I’m in a mood. What should be banned (lighthearted)

What on earth is "coffee badging" dare I ask?

I've never heard of it

I need to know the

”And many many more” bit now, otherwise your comment should be banned as per thread title😂

@SabreIsMyFave

Yes, the nightmare of choosing a password that meets all of the many requirements!

I recently had to change my work password and each time I thought I'd got it, a message popped up telling me it was insufficiently complex, or contained an element I'd used before.

Eventually I got so cross I marched down to IT and told them to generate a password for me that met all of their millions of criteria. TBF they did it.

Bathroom doors without locks.
If this is you, guests absolutely hate visiting your house, just so you know.

@panpipeschill I think we'd get on - assuming you haven't banned 'having a good old rant'!

Kids using phones/tablets to watch cartoons/play games in restaurants without using headphones.

Women banging on about womens rights all the time.
Loud clapping.
Screaming kids.
Older mums banging on about being an older mum.
Men thinking there good in bed.
Gentle parenting.
SEN used to cover the fact that you or your child is a dick head.
Parents that have a baby and then cant wash a cup up or anything because they have a baby.
Men that wear suits for no reason.
Clutter.
Bin men that arrive at 7am and wake me with the noise.
Face tattoos.
Men that wear make-up.
And many many more.

Ah yeah.....I didn't think very broadly then, did I.
I used to work in a pub when smoking was still allowed. That was bad!

Online platforms that keep showing you the same thing as you've recently bought. If I've just bought pegs, kid's vests, a kitchen timer etc. I'm not going to want to see more of them am I, but yet they keep on appearing, and then as side adverts too

Cold calling.
Chuggers.
The phrase 'coffee badging'.
Pointless meetings that should be emails.
Cars with flat backs.
Roadworks on motorways.
Lorries in the middle lane.
Tik Tok
Itching.
PMT
Oversharing on social media.

I am peri menopausal I think.

I work in people’s own homes. The stench from one home literally makes me put them last on my list so I don’t have to sit in Smokey clothes all day and I can go home, shower and wash my hair

I have password manager. Just tried to sign in to JustPark using my appleID and faceID - 'there is a problem, try again later (1009).
The website obviously only has a bot.
This was me just trying to enter my new car reg, not even park anywhere!

Chewing gum. Everything about it is disgusting, including the people chewing it.

I hate this too! I'm quite sensitive to the smell of smoke and it often makes me feel nauseous when someone walks past me with the strong "just smoked" smell. At least try and mask it with some chewing gum or a spritz of perfume or something. Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in the 70's or whenever when smoking in offices workplaces was still very socially acceptable. If you have several colleagues coming back in at the same time with that smokey fog around then, I literally find it stomach-churning 🤢

I just have a 'password wallet.' I think it comes with Windows 11.

The boots app - I hardly shop there nowadays as I think their stores have gone downhill massively. I used to have a boots advantage card but it got damaged after so many years use and would no longer scan, then when I tried to replace it I got told it's all digital now. Except that whenever I try to sync the "digital" one they email me with my account on the app, it never works, so I only shop very rarely now via their website or in person if I happen to be in town, but I have no way that I know of of redeeming my receipts from in store shopping for points now. If it's not broken, don't try and "fix" it!

Also my superdrug points card - they no longer give plastic ones but these rubbish hard cardboard ones that are prone to damage from water, the details more easily getting rubbed off etc.

Password manager is a lifesaver. I use 1Pass (not an ad 😆).

Also:

At least one uppercase letter.

At least one symbol ... Like [ or % or $ or £ or ! etc etc etc.

At least 1 number.

Cannot be similar to a previous one you have had.

Cannot be one that is used too much by other people.

Cannot have any names in it - especially not your own.

And yeah, sometimes, it has to be a minimum of 14 characters.

And then as for trying to remember it afterwards!

Luckily, my passwords save for all my accounts on my laptop. But if I'm logging in from somewhere else (or on my phone,) I am screwed. 😬

🤯🤯

I had this a few days ago it needed a min of 14 characters!

I got a new car in Sept. I have not had the strength to try and enter the new reg in any of the Apps yet, it just makes me so angry.
I just want to put 50p in a machine, do my 20 mins of shopping and go.

Yikes. Where are you that smoking in the workplace is acceptable?

Parking apps. Why can there not be just one universal app? Instead of arriving at a station car park in nice time to get your train and finding you have to log on (there's no signal/wifi/indication of how to do so), search for the app, create a new password, verify your identity, type in your numberplate (you can now hear your train pulling up), fill in a form with your email address and every house you lived in since you were twelve, pay - and then go through the process of verification with your bank, by which time the train has either gone or you've decided to take the hit and just pay the parking fine.

Not using your Nectar app on your phone for a while so it logs you out, and having to fight with the sodding thing in store to try and login again.

Having to pay £5 for a curry to be delivered.
