I mean for fucks sake my maid Alexa will ONLY vacuum the WHOLE house when asked to vacuum. She REFUSES to vacuum only a specific room. But my current peasant status does not allow me to hire a better trained maid.
Yes Alexa only vacuum the whole house. I have to open up the app and draw the area I want to specifically vacuum like a plebe!

She also ask me the PIN to start my car too. Alexa should just recognize my voice and just do it and stop asking me to remember the PIN to the Benz or the Tahoe. I can't be bother with that!

I have to drive 5 extra miles to another Starbucks because the one closest to me won’t take the time to wipe all their equipment down of dairy and gluten when I make my order, and I don’t have time to call corporate about it

I can't believe I still have to have a key on me in addition to a phone to operate the car.

Also can't believe that I still have to wait for a split second before pulling the door handle for the car to unlock itself.

And don't get me started on the fact that the rear view mirror doesn't save its position and automatically adjust between drivers.

Wife got a robot vacuum as a gift. Damn thing gets stuck on something almost a minute after it starts and we're not home. The robot would constantly send notifications to the app so my wife named her Karen because she's always nagging. Basically got a $300 present that doesn't clean for s***.

When I hand wash my car, the passive key keeps locking and unlocking the car when a stream of water touches the door handle. Very annoying!

Don't get me started about having to pull my mask down to remote start my car and those annoying seconds I have to wait for my Apple Watch to unlock the front door.

"Profiles" in streaming apps. You can't just go to the current channel or movies list or recordings. No, you have to select a profile first. Who has time for this s##t??

in Canadastan, it's called ACB (adjusted cost base) we would dream of having short term / long term capital gains tax

this is fast turning into the 4 Yorkshiremen script from Monty Python:

Out of room for a 3rd flat panel TV in the pain cave. Wifey has one in front of her Nordictrack ski machine, I have a sweet 4k panel in front of my trainer bike, but there isn't room for another one in front of my rower. I can see the one in front of my trainer bike, but it means having my head turned a bit while rowing, which is very bad form. Efficient rowing is all about perfecting form, so doing anything to counter that is a no-no. There's a bookcase in front of my rower I could move, but we have no more wall space anywhere to move the bookcase to.

I need a heated pole building where I can set up a proper gym. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. Build a pole barn so I can have a TV in front of my rower. That makes perfect sense, right?

Right?

My attached garage gets cold if I open the door like my dumb ass did this morning while I had the battery disconnected to reset the PCM. That was stupid.

When I try to exit a Youtube video on my phone and it shrinks down to the corner of my screen. Then I have to exit it AGAIN!

Sometimes I drive all the way to Whole Foods (15-20 minutes) with the top down in my M4 only to be dissatisfied with their offerings. I then have to drive all the way back with the top down and empty handed.

Next time, drive back with the top up so it will feel like a different experience!
