[Rules p.1] Things that annoy you guys. 100 percent. Not gonna lie

Feel like I've probably moaned about this in here before but I'll give it another go anyway - the way Facebook does sharing of posts (or at least the way it seems that people do it) is genuinely insane. Rather than just sharing a post with someone in an "out of band" way people seem to just write a comment on the item listing the names of the people they want to share it with which results in loads of replies to a post just being pointless lists of names and no actual comment in reference to the original post.

Just makes the whole thing look like such a mess, makes reading genuine comments on a post much harder than it should be and discourages people from joining in with any real discussion!

It was only a matter of time! :lol:

I'm so glad I don't use Facebook, it just sounds like an endless rotation of absolute bollocks.

CHER IF U ARGRE X

I have most of those ‘tagging’ comments filtered out I think.

I don’t know why I seem to be becoming a Facebook defender. I think I just hate it less than all the other social networks. :lol:

Why are you even reading comments on Facebook posts

This is a problem entirely of your own creation

I very, very rarely go on Facebook at all, it just amazes me that the few times I do venture on to there it is still so strawberry floating terrible! :lol:

As we're talking about Facebook, I read this earlier. I knew Zuckerberg was a psychopathic twat, but never knew just how insane he is.

When you put in a Royal Mail tracking number and receive the message,

An update will only be provided when we attempt to deliver your item

That's not really strawberry floating tracking then is it?

you only get proper tracking if you pay extra though, otherwise it's just tracking that shows once the item has been delivered.

There's 3 services now, tracked 24 includes delivery confirmation, signed includes delivery confirmation with signature. Only special delivery include full tracking as that's basically next day courier. Only standard parcel force services include tracking.

the endless 'Michael Jordan is he the GOAT or not?' nonsense

Well is he or not? :s

not sure mate wat do u think?

He's no Peter Molyneux.

Self-service checkouts.

How have they still not figured this gooseberry fool out? Tesco used to have the best system by a mile (i.e. one that actually worked and wasn't hyper-sensitive) but they've recently changed the software and oh of course, it's a load of gooseberry fool now.

When you first come to use it you have two options: 'start' or 'use your own bags'. So I select the using my own bag option and put the bags in the bagging area. Then when you select the option to start scanning your items, UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA. For strawberry float sake, you literally just told me to put my bags in the bagging area, it shouldn't be unexpected at all. :fp:

So you pick the bags up to stop the whining voice (about the bags I've just put down which it told me to put down), and - while still holding your bags with one hand - you can now start scanning your items with your other hand. So you scan the first item and put both the bags and the item down, and it starts saying ASSISTANCE NEEDED, with a pop-up giving two more options: store login, or using own bag. So you select using own bag, and finally you can get on with scanning things. How many strawberry floating times do I have to tell you that I'm using my own bag? What's the point of having that as one of the options when you start using the machine, if on two separate occasions it forgets or ignores it?

Also annoying is when you have some fruit or veg to put through and you need to weigh it, so you have to tap the 'look up item' button. The annoying voice then says "look up your favourite item, or have a browse". What? I'm not doing either of those things. I just want to look up the item I'm currently putting through the checkout. I don't know what my 'favourite item' has got to do with anything, and why would I want to 'have a browse', when I'm clearly only looking for one specific item.

Do the people who design these things even test them out? Why Tesco have changed it when it worked before is baffling. :fp:

Don’t use the own bag option, just scan it and bag at the end, it’s not worth the few days it takes off your life span in stress each time you use them.

In before "well I've never had a problem using them, what are you doing that's so stupid?"

This.

I've had a bunch of times where I've had no issues whatsoever with them. But there's also been the ones that seem to have a problem with anything you do, despite doing nothing different to usual. Go figure.
