Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

TBH I think the "letby might be innocent, here's what I found on facebook" really pretty disgraceful stuff.
I mean, free country, say what you want, but any editor who puts that stuff on for clicks should get pilloried for it.

There are studies that show how terrible people are at assessing probability. Tends to be things like assessing risk in relation to their kids, things like that, but Stephanie Pigmybrain has widened that out somewhat.

Why are The Telegraph writing an article based on the ill-informed opinions of random readers anyway? I guess they are still taking the 2016 line of 'we've had enough of experts'. It's the sort of shite that used to be the domain of tabloids.

Because they are broke.

Memes, especially over-used memes like that Anakin one or the distracted boyfriend

I don't know either of those. I've only just found out there are Simpsons memes.

Along with emojis and emoticons, I rarely understand them.

Forum won’t let me upload but someone smashed up my car properly while it was parked. Rear bumper off, rear wheel smashed up, puncture etc

Ouch. Did they leave details?

That’s not trivial.

Drunk driver? See tons of this (smashed up cars after being parked on the road) on the roads around me.

Get some high res photos and look for paint on both cars. For insurance purposes it's balance of probabilities, so if the scratches match and there is paint transfer one or both ways, you have a good shot. If the cock who did it doesn't report, they will immediately be on the back foot.
I have to say, your car ownership is as cursed as my landscape enjoyment.

I have picked up dog poo from my garden 9 times in 7 months. Our cat is potentially going to die because it was chased, in our garden, by a neighbours dog, injured itself and now has a severe infection.
We are playing nice because the neighbours responsible have been jolly apologetic, except for the serial shitter.
Step one, collect and return poo to owner. Step 2 use wildlife camera. Step 3, call council if they still don't close their fucking gate. It's a private road but a public footpath.... And of course my garden is my garden.

No neighbours with ring doorbells? I guess you'd need to have an idea what time it was though.
Our local Facebook group sometimes has people looking for doorbell footage and often they get a useful response.

Should be reasonably obvious if the car behind doesn't have damage indicating it was pushed onto yours? Hope it gets sorted for you.

Insurance won’t accept it’s their fault because of no witnesses so have to go through the police - so we can expect nothing to happen because there are no witnesses.
it’s on a stretch with no houses so no luck

That's where whichever God you chose can be a bit lacking. He saw that happen, witness! Talking of God's a Tesla would have witnessed it.

Far more trivial. Sky sports (with Virgin) is not working on my laptop. Tried two browsers.

On this theme. On the last 2 days when I’ve put the tour on with the discovery app on the tv, the commentary is in Spanish. Yet when I watch it on my iPad it’s in English.

Are you sure it wasn't Hatch commentating and overdoing the pronunciations?
1 -
Unfortunately not as it’s still the same. I did try watch the tv with the commentary from my iPad but the iPad is about 30 seconds behind the tv.

I love how concerned everyone is for my cat, in comparison to Rick's bumper.
For the no one who was wondering, she has acute pancreatitis brought on by a traumatic event - nearly being caught by a dog, and spending 2 hours with a foot injury up a tree because she was petrified.
She will probably be fine, thanks for asking.

I had the same last week, haven't tried again since.
Fine on the phone.

Yes, works on my phone. Couldn't find anywhere to report the bug.

Put it this way: if it did that to livestock it would quite likely get shot. I think that's a valid benchmark to set with the neighbour. Have they wheeled out the stock excuses of just being friendly/won't hurt anything?
The turds are way out of order. Mind you, if they let it roam it might well go missing and be picked up by the local RSPCA. What level of relationship do you want to maintain with the neighbour.

They were profusely apologetic, but they don't know how bad it has become. The owner did say that she though her dog would never hurt a cat, because it is "soft mouthed". I'm glad I wasn't there when she said thst or I'd have exploded I think.
Dog owners are incredibly myopic sometimes.
Yet to have words with the neighbours of the poo monster. Hopefully the passive aggressive hanging of a bag of fresh poo on their (open) gate is enough of a hint.
I doubt it.

They say the same when they bite humans. If there's a way to get the authorities on their arse, go for it.

It's rural RC, and we need to live here and get on with people. I have made the mistake of being 100% in the right but not seeing it from both sides and respecting that the person without a leg to stand on has been here longer, in the past.
Next step, if they don't get the passive aggressive hint, is to have a polite word. If that results in push back, we then speak with other neighbours who might possibly not want to walk through or drive through dog shit on a group mail, without mentioning them. If that doesn't work, it gets reported.
In the meantime, the wildlife camera we use to watch the badger family at night is getting left on day.
