The Daily Grumble Thread

[Guest]

What's annoyed you today?  What do you want to have a bit of a moan about?

 

Today I want to moan about the following:

 

Marks & Spencer: Your t-shirts are rubbish now.  I've bought the same basic black v-neck t-shirts for ages.  Over the years the fabric has become thinner and thinner and the fit is... random.  And the same for your joggers, which are also now rubbish.  And why do you put a giant wedge of cucumber on your otherwise most excellent wraps so I have to pick it out and even then it still tastes of the evil stuff?

 

Sloggi:  Your pants are expensive rubbish now.  Thinner fabric, and reduced seam allowance so the fabric comes away from the elastic after a few washes,

 

Adobe: You are greedy and your subscription model kicked me over to Affinity.

 

Affinity:  Why have I got roughly 308 different layers now?  Do you add them when I'm not looking?  Do you shuffle them about while I'm getting my lunch?

 

Until tomorrow then.

Well, I logged in and some negative Nancy started a grumble thread.

The numerous wazzocks on the tech support boards I spend a lot of my free time on, who post a query and either then immediately log out, or fail to respond to replies, and come back a week or so later with the same question.

Nothing.

 

Nothing has annoyed me today. From my granola with fresh raspberries this morning, to the lovely glass of red that I’m currently halfway through. Everything has been a pleasure.

 

My pants fit perfectly. Amazon delivered on time. A host of attentive assistants massaged my feet with honey.

 

And I’ve learned loads about the bogs in Lincolnshire.

 

Bring on tomorrow.

AND the brainless fools who run it tried to do away with the cheques being sent out by post until public opinion made them relent (just before I was about to take my money out in protest

AND I've not won a £25 (or any other amount) for years!

Probably been scared off by blokes telling them to JFGI or to reformat their hard drives to fix a sticky keyboard.  On a related note, the inevitable 'just turn off hardware acceleration' reply actually worked for me yesterday.  The new install of Affinity Photo was crashing within a few clicks until I unticked the tick box.  I was astounded.  Yes, I need a new graphics card.

You are admirably sanguine, inordinately fortunate, or recreationally medicated.  Possibly all three.  I have a small envy.  I've been oscillating between low-grade irritation and incandescent outrage since at least 2016.
