The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

[eny]

I ordered something yesterday and it didn't mention anywhere what I had ordered, just prices. When you have a few orders in process, it isn't easy to recall just which item the latest email is mentioning, just by price alone. The email system is basically useless now, so no more quick glances whilst in Outlook, I have to chase orders up individually via an app or the website. Time consuming and annoying. I cannot see how it is "insecure" to mention the item concerned, its preposterous!

I'm not sure whether it's a question of security or not but there's plenty of things that you can order from Amazon that are of a personal nature.

Ultimately, they want you to have the app and use it, I don't find this particularly annoying but I think that probably because I'm always in so no shits are given about having to be in or not or , generally, need things fast.

Back it up first and you can restore straight to your new one.

The junk that you accumulate over time.

I got the keys to a new flat about 8 days ago now and I'm still going through stuff in my old place. Thankfully it's a 100 metre walk from one flat to the other, and I had help moving all the big furniture bits yesterday.

But it has taken me a week of carrying boxes one at a time every evening. I have thrown so much stuff out too. I was in the old place for over five years and there was just so much dusty junk in storage.

Luckily my wife is pretty good at throwing out all our old junk.

And by 'our' I mean 'my', and by 'old junk' I mean 'treasured possessions'.

And by 'luckily' I mean 'inside my soul is crying'.

The lack of beds for tall people. May have said this before I apologise if so.

I'm 6" 5, most beds are 6" 3 not counting for the fact your not right over the headboard. I've somehow got myself a 6"9 single bed sourced locally but it's not what I'd call well built. Even when I'm ready to move and get myself a double bed the situation still isn't great there.

If anyone here does know of a place that offers a good one please let me know.

[Hatredsheart]

I feel your pain mate, I'm 6'4" and I've resigned myself to never being able to sleep lying straight in a bed. Even in hospital they had to remove the baseboard and my feet were hanging over the end. Not great

[Rusty]

Wow, we're all lanky bastards here. I'm 6'4" too I tend to sleep in the foetal position so bed size has never bothered me. i can't sleep on my back or front.

[Achtung Englander]

I'm 6" 5,

I am 5'' 5 - can you get that magazine from the top shelf for me please...no that...that one

[Raid]

I'm exactly six feet tall, and I hate having a bed where I can't let my feet hang off the end. I sleep on my front and feet hanging off the end means I don't have my ankles bent all night.

[Medicine Man]

What about toe nibbling night goblins?

I'm a Sagat Tiger Knee sleeper all the way baby. It's a very versatile way to get the job done.

I'm a boon to old ladies in supermarkets.
