Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

Well.. That didn't go like I thought it would.

Tethering from my phone is like traveling back in time to dial-up days... Like trying to download from a BBS

People in front of me at Arby's who can't decide what they want. It's Arby's! Get a beef and cheddar like the rest of us and stop holding up the line!

I know your old folks walk slow, but that doesn't mean you have to walk slowly BESIDE them and block the traffic on the path both ways, especially since the path is walls on both sides. You can walk behind them you know. [emoji58]

Last week, I decided to see if I could get a male voice on my phone, for when Google talks back to you. So I found UK files & there was a male voice, which I selected - except it changed to female UK instead! After messing with it & trying all the UK voice file variants, I decided to just go back to US female, but it refuses to change back.

As if that's not annoying enough, the British chippie won't read my incoming texts back now. When I'm driving & I hear a text come in, I do what I've always done: wake my phone & ask her to read my incoming text. Now she says "there are no incoming texts".

What the deuce?!

I think maybe she is a little jealous.

Presumably the Rant Thread isn't going to be discussing United States politics, which probably belongs in P&CA, like Trump or whatever.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Nope. Not gonna happen. Not on my watch. Mr. Phandroid, keep that wall up!

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Okay. So the "Uppers" are Genuine Leather. The "Balance" as it now seems to be called are "Man Made Materials". WTF happened to "Rubber"? When did they stop making heels out of rubber??? The whole bottom of these shoes look like one big heely lump. No rubber? WTF?

It was a male voice: Barry Gibb.

LMAO

Frankie Valli was too busy being dead or something.

Kid found a male UK voice that sounded like it was burping for a Garmin, so it should be available somewhere. Don't you get any extra choices from third party?

With your help we'll keep this stayin' alive.

Just remember to turn your headlights on if you are going back to Massachusetts, I hear the lights are out.

 

[zuben el genub]

Might not be those lights.

Isn't this one for the Android Questions thread? Although I've got no idea what it's about.

 

[Bg260]

Just a new UI, nothing can be done. Hopefully it functions the same.
First time I've been blindsided by an update like that. Usually I'm more cautious.

If memory serves me correctly, he was promoted to general and was stationed somewhere else.

I'm just chomping at the bit, waiting for a spell correction.
And I believe that's Kernel Mustard you are thinking of. Or maybe Sanders
