    It's when females (usually) end every sentence as if it's a question. Though there are some younger dude-bros guilty of this atrocity.

    Good lord, it's hard to listen to.

    I had no idea what you were talking about so I youtubed it and found this from 1994:

    Apparently her ending message didn't stick.

    +1. WTF is that? My adblocker is confused.

    Edit: nvm, adblock+ took care of it, just have to go after the banner before it gets minimized otherwise it's too resilient.

    OneNote; piece of shit that constantly loses content when it can't sync with OneDrive leaving me with hysterical daughter.

    One day they'll listen to me about not typing in OneNote, but use Notepad or word or something that stores locally, then cut and paste that into OneNote when done.

    THANK YOU! That took care of it for me too.

    For those wondering what we're talking about, if you're using adblock, click on the ABP logo top right of your browser, click on "block element" and then click on the offending banner that leads to the autoplaying video. Boom. Problem solved.

    It's annoying that you should even have to check this fact. This also drives me nuts, it's such poor design. Also in my case, there is no controls, not even a power button, on my new TV that got 4+ stars out of 5. All controls are remote only, fuuuck.

    I just made my browser window smaller horizontally and the video disappeared. What former Fox News intern made the autoplay video a thing here? Fire that *****.

    By design it will store locally if you’re offline. OneNote is a complicated beast.

    There is a backup folder you can navigate to to see the previous edits.

    Wanna really screw up OneNote? Have two people edit the same object/text on a page. They will break it.

    Just placed an order for some bulk spices. Get the confirmation email and it says they will ship in 7-10 business days. WTF? That takes us into Thanksgiving week and possibly not shipping till after Thanksgiving? With no indication prior to order placement of the delay? Annoying.

    So I sent them an email saying that if the order truly won't ship till then, cancel it now. Got an automated response saying it will be a few days before they can answer my email. Also annoying.

    Why is it so hard for people to mute themselves in conference calls and web trainings? 30 minutes just trying to get everyone muted...

    I've mentioned it before. I used to attend a weekly meeting 10+ years ago that had a guy take a leak, and not wash his hands, every. Single. Week. No mute. Just pissing. Never caught the culprit.

    What kind of lame ass conferencing software are you using where the host can't mute everyone?

    Not to mention getting them to stop masturbating. (The New Yorker fired Toobin btw. Too bad--easily my favorite NYer writer but had to be done I guess.)

    It's a 2-day class on adobe connect required for work. I get why they want people to be able to ask questions, etc., but why is it so hard for people to mute? You'd think since April, people would be pros at this by now.

    License expired. Go to renew online, says I have to do it in person because my picture is too old (jeez, thanks). We don't have a DMV in our county, so go to the closest one which says by appointment only. Call the number to schedule, recording says completely closed to the public, renew online.

    Sent them an e-mail asking what to do, just to CYA unless I get pulled over.

    Further, if I do get this done in the next couple weeks, I'm going to be stuck with the ridiculous looking Movember stache on my license for the next 5 years.
