Things that irritate you - Part 4

People that insists on calling about something that could have been a two line whatsapp. Or sending long voice notes during the day when I'm busy. I've now just started ignoring people like that, even family.

I don't understand why Whatsapp is not making use of AI to transcribe voice notes.

Yesterday's irritation: people who hog the machines at gym. There was one teenage guy on the curl machine. He was there at least 20 min, and in that time he did two sets of three reps each with each arm. The rest of the time looking at his phone.

Lol, you have to make them uncomfortable by asking them and waiting there. They either put in the sets or leave.

My pet peeve is the stair master where people go stand on it slumped over clearly too tired or too weak to use the thing gainfully. If you have to hold on for dear life it's time to get off. Harder to wait on that one cause theyre up there and it would be rude to stop them so you can ask how much longer.

There doesn't need to be a fire trail. The other car is hot too on a dry corn field.

AI Overview
A vehicle's catalytic converter can easily ignite a corn field or dry crop fire when hot underbody parts contact dry vegetation.

How Catalytic Converters Cause Field Fires
• Extreme Temperatures: Normal operating temperatures range from 400°F to 1,200°F (200°C to 650°C), and failing or clogged converters can surge past 1,500°F to 3,000°F.
• Direct Contact: Parking, idling, or driving a vehicle through tall, dry corn stalks or grass places dry plant material directly against the radiant heat of the exhaust system.
• Expelled Debris: A broken or melting internal honeycomb structure can fracture and shoot superheated metal chunks out of the exhaust tailpipe or underbody into dry crops.
• Dry Conditions: Low humidity, wind, and dry seasonal crops (like mature cornfields during harvest) create an ideal environment for instant combustion.

Prevention and Safety Tips
• Avoid Tall Grass and Crops: Never drive, park, or idle a car, truck, or SUV over dry fields, unpaved stubble, or tall roadside vegetation.
• Fix Engine Misfires Immediately: A flashing check engine light or rough idle means unburned fuel is entering the exhaust, which overheats and destroys the catalytic converter.
• Carry Emergency Gear: If working or driving near dry agricultural land during high-risk seasons, keep a shovel, fire extinguisher, or water tank accessible.
 
The office in which I work has been excessively noisy today. It has reached a point where I will be addressing it directly (without getting angry).

It is open plan. The noisy bunch are right behind me. When they're in the office the chat and laugh throughout the day (except when they all go to the canteen together for lunch). I have noise cancellation on my headphones, but I can only go so loud with my music to block their inconsiderate behaviour.
