Frustration of the internet

[Bodd]

I would hate to work in an office. The Internet does my head in.

Day at home today to getting tasks off my my list.

Try registering a 3 year warranty for a new Milwaukee tool I've just bought... doesn't recognise the code I'm putting I try it with spaces without spaces and what ever.

Then there is a contact I have to leave my phone number for them to get back to me. So now I'm waiting. Task not complete

Task 2. Ideal boilers registering for greater privileges. ie longer warranties and greater kick backs

I log in with password eventually. I
Then get an email with a link. I try to log in
..... doesn't recognise my password. Talk to Ideal. They give me a skeleton password. Still don't work. Now I'm waiting for them to call me back.

Another task not completed..

I know what will happen. I'll either get call backs next week or when my head is into something else.

I just did the washing up and unloaded the dishwasher.

Task achieved

Washing up AND dishwasher. Erm....

Not everything goes in the dishwasher. Reasons include

• It will be damaged by it.
• Despite what the adverts for magic tablets tell you, just spraying it with hot soapy water will not get it clean.
• It takes up too much room.

Maybe you're just not tech savvy?

You mean some websites and some web forms? When it works and works well it's a massive time saver. Just think how little you could get done before the Internet, email and how easy it is now to find information and exchange information.

Your right Freddie and I get frustrated with myself
I'm not.... but it seems sometimes just a cluck of a button doesn't do what it should. I'm sure it's not just me

Of course but navigate a said website isn't always straightforward.

Is it nit working because the site because there is a sight or is it just that I'm not tech savvy

But are we better off as a society prior to the internet?

Ive had Neff, Bosch, Miele. ATEOTD ye cannae change the laws of chemistry - dishwasher detergent will damage some things no matter who makes the machinery that sprays it around in hot water.
