The things that 'grind your gears' thread...

[The DoggFather]

I love the Bulldogs and Rugby League but the lounge is the main reason I come here. I'm sure a lot of other people share this sentiment. If it goes I won't be posting on here as often.

If the lounge goes then the Bulldogs discussion will become polluted.

211 pages of gear grinding says 'The Lounge' is necessary, we need these discussions.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Yeah I doubt it's going.... it was just a discussion / question asked a while back.

I think it balances out the off season nicely.

So I just got my new work iPhone. I took it down to the Microsoft tech guru and he has NO IDEA how to sync my email to the mail app. It took him about 10-15 different attempts (40 mins) before he threw in the towel and told his colleague to do it who got it done in 1 hit. Luckily the building has free wifi so I fart-arsed around playing games on my phone.

Ebay now deletes negative feedback for dodgy sellers. I left negative feedback for a seller and it was deleted.

I read their forums and it happens a fair bit

Three things:
a) When you are high pressure cleaning your garage and you overshoot, nick the driveway and put a clean spot on it, and then have to clean the entire driveway. @south of heaven can you relate?
b) Nuisance callers on my mobile at 4AM.
c) Harpic In Cistern Toilet Blocks. Claims to last a few months, lasts about 4 flushes.!!!

Marin cilic serving in tennis.

He bounces the ball 25 times before he serves. What does that add? He tries to irritate his opponents. Irritates me

Turn your phone off at night, or at least on silent.

The bizarre lengths they go to, to instruct the public.

When I go to sleep at night so does my phone.

Why would you take it there? Your work IT should do it or just google it

The tech guru from Microsoft is our work IT. They outsourced it to them.

What a retard he is. I’ve done it myself there’s only like 4 fields you need to complete with the servers and all that junk

There's a few reasons my phone is on all the time:
a) I often forget otherwise to turn it back on.
b) It functions as my alarm.
c) Wife works shifts and sometimes I'll nod off before she gets home (hence emergency).
d) Folks are overseas at the moment, so I prefer to remain in contact.
e) Past habits from being on call 24/7.

I sympathize with the IT guy. My phone battery just died, bought a new phone and am in the process of importing contacts via Bluetooth sharing. But my old phone is one of four versions of Microsoft's now defunct line of products. They only made four versions before giving up. And rather than using the android operating system they designed their own. It synced to my laptop ok. But won't transfer my contact lists to the android operating system on my new phone. Nor will my old phone do a mass Bluetooth share of all my old contacts. To complicate matters, it's taking me up to three attempts to transfer 1 contact. 25 of 150 odd contacts in and I'm ready to smash something. I regret not saving my contact list to my Sim now. But last time I saved to my Sim it crapped out and lost my contacts. I fucking hate technology.

If he's not Indian... how are you 100% sure he even works for Microsoft

People trying to save the world.
I didn't know the world needed saving.
Now I have to save the world from them.
Contempt.

Even worse are those people who claim to be speaking out for minorities and the voiceless.

PISSED OFF

Taxi Brooklyn

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3027506/?ref_=nv_sr_1

This show only last 12 episodes, but I loved it. It's about a rather petite New York detective who is as tough as nails. In the opening episode, she loses her drivers license and catches a taxi while on the job. They form an unlikely duo. Before too long the taxi driver works for her with the NYPD paying him to drive her around. Quite a good action/comedy/drama cop show. The bad thing about it though is that it ended after 12 episodes and 1 season with a very big cliff-hanger.
