Pet peeves, niggles and minor annoyances
1. emails from noreply accounts. which means that if you have a question you have to waste your time trying to contact support.
2. 'support' that is based on an AI bot that doesn't understand more than simple questions, then referring you to a KB post that is irrelevant to your inquiry.
3. this modern world. back in the olden days we were assured that computers would make life easier.

HR
Before TikTok convinced the weak minded that dancing and ranting represent informed thinking, someone created HR, and the HR Director, who generally stir resentment, and made obsolete the admin staff who could type, file documents in the right place, and presented any CVs to the persons best qualified to understand the qualifications of the applicant.

automated telephone responses from ur bank
squeezing the tooth paste tube from the middle
" how much to go....?"
"Up to you..."

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Blame shifting is the modern malaise that has replaced problem solving,why bother when you can just make out that it’s someone else’s fault and move on with polishing your nails etc?
As for social media do NOT even get me started!

Re: Pet peeves, niggles and minor annoyances
…and why is it called Social media, when so much of it is devoted to being anything but?!
Re: Pet peeves, niggles and minor annoyances
Something that always gets me.
When someone asks for advice on a subject matter-- then people start applying their personal views without answering the question
sample responses ie: drugs are bad, I would never allow it in the first place, You really shouldn't do that, resigning/quitting a job- (giving notice)
It's dangerous blah blah blah
I usually see that on reddit or quora
If someone asks a question-- just answer it.

Of course it’s Asinine. All computers are personal computers. Alexa says so and so it must be true. Alexa laughs, Siri laughs, Cortana laughs.
I clearly quoted what I was replying to, do it again and do it right.

Re: Pet peeves, niggles and minor annoyances
How about not being able to chat to your overseas bank by computer ( messages app )
Gotta call only a toll free number from a land line which neither is available.
Or wasting time on “ hold “ waiting ..
I solved it by conatacting the bank on social media and have them call me back ..
Business hours are not the same but it works if you don’t mind talking in the middle of the night
Also with the computer company apple , to straighten out any problems requires a phone call .
Why can’t they chat or screen share with you ?
Nuts ..
