I don't know your file structure or the path to your Pictures folder, but it's not rocket surgery.

I'll see if I can get a shot on my PC for you.

And now my turn.

ABCD keyboards, like on Dymo label machines etc.

I can type 32wpm on a Mac or a PC, but it takes me three times linger on on of these!

I like this. Rather than saying, “It’s not rocket science” or “It’s not brain surgery,” you’ve covered all the bases in one, efficient statement...

Politicians telling us we must wear masks and anti-social distance in our daily lives under penalty of law, but rhen encourage close contact protests and looking the other way when it turns to looting.

I'm not sure, but I'm half positive that it's a Yogi Berra quote 😉.

For those that don't know, Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra was one of the "great Americans" of the last century (IMO).

The older I get, the more cranky I get. Seems like a lot of little things drive me crazy.

Small date windows on my watch. I can't see them. I wonder why the heck did they make that date window so small.

Apple’s ‘Magic mouse’ that has its charging socket on the bottom.

So you can’t actually use it while it’s plugged in, charging... 🤦

Would it really hurt to have the socket on the end?

Sorry, trying to post on a telephone and a computer at the same time.
My inter device coordination skills are obviously slacking.

How about for every flat as few sheets of paper parcel you bring to the US post office, they ask if you have anything “hazardous, fragile, liquid or perishable” inside.

First off, I don’t think many liquid things can be contained within the thickness of a sheet of paper. But mostly, if this was enacted after nefarious people were sending things through the mail, can they really be trusted NOT to do that just because you asked them if they did?

The attitude of any government functionary no matter how low rung.
A tech trying to examine my X-ray and arguing that he can't possibly have the image reversed as if I somehow wouldn't know which side of my own skull has the surgical pins clearly visible on the x-ray.
An Atheist pretending that they know more about the history of Religions than everyone else, then quoting fictional characters from Dan Brown novels to support some bull pookey claim.

Trying to put your signature on the touch screen when you receive a package (especially using the horrible devices at the post office). It ends up looking like something from an Etch-a-Sketch. What's the point?

By only hiring people who are actually suited to the office, rather they paying off political favors and nepotism by employing the culls who couldn't hold a job at a convenience store.

You are so right about Larry David! Genius! What aggravates me is the F1 commentators who constantly talk and don’t let us listen to the engines. Even if the engines sound like crap now...

This drives me nuts. I find myself watching a lot of sports with the sound off, for a few reasons- Firstly the skill in commentators weaving a story into the action unfolding has almost vanished. I think the only place it may survive is snooker and possibly cricket. Commentators are too busy fact dumping or saying what had literally just happened in front of our very eyes (NB see Alan Partridge as sports commentator on the Day Today..." SHIT DID YOU SEE THAT???").
Secondly, and this is pretty true in F1, due to the fact dumping etc they usually miss a chunk of action, drivers dropping down the ranks or completely vanishing .
