Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
Okay, the fine was only £50 in the end, so it could be worse...
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

The Trainline's new "Tap that App" advert, popping up on YouTube almost every single time, which is a mass of mutated CGI fingers dancing to an awful beat and wriggling about like some kind of body-horror nightmare...I have watched it several times and I can't figure out what it's got to do with trains at all.
I thought it was AI generated, but there's an article about the making of it here:

This doesn't make me like it any more. Adverts like this make me think we've reached the twilight years of human creativity.

Microsoft repeatedly keeps ninja installing Microsoft 365 +1 and I keep removing them.
That's 12Gb of healthy space that could be used for something actually worthwhile on my drive. Stop it.

Finally ordered a new phone for the first time in five years...only to discover I could have ordered the newest model, which just came out yesterday, for the same price, but with way more data.
By the time I figured this out (just about an hour after I had gone through with the purchase), it was too late to cancel.

Its not, you have a mandatory returns period. Use it!

I thought about that. But I think I'm gonna just accept it.
What I ordered was the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro just came out, and I could get that for the same price. But it's not the Fold. The newest Fold won't come out until October, but I really need a new phone now as my current one is on its last legs. I'm quite taken with the Fold, you see.
