weirdcal Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Don't know how common this is so don't know if anyone can relate to it but it's happened to me a few times over the years and more frequently again recently as aux leads don't seem to stay tight for any length of time: For some reason the vehicle you're driving won't connect to your Bluetooth so you're driving along listening to tunes through your phone via an aux lead to your car stereo and go to change the tune but the slight movement in your phone means the super sensitive aux lead comes loose so you have re-insert the lead tightly and press play again but the fucking phone is locked so you have to try to enter your password while swerving all over the road trying to avoid pesky schoolkids then when you eventually open the phone and press play, the volume has gone back down on the phone so you go to put the volume back up but the phone is giving you a warning that listening at too high a volume causes your ears to fall off so you have to press OK that you understand the warning then go to put the volume back up then once you get all that sorted you put the phone back down to enjoy your music and as you gently place the phone back down the fucking aux lead comes loose again and you have to repeat the entire process. I'm sure these aux lead manufacturers must use the cheapest most degradable materials so you have to buy a new one every 15 minutes. c***s. No, as my Bluetooth connects. I can also start / change the track using my watch.Oh and biometrics on the phone means a finger tap and it opens the phone... No password required. The wonders of modern technology. Though if your aux lead is popping out, might want to check the jack for fluff. It should not be loose.Or look for a monster headset cable. Has the in line volume control and is of higher quality 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Went to the bank yesterday to get some money. The cashpoint was out of order so I went inside. As the teller handed me the notes she asked me, "What are you going to do with the money?" Actually that is untrue. I didn't get any cash and even if I did the teller would never have asked such a question as it's none of her business. So why do quiz show hosts always ask contestants what they're going to do with the money they've won (or might win)? I would love somebody to answer, "I'm going to buy a car. What are you going to do with your salary for presenting the show?" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also shops that have one person on tills at the busiest time of the day. I was stood behind a boy who came in with 10 scratch cards and hadn't even scratched the foil stuff off to see if he won. I was raging that the lassie never told him to scratch it off and come back if he had any winners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares what you're going to do with your £40 because it's likely boring and mundane. Winning circa £10K or more on a gameshow is obviously a substantial amount of money that your average person won't come into, so they may be more inclined to do something out of the ordinary with it. Have you never been asked what you'd do if you won the lottery? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People buy scratchcards and get the lassie behind the counter to scratch it for them. Could this aspect of customer service be extended? Me: Ah, good morning. I will have a packet of M&Ms and this here copy of Mojo, the monthly magazine for the ageing music snob. Could you oblige by reading out the career retrospective of Leonard Cohen, starting on page 23 please? I cant be bothered and I'm sure the people in the queue behind me wont mind.

I decided to wait the month cause I'm a fanny i did similar with a shoulder injury a while back, instead of going to a physio i'd used before, i took the cheaper option of the NHS, waited ages, then eventually i got gel rubbed on my shoulder and some gadget like an ultrasound ran over the area that was injured, must have wasted 4 or 5 months, booked back in with my old physio and they done more in their 50 minute 1hr session than the 10 weeks at my local medical centre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the folk on shows like Pointless who say “yes I’m going to treat the family to a holiday and maybe put the rest towards a car”. Not with £1k you’re not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
