Every afternoon I get interrupted by this noisy word removed driving around the surrounding streets playing the same 5 seconds of music. Would we accept any other business dicing around with a loudspeaker advertising their product? It's bollocks. I hope his van explodes. You mean you don't do this dance when you hear the music?

chrisp65 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Some of the time, I’m using an i-pad. But the pad has this weird version of spellcheck / predictive, where it changes words that were correct, to words that are, frankly, made up. The most recent being, when I try to write King Leopold It will correct it to King Leopoldo There, the first one I went back and changed, the second one I’ve left as apple think it should be. I’ve even googled to see if there is actually, a more famous Leopoldo, but there isn’t. But it does it with all manner of random words, I’ll write ‘weird’ and it will decide I meant ‘widet’ I mean, that’s not even a word to my knowledge!

Chindie Posted June 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2020 I bought something quite fragile and expensive the other day. I just got the email to confirm it's been shipped. Hi! Your order is with Yodel. Now, do I draft the email to customer services to save time later, or just order another and pay whatever it takes to ensure its delivered by someone competent? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 10, 2020 Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2020 Police officers that can't fight their own battles and have to get their sergeant to phone me up to complain about the condescending nature of my email. The Sgt won't be doing that again either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did actually ask her if she had nothing better to do than phone up people who replied to pointless addition requests with sarcasm I also pointed out the irony of phoning me to complain about being condescending and then speaking to me like she was my mother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my troubled experiences with Yodel, any chance your ‘fragile and expensive’ item they are handling for you is akin to Novichok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
