Things you'd like to say, but can't

I really hope the person on the other end hung up and left them to it.

It would be an excellent learning experience.

One thing that they could learn is that if you get on a train at Leeds and discover 12 minutes away at Wakefield that you are heading to Plymouth instead of Blackpool, you should get off at Wakefield and go back rather than spending over 2 hours to Birmingham complaining about it, then having to buy more rail tickets and spending more than 2 hours going back!

That sounds suspiciously like taking responsibility for your own actions, which is not very popular.

~LOL, consequences are indeed a tough lesson

Dear Scott, I am interested in entering your competition to win a super duper Addict20, but there is one small problem... You require me to enter my date of birth, but I can't type it in. I have to click on buttons to scroll back to the right month/year. I am 70 years old so it would take me over 840 clicks to get to the right month - are you serious?!!!

 

[ColinJ]

Thinking about it... Many other would-be entrants will also give up in disgust, so maybe I will make those clicks and go for it after all!

PS Done! It took me 4 minutes of scroll button tapping and my finger now aches!

Could tech people please stop adding features to things, and sort printers out instead?
If I don't use my inkjet printer regularly, it insists that all the cartridges are empty.
They're really not.

When I was an IT tech my solution to that was to tell people to never buy an inkjet printer

Lasers are far better and failed many many times
Inkjets can be higher quality
and cost less at the start
but they are "temperamental" - especially if not used frequently

and the cheap ones are generally of the "slightest little problem - not worth fixing - chuck in the bin" type of design
