Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

uneven air flow in the oven?

[Loz]

Fan oven, so shouldn't be that bad. Also, the position of the failures changes. I've taken to making twice as many so I can dump the runts. Last night, only one failed to impress, normally it is two or three.

Ah okay.

I have a jumper with a bit of material across the neck which I suppose looks like a tshirt underneath, but had never seen the mock shirt look.

[jctg]

The American phrase "shits and giggles".

[Loz]

Someone should invent the 'mock suit' - a suit with a shirt and tie sewn in to the jacket - for that moment you are in jeans/t-shirt but have to meet a client at short notice. Or take a Skype video call.

Here you go Loz...

Social media.

Although that's not really a 'Tiny Little Thing'.

I've just bought an expensive (to me) Epson printer.

At every f-ing opportunity it tells me to buy genuine Epson ink.

Epson - a) Bloody reduce your ink prices then. Massively.

b) The more you tell me to do this, the less likely I am to do it.

GRRRRRRR

Should have got one of those new cartridge-less printers, if you use it a lot...

[Sue]

Did a lot of research before I bought this one :))

ETA: Clearly the research did not extend so far as to find out whether every time I printed something out there would be "Buy Epson Ink" highlighted in yellow :))

Not sure it would have been enough to stop me buying the printer, however ..... very pleased with it otherwise and yes, I'm using compatible cartridges ("The printer has detected that you are not using Epson ink, blah blah". F*** off printer!!!)

[Loz]

Not enough research, Sue! Google is again your friend...

[StraferJack]

Oh the poor woman loz! I wouldn't be happy if I spent time researching only to overlook the one small detail that will annoy me forever

Sue was already stressing about having to buy the darn thing in the first place

You misunderstand :))

It's not when I replace cartridges. It's EVERY BLOODY TIME I PRINT ANYTHING :)) :)) :))

See screenshot attached ...... see the bright yellow strip on the right .....

And I would not have thought, before buying the printer, to have googled this kind of thing - it wasn't mentioned in any reviews :(

And NOW, possibly coincidentally and possibly not, following a Windows update, whenever I type anything eg into this forum box, or an email, all the "print" displayed is getting FAINTER AND FAINTER until I can scarcely see it ....

Another googling session looms. Meantime my kitchen currently has no floor and no ceiling and much of my house is full of dust which came up through the floorboards :))

Oh happy days :))

ETA: And yes, StraferJack, it's very sad isn't it ..... and after my Canon printer died, I bought another one off here very cheaply as an intended stopgap "in full working order" (I'm not in the least suggesting that description wasn't in good faith) and IT WOULDN'T PRINT :)) :)) :)) I think because it had been kicking around unused for ages .....

At which point I gritted my teeth, gave up on the Canon (having tried everything), and bought this one ....

[Loz]

Yep - that change should stop that as well, Sue.

Oh, OK!! Thanks!

Only thing is though, it will disable the ink level message as well, which is quite useful .....

But the good news (to me and touch wood) is that after giving it my undivided attention for half an hour and by a process of trial and error, I got my broadband working !!

[the-e-dealer]

you don't need the printer to tell you when ink is low it will be obvious when you print.

Yes of course you're right - and I try to make sure I've always got at least one spare cartridge of each colour - but by the time it's obvious when you print, if you don't have a spare cartridge, you're stuffed .....

[Loz]

I ignore low ink messages anyway. Changing when you are told would waste about 50% of a cartridge.

[the-e-dealer]

yes it really depends on your rate of consumption which is not taken into account.

I think doing that might have been one of the things which messed up my prevfous printer.

I let cartridges run right to the end regardless of "ink out" messages :(

[Loz]

Sue you got seven years out of that printer. It died of old age!

Also, most inkjet printers have the print heads embedded into the ink cartridge. The rest of the printer really wouldn't noticed you were spitting out fresh air.

[Salsaboy]

Happening to me as well. I thought it was my PC. Also seems to be happening on some websites, mainly BBC News. All the letters are getting pixeliy.

Anything ValentineszzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ.

[Salsaboy]

What RPC said. Boringgggggg.

[Otta]

Yep.

Valentines is meant to be about anonymous cards to your desired, and could be fun in your teens. Beyond that it's a nonsense.
