All of the EU, too. US also has similar regs. It's a fair chunk of the world's population.

WCMO currently it’s just about everything to do with OR Tambo airport at JNB.

* there is terminal A and terminal B. You check in at terminal A and then the A gates are at terminal B.

* there’s only ever one or two immigration booths open for either entry or exit and the lines are long except for last night when there was no one else about

* the immigration agents entry or exit invariably have something better to do - most commonly chatting to someone at the back of their booth. And then was the one guy talking on his phone the whole time.

* constant stream of people weaving their way up the immigration queue saying their flight is about to depart. Just kept coming and coming.

* security! You can’t get anything out and organised until you are right at the machine itself. Security people are also busy chatting away to someone else, either between themselves or some random who just walked up to them. They have a good chat and the conveyor stops.

* The ‘diner’ airside# , again everyone’s having good chat and they don’t seem to be able to get around to making anything I order. Just a reminded them about a coffee for the second time. # BA lounge doesn’t open for a couple of hours.

* gave up having a coffee and declined to give the requested tip at checkout

* no one in the hotel could break a 100 Rand - about A$8 - note so I could give a tip for housekeeping.

* The guy at the entry to the terminal asking me if I wanted a taxi as I had on my hand on the door to open it to go in

This rant was brought to you by the fact that the BA lounge doesn’t open for a couple of hours

Shouldn't be in this thread but Good Guys have given mum and dad full credit for their almost 2 year old TV.

Looks like 43" LG and take 5 year Gold Service Extras.

I was just replying to a post and I typed out casually and it auto-corrected to coughlly.

I must have got more than 1 letter wrong?

WCMO is leaving my glasses on the hotel bedside table and needing to use my phone to read the restaurant menu

WCMO off is restaurants that are so gloomy you need the torch on your phone to read the menu.

I must have mistyped the so many times as tge in the past, autocorrect has given up and no longer tries to correct my spelling of that word

WCMO is the damn 18 month waiting period between AMEX cards!

+1. Had to do that recently and it was such a pain !

WCMO is businesses that don't keep their websites and business listings on Google up to date. Was looking for somewhere different for brunch today, read reviews picked a cafe whose website and google listing says open Sundays 8-2, brave the heat to walk over to find out only open M-F.

Walk back to where I ate yesterday which was much much closer.

WCMO (women's edition)... Nail salons have lost the ability to do natural mani/pedi, all they can do now is fake nails and shellac. I treat my chicken better when I'm washing it before baking.

AND hair salons who can't deal with natural hair because they just do foils and GHD. I had a hairdresser tell me she HAD TO straighten my hair to see if she'd cut it straight.

WCMO is Samsung Find my phone.

They have now invoked 2FA - which is pretty useless when the authenticator method is solely based on having access to the device you are trying to locate.

"Well, Duh!"

Amd falls into the same category.

Not quite WCMO, but consider me cheesed off on behalf of someone else. Relative does FIFO from ADL, but comes from MEL, so has to book MEL-ADL-MEL privately. Books months ahead, and just had a half a dozen cancellations from QF, whose last flight out of ADL on that day of the week is now around 6pm, instead of previous 7pm. So had to accept cancellation, and outlay more (as not booked as far in advance) to fly VA at the same time as originally booked on QF. Also forked out for QP membership (discounted through employer) to grab something to eat and drink during layover, but now that's pretty useless.

Last week someone came into the office and was obviously sick. I told them to go home, I said we have proven we dont need to be here, spoke to his manager but he was allowed to remain in the office. I have had Glen20 on my desk before Covid so I sprayed him away and told him to keep his distance.

Hes now taken out half my team with covid, including a person who is 6mths pregnant.

WCMO Scammers!!!

Two transactions popped up this morning on my partners card for UBER Canada. Not us, not been there for 3 1/2 months. Now need to get another replacement card. Partner doesn't even have an UBER account.


Edit: now a third UBER Canada transaction disputed. Card frozen and all new transactions stopped. New one will take 7 business days.

Yes, people need to understand that making your whole office sick is not a badge of honour
