What first world problem did you have today?

[Ajay]

They didn't provide coffee? What kind of dump are you staying in?

No . There goes a star.

 

[highland145]

No . There goes a star.

Eff that. Coffee, popcorn, nuts, nutribars, water. When the Masters renters are in, more coffee and sweets.

Just occurred to me, ibuprofen, got 4 guys coming in for practice tickets.

My new book finally arrived on Friday. I finished it today so I don't have a new book to read anymore.

Where is Waldo?

Where is Waldo?

Like I told the previous copper, I had nothing to do with the disappearance of Waldo. I hardly knew the guy.

Drove down to the beach this afternoon after I got finished mowing the yard...damned it it wasn't STILL full of tourists...late on a Sunday afternoon...letting their speshul little snowflakes run all over the place unattended...like it was a fenced playground or something.

HEY YOU LITTLE SHITS...I'M DRIVING HERE!

(fortunately, I was able to negotiate my way through all the human obstacles and sand traps without incident)

 

[IronWing]

You drive on the beach? What an asshole.

Typo?

 

[BoomerD]

You drive on the beach? What an asshole.

We have a 5 mile stretch of beach that is open to driving year-round...after Labor Day, they open up another 5 or so miles of beach to driving.

My statement stands.

Nah, I hate all the paperwork that comes from running them over...no matter how much they deserve it...plus, then I gotta wash my truck to get all the gunk off.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not arguing that I'm NOT an asshole...I most certainly AM...just that it's completely legal and acceptable to drive on the beach here.

 

[IronWing]

So you're not the only asshole. But I will allow that people who ride horses on the beach are bigger assholes than people who drive on the beach.

Maybe...the company who has the horses always has 2, sometimes 3 "corrals" where they have horse rides...and often, there are more than 50 horses on the beach at one time...but they do have a poop-pickup guy who does a "half-assed" job of it.

I like the quote from the page you linked:

It’s neat that you are allowed to drive on a beach. So many places it is not allowed. It proves that with care the population can enjoy themselves with harming the beach.

 

[BoomerD]

I like the quote from the page you linked:

Technically, the beach is a state highway...one that allows children, dogs, and oblivious tourists to wander aimlessly on foot. (and all too often, in cars, on rented scooters and bikes)

Amazon website complaints that have bugged me so much I started a Chat with them... there is no site feedback link that I can find.

1) Your Orders summary page - this page lists insufficient summary info. It does not show order number or the actual amount paid, but rather the items' individual current price. That is of little use for an Order History/Summary page. I have the Amazon credit card that gets me 5% back and on the bill it lists all orders as just the order number, cost, and retailer name like Amazon.com*MH2NO Amzn.com/bill WA. So if people want to compare their bill with what was purchased on the site to see if everything is correct in a given month, they would have to click into each order on the Your Orders page to even see the order number. I had over 15 orders for this last bill, which makes this completely tedious. Right now, the order summary page is only good for seeing what shipped and when. There is also an Order History Report (not easily accessible) which will list order number and segregate each order by line item but I'd have to add each item's total for a given order number - also tedious.

2) Your order has shipped emails - these emails are worthless other than telling you *something* has shipped. Here they list the order number but don't list the items for whatever reason. From my recollection, every other website I've used to buy anything shows you what item you purchased when it sends you an email it has shipped. I order frequently enough that having to click on the button after clicking into my email to find out what has shipped is an issue. It could easily be added to the info on the email instead of just listing an order number. You also have the issue of sometimes only a partial order being shipped, so just show the damn items that have shipped instead of saying only part of it has shipped. What also doesn't make sense is that the same email will show you "Buy It Again" and actually show you images of what you've purchased in the past. Show me an image of what just shipped then, for fuck's sake. Both perhaps a marketing ploy to get you to go to the website...

I'm not some baller ordering expensive things - they are frequently like $10-$25 each order. I like that Prime affords people the freedom to order randomly as needed for no extra shipping cost each time which is exactly my use case. But these are glaring user experience issues that the largest retail website in the world being around for 20+ years should not have. I'm a web-app-dev'r by trade and after working out all the bugs, the next important thing should be to put yourself in the user's shoes. The chat representatives were very receptive to these and said it would be implemented but I'm not hopeful...

You can look at the invoice. Yes I know it's another click.

Multiple orders, 2 clicks each to go in and back and finding your place again. Versus simply scrolling down through all the orders. Adding an order number (and total paid) to a summary page is cake, not to mention pertinent, which makes no sense they don't do it.

Does nobody check their bill?

The invoice is mailed to you. Don't tell me you are still on dumb phones.

Not sure what this even means. I hate using my smartphone to browse anything for longer than a minute. I'm comparing a paper bill (even if digital bill, doesn't matter) against my Amazon orders (on a desktop) once a month. If the Amazon website Orders page added order numbers and total paid for each order like Newegg & BestBuy (who leaves out a unique ID on an order page???), it makes things simple. Not sure how what you said is supposed to help. You're asking me to go into each order or look at each invoice email/mail to compare this list when it could be done on 1 page via scrolling just by adding 2 pieces of data they already have.

This was a feedback suggestion to Amazon, not to tell them they're hiding the invoice.

 

[IronWing]

IT hasn't said anything yet but I think our company network is under attack. One by one, mission critical databases are going down. IT just posts updates on what is affected but gives no causes.
