ATM machines that face south (ish) and seem to be perfectly angled to face the sun. Making them impossible to view the screen.

Similar thing although totally different here.
Sat nav on my phone. Have an old Volvo with a sunroof. The sun nearly always shine here at this time of the year. You can't see the screen. When I turn the volume down then back up it does three of the four bars. But it doesn't do the Sat Nav volume. I keep missing turns.
But hoping to beat the sun god. Pick a convertible up next Monday. Have bought a new stereo for it. It includes Sat Nav so no more 30 minute detours

In Cafe Nero Rugby yesterday I was not offered a knife at all to spread the butter on my tea-cake (after they didn't bother doing it themselves). My partner resourcefully found a couple of wooden coffee stirrers and we mashed it and spread it the best we could with those. Rubbish service.
I sometimes like to sit and see how long it takes me to work out what an advert is for (sad). Lloyds adverts are completely pointless, don't make any sense and no idea what they're for until the end.

I like the guess the advert game tbf. There are a few adverts that are so bland and lack any basic info about the thing that they are trying to sell that I can see them four or five times and still be oblivious.
I'm going to add the smug prick that does the voiceover for the Honda adverts on the radio, the self satisfaction that he delivers whatever bullshit he is trying to pedal beggars belief.

The way the Mail and Express refer to Tory MPs by their first names as if to make them more friendly. And the way they underline words in their headlines to make them appear strong ie SUELLA: WE WILL (underlined) STOP THE BOATS. or RISHI SAYS TAX CUTS ARE (underlined) COMING

This shit from newspapers. I’d read/heard the “AI to kill us all in two years” headline from ten different places this morning before seeing this:
See also literally every CET CCFC story headline.
It’s worse than just shitty click bait because no fucker clicks the links and the headline gets taken away and I know I’ll be having conversations about it for years to come.

Absolutely with you on this. Mainstream media should not resort to colloquialisms and slang when there are perfectly suitable words in the dictionary.

Just did it again on 4 News whilst talking about Ukraine. Pathetic!

Any cafe that uses paper/plastic/styrofoam/wooden cups, plates, cutlery for "inside" - I just walk away without ordering.
Only exception is fast food which can be eaten without any cutlery or 'crockery'.
I also would never return to a place that just leaves a teabag in for me to grapple with.
People tolerate cheap and nasty too readily.

I've noticed this, you can see big patches under trees. Is it particularly bad this year, it's not something I've noticed so much. I'm assuming it's because it's been dry but we've had periods like this before ...

The unprecedented (to my beak) nuclear levels of pollen these last couple of days. Three different one a day tablets and 8 sniffs of spray deep and I’m still a snotty, sneezing mess. Had to come indoors two hours into my garden day

People who cut the corner when turning right causing me to slow down to avoid crashing into them!

On my estate every morning at 5:45, drivers getting into the factory just behind the estate, cut the corner and don’t care about what’s coming. With parked cars that make it even narrower. So now I take up more space and watch them slam those brakes and smile at them.

Moving my truck as far left as I can because the oncoming massive VW Polo driver doesn’t think he or she can get past, when you’d easily fit another truck.
Roundabouts, car parks, corners, whatever. People’s piss poor lack of judgement when it comes to space negotiation…

They also do that when leaving Morrisons car park which prevents shoppers from leaving the store as they have to wait for the car to finish turning left before it turns right.

Modern phones with no earphone jack, Bluetooth ones are far less convenient imo

Depending on your phone you can get a connector that goes from USB to a Headphone Jack - Amazon product ASIN B0B2PVWZY3
I got some Google Earbuds with my phone but I don't use them out and about as they are so expensive I worry one will fall out.

I saw some teenage lads on their way home from school yesterday with massive coats on, jumpers etc. Bet they fucking stunk.

Got to say I admire their commitment to looking like twats. Saw similar with a young lad at the tram stop in trackies, hoodie, hat and gloves.

Squeezy ketchup/mayonnaise dispensers that you have to throttle to obtain the content only for it to squirt a dollop akin to a rhino plop on your plate/sandwich.

I've just got a new pixel but only realised when I went to plug my earphones in that there was no jack. I've got some cheap Bluetooth ones but the sound quality isn't great and I don't think they fit well. Like for like the cost of an good pair of wired earphones is much less than some good Bluetooth ones.

I think you’ll see wired less and less TBH. Bluetooth is one of those “good enough” technologies that means it’s not worth the tiny cost to have the Jack as well.
I’m sure we’ll be here in five years having the same conversation about charging sadly, just makes everything like water and dust resistance easier/cheaper if you can remove ports.
