Notice: Anytime I see a video with somebody talking direct to the camera and words popping up one-by-one, be guaranteed that I will immediately scroll past.

My audio is always off. I don't have time to watch word-by-word captioned videos that I could read ten times as fast if it were plain text.

I bought a product, there was only a small note in the box with a QR code and explanations on what to do with the code.

The code took me to their Youtube-channel, where I had to dig through all their videos to find this specific product and then watch two ads before getting to the video.

The video was so light on content that most of it was just ego jerking about how good it was that I bought their product, the actual instructions would've fit the stupid card with the QR code.

It’s already two weeks late but, sure, I’ll wait until Monday

I was supposed to have administered the fortnightly medication that stops my Ankylosing Spondilitus from progressing two weeks ago. Somehow, the change over to the generic version led to a holdup that didn’t clear until I had complained and left a lot of voicemails with the hospital.

The consultant was quite certain the company had been trying to reach me. I rarely go out and live by the phone on my computer. I’m telling you they have not tried all that hard.

Regardless, I got a delivery date out of them, which was today. The curiour arrived and wanted a pin. I had no email, no letter, and no text. So he had to leave without giving me my medication.

I waited on hold and finally spoke to someone. They had added an extra letter to my email address, tried texting my landline, and generally had no idea what they were doing (IMHO). The medication will have expired by the time they get it back. I have to call Monday to raise a new order. That’s three to five more days of things slowly getting worse permanently.

I will be complaining.

Seeing a post that someone else has boosted but being unable to boost it myself because I already boosted it previously.

If I give you a big ol’ integer and say “I think this might be a combination of nCr something… but I don’t remember n or r— or maybe it’s just some integer.

How do you efficiently test to see if it’s a possible result from that formula?

I mean I could make a list up to the needed digits and search, but that isn’t very elegant. Other ideas?

the most annoying thing people say when they find out what I do for a living?
"Oh nice, I wish I had a job without stress."

Most annoying sale flyers, ever, come from REI.

No prices, only "x percent off!!"

Why do some automated systems force people to use their voices when they call in?

Whatever happened to press one for this, press two for that— you can’t even bypass some of these systems with the old tricks.

I'm listening to a crow yelling to its friends and wondering why the hell crows are categorized as songbirds

I may have spent more of today than I'll admit in creating tiny beepy things with #MicroPython that chirp in accordance with Dolbear's “law” of cricket chirp rate vs temperature

Well that's #annoying

#opensource chat server Rocket Chat decided to make their latest upgrade plain abusive. If you run your own, you are now *required* to enrole in a trial of their premium proprietary nonsense and it's likely the server is spying on it's admins and users.

*great*

Looks like #inkscape is going to have to move chat systems. There's just no way to regain trust in an upstream that is abusive. Not without forking away from the abusers.

My son has learned how to whistle. I’m about to cut his lips off after the last 3 weeks.

Good morning.

We still have a land line telephone, though we both have cell phones as well. The home phone is inundated with calls from telemarketers, which is annoying at best. I get the idea, that it's a job for somebody, but I don't entertain the idea of doing any business, I didn't initiate, with strangers over the telephone. Another weird thing is that often when we answer the phone and say hello, there is nothing from the other end - quiet. Lately, I've taken up a tactic that I use when I don't recognize a number and I get a call ID description of wireless caller or out of area. I answer the phone as:" Alfred's Unicycle Universe."
