I believe this may have been done before, but ill fitting glass doors on toilets, wtf is that all about?
We were staying in a self catering apartment and while i'm hunched over cleaning up after dropping the kids off at the pool, she's looking across from the open fridge asking if I want a beer. Noo, just nooooo!
Never mind the ill-fitting bit; glass doors on a loo?

"Assorted" plasters.

Clearly "assorted" now means "fking useless". A box full of stupid shapes, most of which you will never use, and the manufacturers revolutionary fking Useless (TM) glue. Why do they even make them?
Highly recommend dependaplast. Their assorted box has a useful selection, but even if you just buy one type they are easily the best plasters I have used - and not expensive

People who "top quote" on PH (ie. click Quote and then add their contribution above the quote block rather than below it).
It breaks the quoting mechanism when you then quote their reply unless you use Quote All and hand edit it.

Conversely, people who "bottom quote" in emails.

Self service machine giving two 5 pence pieces for 10p change
Whats wrong with talking to a human.
Nothing. It's my preferred option. But there was a queue to be served by the human and two free self service machines. I was buying a loaf (90p) and had in my hand a pound coin. What would you have done?

You're obviously not staying in the right places smile
On recent trips away i've stayed in two hotels (one was a Hilton) which had windows between room and bathroom and one which had a double swing (saloon type) frosted glass door. What you couldn't make out through the glass you could through the gaps around the edge if you wanted to!

Places that don't take card
Places that have humans doing seemingly trivial things, such as fast food shops taking orders.
Use card? And have to declare it to the taxman??? Surely not! smile

Companies that have Twitter profiles, but never answer (sensible) questions.

Yesterday I Tweeted a company and asked "what's your Easter opening hours?" (Their website suggested they were open every day as per normal. But I doubt they are open Sunday tbh)

24 hours on and no answer. Which kinda suggests they weren't open today laugh


But why have Twitter at all? In the old days Emails were ignored by big companies, now it seems Twitter is following.

About 80% of PH. This place would be pretty quiet without them.

But it'd be more interesting, wouldn't it? You wouldn't need to wade through tons of st to find something worth reading.

I couldn't agree more, just as bad are the people that pander to them. The internet has bred a World of seemingly helpless people who can't live without asking someone to wipe their arse for them.

Saying "OK Google" in twenty regional accents to an android smartphone only to repeatedly receive the reply "If you just said something, I didn't know what it was".

I seem to recall having to say "OK Google" the first time I used it so that it learnt my voice.

Go to Google Home, settings, voice, OK Google Detection and see if you can retrain voice detection, or turn on From any Screen to run the voice training.
