Boghead ranter Posted Monday at 13:20 Share Posted Monday at 13:20 (edited) My laptop : "oh, I can see that you've not only booted me up, you've also dug out your printer from the back of the cupboard and switched it on, so you must be wanting to do something both urgent and important. Therefore I am going to install Windows updates too, right now" Printer: "Hold my beer. I choose today to decide to alter my IP, meaning that Boghead will have to follow a tortuous 58-step process to get me working again." Me : Heading for Heads Gone.

I think I probably do that all the time albeit whilst reading out my order. I think I'm not alone in that. Not in the Chinese though, as my arms aren't long enough to reach the menu board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will fall pretty soon to about half that as I hit state retirement age. Which is fair enough when you think about it as I will gradually have less hair. Mind you, with the performance of Rangers over recent years, and Scotland making an @rse of it at the Euros, it's surprising that I've got any hair left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now watch for it happening. People read the menu, make their choice, close the menu then pick it up and look again when the waiter comes. Watch next time you're out. So annoying! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that a lot in Germany, because my German is nitz so gut. When I offered to meet them halfway and order in French or Polish, they looked at me as if I was mad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's fair enough when ordering in another language but I'm telling you, nearly everyone does it. Conduct the following experiment. Make your choice, close the menu then simply repeat it when the waiter comes, then watch everyone else. It's astonishing. Are there any waiters out there who get annoyed by having to stretch to look at what people are pointing at? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted Tuesday at 23:00 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:00 F**king Energizer button battery packaging! Three button cells in a blister pack… 1) Slide nail under edge to lift plastic top cover, and it pops off, happy as can be, with a thin remainder of paper/cardboard across the bottom. 2) Try to push cell out through paper…won’t budge. 3) Poke through paper to find the f**king battery is enclosed on both sides with plastic. 4) The inner/lower cover will not press out, regardless of all attempts. 5) Got the kitchen shears, and have to cut around about half the blister to be able to lever the inside cover open enough to get the battery out. 6) Repeat twice more…because each one is packaged individually. I mean, no one would ever buy a three pack instead of a one or two pack and want all three batteries at once! If I ever find the c**t responsible for that packaging decision, it’ll be first degree murder! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
