Your guess was not correct.

It was a guess that shows you haven't a clue what you're posting about.

It's like a Labrador posting about quantum physics on the basis that he knows how to run after a ball.

Great times,nothing to moan about here, got me pet poster.

Bloody useless Qantas again.
Despite prepaying an extra bag online I was asked to pay again at both departure and return airport checkins.
And I still can’t get the imbeciles to send me a tax invoice despite it being a legal obligation.
CEO Alan Joyce is paid 24 million dollars a year for being a disrespectful incompetent muppet.

As they don't give a fuck.
Don't care for the manner in which they conduct business, don't do business with 'em.

I don’t have a choice when clients buy the ticket.
Grrrrr.

[Dillinger]

clients buy the ticket

Have car will travel?

[docmartin]

Yeah right. Can’t be driving thousands of kays a week.

Why is it starting to take such a stupidly long time to purchase anything?

Was in BK yesterday, and popped into Robinson -50% sale on most things. Cool. Picked up a couple of work shirts, go to pay. Woman at the counter with her phone -cashier on the phone - seems some problem sorting out some extra electronic discount coupon or some such. After 10 minutes the assistant says we will go to another counter - one floor up. Yup you guessed it. Another woman having exactly the same problem. A further five minutes and we go to a third counter - blissfully free.

OK. Go back home, drop into the local 7/11 and spend 15 minutes in the queue because every fucker ahead of me was doing shit with their phones. One took nearly 5 minutes to buy a f*cking packet of biscuits. Each one also gets asked "member nah ka" and then types their fucking number in.

Put your desired purchase on the counter, have your wallet or purse in hand - pay and fuck off. Two mins max.

[Bettyboo]

^ The electronic stuff is very irritating. Buy a monitor, wanna make it quick, in and out, but no, the staff have to get out their tablet and log you into the company website which will send you endless emails and texts until the end of time... &, many folks have embraced this, so they have endless electronic coupons and memberships stored on their phone which makes every coffee, monitor, any bloody thing, bought take ages. I hate it.

They're getting discounts.

Seems to have taken Thailand by storm.

But bypassing some farang, sometimes including me.

Laptops only seem to go the way of the ghost when you actually really need them. It would appear mine on on the way out, although I suppose I should be grateful it started to cark it before uni rather than during it. This unseasonably hot weather has also proven to be a boon for the local housefly population, I'm not a fan of this!

[docmartin]

Musical cars.
I’ve got a Kia hire car this week and when entering or leaving the damn thing it plays a little tune.
WTF ?
It might be possible to disable it but the owner’s manual weighs about a kilo and I can’t be bothered.

[Dillinger]

^ if you'd have entered a lot less words than that into google....

. On the steering wheel top right access the setup page. Go into setup you will be able to find welcome sound in 1 of the items. Uncheck that and you are good as gold! All referring to the centre display between the dials not the infotainment screen.

What would possess a shipper to pack four salt/pepper dispensers with glass bases in a plastic courier bag? A single layer of bubble wrap around each one was clearly manifestly inadequate. Purchased via Shopee. Wife already getting the run-around. Little chance of compensation or replacement components in my estimation...300 baht blown. We are 0 for 2 on Shopee purchases now. 100% satisfaction on multiple Lazada purchases to date.

it’s a Cerato not a Stinger ....
Besides, the default setting should be NO bloody bells and whistles.
I’ve managed just fine without musical cars for the last forty years.

[cyrille]

Have you tried the solution dill helpfully suggested?

[docmartin]

I’ll try it later

There seems to be an increasing sound intrusion into our lives. I keep my phone on silent nowadays. If I have it on ring it co-activates a whole host of other sound option (such as a key pad tone). I had enough with pings, boops and buzzes that accompany all the shit my phone does. I know many of the options can be muted individually, but there seem to be some just completely linked to the ring tone setting.

I do miss a few calls -but worth it (plus an inordinate amount of calls seem to be cold call selling so definitely worth missing them).

Problem with default=0 is that it and similar optional features will never be used because nobody bothers to read a 1kg manual.

[docmartin]

Ha ha ha I’ve defeated the evil sound. It’s a ‘welcome’ sound btw.
Well fuck me - it’s as welcoming as a dumped gf.
Manual was useless but Dilly’s suggestion bore fruit.
Thank you good sir.
