Things that irritate you - Part 3

Google's Gemini Assistant on Android

Being AI powered, apparently, though the normal assistant was anyway, it's a bit more coherent, but still quite poor, kinda like adding icing and a cherry to a dried turd, that insists on narrating any task you give it, especially annoying when using it to play something on Spotify and it takes 35 seconds to repeat what you just said before it does it.

Still better than siri

Also shite at basic reminder requests, kinda seems like that's something simple enough it should have it down to a tee.

I really outdid myself this time. Since Eskom wasn't doing it I decided to do have a blackout on my own. Got so s**tfaced I decided to s** in the shower and bath, missing the toilet altogether. Had to do cleanup before the Bok game.

Damn,I crap a lot.

I swear a couple didn't make it out in time - I sure hope they did.

They probably made the calculations. Giving you a small salary bump will save them costs on their total salary bill.

Gonna cost them more in the long run. Penny wise, pound foolish.

I've already set a schedule on my work phone, it goes silent after hours.

If they have an extremely urgent emergency, guess it'll have to wait till the next day (or a Monday if it's over a weekend).

Not my problem. Not gonna work for free.

so the standby is not specified in the contract?
 
Is knocking on a door to announce your attention and intention in enter, still considered good manners?
I just educated one of the contractors who just clicked his tongue and walked into my office without knocking.

Yes, it is still regarded as good manners to knock on the door first and then enter the room.
Even the tactical teams in the police does it... except that they sometimes use battering rams to do the knocking...

I drive a big ass Toyota Land Cruiser some of the time. The hooter is pathetic. Yes, it may have the tone to cut through the noise and be heard but it doesn't do the job when I am pissed off at someone. I looked at replacing it but couldn't find anything better.

But tell me this. Do the taxis come with those powerful hooters? Or do they replace it with a better one? I can't believe they'd go to the expense of replacing it, so perhaps Toyota is pandering to them by installing a different hooter as standard in taxis

The first modification that I did to my almost-new 1999 Jetta3 CLX, back in the day.

My 1983 GTi came with twin hooters as standard.

One day, while I was waiting at a traffic light, I noticed a friend sitting in his car on the opposite side of Cape Road. I hooted to attract his attention, but he was looking all over for that BMW/Mercedes, totally ignoring the humble-looking dark-grey Golf directly opposite him!

Since then I fitted those twin hooters to every car that did not have them.

Just remember to add a relay and in-line fuse!
 
Butter/margarine on bread:

Don't ever slap a bit slap-bang in the middle of a slice, leaving the edges as bone-dry as the Sahara! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Spread it to include the whole slice, right up to the crust! :cool:

How do you know if somebody have money to spend?

When the marge on the bread is spread all over, right up to the crust...
 
I swear to Finagle, I am going to start a petition to make all filter arrows stay on the whole time rather than flash.

Because people pull away when they go green, then stop when they go off, then pull away again when they go green...

(and off-topic, kudos to the city formerly known as PE, where they have yield left on just about every stop where it's justified).

And yet we STILL have idjits that come to a full stop at that same yield sign, just so that they can move all the way over to the outer lane instead of just driving on into the very lane that was provided! :rolleyes:

And they get very aggressive if you dare hoot at them for being so fuggen stupid!!!! :X3:
