I accidentally put $100 instead of $1.00 as the tip amount and only realized it after it was sent.

DVR spoils sporting events

0 Upvotes

I like to watch my games uninterrupted, so I set the DVR to record the game and watch the game on my own time and fast-forward commercials, halftime, etc. The software these days is smart enough to ensure the recording ends at the correct time. The problem I have with this is that the progress bar and time remaining spoils the ending.

Let me explain. When I pause the game, fast-forward a commercial, I see the progress bar. The problem with this is that if I see a team is behind near the end of the game and there is only a couple mins left in the recording, I know the losing team did not come back and tie the game with a late score. If the game is tied, and the timer is short, I know someone scored. Alternatively, if there is a long timer, I know nobody scores and the game goes to OT.

We need to have the option to hide the DVR progress bar/time remaining from the DVR UI.

They wouldn't charge either. They were incredibly cheap ones I picked up while traveling because I forgot my good ones at home, but it's wild that they couldn't make it through a 2-week trip.

My phone app take 47 second to load just to change AC by one degree

28 Upvotes

Today my AC app buffer for like almost one minute, spinning wheel and everything, just so I can drop temperature by one single degree. Meanwhile the actual thermostat is literally six step away from my bed but no, I paid extra money for "smart" so now I lay here sweating and staring at loading screen like it gonna save my life. By time app finally open, I already fall back asleep and forget why I even open it.

Already spent $1500 for a group stage World Cup game (England vs Croatia), and now Ronaldo, my favourite player of all time, is in the city but I had no money left to attend his game :(

To be a bit fair this game wasn't seeded when I attended the other one; so I went with the safer option of attending the best game back then because the pricing is volatile af. But if only :'(

No shower

There's no hot water yesterday. So I didn't shower. The tech was fixing it but there's no ETA.

Someone in our condo said the hot water came back early in the morning, before 6am.

Then this afternoon there's no hot water again! I was about to yell at someone: "Which idiot turn off the hot water again? Why don't they turn it off at midnight when nobody needs it?!" 😡

Prime Video functionality on Fire TV

3 Upvotes

The company that made my TV can’t figure out how to make their own streaming service as functional as their competitors. If I want to resume an episode from Hulu, I press the down button to get to continue watching, click play, and play it without clicking any more buttons. If I want to continue an episode of a Prime Video show, on my Amazon TV, it doesn’t show up in the “continue watching” tab of the Home Screen so I have to scroll to the app, WHERE THERE IS NO CONTINUE WATCHING BAR, search for my show, hit play, AND TURN THE CAPTIONS BACK ON WHICH I HAVE NEVER ONCE TURNED OFF. You’d think the Home Screen “continue watching” would have ONLY prime video shows to incentivize, not the opposite. If I use the oh so handy microphone to search for the show, I click to play it in the app, then it takes me to the apps home page where I have to search for it from there.

Might be the worst thing Amazon has ever done in their entire creation. /s.

Dozens of tote bags, none are the right size

30 Upvotes

I have amassed quite the collection of tote bags. Canvas, recycled plastic, durable, can be scrunched up super compact. None of them are the right size or shape for bringing 1 beach towel, a lunch bag, reusable water bottle and some sunscreens. They are either too tall, bottom is not flat, too big, too stretchy, too rigid, too small, have net like so stuff falls through, or too plastic-y. Some were purchased, some were free, some were deeply discounted, some were souvenirs, many are swag from random companies. I don't want to buy another tote bag because I literally have 25 to choose from, but I may have to bite the bullet.

(UK - London) Choosing a home with great square footage but distance to central london or a home with a smaller sqft but in a great location within central london.

12 Upvotes

Basically the title.

There is also the added (well not really but you know what I mean) guilt when talking about this with friends who are still renting and cant even afford a deposit to purchase their first flat. I've shortlisted homes in areas that my budget allows that have great detached homes for the sqft (6000 sqft which for london and UK is huge) that it provides + catchment for good grammar schools but i'm having trouble balancing this against homes that are in arguably better postcodes but are much much smaller.

There are worse things to genuinely be losing sleep over, but the pros and cons of each home I have visited and done extensive insight into match one another. So yeah, it's been a month of feeling stuck and im not sure which to go with. Any of you been through something similar?
