Womens football was banned by men for 50 years. Not surprising its so far behind in many aspects.
No issue with women’s football but I wish they’d stop shoving it down our throats. I don’t want to watch it for the same reason I don’t watch my local pub team play every week.
...When you order Lee Hendrie from Wish.
Customer service responses that get ridiculously defensive. I'm saying it's *my* fault I've broken a part, and am asking if it's possible to *buy* a replacement. Not sure why that means they have to get arsey and obstructive, when a simple sorry no would suffice!
Having to listen to one of the directors talk about all the "bantoss" he has with one of his mates. Makes me glad I never normally have to go into the office.
Energy companies. Just bought our own place and letter through from Eon saying estimated annual price of £2,855. However, they recommend we set up a direct debit for £386 per month. Not sure on the maths myself…
Worth saying that they usually over estimate (always have done in my experience) so their recommended DD is even further out
Buying a product called “UnbreakCable” that is now broken
I know your pain I bought those titan ones of Facebook for iPads you can tow a lorry with them, all broke within months and they are not cheap.
Next time show it with a 7 year old for ten minutes and I might consider it.
I have started getting cheaper ones from amazon keeping the boxes and when they break sending them back and get replacements.
Now that’s smart thinking. Will have to try that. My house is full of broken or half broken lightning chargers. It’s a joke.
People that call you out of the blue on Teams without messaging you first.
Just because I'm on green doesn't mean I am immediately available for a call!

This. It’s the equivalent to walking up to someone in the office standing in front of their monitor and starting to talk to them.
And 90% of the time there’s no need for the call anyway. Learn to communicate asynchronously people!
Also, i'm now in an office now with other people. I cannot talk to you on teams spontaneously. Just call my extension!
people that use the word in bold (coz I had to google it).
People who send you meeting invitations without asking/checking if you’re free is even worse.
It isn't really, it's more like phoning somebody's house but knowing they are at least home.
I'm not sure i 100% agree with you on this one, but everyone has their different ways of working, i suppose.
The whole idea of Teams, etc., is to enable more flexible working amongst colleagues who are scattered to the winds, but it depends also on how people like to work. Personally, i'm happiest getting my thoughts down "on paper" and sending emails, but my boss will always call me on Teams for a quick chat. Often, it is quickest to get resolution on something from a 2 minute chat - but people do need to respect your boundaries.
If i want to talk to a member of the team, i'll drop them a note in Teams to say "Got 5?" or "Free?", then i would hope that they would either call me or say "Yep" and i'll call them.
There are different status indicators on Teams which allow you to be "Focussing" or "Do not disturb", and that will block certain callers, but if you are green, it's open season , subject to being polite!
If when you phoned someone’s house the entire house started blaring the ringtone and took over their field of vision, yes.
You have a very small field of vision. The Teams dial tone is quieter than your average phone unless you have your volume inexplicably loud.
The things people argue about on here are incredible.
I did think it while writing the reply but thought "fuck it"
I'm back in the office after several years working from home and I'm finding it astonishing how little work is done and how much time is spent fucking around and talking everything over. And even if you don't want to get involved you are dragged into it anyway. My productivity has dropped through the floor
