Things that irritate you - Part 2

The week before payday

I'm currently being spoilt by having salary paid in on the 20th, if I ever return to another schedule I am going to suffer a bit

Mine is on the 23rd, would also suck if I change jobs and have to go back to the 25th or later.

The week before payday

Lucky tomorrow for me, couldn't come sooner, driving on fumes and smoking air.

File is stored locally on my laptop. Nowhere else. No special drives or anything.
Me - Try open it
Laptop - this file is already open
Me - Close it. Open again
Laptop - I done told you, this file is already open
Me - muthaf#%&!er it's not, close it open again
Laptop - OK cool

Happens few times a day.

Few things frustrate me more than when you get stuck behind a twat going 30 in a 60 zone, then you take some crafty side-streets to try and get ahead of him - only to hit all the red traffic signals and end up behind the same twat again just as you reach your destination

RAID failure

on a test NAS... so no data lost, except my time. And no spare HDD's.

Or you finally get to overtake but at the next robot he slips past in the turning lane whilst going straight. This consistently happens.

What type of file?
There is often a temporary file created in the same folder when you access the file. It sometimes works if you delete this temp file - but it depends on what type of file.

Oh yes, I see it often here as well. Mostly taxis that pull that move though

The DStv myth

The DStv myth DStv is often seen as a luxury which can be cut when times are tough, but financial planning expert David Kop warned that this decision can cost some people more than what they save. Kop told Finweek that he recently had a consultation with a client in financial distress and...

Crazy price gouging of inverters and batteries. You !@#$@#'ers are already making a profit, no need to make it even tougher for regular joes to survive load-shedding. Way to help us in tough times.

Had a pleasant dream that I somehow upgraded to a new car - checked the garage this morning, still the old one standing there

 

[PhreakBoy]

Took my car for a service and got dropped off by a driver. He was listening to Kaya FM (I generally listen to iTunes in the car).

They had a discussion about expectations from budget speech and this woman phones in to complain that she thinks it is unfair that she should pay the same tax rate for earning slightly above R1,5m per annum as someone who earns R3m per annum.

In her words, people earning above R3m are generally old white guys and they should be well off enough already and thus be taxed at an even higher rate. (more than 45%)

She kept saying she doesn't want to make it about race, but kept coming back to that same generalisation.

I'm irritated by someone earning R1,5m being petty like that and I'm irritated by the generalisation.

It's all about nailing the whites but have you looked around while driving. Almost every new expensive car is driven by non-whites?

Most people that drive those fancy cars never own them. It is called Residual. They trade them in every 2 years so the car never really belongs to them (unless they have an accident).

No one cares.
