HOW DO YOU EVEN MANAGE TO SHARE MY DATA WITH 758 PARTNERS? GOOD GRIEF PEOPLE, HOW DESPERATE ARE YOU?

Every machine asks me for a tip.
Like really? This person that just handed me a can of Sprite from the counter needs a tip but the person at the grocery store next door doesn't?
Look, I want to pay workers a living wage.
Just make that the price and stop harassing me about tips for things that nobody ever tipped for ever until 5 years ago when y'all went nuts with your terminals.

I typed a thing in the #search box. I even put it in quotes.
I MEANT WHAT I SAID, AND I SAID WHAT I MEANT.
NO, I DID NOT REALLY MEAN whatever it is you thought I really meant. I don't want some alternative sleazy thing from a company I've never heard from on your shopping site, and I definitely wasn't searching for some obscure Windows product on your search site.
WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE?

And finally (for now), NO I DO NOT NEED AN EMAIL THAT STARTS WITH "REMINDER:". The fact you think I didn't open it means you're a creep, and I don't autoload external email elements because of creeps like you.
That's the fastest way to get me to unsubscribe from the few email lists I actually want to be on, you jerks.
That's it for now. Probably more tomorrow.
Ahhh, that felt good 🙂

Why is it that hotels have the crappiest plumbing?
Hot and cold hooked up backwards, drains that don't drain, etc.
One business trip put up in one of the nicer skyscraper hotels in a large city. Walked into my room, saw the largest bathroom I've seen, spotless except for the tub, where vital plumbing parts were just sitting there.
Who sees that and goes, "EH, THE NEXT GUEST PROBABLY WANTS HAIRY DRAIN COMPONENTS IN THEIR SPOTLESS TUB?"

"FAX this to the doctor's office."
FAX? FAX??? Oh yes. 350 million people's health system is based on a FAX.
My favorite is when somebody wants to FAX something to my employer.
"I haven't seen a working FAX machine at a company I've worked for since 2011."
And they look at me with the same confusion I look at them with.
But "FAX is secure." Hah. Probably goes over the Internet like everything else these days. (see T.38)
