That is precisely why you carry change in your pockets. A little toss over your shoulder, they don't know what happened

Here's something that really grinds my gears:

You are on a website looking at products, and you want to get a bigger picture of the product, so you click where it says "Click for larger image".

Instead of a larger image, you get the exact same tiny ass image in a new tab.

Oh yeah. TTVJ does the same thing. I guess they don't understand that the link needs to go to the larger version i.e. different file. Often times I click on images only to see a smaller version

I think its mostly laziness, not ignorance. Its not like its hard to do.

It's worse on amazon when you get a new window with the same picture, only surrounded with a bigger white border...

I hate it when it's the same picture, but smaller. Because sometimes in the first demo pic, they blew up the original.

I seem to have a knack for getting telephone calls in the office precisely when I cue up a new album to listen to. Its got like a 80% success rate.

Or some dolt strolls into my room asking for help.

I'm going to develop a permanent eye twitch if this keeps up.

And before anyone tells me "well work is the wrong environment, blah blah blah", I'm basically given a task and told 'do your thing', and can go an entire day w/ little interoffice chat/communication, other than when I cue up albums.

I wish people would stick to email.

No, it's true. I have little human interaction in my job. Although I suspect I listen to a lot more albums than you do, because I got my success rate down to below 50%.

The trick is to listen to moar music.

When I first moved in with my current housemate, we played Scrabble pretty much every night for the first half year. We played online so I could listen to my music while we played.
