebook if it had caps lock not stupid freaking search.

Walking into the bathroom with your socks on only to discover the floor is wet (and your socks too).

 

[old.Tohtori]

people who turn off the numlock on a keyboard with a numpad.

*RAGE*

Always gets me after playing WoW, auto-run is on numlock(i could switch it i know but it's just how it's supposed to be!) and then come out and it's always off for some reason

ProTip: Stop pissing on the floor

Hah. That's usually annoying for the better half of me. In any case, I always say the toilet must have sprung a leak. I never miss when aiming!

Same as the default in daoc. When I didn't have my own pc and only played on my dad's 56k dial-up modem computer he would always go mental when it was off, and as you say, it always is

Just started a new job (which I can't talk about much for a few months). Job is based in Dublin but company is British and I'm basically employee number one on the Irish payroll. Get my laptop and phone on the first day and...my phone is a UK phone with roaming blocked to Ireland. Genius. I think there may be a quite a lot of cultural adjustment...

 

[TdC]

bit like our work laptops not working unless they're wired to the company network...which. kinda. defeats. the. point. I. guess.

 

[Overdriven]

Started new job today..

Samsung New 9 Series = Good
iPhone 5s = .... Urgh.

 

[old.user4556]

Apple making out that the iPhone 6+ is revolutionary, and that Apple Pay will "change the way we pay for things".

Welcome to Google 12 months ago you apes.

 

[Ormorof]

Reminds me of the Simpson episode where Homer walks into a Mapple store and agrees to buy a mapplebook on one condition "only if you charge me for services google provide for free!"

 

[Raven]

But if they didn't say stuff like that, apple users wouldn't be able to walk about with that ironic smug look!

trod on my laptop and cracked the fucking screen

Being allergic to cats and having one in the house

In August with the family back in the UK an injured kitten got into the garden and remained. She was in a bad state but I fed her and took her to a vet etc. I did not allow her in the house as I though it would upset the dog or he would kill her whilst I was at work. On returning home my Mrs insisted she came into the house until fit enough to leave or be housed elsewhere. Now the traitorous dog is happily playing with her and treats her very well. I'm left with sore eyes and runny nose and probably the who will have to leave....

So you brought the cat from the UK to Dubai?

 

[Hawkwind]

Nah, I was alone in Dubai for 5 weeks. The injured kitty turned up then, pic below. She looks a lot better now. I kept her fed and watered and when the family arrived back from UK they insisted she live indoors with us.

Her a few days ago. Keeping me company whilst working at home:

Sweet thing really but sets my allergies off. Although I suspect if I give the family an ultimatum I would be the one leaving

 

[Gwadien]

Clever little shits.

I'll walk up to a house, look pretty, and they'll let me in.

 

[Scouse]

Works the same for pretty girls. Life's a fucking picnic if you're a pretty girl. Or a cat.

Hating the career you've fallen into and realising your too old and paid too much to do anything about it

Mate of mine in the UK has a novel plan. He is currently working for G4 Security as a Director and plans to retire at 50 and run a mobile expresso/snack truck. Mobile Cafe Nero type thing.

What's stopping you? My mother got a new career at 60+.

F*ck the used costs, used money is like used girlfriends....err...i mean EX girlfriends.

Just lucky there is demand in porn for the GILF's!

trod on my laptop and cracked the fucking screen

My son dropped his Acer Aspire on the school bus and cracked the screen. Was amazed that it only cost 100 GBP to replace.

Meh, when you're 60+ you can more or less start a new career, but when you're 30-50 you'll probably still have a mortgage (If British) kids and other dependents, it sucks, but it's capitalism.

I would like to do the same but can't afford the drop in salary...

You would know as a mass consumer

I feel for you, I really do, my dad had an old friend for 40 odd years. (More or less lost said friend)

He was stupidly high in a job, but wasn't qualified for his position, so couldn't change company, and especially since he had multiple houses on mortgages from broken marriages caused by the job.

Sucks.

Vicious circle.

 

[old.Tohtori]

multiple houses on mortgages from broken marriages caused by the job.

Own doing though.

This net equality support group bullcrap with throttling services. (or anti-support whatever you want to call it)

It's not that hard to understand what would happen, in the meanwhile why don't you keep your services working as intended.
