Little Things that Irk You: Episode V

[teddymeow]

People who cross the road about 4 metres from a legitimate pedestrian crossing just after the traffic lights have gone green.

Couldn't find my work Id and wasn't keen on paying to replace it for $25...or the $300 to drill the safety box for my float as the key was attached.
Found it.

They aren't forcing you to play it and it'll take seconds to uninstall it.

You're really that bothered by something like that?

Normally you're right, and that is the rational choice. I just hate having something like that forced upon me. It irritates me that the 3DS is pushing freemium crap now.

I wasn't in a hurry to get Windows 10 anyway, so this means I'll just wait a tad longer.

[speedlolita]

Isn't it free? That's enough reason for me to finally upgrade from Windows 7 myself.

[VR46]

Free (upgrade from Windows 7 etc) for the first twelve months I believe.

[eastyy]

would be tempted to upgrade but...everything on my system works and just afraid of rocking the boat.

[Dogg Thang]

^same. I see no reason to change unless something really great will happen as a result. Faster system etc. It usually goes the opposite way though.

Sniping kernts on ebay; three items lost in the last 10 seconds....

Got 4G on my phone since yesterday . . Great i thought as 10 times faster then my home broadband perhaps i could tether it but then remembered only have 3 gig allowance not sure what the point of having super fast internet if you cannot download much

I used to work in pedestrian safety (transport research laboratory). Crossing the road NEAR a pedestrian crossing is incredibly dangerous. Drivers are focused on the actual crossing so just don't notice idiots stepping out nearby.

Won't your sister have to put up with ATOS and "fit for work" assessments instead?

No. She can work (part time around child care requirements) and has multiple sclerosis which is fully diagnosed and medicated. Not like a back injury where there's some discussion about how much someone is disabled.

Been trying to buy Gradius V on the PS store for a ****ing hour and it keeps getting an error.

[briareos_kerensky]

No one sells a 6x1 or 6x2 component switch/matrix outside the US, and that comes with an incredible shipment price tag.

[Dogg Thang]

I have a cold. I think I got it from a Wii U update.

[speedlolita]

You'll have gotten over the cold by the time the Wii U has finished updating.
