What annoys you? (1 Viewer)

[Stan]

We buy the best quality largest toaster ovens we can find. We use them for everything and rarely use the large oven except for turkey or baking deserts. I make perfect toast every morning with it.
I don't think I have owned a pop up toaster for 50 years.

It's been at least ten years since I used my large oven. Toaster oven takes care of everything, except of course toast. Kind of an odd title when it can't do half of what its name is

I don't like toasted bread unless lightly done, I mostly just like using a toaster to warm the slices.

We got a toaster 12 years ago when we got married and it's been used maybe a dozen times. Same with our blender. Our oven, on the other hand, gets used at least once a week.

Tonight's annoyment is insomnia.

As the weather cools down, thought some hot cereal would be good, so got lazy and bought some of those Quaker Oats instant oatmeal packs. Different flavors with dried raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, apricots, etc.

Total BS. The only fruit was apples, chopped, dehydrated, colored and flavored to look like the other fruits. Made the mistake of not reading the label, never again. Not that it matters, Quaker Oats is now off my list. Found a nice organic brand using steel cut oats a couple days later that had the real ingredients in it.

Wow.

Maybe this toaster/toaster oven controversy needs its own thread!

No need to go that far

Once somebody recommends a really nice toaster, that can handle bagels, waffles, different sizes of bread, I promise not to bring it up again

 

[Kevin Hewell]

Aren't there already combination toaster oven/toaster models available?

Nice post Mike. A slight blank out during the thought process

Or maybe testing that new invisible font?

 

[Mike Frezon]

Huh. I see an image in my post...and even in the quote of mine in your post, Stan.

I guess that's certainly an annoyance.

Bo o!

 

[Malcolm R]

I love the tub sitting on the counter: It Sure Ain't Butter!

...and that both slices of toast came out of the same slot.

It's there now, maybe some delayed reaction with my browser. Dropped Firefox, back to MS Edge again

It's there now, maybe some delayed reaction with my browser. Dropped Firefox, back to MS Edge again

In some ways, I'm quite annoyed by Firefox, the worst aspect being that once the amount of memory used gets to around 800 MB, scrolling down webpages becomes exceedingly slow and tedious. Its one redeeming feature is that I can close it out with "End Task" in Task Manager to memory dump it, and then restart my previous Firefox session with all Tabs intact.

As for MS Edge, I don't anticipate using that browser by choice anytime soon, since I didn't like the fact it seemed to crash at the proverbial drop of a hat! Of course, this is could be a "Your mileage may vary" proposition?

CHEERS!

Latest annoyance: The "faux robbery of the faux celebrity Kardashian".

Assuming it's even real, which I truly doubt, who the f**k cares. Yet it's still in the news, headlines everywhere. Maybe they weren't getting enough publicity and needed to get back in the spotlight.

I've never read a single article about it, the headlines on the web and on the tabloids in the check-out stand provide more than enough. They really need to go away. And whatever happened to that freak Caitlyn? I watched the first episode out of curiosity, absolutely hideous. Thank goodness that seems to have faded away.

 

[TravisR]

^ I saw a headline saying that due to the robbery, Kim has no desire to go back to her old lifestyle. If that's the case, those robbers deserve a parade.

I'm annoyed that I have to get up for work in seven hours and I'm wide awake. Couldn't keep my eyes open this afternoon but I didn't nap so I would be able to sleep tonight. No caffeine since I had a cup of coffee when I got up at five this morning and as soon as I laid down in bed, my mind turned up to eleven.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I'm annoyed that I can't remember the last time I got seven hours of sleep!

Annoying:

Companies that don't make it simple to "unsubscribe" from emails.

Most companies seem to have it figured out, get an email I no longer want to be a part of, click "Unsubscribe" and it says basically, You are unsubscribed. But there are some that when you click unsubscribe, it takes you to a webpage and asks you to log in to some ancient account I haven't used in forever, or other hoops to jump through.

Please, just make the process one click and done folks.

 

[Mike Frezon]

And, of course, that's just the legit companies who don't make it easy.

Try to "unsubscribe" from a spam e-mail and it just lets them know that you are opening/reading the e-mails and ends up subscribing you to more!
