The "Things that annoy me" thread

It's a tubed tire, but the holes are always at the outside so something had to come through the tire to poke that hole. :(
 
I've had it! I just reinstalled the old tires again after the sixth puncture only 15 km after the last one - they're worn, but at least they won't go flat anymore...
 
I've downloaded the "NextDoor" app on my phone a few days ago, and I have discovered that every one of my neighbors is an even bigger, whinier bitch than I ever could have imagined.

What brand were these? I bought some Continentals for a mountain bike a couple years ago and they were in bad shape after just a couple rides.
The old ones are Schwalbe Spicer, the new ones Schwalbe Citizens. As new tires I ordered Schwalbe Marathon GT 365. As I wrote, the Spicers held up for 4500 km, but the Citizens are shit.

Just do like I do. Yell at your neighbors chickens to quit eating the cat food you leave out for your cat. You know they hear you because their windows are always open.

I only bought one set of Schwalbe tires, they are ok, but again MTB tires.
 
:blowup:

God damn it!

To add insult to injury, today on my way to work the front hub dynamo decided it was a good idea to literally tear apart. There's a semi circle of torn metal around the hub so I had to buy a new front rim including brake disc. The local shop had just one black 28" rim with hub dynamo and fixture for a brake disc, and the old disc has a different mounting fixture...
 
it's a sign you should get a new bicycle!
 
Nah, the rest of the bike is fine, it's just two years old so the frame, shifting gear etc. are still good. It just need some TLC. ;)

I tried that app once and removed it after trying to suggest to someone that should go to the German car specialist that is close by to have their Mercedes M-Class transmission rebuilt and basically shat on by other people saying to use their friends shop who doesn’t rip people off. They made a poor choice buying an early used M-Class so, what am I to expect?

In Powerpoint, if you want to change the slide size, you go to the "Design" tap, and then click the dropdown button for "Slide Size."

It only gives you two seize options: 4:3 and 16:9, and then "other sizes..."

95% of what I do is for print, and 95% of that is letter. It's annoying that I can't "pin" 8.5"x11" as one of the standard options. It takes 5 clicks to change the slide size every time I start a new file, unless I remember that I have a blank 8.5x11-sized document saved as a sort of work-around.
 
In most cases, publisher is included in the office license. So have you tried that yet?
 
I haven't, but i have to be able to open existing PP files, and save them so that others can open and work on them with PP
 
Shopping carts left in parking spaces....
The number of lazy, self-important people in this world is simply amazing!
I was at Kroger yesterday. There was a lady with a handicap placard searching for a parking place.
Two lazy, middle-aged women walked out of the store and got into cars parked side-by-side in handicap spots - neither of which had any sort of handicap markings.
Grrrrrrr......
 
a 6-god-damn-hour delivery "window" (10am to 4pm), and then they are a no show, screwing up my whole mid-day Saturday.
