I hate

Car glove boxes. So just what have they been designed to store in the decades since we have dispensed with string-back leather hand coverings? I’ve gone through several generations of vehicle over the years and none of them have had glove boxes that have a shape that corresponds to an assortment of accoutrements of the time be it tinned sweets, bottle of Cresta, cassette tapes, CDs, Road map, removable sat nav, baby wipes, Nurofen...
there is always one thing that’s the wrong shape to get in even when 40% of the ridiculously convoluted space is unoccupied.
Likewise with door pockets. Just deep enough to hold an item until said item is imbued, by the movement of the door, with enough angular momentum to overcome its centre of gravity and flip over and out into a muddy puddle.
So, car designers, get your act together. Stop spending all your time and budget adding yet another pointless (pun intended) angular facet to the bodywork in an attempt to make vehicles look like the spawn of the god of origami and get the basics right.

Just do what my gf does and keep everything in the passenger side footwell so anytime someone needs to sit in that seat they have to spend the entire journey unable to change their foot positioning without crushing all the random shite usually forcing their legs into weird angles culminating in some form of cramp halfway along a motorway.

Yes this. It's especially great when the weather is sleety like today and the stuff in the footwell turns into a cross between a slushie, a papier maché project and the waste disposal compactor from Star Wars.

all streaming tv menu systems / interfaces.

utter shit. every one of them.

Very much this.

is it so hard to have an option to show every series I’m currently mid way through watching? Apparently so

Getting recommendations for things I've already watched. Prime I'm looking at you, you pellet

it's easier to find what you want to watch on the website and hope that your faves show up on the telly UI.

you don't get this fuss and bother purchasing things!

utter shit. every one of them.

I think all TV execs should be forced to spend an afternoon using their interfaces on various platforms.

That or I think that every presentation they give should have a 3-5 second pause between them clicking "next slide" and it ... ... ... actually happening.

Uber Eats.

Last weekend, went to the local takeaway, was told they’re not taking orders in the shop, and that I need to order on Uber eats for collection.
Stand outside and go on phone, “not available for collection”
Ask them again. Get told to select the takeaway itself as the delivery location and they’ll refund the delivery cost.
Try again on Uber eats and none of the menu items are available. Walk home exasperated.

This weekend. Order from somewhere in town, it gets delivered by bike. With it being -3 out, it’s obviously stone fucking cold when it arrives. It’s not matey on the bike’s fault, his tiny foil lined rucksack isn’t going to keep a meal hot on a 15 minute cycle.

I really miss just ringing a local takeaway and paying on the door. It was never cold, I didn’t have to pay an added fee, and I get to tip the driver properly. And not having to pay fucking uber a fee for the pleasure.

I never used them because of the cunts that work for them but good to hear it's shit otherwise too.

I basically refused to use them, but with my local being Uber eats only now it feels hard to avoid.

Getting a takeaway is one of the few treats we afford ourselves so when it’s shit, it knocks the wind out of the evening.

Golf club takeaway

Sounds nice tho.

Ubereats have emailed to say they've refunded £7.50 for the missing chips, but no word on the whole lot being fucking cold. I don't want a partial refund, I want the single service you provide to not be shit.

Yeah, total shit. The worst is when there's another stop before yours, 100% guaranteeing that your food is stone cold. I wouldn't mind having to reheat my food if I knew that it meant the delivery rider was getting paid double for a bit of extra work but if my experience working for Deliveroo a few years ago is anything to go by, it's a couple of extra quid at most.
Also, if you're not tipping your Deliveroo/Uber/whatever rider a decent amount, you should be.

It’s a great restaurant. We had their NYE cook at bone meal and it was fantastic so will be trying the valentines option tomorrow.

I thought this too until I changed the habit of a lifetime and didn't buy a cheap TV. I think the TV pricks save the good UIs for the spenny models. Which pisses me off no end because it surely can't be that expensive to make a TV with a menu system that just fucking works. I mean, you can buy a capable smartphone for less than £100 now days. You cant tell me that a £100 smartphone can run Android and Netflix seemlessly but a £1000 telly can't be expected to have usable menus.

Is the way to go not buying whatever TV is the best at being a TV that your budget allows, then spending like £30 on a chromecast or similar and streaming directly from your phone/computer etc? I am not a tech-y person at all so might be way off but that makes sense to my stupid brain.

While we’re on this - has anyone tried to quit Disney (having binged Mando)? It’s like trying to leave Scientology! I literally don’t know how to stop giving them my money!!!

All TVs in China have ads built into them so when you switch them on, some horrific advert comes blaring out. Can't switch it off. The UI is nightmare-inducing too.

Definitely a good way to do it. Firestick and Chromecast are excellent. The problem is that if you're a gamer you tend to not have many Hdmi to go round. Not many TVs have more than four and adding am HDMI switch to the equation is not ideal.

Our current TV has one remote with a handful of buttons that automatically controls all devices (if you stick to same manufacturer), the menu system works flawlessly, supports all apps you could hope for. There is literally no reason why only their high end TVs do this other than price gouging.

Roku TV is the least-worse of the lot. Do recommend.

This weekend's hate is reserved for smug cunts barelling round ice-covered country lanes at full pelt because they have a 4wD. It's like they're trying to point out to the plebs around them the fact that they can afford the big white range rover when the rest of us are tip-toeing about in "ordinary" cars. I was nearly taken out my a wanker in a range-rover yesterday when I was getting my kids out the car. He came walloping past about 50 on a narrow road with a surface of fully compacted ice without slowing down. Hope the bastard ends up in a ditch.

If his Rangie is on standard tyres then his confidence is misplaced and he is likely to come a-cropper at some point. 4wd on its own doesn’t give you grip.

Also, if you're not tipping your Deliveroo/Uber/whatever rider a decent amount, you should be.

Why the delivery driver and not the chef or the food packer/telephone answering person?

What about your Amazon delivery person and the postman?

That I’m in a strop with my wife but our dog played with a really cool dog on his walk this morning and I want to tell her about it.
