The totally off-topic thread

It’s the ‘do gooders’ who presume others might be outraged. Hence it’s confected.

Correct. The civil libertarians who think they have the answer for everything.

So QFF sent me an email offering 100 points for doing a 15 minute survey.At the 86% completed mark it would not let me progress despite several attempts.
I sent them an email thanking them for wasting my time.

Actually you failed the IQ test hidden in the survey.

Well that WOULD be the Q explanation.

That question requires you to click on the left hand side of the page, mid way down "red back arrow" to get to the other 4/5ths of the question.

I mean - why would anyone not realise that - Q cannot understand why that "ENHANCEMENT" was not appreciated!

I think I have a kindred spirit with a guy on a lower level of my building.

Just got into our elevator and there is a woman in there, we stop at another floor and pick up 2 other people.

The woman's phone suddenly starts broadcasting voices/a meeting, we all look at her.

Woman: Sorry, Im in a hangout with my boss.
Me: I have no idea what that means.
Woman: Its a group chat meeting.
Me: Oh. Well we'll awkwardly stand here listening while silently judging you.
Woman: *laughs*
Guy: Maybe she wants us to listen?
Woman: *giggles awkwardly but turns volume down and we are all silent for the rest of the trip down*

In fact I clicked on the left arrow many times.I got to the second question.Wouldn't accept my answer and clicking on the left arrow merely returned me to the first question.So good try but you failed in your attempt to have a go at me.

Some days are just not meant to be.

Went to get some food for wife for lunch. Yes I do these types of things. Given a buzzer. When I went back to collect food someone had stolen the bag from the counter. :shock: Then had to wait for for food to be prepared again.

Had to head back to office with food as I have a 2:30pm meeting. Wasted 1h 30m.

It involved a train and then 12 minute walk.

And he sat in the wrong spot. He could have ducked around the corner for a kitchener bun while he waited.

No attempt made.

Just reporting how to complete the survey created with 'enhancements by Q".

Slow cooker beef brisket was a winner for dinner tonight.

Continuing my cleanout. Today it was the 'I'll need this bit of Tech / cord / plug someday' drawer.

Remember these?

Palm Pilot. Very good until they upgraded it so that Peter Principle came into play. Must go check if MrP’s is still there and chuck it out.

Does it still work (bar a flat battery)?

I wonder if it would fetch some coin on eBay or via some collector.

I found a Sony Walkman last clean up.

We have been NBNed yesterday, so we no longer need our Brother Phone/Fax/Answer machine ! I think it will go straight in the garbage bin !
