How strange. I've owned (and used) a strimmer for the last 20 years; I've had to change the spool once - pull old one of, push new one on - just once, and apart from that it just gets on with it!

I don't understand. The line comes on a spool. You put the spool on the spline and stick the line through the hole on the side. Done.

Not on my Stihl. You have to reload the cartridge with cord. Costs buttons though.

Strimmer wire reloading !
Good one.

Also strimmer wire not spooling out, so you have to stop, take off safety gear, disassemble strimmer cartridge, get wire in correct positions, curse when it fights back, finally reassemble, put the safety gear back on, start strimmer. Wait ten minutes and repeat.

I just use a refill line because I am cheap and I can use a thicker line....

Ive got a battered old B&D jobbie that someone gave me, it gets used infrequently & the only way to get more cord out is to dig it out with a screwdriver.
I can't get the cassette to release so I don't know what I'll do when it finally runs out.
Give it to someone else Or chuck it over the neighbours fence I suppose.

People with restless leg syndrome. In the dentist's waiting room the other day there was a chap drumming his heel against the floor. I had to go and wait in the corridor because it was annoying me so much.
Add to this, finger drummers. Arrrgh! Some people just seem incapable of 'doing nothing' for even a few seconds without making this irritating racket.

I once worked with someone who would briefly 'drum' on every desk as he walked past it. I wanted to electrify mine!
Another would 'drum' on their computer mouse while they waited for a page to load or for a response from whatever system they happened to be using.
Supermarket checkout queues...they put their PIN into the payment machine and drum on the machine while it authorises. Arrrgh! Stop it, just stop it!!

I could cheerfully chop their hands off, that'd shut them up.

Occasionally I get cash out the ATM.

Last time:
- Put card in
- Enter PIN
- Select $40
- Select no receipt
- Wait, wondering why it isn't doing anything.
- Realise there is a message on the screen "Would you like to make this your favourite withdrawal? Yes/No."

It is a fking ATM, why the fk would I want a favourite withdrawal?

And why are the options only Yes/No? Why isn't there "Never ask me this again you bd?"

"Can we email you the receipt" seems to be getting more common,usually with the tag line of saving paper or the environment.

Er no, because I don't wish to have my mail box junked up by every promotion that you and your "carefully" selected partners will spam me with every single day.

I also am getting fed up of amazon and currys etc writing asking for feedback and sending the bloody emails at 4am in the morning.

Sometimes I really wonder if you should need a licence before you can breed.

There's a trail running on Comedy Central for 'Broad City'. In it, one of the 'broads' does a standing jump onto the bonnet of a small black hatchback. She's no size 0 and you can practically hear the dent happen.

How long before some lame brain emulates this on my car?
