NWR Silly Little Things That Annoy You

Has anyone ever - ever - had a satisfactory solution to a customer complaint resulting directly from a 'conversaation' with a chatbot? If this is the level of 'AI' currently, yet it is being deployed widely, god help us.
 
The cat. My daughters effing cat. He is psyching me out. He loves everyone in this house apart from me. I try to be so nice to the cat but he literally runs away terrified, moewing in distress - and everyone else in the house says "you must have done something terrible to him".

All I do is buy his effing cat food and feed him and he still hates me.

How long to cats live for?
By him nicer food, perhaps?
 
Being asked to review a purchase even if it was only purchased a day or two before, and sometimes not even arrived.

I bought some razor blades from Boots and within two days I was asked to review them. I couldn't even just give it the required stars and leave, I also had to leave a comment. Normally I would quit but this time I left a comment "just got them. Not used yet. I hope they're sharp".
The next day I got an email saying my comment had been moderated and they were sorry that they couldn't post it but I could rewrite it if I wanted to. And I wonder why I lose the will to live.

I once complained to Netflix about a programme that appeared on my 5 year olds (at the time) recommended tv programme. It was about people dying in wierd ways - one of which was a woman sufficating a man in her ample bussom. The other was getting his stomach ripped out my a nail. I had a nice chat with a lovely lady on the t'interweb.... and only realised several months later that I was talking to a computer.

My boy loved the programme by the way.

Attaboy!
 
The other thing that always makes me smile, when in a restaurant or somewhere similar and you read "please ask our friendly staff". How the f__k do you know which one's the friendly one?
Similarly, it always makes me smile when people talk about their lovely wife, or Geoffrey Archer's fragrant one.

But maybe this is the wrong thread for these comments.
 
When you’re trying to finish a movie on a plane and they insist on cutting off the programme to give multiple utterly pointless announcements in multiple languages. Seriously, just shut up already and let me finish my movie before we land!!!!

This is why ipads were invented! With the additional benefit that if you have Airpods or Airpods max, you get this directional effect which is just awesome.
 
"In and out of". Surely, it's "into and out of".
Hmmm... interesting... not necessarily.

"I fell in and out of love" = "I fell in love, and fell out of love". You don't fall into love.

"They were in and out of each others' houses" = "They were in each others' houses, and out of each others' houses".

"The car was in and out of tunnels all day" = "The car was variously in tunnels, and out of tunnels all day."

But "The car drove into and out of the tunnel" refers to the entering and leaving events, not the various locations of the car. In that meaning "in and out of" is not so good, but you might hear it.

(I've been spending too much time on language forums recently)
