Thumbbass 324 Posted July 4, 2023 Pointless 'smart' stuff. I love a bit of tech like most blokes but I've just been served an ad for a smart fan and it's grinding my gears. What is the point in adding connectivity to a device that, unless you are sat/stood near, is pointless anyway. What's the point in boiling a kettle remotely? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,854 Posted July 5, 2023 Evri, a company I had been warned about. "We're sorry we missed your delivery. There wasn't a safe place to leave it." Erm, it was being delivered to my work, which is about 20 acres of land, a small office at the front of the site and about 20 or so people working there. Methinks they couldn't be arsed.

I'm proud and not proud equally of the way it played out... In Norwich coming down an escalator with a mother and small child on it in front of me. Small child was sitting down and then standing up on the escalator as it was moving towards it's final conclusion. I said to little brat something along the lines of 'you don't want to be sitting down on that when it reaches the bottom...' me visualising ripped trousers and flesh on the sharp teeth as it reaches the bottom. Small child saw this as a challenge and resolutely, his arms may have been crossed, sat down with no intention of moving. mother not remotely interested. Anyway as the escalator made it's final approach to discharge it's passengers, rightly or wrongly I grabbed said child by the hand and lifted him up out of the way of what in my head could have been a catastrophic incident... Of course these things never go as planned. Child flops back surprised at being manhandled by a total stranger and bangs back of head on escalator step. Cue lots of tears and many apologies from me. Mother sort of got what I was trying to do. No real damage done and hurried on my way. At least I like to think I averted a Jaws type incident where the severed leg slowly floats to the bottom. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, did you know it is also the name for the flap at the back of the neck on a sailor’s shirt? You’re welcome.

When I asked him if it was polite to wish people things they don't want he said he was OK with that. Then this cretin went full imbecile when I wished him a liberating miscarriage in response.
