Sometimes when I put my Porsche key in my pocket, the keyring holds one of the buttons down which causes the car to lock/unlock.
Sometimes it's even worse than that and the boot lid flicks up.

when having the key in my pocket whilst washing the S8, it keeps thinking i am thumbing the handle buttons so the fking thing locks and unlocks constantly. I have to unlock it, start it (so the door mirrors unfold), turn it off, exit but not lock it, then put the key out of the way somewhere.

Also on a related note, the car-jacking prevention locking system, whilst a good idea, does my fking tits in several times a day.

Me too but you do know you can switch this "helpful" little feature off don't you?

Put a pizza in the oven and set the timer for 21min on my phone. with 11min to go I accidentally paused it for a a length of time that I was unsure of. I'm now going to have to check it every few minutes until it's done.

What the fk sort of pizza takes 21 minutes in an oven?

Is your oven a cardboard box with a candle on it? Or one of those childs toy easybake things with a little light inside?
Or was it a super-fat-bd pizza ... or calzone, they take longer as well wink

Quite agree. People don't seem to recognize our plight; you turn on the news and what do you see, blah blah blah world hunger..........blah blah blah third world poverty. The guy had to check his pizza every couple of minutes ffs! Slightly OT but if the pizza in question was exactly the same construction but half the diameter, would the cooking time be the same? And if there was a cat in there with it, would it be dead or alive?

One of my maths teachers when I was in school tried to use a similar problem to teach us algebra, I think. I got in trouble when I pointed out what I thought was obvious:

"It takes Sue 15 minutes to bake a cupcake in the oven. How long would it take for her to bake two cupcakes?"

Which as anyone knows, is 15 minutes, surely, as cupcakes can be baked simultaneously. But no, apparently, the cupcakes had to be baked separately, and so the correct answer was 30 minutes.

The very next question

"It takes 3 hours for a shirt to dry on the washing line. How long does it take for 3 shirts to dry?"

I said 3 hours, but again, I was asked to step outside of the classroom for being disrutpive when I said it was still 3 hours because they could all go together. This coupled with my cupcake answer had me marked down as some kind of malcontent..

They do make a smaller pizza which takes 13-18min @ 200'c. I tend to go for the fresh thin/stonebaked pizzas as I find they're the closest you can get to that italian style pizza taste/texture, plus they cook in about 11min.

I really fancy having a pizza when I get home the evening. I've no idea why.

If it were based on volume, it would take the square root of the time ((πR)^2)

They do, and they're pretty good.
