What's worse is that I had added an item to my car for R550 in the morning that I wanted to buy waiting for a voucher. Then the evening that item jumped to R950 as the number on special got sold out.
Me being greedy cost me R400
Ouch the amount you would've saved

Take a potassium supplement, that helped me a lot with cramps.

The worse cramp is the stomach cramp while doing ab exercises at the gym. Trying to pretend as if everything is okay, yet standing there with pain. I don’t wish that pain on my worst enemy….

Tks for the potassium tip.

That's the worst, trying not to grimace in public :laugh:

youtube scammers - these okes will post a reply to your reply, insinuating that they are the official spokespiece for that channel (they name themselves channelname@official_telegram) or something like that so all looks good and proper.

then they will lead you on a merry song and dance, and ask you to pay for some sort of ID with which you can claim prizes - and then disappear.

I went along with one, until it came to the payment story, then I stopped there, things was not feeling kosher. Contacted the producer of the channel directly, and got the low-down from him that these guys scam people.

Disgusting.

When someone who does tech support for a living, requires next level support from you but instead of providing as much detail as possible, they send you one liners akin to "It's not working". And when you ask for the missing information piece by piece, because they also respond to each question with as little information as possible, you are perceived as being difficult or unhelpful.

I have this every day, they also just seem to want to drop it cause it's too hard. It's like everyone can get to my web app but this one part of the LAN, where would the problem be? Keep dropping it back to me, it's like have you done any troubleshooting??

Exactly, it gets to the point where you are doing their job because they just give up without even trying. Or maybe it's just that they don't feel like working at all.

Yup we have an entire IT department, yet they can barely tie their own shoes by the looks of it sigh. I mean the level of skill IT departments seem to have lately is akin to what we back in the day would've called user level knowledge.
