I hate it when they change product packaging and give you less for the same $$.
Thomas' English Muffins. The King Size are what the regular ones used to be and the regular ones are little two-bite wee things. When you have a two slot toaster this creates overhead. I'm a busy man and don't have the time to f**k around with muffins.

It used to be that we would have the local newspaper delivered to our house. The newspaper only comes three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The weekday paper is $3.00 and the Sunday paper is $5.00. The paper is wafer thin even on Sunday. We decided to not receive it any longer. The newspaper company decided to send us “complimentary” issues for free. This went on for around three months and they finally gave up when we showed no signs of re-subscribing. Five dollars for a paper with no coupons or a classified section was too much for us.

The news paper in our city is still locally owned so I pay 4.00 a month for them to deliver the sunday paper. It is still a pretty good paper, not many coupons but I want to support a locally owned newspaper. The small towns just can't afford to stay in business anymore. Kind of sad.

Is there anything more insidious than a rolled up newspaper in a bag left in your driveway before or during a snow storm ? Can never see them and they are perfectly engineered to jack up a snow thrower in a not fun way.
We switched to reading papers in free apps. They never get stuck in the bushes either.

I hate it when Apple screws up something I use. I prefer to manage my media on a PC with iTunes and sync it to the phone. These recent updates have been turd in the punch bowl. All whacked, won't sync. The tech support solution is: draw in a deep breath and hold it and wait for them to fix it ......

I just got back from the grocery store and I couldn't help but notice some of the ice cream makers have quietly turned their "pints" into 14 oz sizes.

64 oz. half gallons of ice cream have been turned into 48oz. containers for some time now.

I got it working but you would think something like 'sync the podcasts I ask you to' wouldn't be such a big ask after how many generations of these p.o.s.
Went through several hours of listening while working on the decks, a lot of Dan Carlin. Remember when you could just stick a radio in the window? Somehow that doesn't work as well for me any more.

It's damned annoying to have someone say they will be somewhere at a certain time and then they are ridiculously late and have all sorts of lame excuses to laugh their way through. The people who were supposed to show up here yesterday between noon and 2 arrived at 4:30. We were home doing stuff so it's not the end of the world but it does display a lack of concern for anyone else's time. At least what needed doing got done

I can relate to that.

I have had contractors show up a week later than they said they would. I had already paid half so I couldn't turn them away, which is what I wanted to do. If I had had a cushion to wait for my refund I would have turned them away. When I am meeting someone at a coffee shop or what ever I give them 15 minutes and leave if they have not contacted me to let me know they are running late. I am too old and intolerant for people who have not respect for other's times. If something comes up, call. We all have a pocket computer on us that has a phone.

I was brought up to be early for any appointments I might have. My sister-in-law is a perpetually late individual who thinks nothing of making others wait for her. It’s gotten so bad that family members lie to her about arrival times in order to get to to show up on time. Her lame excuse for being late is that she must have her makeup applied no matter where she might go in the real world.
Someone should tell her that she isn’t exactly a beauty that needs to be made up.
