Delivery drivers who don't use the doorbell but knock quietly on the door.
I am not sure they even knock these days, just dump it on the doorstep and change the status to "handed to resident" 21st Century Man said:

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.

I need to renew my passport (not a British passport).
Went to the PO yesterday and got the photos.
Started the application late yesterday. It generates a single page you take back to the PO for them to lodge. The form includes 2 spots for photos, 35mm wide and 45mm tall - exactly the same size as the pics I got yesterday. So I carefully cut out 2 of the 6 pics and head back to the PO earlier today.
“Have you got more photos? These are too small.”
I pointed out they were the same size as the box on the form, and as the requirements.
“Nope, too small. They need a white border around them. Get more photos and don’t trim them.”
I just stood there looking confused for a moment and walked out, before I said what I was thinking…

They come in a sheet of 6, so I’ll go back again and they can trim them to size.

Twitter became X on 23rd July 2023, however news sites are still saying X formely know as Twitter.
I wonder when they will stop that and just call it X.
X is a stupid name. People including myself will still be calling it Twitter in 10 years time (if they're still around then).I wonder when they will stop that and just call it X.
