They should ahem take more care to not jingle them.

Google maps offering me routes that are 30+ minutes slower as I'm going along. Why yes, I'd love my drive to take even longer, said noone ever.

Yeah this is a funny one! It's great that it keeps checking alternates routes along the way and brilliant when it can suggest a change that saves you time, but why they still feel the need to show them in situations like this is bizarre!

Had one the other day where I was only about 10 minutes from my destination and it popped up an alternate that would have taken an extra 20 minutes... Uh no thanks!

I actually quite like that feature if I'm driving with a know-it-all in the passenger seat - "I normally go this way, it's much quicker"

Google disagrees.

Haha that is a fun bonus.

ALso I do sometimes like going another way to "prove google wrong" - it's 50:50 as to who is right usually!

Oh without doubt, the satisfaction of beating the sat nav by 2 or 3 minutes (usually by driving like a lunatic) is beyond measure

On a similar note, I've had it sometimes come up with a route as I'm passing that I notice says "6 minutes faster" but it didn't bring up the automatic route change suggestion so I end up going past it as it was too late to swap.

What gives Google, you little prick?!

Perhaps i'm just not very good at setting up things, but i bought a printer today, and getting it set up took well over an hour and seemed to require a phd to figure everything out.

I've got a PhD in a computing subject and I still can't get my strawberry floating printer to work over wireless!

It is a really gooseberry fool printer though so I'm taking solace in that fact.

People who make you wait forever for things and ask repeatedly to make themselves seem important.

Hey this thing will take 30 seconds to find and email to me.

Ask me in a month.

Electricity prices.

Strawberry-float, I'm a single guy living in a flat; I can't be using that much juice.

Plot twist: 90% of the charges are probably spent on accessing GRcade .

I used to know a bloke that bought an ex-showroom flat. He never changed the utilities into his own name and never received a bill. That went on for 10 years and he was never cut off. I haven’t seen him for a few years though so they might have caught up with him by now.

Free electric and gas. Just imagine.

Dang, that's awesome. I wonder if he's still there, free from the trauma of utility bills?

Do you pay for utilities in prison?
