Plus they don’t pull apart easily like they used to. As a result I never just have half, I just smash the whole thing up and scoff the lot.

You could also grow up.
Are you German now as well?
Ja genau.

I'm just not much of a confectionary eater so will judge you all on it.
People who don't indicate at roundabouts.
How can you forget the basics of your driving test that are so important to make people understand which way you intend to go?
Pure arrogance and ignorance.
Then they get angry with you when they're in the wrong. Finger up. Seething. Growling. So what I do now is I usually put my thumbs up to them and mouth 'Great driving'. No better way to win with eejits, as they don't know how to react to that
Only really applies to little roundabouts, which are just dreadful things all round [wahey!]. Expecting people to indicate right on a big roundabout until switching to left when they want to get off is a bit auto.
Agree with that.
Whatever about the rest, the ones that dont indicate when taking the first exit need to be beaten to death with their own children.
You should be indicating on the big ones too. And indicating when changing lanes on the motorway. People who don't fuck me off.
Are we talking just indicating for getting off [ok] or the full indicate at all stages job [as you are supposed to] on big roundabouts here? Also, is it really necessary when you have designated lanes for designated exits? Fair enough for motorway driving, but that's just a lost cause with everyone driving in the middle lane at 65mph.
My roundabout seethe is reserved for people who do the following:
Two lanes approaching the roundabout, one to turn left and the other to go straight on/right. The left lane (for first exit) has a queue and the right lane doesn't: death to vehicles that want to go left, but take the right lane and go all the way round the roundabout to jump the queue.
Always vans and 4x4s, obvs.
As for lane indicating, South America was a big eye opener for me. All cars are fitted with indicators but they simply don't use them and instead use the horn, as many times as they need to until a gap appears. It sort of works as its own chaotic highway code, albeit there are way more breaches of it.
Crap hand washing and drying facilities in public toilets.
If you have a separate hot tap, don't set the water temperature to hotter than the sun. If you don't have any hot water at all at least have a hand dryer that blows warm air. Dyson airblades and similar can foxtrot oscar as well, most advanced hand dryer but blows water up your sleeves? Good one.
And don't get me started on the all-in-one water/soap/dryer over the sinks. A trickle of water for a few seconds then soap suds and water getting blown about the place, it's fucking embarrasing.
Those all in ones are clearly a wind up by whoever makes/programs them.
How long should they wait for the soap to come out, sir?
Just long enough for them to think they have their hands in the wrong place and move them.

This forum is so fackin slow
If it was in any way busy that would matter.

Why arent all ports USB-C by now? If I want to charge my phone, my daughters iPad and my wifes Kindle, its three different wires.

Apple loves selling you proprietary cables at a premium cost.
The newest kindles are now USB-C and everything should be moving towards that now.
Apple might wait until late 2024 (the EU ruling is December 2024) because they're knobheads.
Might have to spill something on this one if Amazon ever bloody release a new Oasis.

My guess is by then theyll go to all wireless charging on new products, so they dont have to do USB-C.
They'll do whatever is most awkward for consumers.
It's about time we started moaning about the important shit in here. Well played Baz.
My work phone (Apple charger), work tablet (old school Samsung charger) and my Lone Worker Device (I don't even know what the fuck this charger is) are irritating beyond belief. Everything else we have is USB C, but if I need to charge my work gear I need 3 separate and different leads. Unacceptable.
I've got a Samsung S21 Ultra and it has somehow decided it doesn't like charging directly anymore, only wirelessly.
Has anyone's Virgin Media telly box suddenly gone shit with all the stuff you have recorded and won't play half the catch-up things? I would ring them but it's all Indians on their helplines and I would rather just not watch anything.
Yeah mine keeps pretending the internet isnt working.
My S10plus is the same. I've had to charge wirelessly only for about a year.
USB ports arent nearly as durable as lightning ports.
I've never broken a USB port.
Two people above have.
I find the various USB connectors fail far less frequently than lighting charging cables seem to become 'incompatible' with various Apple devices.
Ive never had a problem with a genuine Lightning connector, its only the Chinese knock-offs that seem to fail. That being said, USB-C all round would be brilliant.
USB-C is clearly king.
Never had any fail. The old micro usbs though were absolutely bullshit

People sending work conversations via Teams as a load of separate messages. I've been bombarded by 27 quickfire messages from someone that could have easily been condensed into a couple of paragraphs in a single message.
Also: Teams.
This is probably why igor got fired.
Thing is
Some people
Just think in bursts
Not like a bomb
But, like, machine gun fire
So you sit there
Letting the notification noises hit you
Like bullets
Until you bleed out
And in your dying gasp
You just say
Sure thing
And a thumbs up
Some epitaph
People asking work related stuff on Teams chat can get lost. Send an email so we’ve a trail or whatever. Chat is for chatting about life and amusing observations during meetings.

The Teams app is a life saver for WFH when you nip out to do something.
If you are not a private company you may want to move that to a non-official channel as those chats can be subject to FOI.
They automatically delete after 30 days anyway.
That might be a custom setting, ours are searchable well beyond 30 days and weirdos have been FOI-ing everything so we don't informal chat on company hardware/software anymore.
Teams has a powerful search utility so it seems foolish to not actively direct stuff work into there given the improved group collaboration. Email is archaic and soon to be dead.
People who ask questions on QT that can't speak. Public speaking isn't for everyone. Recognise your inability to do so and fuck off.
