minor things that make you fume

[carlos21]

Made me laugh that, can just imagine all the fyoooom!

Today's gripe for me is that the 'Volume up' button on my phone has packed in. So now when listening to music, I have to unlock the phone, open the volume app and do it there. Sounds silly but it's a total ball ache!

Afternoon mate you watch nfl last night

Call centres and to be more exact those bleeding awful voice recognition 'option' systems.

Tell me why you are calling today?

Put me through to some knacker

So you want to cancel your account, is that right?

No, put me through to an actual human you automated piece of crap

So it's about your broadband, is that right?

*smashes phone on desk*

Or you could just answer the automated questions and get put through to the right person.

...or they could have an actual human directing the calls like...

Just a thought...

This sort of telephony and the awful foreign based call centres that general accompany it, is 'customer service' dreamt up by bean counters, who've never been in front a customer in their lives.

Large companies will have a range of specialist teams, and often a range of sub teams within them. The routing system just gets you to the right person.

Or I suppose you'd rather be transferred from pillar to post as someone tries to locate the right person for you?

I'll agree on the overseas centres though, with their super-faux politeness. Nauseating.

Hiya mate how are you today

People who make backwards naive comments like this

Hit a nerve there?

 

[Charlie Sweet]

The state of toilets at petrol filling stations is a disgrace. You have all plush BP or Esso signage, massively expensive sweets and snacks and now typically a half decent coffee concession.

And then toilets straight out of the third world.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Cold toilet seats, doesn't make me fume, just annoyed !

No matter how much you brace yourself it still gives you a little shock.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Nope just think it's a utterly pre historic view and makes you seem totally off pace with current world.

And it annoys me you think content creating online and to make a job out of that is "easy" when it's not


I tip my hat to anyone who can do it.

It's the new and best way to consume media and is better than television

Oh, it is easy. It's why more of this generation feel its a good career path to attempt.

The problem is "dropping" on something that get success. Which is few and far between in the whole scheme.

And off pace? Clearly. Especially when I see people making millions based on content they don't create (react videos, gaming videos, etc).

There is originality out there. Never had a bug bare with that.

I have an annoyance when some feller makes millions playing a video game some other guy developed who won't get anywhere those figures money wise, or the brat whos never had a job and makes millions chatting about shoes who can't turn the autofocus off their camera.

And better than TV? Depends on your attention span and the appreciation of talent.

I will respond to this later as I'm busy but this post screams of naivety and jealousy. You must be a much older guy.

Which tends to be the generic reply.
