[Drunken knight]

My father who is perfectly capable of texting, has texted me a million times has now decided everything and I mean everything has to be a phone call.

Ring, hello. Hey getting rid of my compressor, you want it? Sure. Ok hangs up.

20 minutes later. Ring, Hello, Tee time is 715? Yes. Ok see you then hangs up.

THen I get butt dial, butt dial, butt dial, butt dial....

This worst part in all this is he'll forget what we talked about when I tell him to text me so he has the information he goes oh yeah. Usually you need to get the older folk to adopt the new tech. He adopted the new tech and is now going backwards

My mother texts long paragraphs

Do not touch food on my plate.

When I'm driving around locally, I typically turn the sound off on my Google Maps directions; I know where I'm going, I just want to know how long it will take or whether to use an alternate route. But if I'm going to an unfamiliar location, I turn it on to make sure I don't miss anything.

The other thing I should add is that if I'm listening to music, CarPlay lowers the volume of the music and recites the directions over them. But if, as is more common, I'm listening to podcasts, it pauses the pod, gives the directions, rewinds it back 5-10 seconds, and then starts playing again.

What this all means is that every once in awhile I end up in a doom loop where it is pausing multiple times for directions in rapid succession ("Take this exit. Now get in the right lane. Now turn onto this road for a quarter mile. Now get on the interstate") and I end up listening to the same stretch of the podcast over and over again.

As far as I can tell, the auto-rewind is the default setting and there's no way to change it

I just bought a new car a few months ago, and it will display directions on the driver's console just above the guages. Game changer. Now I can just turn off the voice completely and not feel like I'm missing anything when I'm using GPS.

My dad has that. I've driven his car and I agree that it makes a big difference to avoid even that slight head turn toward the center of the console.

That said, I do really like CarPlay because most of the addresses are already in my phone -- especially if I'm traveling to an appointment and can just open up the Calendar app and tap on the address -- and I don't have to spend time fiddling with the various input dials to enter an address

you can also just say ... use waze for directions to Marie Smith's house. No need for typing or using fingers anymore old man.

Groups of people that walk 3 wide on sidewalks or congregate in the middle of aisles or doorways. I intentionally don't break stride and force them to move the hell out of the way

I was just in NYC. I grew up in downtown LA. I love holding my ground while walking.

I run my cart into the part of their cart blocking my side and mumble “sorry, didn’t see you.” And keep on going.

Have them bookmarked & switched to private; love reading them on her birthday. Miss her so much.

And if the store creates a pinch point by adding a display case in the aisle, that will be the sure place they will stop.

It never fails. This is also where the employees leave their carts full of boxes of stuff to put on the shelves.

My wife is a wonderful human. Way, way, way better than me. She cares about people and the planet and everything in between. She also works in the trash/recycling/food waste world. She is adamant about not wasting food. She will muscle down leftovers none of us would touch. I am also a fan of not wasting food...however

In our house, when one bag of tortilla chips gets down to crumbs and such, I open a new bag. Love me some nachos or chips and guac but really need the full chip, or at least a solid half chip to enjoy it. Well, ever single time she will dump all the old crumbled chips and other assorted bits and pour them into the new bag. Thinking that we will sometimes get some of those nasty little bits when we grab a handful and eventually we will achieve her admirable goal of not wasting a single piece (ear? morsel?) of corn.

Well, those nasty stale little bits do not get eaten. And if they sit in the bag with the other chips for a few days, they somehow ruin all the other ******* chips. So now we are left with 1/2 bag of inedible garbage chips

@the moops

Grind them down and use in place of bread crumbs for chicken or fish

I know this is the pet peeve thread and not the problem solving thread, but… Just throw the old bag away when you open the new one?

She should. Bread has no nutritional value for them, but they think they have eaten. They develope malnutrition.

When I'm driving around locally, I typically turn the sound off on my Google Maps directions; I know where I'm going, I just want to know how long it will take or whether to use an alternate route. But if I'm going to an unfamiliar location, I turn it on to make sure I don't miss anything.

The other thing I should add is that if I'm listening to music, CarPlay lowers the volume of the music and recites the directions over them. But if, as is more common, I'm listening to podcasts, it pauses the pod, gives the directions, rewinds it back 5-10 seconds, and then starts playing again.

What this all means is that every once in awhile I end up in a doom loop where it is pausing multiple times for directions in rapid succession ("Take this exit. Now get in the right lane. Now turn onto this road for a quarter mile. Now get on the interstate") and I end up listening to the same stretch of the podcast over and over again.

As far as I can tell, the auto-rewind is the default setting and there's no way to change it

I just bought a new car a few months ago, and it will display directions on the driver's console just above the guages. Game changer. Now I can just turn off the voice completely and not feel like I'm missing anything when I'm using GPS.

My dad has that. I've driven his car and I agree that it makes a big difference to avoid even that slight head turn toward the center of the console.

That said, I do really like CarPlay because most of the addresses are already in my phone -- especially if I'm traveling to an appointment and can just open up the Calendar app and tap on the address -- and I don't have to spend time fiddling with the various input dials to enter an address

you can also just say ... use waze for directions to Marie Smith's house. No need for typing or using fingers anymore old man.

Well first of all, I was referring to cars that have their own proprietary GPS systems. Whole point is that you can't use Waze/Google/Apple Maps with those.

Second, a lot of times I don't remember the exact name or address of the place I'm going. I accepted a calendar invite weeks ago and haven't looked at it since. So easiest thing is to open my calendar and tap on the location.

Third, Siri's responsiveness/accuracy -- or lack thereof -- could fill its own 210-page thread

Or scatter them on the lawn for birds

Wife yells at me when I toss out old bread for the birds

She should. Bread has no nutritional value for them, but they think they have eaten. They develope malnutrition.

Ducks love bread.

Of course they do! But it's horrible for them. I love ice cream and Cheetos but it's not good for me. We have to protect animals by not deliberately giving them things that are bad for them. It's our job.

Unless you don't care I guess.

I believe all ducks should be free to eat whatever they want.

Got any grapes?

Excessive thank you people.

Over and over it’s thank you to my thank you but the only thing that stops the thank you thread is someone saying you’re welcome. But nobody ever gets there.

JUST SAY YOU’RE WELCOME PEOPLE!!!

Oh, that Charlie Brown!

(I remember when he won the bowling trophy and they spelled his name “Braun.” “Oh, that Charlie Brown,” said Lucy. “Wins a trophy and they spell his name wrong. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” "Oh, that Charlie Brown!")

Still a great avatar and a fine person, our Snoopy.

I probably gave away too much information in the previous iteration of this posting. Regardless, I hope it makes people smile.

Hey Bike dorks..... You want me to share the road and respect your space? Don't go through red lights and make illegal left turns when I can make a legal right. And don't give me a look when I hit the brakes to avoid you. Next time I'll just run over your ***

And riding in the street well below speed limit. I feel like any vehicle in the road should be approaching the speed limit. If you can't, get off the road.
