Shit that annoys you

[Ted Striker]

It's annoying sitting home waiting for the service guy to show up and figure out why the furnace won't kick on.

It's probably a pressure switch.

[m2711c]

Did you try the troubleshooting checklist in your owners manual?

[HappyCamper]

It's probably a pressure switch.

That happened to me once.

Called it in, left for work, spouse watched as the service tech took a second to remedy.

I am now banned from making such service calls.

Turned out to be a defective thermostat that they installed when we got the new AC last summer. The spring clip holding the red wire to the furnace had a dead spring. 4 days with no heat overnight had the house down to 53 before sunrise today. That sucked.

Bear cub on my deck who couldn't figure out how to get off annoyed me. Eventually he figured out how to get down the stairs and out without breaking anything. Never saw mama. The little guy sounded pretty scared after I yelled at him.

GET OFF MY DECK!!!!!

Trying to create a new password for a website I need to access. Far as I can tell I am following all the rules but each new password I create gets rejected with no explanation why. After a few attempts I am now locked out.

[heckacali]

Wtf did the Musk thread get locked for?

Does he own the tgrs and get butthurt that most here think he's a douche??!?!

[frorider]

You’re asking this question on a duct tape & baling wire forum that regularly has weird shit happen & eventually get fixed?

IME the complexity requirement and the frequency with which you have to change are inversely proportional to the actual need for security and privacy.

How many pictures have motorcycles?

[Danno]

is a tiny portion of a side mirror "a motorcycle"? What about the foot of the person riding the bike, is that "a motorcycle"?

How about a scooter?

Cuz that ain't a motorcycle, but Google may disagree.

I just had 3 in a row. Maybe I was close each time? The thing is, I don’t care. I don’t want to care. I don’t want to know. I just want to answer my post doctor’s appointment dumbass questionnaire about my “experience” so they’ll stop sending me emails, or make sure I give them all 10s so they treat me well when I come back.

[Name Redacted]

My name has been wrong on my passport for three decades. It was the short version of my first name instead of my full first name. I am trying to correct it now because it always causes an annoyance at the airport when flying internationally. The process is annoyingly tedious. I'm having to fill out all these name change request forms and going back and forth with bureaucratic nonsense and snail mail. Paying extra money too, which is complete bullshit. But as long as I can easily get out of this country a few times in the next year it will be worth it I guess.

That's how it works with Uber drivers and Airbnbs, not doctors, at least not yet. Doctors who get good ratings get bonuses, those who get lousy ratings get dropped. No negative to you if you rate low. So flame away.

POTD.

No oranges in the store for my fresh squeezed juice every morning. This hurricane thing sucks.

[m2711c]

sounds like a job for Minute Maid!








fact.

[old goat]

I won't drink that shit. It doesn't taste like oranges. But I'll probably have to.

[Ted Striker]

When I was a kid my brother and I would take that can out of the freezer, cut it in two, and eat it like a popsicle.
