"We have your parcel." doesn't actually mean that #Yodel have my parcel, they just say that sometimes, apparently. Is this garden-variety incompetence or just poor UX/UI?

I feel like I just don't get how #Vinted works anymore. Pretty much everything I'm seeing is used stuff, listed for at, or above, regular retail price (for new). Is it now just expected that you'll make a lower offer, so people are pre-empting this by listing at higher prices?

All the best for those getting their level 3 results today! I hope you crush it!

Why on Earth, in the age of technology of 2025, does Royal Mail give a 6 hour window for delivery?

6 hours? It's like they've just given up now?

I just had to complete 15 image captures to log into my PayPal account. Either PayPal is glitching or my brain is, but I'm telling you, there weren't any more fire hydrants!

I forget, are we all boycotting Twitter - or is this like The Great British Bake Off where everyone was outraged and vowed never to never watch it on Channel 4 and then tuned in as normal?

What am I missing about selling on Vinted? I list everything for a fair price, but offers come in for around 50%/60% of my price - is everyone else just listing for higher to allow for this behaviour? It’s tiring explaining to people why I won’t selling an almost new/unworn Fjallraven jacket for £40

Watching "Celebrity Hunted" on C4 - why doesn't anyone offer this as an experience (without having to be a contestant on the show). This would be a great way to spend ~5 days, testing your ability to evade detection from 'the police'!
Someone get on this, please.

When I have a poor experience with a company, I still like to type up what I would really like to say about them, but ultimately delete the post instead of sending.
It's this kind of silent passive-aggressive energy that I assume they still feel, like on a quantum level.

The fact that Google TV doesn't have a UI that allows you to restart a film is a frustrating element, I'm sat here rewinding to the start of films like it's 1990 and "be kind rewind" is a thing

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like with no hypothetical scenarios?

Wait, God has a podcast?

One day, I hope to know as much, about any subject, as the people who leave comments on social media.

I feel like I'm at the age where the heated seats in my car are more about soothing back pain than warming me up

I've been burnt before. I'm married to a lawyer. I'm going to tell you what I told Lucas; It's not happening again.

I'm on it.

Let's talk royalties.

Right? It would be like "Die who?"

Question: Is the film going to be true to the books, or am I setting myself up for disappointment?

The TV show "Shetland" can't be doing anything positive for tourism on the island. The murder rate on the archipelago must be amongst the highest in the world. If you go to Shetland, you're definitely getting murdered! 🤣

I want to remember what that great thing that I bought from Sainsbury's? Sorry, you're SOL because we don't show you that. Hope you kept the paper receipt...in 2024!
Data is equity. Why not share this with me?

Why on earth can I not see my purchase history (digital receipt) in Nectar and Clubcard? Lidl offers this in their app.
The purchase is tracked. The data is there. What possible benefit is there to gatekeeping this?

Welcome back 😉
