People feeling the need to announce they're not doing something.
Just don't do it!

Same as people who go on about how they’ve never done some popular thing. At the moment it’s watched Friends. See also GoT, any reality TV, etc etc.

I don't have a printer as I use one so infrequently the heads dry out and they stop working. Also it would be pretty easy to forge a self printed statement so is hardly proof of anything.

I mean it’s accepted. I haven’t had paper bills for years and never had any issue just emailing across a PDF I got from the app

Same here!I cant get virgin to stop sending me monthly paper statements....and they charge me for the privilege every month too....
It's been going on for ages... must be loads of businesses making millions out of this kind of recurring nominal nuisance charging, knowing full well most people cant be arsed to waste their time in a phone queue or on a chatbot trying to clear security etc. Just in order to save £1.75 per month....
I tried to stop it but they made it impossible. When I shared a house our account was under my name, but we changed suppliers and cancelled. Moved into my own place and got Virgin again, only to find out I can't control my new account online because my email address is still linked to the old account that they never actually closed. Spent ages talking to someone to essentially just get shrugged at.

Advert again for me. This time the magnum mini one and on more than 1 level. If someone ate an ice cream near me and made that noise I would kill them. I think the ad is disingenuous as she is supposed to be eating a magnum mini & it looks like a normal magnum. Finally it is about my dislike of all magnums and other products sold as ice creams that aren't. Magnums are made in a factory alongside paint stripper, washing up liquid and other chemical products and the difference between it and them are just different chemicals. There is no cream in them and just a small percentage of dried milk powder which is why they can't put on the packaging "dairy ice cream". Buy dairy ice cream, not this shit!

TBF the difference between you and paint stripper is also different chemicals…
Though I agree about real ice cream.

Just the amount of negativity online.
Fire up X or tiktok for even a minute and it's all about protests and our country is in danger etc and then the comments is all racism and fear.
Makes you worried about the world and the people you walk past every day.
So I just uninstall the app again and meditate and realise probably more normal people out there that don't post comments online.
One day I won't be tempted to check it at all.

HSBC web chat agent. Spent an hour arguing about how my direct debit was more than it should be - and crucially more than my account said it would be when I checked online, which I said numerous times - until he finally says "I cannot see your account, only your statement, so you'll have to speak to our specialist team".
Why not fucking say that at the start instead of us going round in circles?!

That's strange, I use X and instagram reels more than anything and neither show me any of that. In fact it's where I go to avoid it.
Tbh I rarely, if ever, look at the news in any format so it probably just never enters my algorithm.

If you haven’t already, follow MrP ICT on YouTube/TikTok. Funny and useful for any teacher but especially computing.

It recommends short wave radio videos for me, along with Lego. It's only a matter of time before it shows me a short wave radio made out of Lego.
Facebook keeps suggesting posters I've never heard of, who live half way round the world and aren't on any friend's list as 'people you may know'.
