How the **** do you download a (proof of) payment PDF via the FNB app? Via browser the option is right there next to recent payments, in the app I can't see ****. They push the app so hard but make you log in for something like this? Or am I being blind here.

People coming up so close behind me while queuing at the till. Especially those whose masks are not worn properly. I try move forward but then they close the gap.

Have you tried telling them to allow you some personal space?

Mr Sandman. Tonight he kicked me good and proper in the shins... and then gapped it like a pack of demons were chasing his sordid tail :(

When people say 'huh' after telling them something, then you have to repeat yourself. Went for a haircut and I had to tell the guy 3 times what to do, because everytime it was 'huh?' Never going back there again.

Also when people start having their breakfast whilst talking on the phone. Someone tried this stunt this week, so I just put the phone down.

Slide-in notifications that slide in and do a cockblock on you if you want to right-click something to change/view doodahs or settings... this happens most of the time on windows 10.

Windows 7 - never had this sort of pooftery. Is there a way of changing where the slide-in notification appears so that it pops out at the top of the screen instead of at the bottom (which is the default)?

Shipping delays!!

First the ****ups at transnet caused our container to miss its ship at Durban. It got slotted onto the next ship, which arrived at Durban 5 days after it was scheduled. That ship departed durban 5 days late again, and has now been sitting at the anchorage outside PE for 4 days waiting for a berth at Coega.

So what was originally supposed to arrive at London gateway port around 26 August is now tentatively scheduled for 11 September. But that's going to slip as well...

What's really annoying though, is that there's a week to two weeks after it arrives in port before it gets to us... and in that container are such unimportant things as, oh, beds, couches, TV, kitchenware... not like we don't fricking need them to live in a currently EMPTY house!

That sucks but on the plus side I have heard (from Varys in ASOIAF) that sleeping on a hard surface is good for your back.

Count your blessings that it's only household goods.
My brother in law has had to put their whole factory on short time due to their materials sitting on a container ship, so there's absolutely no work right now.
