Things that piss you off that shouldn't

Ice cream van drivers are words removed, and their chimes ought to be banned.

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?

1. It's spelled L-O-S-E. It's pronounced 'looz'. It means 'be defeated'. 

2. It's spelled L-O-O-S-E. It's pronounced 'looss'. It means 'slack'.

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!

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?

You're thinking of the verb loosen. As in, loosen your tie.

"Sorry we missed you. We've drop kicked your parcel into your neighbour's tree. Thanks for using Yodel"

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.

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

After my troubled experiences with Yodel, any chance your ‘fragile and expensive’ item they are handling for you is akin to Novichok? 🤞
