Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

I know your old folks walk slow, but that doesn't mean you have to walk slowly BESIDE them and block the traffic on the path both ways, especially since the path is walls on both sides. You can walk behind them you know. [emoji58]
 
Last week, I decided to see if I could get a male voice on my phone, for when Google talks back to you. So I found UK files & there was a male voice, which I selected - except it changed to female UK instead! After messing with it & trying all the UK voice file variants, I decided to just go back to US female, but it refuses to change back.

As if that's not annoying enough, the British chippie won't read my incoming texts back now. When I'm driving & I hear a text come in, I do what I've always done: wake my phone & ask her to read my incoming text. Now she says "there are no incoming texts".

What the deuce?!

Okay. So the "Uppers" are Genuine Leather. The "Balance" as it now seems to be called are "Man Made Materials". WTF happened to "Rubber"? When did they stop making heels out of rubber??? The whole bottom of these shoes look like one big heely lump. No rubber? WTF?

It was a male voice: Barry Gibb. :D
 
Kid found a male UK voice that sounded like it was burping for a Garmin, so it should be available somewhere. Don't you get any extra choices from third party?
 
What the hell happened to Kernel Adiutor!
