Minor modern annoyances

[stek]

Trying to click 'OK' fruitlessly on a dialogue box getting wound up about why it won't accept it, 'Cancel' not working either and then realising it's an Alt-Pr-Scn grab I'd done earlier to prove some point or other.

Yes I've just done that.....

IM systems that aren't consistent in what the return key does.

Half of them use it add a new line and the other half send the message.

The one we have here is the opposite, your hands would dry quicker if an elf blew on them.

Isn't it your company?

Refer yourself a couple of those Amazon vouchers and buy a new one!

It will insist on storing random tulip and there is no way to switch it off or train it (the three thumbs down button is ignored repeatedly)

You have to delete all the tulip it stores one by one, there is no nuke button

No you don't - assuming you're on about deleting individual shows rather than at the series level.

You can delete all from a series using the 'clear' button (bottom left IIRC), but remember to delete the series link first otherwise it'll save it all over again for you. Linky

This happened last night! I needed the cashpoint and a woman was busy using it. Another woman was stood some way from her so I asked if she was waiting to use it. She was so I stood behind her to wait for my turn. Woman number 1 finished off and left the machine. Woman number 2 wanders over and then starts to look for her card through all the mountains of crap that she had hold of. We had both been waiting for a couple of mins before that, so why not use that standing around doing fook all time to get what you need in order to use the machine. You are waiting to use a cashpoint - you know it needs your card, so is it too much to expect for you to have it ready before you get to the machine. She literally prolonged the time it took me to get to my beer by a good 45 seconds. It's usually a woman, and they are probably the same ones who at the checkout will bag all their stuff and wait to see the final bill before looking for their card

Oh yeah, the couple in front of me a few weeks ago - wantted mini statements from half a dozen cards.

Feckers who let you sign up for a service via a simple web form but won't let you cancel unless you do so via registered post and preferably the soul of your first born.

The Log in process for RBS. You hit the log in on the front page, put all your details in including the second page asking your password etc and THEN it tells you that you need to log in to the England and Wales site and start all over again. WTF!!! Why have a log in button on the front page that a vast majority of your customers won't be able to use.
