Mine is technology Angry

First - have been trying to download a new game to PlayStation, first disk was fine. Second disk I keep getting a message when it’s 90% done ‘An error has occurred’. Thanks. Helpful.

Second - laptop is being a bastard and just not doing what I want it to. Which is RESTART for cryin out loud.

Third - MN won’t let me upload pictures for some reason so I had to do my edits, email them to myself then upload from my laptop. All because I’m so invested in a thread about floor plans Grin

Also my sons annoyed me earlier but they get a pass for now as they’ve been in bed a few hours Wink

Oh. So that’s why.

I do love it when windows wants to update and instead of just TELLING me that decides to make my laptop run super super slow till I hard reset it Hmm

Dog has just destroyed another brand new toy that looked really robust and that it might just survive longer than a couple of days.

Ds5 - has been down about 6 times tonight, he's hungry, thirst, can't sleep

My daughter's bedroom.

I wish she would keep it clean, tidy and take care of her things. I can't stand how she leaves stuff on the floor then covers it up with used towels, dirty clothes and rubbish. I closed the curtains in their earlier and had to clear a path to the window. She just stands on stuff and breaks it.

ElizabethTudor · 16/04/2021 01:46

My boss. She’s a absolute fucker. 🤬👊🏻

I’m so irritated I can’t even type properly

WilsonandNoodles · 16/04/2021 01:51

Had a C-section earlier today and I can't reach my buzzer but could really do with pain killers!

Tangledtresses · 16/04/2021 01:52

Our local politics Facebook group... we have local elections coming up and all the cunts who have been utter bellends throughout the past 4 years are all being sweet as you like ARGHHHH

Mummaofboys93 · 16/04/2021 01:54

The heat on the maternity ward! Not only am I sweaty, its so stuffy & warm its given me nose bleeds 😔

MummyInTheNecropolis · 16/04/2021 01:58

I have toothache and can’t sleep cos it’s so painful 😩

YouAreTheWordsIAmTheTune · 16/04/2021 02:09

@PandemicAtTheDisco exactly like my delightful daughter! I ended up screaming like a banshee at her today and I can now see the floor! Long may it last...

YouAreTheWordsIAmTheTune · 16/04/2021 02:12

@MummyInTheNecropolis do you have any strong booze in the house? Soak a cotton wool ball in it and put it round the tooth. No painkillers on a weekend wild camping and this saved me!

YouAreTheWordsIAmTheTune · 16/04/2021 02:14

@WilsonandNoodles congrats on your baby! Are you in a ward? Can you ask someone else to press their buzzer? Hope you get pain relief soon!

namechangeaga1ne · 16/04/2021 02:41

Fucking. Admin. Pointless fucking send you round in circles admin. Wild goose chases. More admin. No organisations seem to know what the fuck they actually do when you finally get to speak to them.

@MummyInTheNecropolis

I have toothache and can’t sleep cos it’s so painful 😩
Try crushing up an aspirin, add a drop of water and dab it on.

A salt water rinse can help minor tooth aches - it can help with inflammation and disinfect so promote healing gums and oral wounds.

A hydrogen peroxide rinse is better (but don't swallow).

Cold compress - towel wrapped ice cube.

Peppermint teabag cooled slightly can numb pain slightly.

Crush garlic clove and add pinch of salt. Rub on area.

Vanilla extract in alcohol can be dabbed on if you've no drinking alcohol as in YouAreTheWordsIAmTheTune tip.

It's too warm to sleep. Doing my head in.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 16/04/2021 03:23

The fact that they still haven't come up with a better was to vaccinate children because my tiny little baby is in agony after the fucking rota virus vaccine. Poor wee soul.

LoveFall · 16/04/2021 03:36

Covid. Two variants, Kent and Brazil are messing up our life in BC. Please go away.

Seafog · 16/04/2021 03:40

Some oxygen thief is revving his motorcycle, repeatedly.

Seafog · 16/04/2021 03:42

@LoveFall I'm in Victoria, listing the revving bikes, the breeze in the branches, sirens, and bird songs

JackieTheFart · 16/04/2021 12:57

Ugh I feel for you all.

I was in fine spirits until I had to log into work, and now both work and personal laptops are playing silly buggers.

Husband is USELESS at setting stuff up and has forgets passwords so I have had to reset two this morning

It’s sunny but I don’t want to go outside. I want to stay in and the stuff I’m using to bloody work!

Next door playing a radio loud in the garden, all day for the past three days. Driving me nuts, I don't want to be forced to listen to Radio 1!

bonfireheart · 16/04/2021 13:46

When you repeatedly tell people something is important and they ignore you. And then they email you saying URGENT and expect six months work to be done in an hour.

JackieTheFart · 16/04/2021 15:00

Oh my fucking god.

I have just burst into frustrated angry tears because of this fucking PlayStation.

I’m reasonably tech-literate. I use consoles regularly. I know what to expect.

Set up 2 out of three sons as child accounts. Third one has for some reason got back automatic ban. No email received to say why.

Go to website - there is no contact us option. The best you can do it use the bot to reset password or send an email (which I only found buried in the TOS page). Every other link takes you to the support articles.

I’ve honestly spent nearly two hours trying to resolve this and have resorted to a long email, I know this is trivial but it’s pathetic! I tried to call them and the recorded message told me to use the non-existent options on the website.

I want to scream.
