[RVA]

People who continue to spell "too" as "to" even after their error has been pointed out.
Come on, it's only a three letter word and "two" of the letters are the same.

I hate that to

You understand you've opened a can of worms here.

I was adding to the list of DonP's known dislikes. I spend a lot of time correcting folks on that one!

If you use their there they're going to think you failed English.

I hate that to

I know you know but for the offenders ...
"I hate that too" is an improvement "I also hate that" is correct.

During my latest visit to your fair land I ordered apple pie for dessert. The waitress asked me if I would like it "with" a la mode.

I recently watched the Bee Gees on my cell phone. I would do it again, but my phone broke.

There's a reason your phone broke.

Don't be too hasty here. There is another side to that coin

My issue is that I'm in customer service. I'm pretty good at it.... yes, I brag. Been at it since early 80s. I've come to expect a certain level from others. I don't expect perfection. Mistakes happen. I do at least expect a little bit of effort on their part. There's just too much non-effort put into customer service these days.

That was very funny!

Re that QI youtube on bad service, years back my wife and I were at a catered function, when the sweets were served two different dishes were given out repeating at every second table. One guest commented they didn't like what was put in front of her, the waitress cold faced said "You are allowed to swap". Cracked us up no end!

I hate things that break/tear up/won't work correctly and are designed in such a way that they are difficult or impossible to repair.
I've made a career out of troubleshooting and repairing large electrical equipment up to and including to 500kv. Some were made as early as the 1940's to the present, so fixing things is part of who I am.
I understand that manufacturers need to cut cost in designs but now seem to build in a greater failure rate, shorter life span, and never consider accommodations for routine maintenance or repairs.
This applies to almost everything built these days...appliances, cars, electronics, etc.
Products these days are made to be disposable not reliable.
