I hate

So much, not sure if my eyes are getting worse or its just that everyone's lights are loads brighter than they used to be, but fuckers in giant cars, with giant lights blinding everyone as they sit idling on the wrong side of the road is an absolute shitter.

as they sit idling on the pavement on the wrong side of the road

As well.

And dump a takeaway box out the window before fucking off.

The new biometrics "service" from home office.

Previously: post office (granted closed due to covid) £21 piss easy to get appointment.

Now Sophia steria. Expensive 0844 number. 45p on three we have no landline. No alternative.
£110! for appointments.
Online calendar only lets you pick one month in advance and booked out.
No chat option for appointments.
VoIP service we have doesn't support all 0844 numbers and theirs doesn't work.

Bunch of see you in Tuesdays, outsourcing at its worst, no competition and free tax money for shite service with huge end user fees 🤬

I’m sure you tried, but if not: saynoto0870.com lists non 08 nos for UKVCAS. Might be cheaper. (If you have, sorry)

Tx not heard of it so I tried it just there :)

No verified alternative numbers but I'll try the ones that are listed and hopefully get lucky.

Fucking printers, how do they know when you need to print something urgently so they can pick that exact moment to throw a shit fit and stop working.

Have a courier booked to collect a parcel from 8am onwards tomorrow, I have 6 printable postage labels left, I know the correct orientation and the exact size/dimensions the printable area needs to be set to for a perfect fit.

First print... printer decides to notify me after printing that the yellow ink is out, everything completely faded.

replace yellow ink and run a cleaning program to clear out the print heads.

second print... completely faded, error message "ink absorber near full"

google message, printer basically is end of lifing itself.

third print... run another clean on the black ink only, print in B&W... completely faded

message now states ink absorber now full, refuses to operate and cannot clear error message, reboot printer.

printer bricks itself completely, no longer powers on at all.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

am a gnats hair from recreating that scene from office space.

Time to switch to the backup one.

You do have a backup printer right?

Similar problems with my HP OfficeJet Pro 8610. It had problems with the magenta ink cartridge which caused black and white printing to become tricky and now all of the colours look blue-ish, even the individual colour checks). No amount of head cleaning routines fix it completely. I'll look to replace it with something similar in the next few weeks. Having a photocopier is a must in the house, fax machine less so. Still I only paid £25 for it brand new as it was £125 with £50 off at John Lewis and a further £50 rebate from HP after owning it for a month. I've used non-HP cartridges from the get-go so it isn't related to that. It's done 5+ years of service with no other problems. *checks* 6157 pages printed (3947 of them in colour). Total amount I've spent on it, including the printer itself makes it come out at ~2p/page.

Because headlights are angled left (to pick out the edge of the road in normal driving and lessen the dazzle to oncoming vehicles) it’s an offence to show headlights when parked on the wrong side of the road. Not that those ignoramus’ doing it know or give a f.
Just thought I’d mention it though.

Algorithms.

You look at one creepy doll on Marketplace.....

looks like i picked the wrong week to have eyes.

Yeah, that fixie IS a bit ugly....

I'm aware of that (used to be a driving instructor don't you know?) the eyes worse/lights brighter thing was just that it's noticeably worse than it used to be, probably because lights are brighter and my eyes are worse.

Yep I am having the same issue with intensity of light from passing traffic. More and more I’m finding that for a few valuable seconds all I can see is headlights and driving becomes a case of aiming the car to the left of them and hoping for the best. Part of it is my age, I’ll admit but I’m teaching my son to drive and he finds it an issue too.

It doesn’t help that every third car is a big hulking SUV with its headlights set at eye level for drivers of normal sized cars.

They need to be taxed to the hilt.

I fucking hate cars, on the whole.

Toenails.

How do the fuckers go from normal to cave-dwelling mystic overnight?

I hate it when some stupid unprofessional motherfucker arrives on a conference call 10 minutes late, seizes the initiative to filibuster all the stuff discussed in the ten minutes prior to their arrival until the call ends

The Ikea website.

What's in stock, what isn't in stock, when it can be delivered, what delivery will cost, where you can collect from, all appear to be arbitrary from one minute to the next.

Over the course of an order my delivery has ranged from £3 to £50 with delivery dates ranging from tomorrow to April. Or I could collect it from my local store, but at some point it decided that I could only collect from Swindon. Then, to finish, it decided a load of stuff was out of stock anyway.

I know that if I try again tomorrow it will give me a totally different array of options.

Maybe they are using just out of time systems

Sorry.

You are @rpm aicmfp

This. I wanted some bathroom stuff, but mainly a cabinet. The cabinet is not in stock in Croydon, something I can't find out until I'm nearly checked out. I could pay £5 for the privilege of driving to Greenwich, but fuck that. Take the cabinet out and leave the small bits. Now I have to pay to collect those from Croydon. Fuck off.

Really close passes by tryhard road warriors. Just fuck off, yeah?
