Pet Peeves

Uber is another one. Not one I would guess many have come across on here since we don't have Uber in Ireland but when I lived abroad the only customer service they provide is a bot that chats back to you. I found a customer care number after a bit of searching at one point only to be told that it was only for drivers when I called and that they don't provide any call in service for customers.

That female bot you get when you call Apple is so annoying I just keep repeating 'customer care' over and over again until it connects with a human.

Technology replacing people. Similar to what is mentioned above. I was in a supermarket when a robot zipped past me. I think it was cleaning the floor. Easily done by a person. Same, I was in an airport and was brought food in a restaurant by a robot. The future is here and it is a bit grim.

If only there was some sort of warning about the dangers, like a movie or two....

I've made three cups of coffee since getting to work this morning - not instant either, the good stuff.

I've had to pour three cups of cold coffee down the sink because inept cunts keep interrupting my few meagre minutes of peace.

Man that happens me every day at work. I make a grand hot mug of coffee and by the time I get to take a sip it's stone cold

I hope there's a special place in Hell for whoever started putting elastic in denims 🤬

[Emphyrio]

I dunno, I like the fact that the elastic makes me still squeeze into a medium. Like an extra medium. Not quite ready to accept I may be a "large".

[Anvil]

Is it just me but I actually detest being called mate by anyone, especially people who are definitely not my mate? Does my head in, especially in work messages.

[Carnage]

It's not just you.

If my father called someone 'mate' it was wise to separate them, he only used it with someone he detested.

I'm funny with the word mate. I can't bring myself to say it, even though everyone uses it in Aus, all the time. I have no problem being called mate, particularly by Aussies or Brits, but it jars a bit coming from Irish people. It doesn't bother me, it just seems a bit... unnatural maybe? I did accidentally say it recently and it was like an out of body experience

I've a lovely pair of jeans that I didn't think I'd fit into before I tried them on, but the wee touch of elastic in them and they're fecking great.

[Emphyrio]

Exactly, just that little titch is perfect.

Same as Irish lads saying "bro", just sounds retarded
