Yes, but MacNeil/Lehrer (sadly), aren’t there anymore.

Do you have USPS Informed Delivery? It’s a handy way to see what’s coming in your mail ahead of time. Trouble is, when a merchant sends you something they often use a shipping app life Shopify. So the USPS shows Shopify as the sender. Usually that doesn’t matter much but now we’ve got a...

It drives me bonkers when I’m trying to read a web page article and all the time ads are loading and changing size and what I’m interested is jerked up and down and off the screen. Jerk is a good word for it because I feel really jerked around. I was just on the National Geographic page and I...

@Clinton McClure May I extend my deepest sympathies to you for your trials and tribulation. That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. I’d like to congratulate you for not losing your temper and abusing the staff. You. Are a scholar and a gentleman.

What annoys me is to be on a web page that is constantly updating. I’m reading an article and the text keeps going up and down as the commercials on the right update and change size. Grrrr!

@Corneileous I was looking at your avatar and couldn’t make it out (old eyes), then I enlarged it saw it was a pug, it is a pug, right? Pugs always make me smile. Had one when I was a kid.

I have to agree completely. This kind of behavior had been going on forever. Covid has amplified it. Recently my Humane group took in a 17 year-old cat that had had only one owner it’s entire life. He was moving to Florida and didn’t want to be bothered with it. Ages ago, when we moved from...

Ever listen to the podcast “West Wing Weekly”? If you haven’t you should. The hosts have pointed out things like that. Even though they love the show they will criticize where necessary.

I end up reading an old thread, and I see someone who’s been banned and I can’t remember what they did. Sometimes I wish the HTF had a Hall of Shame. Just kidding, moderators, all in fun.

When it’s bad out of the box, it goes back to the merchant who sold it. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

This exactly. As content moved from analogue to digital, instead of making it more convenient for the customer, the provider has often chosen to exercise more control and inconvenience the customer. There are two reasons I want to watch the end credits: 1) I like to look at actor names to...

What pisses me off is all the streaming services that don’t let you turn off auto-play, GD it! Combine that with the fact that different services use different keys to back out of auto-play, and it really sucks. Lemme just watch the end-credits, would ya!

People who don’t adjust their driving based on the weather.

Overly long YouTube instructional videos. I.E. there’s one titled “Finally! LG’s No Signal Message Can be Turned off.” Now that can be explained in 2 minutes or less. The video is 8:20. Gimme a break. I’ve watched many YouTube videos that last 20 minutes that should have been 10. The...

Hospital staff see the best and worst of us. I’ll bet they plenty real spousal abuse. I wouldn’t jump all over them because they made a mistake in this case.

Jeez, @David_B_K She not only fell, but had a fall from a height. I so happy it turned out well for you. That photo give me the willies.

To make it worse, it’s a medical emergency and the ambulance crew doesn’t have the time to report these jerks.

I think maybe you don’t need that extra cerveza. ;)

Please elaborate.

Is usually tell it like this: If a husband speaks in the forest, and his wife does not hear him, is he still wrong?

If she’s there to answer the question, of course the answer is yes. ;)

What happened? Did your wife slug you?:D

That would have been my move. This reminds me of a time when I was driving home from work in the dark on a freeway. Then a 1/2 or 1 mile ahead I see headlights moving around and even pointing up. I immediately slowed down and was going slow when I arrived at the wreck. One time when the dark...

:oops:

CNN said rental prices have gone up 85% in the past year. I have learned from this pandemic how little many people care about sanitation. The refusal to wear masks is one example. I know people who will NOT wash their hands after using the restroom. Even if they’ve wiped themselves they...

Sometimes we need a “groan” button.

What company was this?

When the first amphibious fish crawled out of the sea, the second amphibious fish was a litterbug.

Are they unwilling to make house calls?

I don’t watch much TV golf anymore, but I did watch “Lefty” win the PGA yesterday. Oh jeez, I’m so sick of these “In the hole” assholes. They scream the phrase whenever a golfer strike the ball, even when it’s impossible to hole out. And tournament crowd behavior has really declined over the...
