And that's even worse with a box, you could be in box 1, even seats at one side of the stage, odd seats at the other.
And you could be in Row 1, Box 1, the outer Box 1, or the other Row 1! At least usually if you get the wrong end of a row you can just walk along, if you've got a 1 on your ticket here you could be in one of 6 different places!There's another theatre we've been to a few times that numbers the seats in a row 1, 3, 4, 7.......8, 6, 4, 2 which is equally mental. It's also very common to number the rows rather than have letters too.

I think I'm Barry !I was once interviewed in my house for a news item for the national news (the entire story was dropped, which happens all the time it seems, depending on what other news they have), so it was never shown.
But they interview you, and ask the same questions over and over again, slightly differently each time. But they don't tell you that's what they are going to do, so it started and after being asked the same thing for the third time, it took me all my time not to say "I've just answered that, are you stupid or something?". But I must have had a look on my face that said "What on earth are you asking me that again for?"

I am not sure they even knock these days, just dump it on the doorstep and change the status to "handed to resident"

It might well be the case that these people have never actually used or encountered a regular telephone, and so have no idea that a mobile works well in much the same manner and orientation?
Or they might just be monumentally stupid.
This is a strangely popular gripe, and I myself have been guilty of mobile phone ergonomic heresy. Or they might just be monumentally stupid.
Can we have a graphic representation of the correct and accepted way
of holding a mobile so as not to be the subject of ridicule and mockery.
There's a speaker at the top and a microphone at the bottom.
It's not rocket surgery.
I'd send you a picture of the speaker on my phone, but, er, oh well you work it out.

It's still reasonable to be annoyed about people having speaker conversations in public places in the first place, of course.
There's nowt wrong with putting the phone on a surface and having a hands free speaker conversation, that's what the feature is for.
But why would anyone do that outdoors on their own on the hoof rather that just holding it in the prescribed and designed manner?
It's plain stupid. That's not even opinion, it's fact.
