I can live with my Seiko King Turtle being 20+ seconds a day out, I mean IDAGAF about the accuracy of a mechanical watch. BUT... how come every time it gets knocked or dropped it becomes LESS, not MORE accurate? Statistically, shouldn't some hits knock it back to being a bit better?

The use of 'today' attached to any and all phrases from service people.

'Is that all for today' when you are at the shops

'Is there anything else I can assist you with today' when someone has helped you with a query.

Like, what? Is there any other day that would be relevant??

Capitalism: a cult that promised to do good for the worst reasons.

People messaging you and you reply instantly but then they blank you.

WTF??

That sucks. Or they went to bed. Or drowned by the sea.
A colleague texts me asking if I have a spare computer monitor he could borrow. I was on my phone when the text came through and replied straight away that I have a spare with an old-style connector or could unplug a network computer monitor that is HDMI if he needs that. No reply all day. I text him as I'm leaving work (last chance for me to grab a monitor)...still no reply. WTF

That is frustrating. Especially since you were trying to help him out!
