First World Problems

Other people's remote control handling skills
I'm not talking about personal impatience or simply not being in control
I'm talking about others being too slow, lingering on the clearly worthless, stopping to check their phones, not adjusting volumes appropriately, etc

I was watching football, and want to watch more, but I was streaming it, so the remotes won't work. I have to get up and walk across the room to change it.

Is this the fucking stone age? sheesh.

Chromecast + phone?

If that's of concern to you, you might want to check out the laws - most of the laws regarding time clocks were pretty strict about stuff like that in the states I've dealt with.

It used to be at the entrance where we get our radios and assignments for the day.
It's now in the building behind that one, which still has to be traveled through due to fences and no vehicle accesses, on the fourth floor inside a locked room. No elevator. I have keys, but that's time I have to spend off the clock.
BTW, radios and assignments will not be in this new room.

Yeah that sounds hella illegal

One of my favorite local restaurants sold to new owners and the new owners fucked up so bad they were closed within 6 months. Sucks. Another one was just sold and I'm awaiting the re-opening, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I mean hell, why buy a successful business and then run it like shit? The hard part is over, the restaurant made it. .. Keep the status quo and reap the profits.

Food and drink is a tough business. The failure rate is ridiculously high. Although I think that's at least partially because a lot of people who just don't know any better get in to it thinking that their poorly thought out concept or business plan is going to be extremely profitable the day it opens, and aren't prepared to tough it it for a year or two as they get established. We've all had those drunk, late night conversations with our buddies that "we should totally open a bar, it would be awesome". The difference is, when we sober up most of us realize that it's a stupid idea. Many don't.

Definitely sucks when a good one goes under for shitty reasons, whether it's a change in ownership, a termination of a lease, or whatever else.

My fav (and where I was working in the EQ years) died off because they expanded to a second location in ~2006. All gone by 2008. Thanks, Obama.

Sensitivity of my R2 button isn't as sensitive now. I will probably need to replace the controller.

No Overwatch beta invites on any of my bnet accounts. Jimmies seriously rustled.

I'd play that fatty bluehair exclusively if it meant I got an invite.

Ten minutes later, "What did I get on my phone/computer for?"

My wife's pubic hair is just a shade longer than I prefer. What is this, 1970?

Can't decide which part of the villa's basement should be the wine cellar.

Can't enjoy a concert or soccer match without being attacked by sand people
