What Annoyed You Today? (11 Viewers)

[michael rauls]

Another day at the DVS trying to convince them that my wife is a real person. IN spite of bringing in virtually every identifying document she owns - birth certificate, SSI card, passport, mil dependent's card, insurance papers, home title, bank statements, etc. they told us that her name was wrong. It seems that when Minnesota spent, like, a gazillion dollars on a new database system the program that transferred the names of people from the old system corrupted her name. It's been SEVEN trips since the beginning of the year, and though they claim that they've fixed the problem, I won't believe it until she receives her new license.

One of the things that kills me about this is that when its for the governments benefit they have every maner of Byzantine requirement for you to prove who you are for example but when it's for your benefit many times nobody in government seems to do the most basic checks. For example I was reading an article on house title theft last week and apparently in most counties all the thief has to do is walk in to the county recorders office and fill out a few forms, submit some false transfer docs( easily cooked up on a computer in less than an hour) and there you go, the county recorders office doesn't bother to check anything. Now the thief can get a loan against the equity in your house and you'll spend years trying to prove to the banks that it wasn't you who took the loan and trying to undo the title switch.
This is why I put a credit freeze on file at all 3 of the reporting companies by the way, stops this kind of thing from happening.

Technology will make your lives easier.

Surely you jest Greg.

What annoyed me ?
Windows 10 - again !!
Got a notification (from MS) that an 'album' / slideshow had been created, from my own pictures folders. What the h*ll are MS doing, accessing people's folders ?!!!!
Had a quick look, and they were all pics from one of the museum visits. I deleted the 'album' and reported to MS, strongly, telling them to delete this irritating, annoying, intrusive programme.

Told you, to look at your privicy settings in win 10. It is the same when entering a site and accepting cookies.

Terry... it is not the MS message but OneDrive one that is responsible for the automatic creating of the albums... if you want you may either stop the notifications but still keep creating or just switch off the entire OneDrive service.

Thanks chaps. That Onedrive thing is a pain - had to get around it even to write and print a 'Word' document, which was finally done using Word 2007.
"Oh look, we've got some free space in this new programme. Let's add an annoying feature again ! "

7 days since my car was damaged, still has not been assessed for insurance purposes, cant have a courtesy car until it has been deemed repairable or cant start looking for a replacement until they tell me its written off !
getting to and from work is a nightmare with only one car between my wife and I.

There has been some snow today, 1st time this winter that is -a gain - way too warm. My office is on top of a hill, the street that leads to it is fairly steep with some serpentine curves through some forested area. Thus, when I drove home, streets were a tad slippery which made me go slow, about 35 kilomters / hour. Still, some *** had to overtake me, risking his life and that of those who came up the hill. Well, instead of his bold overtaking maneouvre we met again, side by side at the traffic light at the foot of the hill and I even got away earlier than him. What an utterly useless risk!

That is one of the reasons I got a new job. I travelled through a mountain pass in the Rockies for three years and almost got taken out twice by morons. I didn't want to wait for strike three

Ya, nothing like a 2000.00 dollar, delicate, heat sensative computer in a system where a 5.00 dollar switch would have worked just as well for example to make life better.

Obviosly, most mechanical switches (except fpr circuit breakers) can't pick just the perfect moment to 'flip you off'--like just before the enf of an 8-hour 3D render....

"For example I was reading an article on house title theft last week and apparently in most counties all the thief has to do is walk in to the county recorders office and fill out a few forms, submit some false transfer docs...."

Here locally some people moved into a woman's house while she was away and when she came back she told them to get out, or else. The cops came and arrested HER for making threats. Apparently they lacked the ability or the initiative to call the County and find out who owned the house.

"I travelled through a mountain pass in the Rockies for three years and almost got taken out twice by morons."

Probably the closest I've ever been to getting killed is when I was eastbound on I-40 to a flying lesson late one afternoon. They had routed both directions of I-40 onto the Westbound lanes so they could repave the Eastbound lanes . With a solid line of cars on my Left in the Westbound lane I looked up to see a big truck in what was supposed to be the Eastbound lane, headed West. My first thought was that he was going around a stalled car, but then he started blowing his horn. I pumped my brakes to warn the cars that were tailgating me and just managed to get over on the shoulder as he went past. The car behind me made it onto the shoulder but the one behind her only had time to do a 90 degree Right turn onto the median.

I have no idea what was wrong with that guy in the truck, He was a white guy with an afro haircut and was not stopping, no matter what. We are not talking a mere moron; we are talking utter insanity.

About 12 years later I was heading beck to the East coast, came to that same stretch of road and they were repaving it the same way, again!

The last straw for me going through the pass came one morning after a snowstorm. There were five of us travelling briefly in a convoy because the lead driver, in a Jeep Cherokee, refused to go faster than 50km/h. We came to a corner and saw the remain of a head-on collision that had happened earlier that morning. According to the news, one of them had tried to pass on the corner. After we had cleared the scene, the driver behind the Jeep, obviously agitated by the lack of speed, passed the Jeep.....on a corner. The other two passed the Jeep shortly after....both on corners. Once we cleared the bendy part of the pass a few minutes later I passed the Jeep on a long straight stretch. My first thought about the other drivers was. "didn't you idiots just see what happened to the two cars back there? My second was to the idiot in the Jeep....if you are uncomfortable driving the speed limit given the road conditions and you have cars stacked up behind you....pull over and let the others go. I see it all the time during winter, 5-8 vehicles stuck behind the slow one and then someone decides to pass the lot in one go. Its usually followed by lots of brake lights when an oncoming car shows up

On a rare visit, I decided to have a look at my profile and I see some annoying little scrote has awarded me a Dislike for a comment I put on a thread.

Why is he annoying ?...Hamish Gordon has a brilliant profile with zero messages and zero points . Probably a half brother to RoadKing (the originator of a totally awesome thread ) .
If I'd received a dislike form a member who actually takes part in this site, I wouldn't have minded soo much.

Henceforth he is known to me as 'Richard Cranium !

Well giving the guy the benefit of the doubt it could have been accidental. I did that once to Dave I think. Funny thing is I really liked the post and I saw someone had rated it dumb or something , so I clicked on the tab to see what idiot had done such a thing and much to my suprise it was me. I must have just touched that rating tab by mistake.......I promptly went back and changed it upon my discovery of course.

Ah--such drivers make for such colorful road trips--flame yellow, blood red, witness green....

This girl in my orchestra class plays REALLY loud- and it's the same thing over and over. In class we are doing a program called EDC, so most people who are practicing are elsewhere. I was trying to read and I couldn't concentrate haha. at least she was trying to get better but it felt like 55 minutes of torture.
