But then you have to waste time saying yes. And also it's really contingent, like is it do I have time to answer a question that's going to take me two minutes, or that's going to involve me doing a few hours work? It's like they want to lock you into a yes you can help without actually giving any detail. Just ask, and then I'll reply when I do have time to answer!

Several lines about a lemon. :lol: I'm intrigued!
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Yes. Just ask the damn question and I'll get back to you when I can. No-one has time for useless back-and-forths. :flo:

Mine will literally do one line for 'Hi!' followed by a 'how are things?' etc on a different line, and so on. Drives me potty.

I have one of those too! I wonder if it’s because it’s sent via computer which sends everything you press Enter.

IWLTS - try starting with "I agree with wiggle because xyx" rather than just repeating what I said immediately after I said it!

As you can tell, work is rather annoying at the moment :uhh:

someone in my team at my old place used to start off with "GM Ella"before pressing Enter after every line, as above.


the "GM " was/is very annoying. "Hi "would have been fine

IWLTS: I always thought you were a judgmental imbecile but I'm late to the party knowing you're actually an evil asshole. To Jillian Michaels. I'd say it to her Trump and RFK Jr supporting stupid face, but I'll never meet her, thankfully.

I had to give all the DVDs I had of her to the charity shop, Five. She's clearly desperate for relevance. Let's see if she's still shilling for him after four years of this.

IWLTS: your surname is plural, it does not have an apostrophe :flo:

My friend has just posted a picture of her new doormat with "The Smith's" on it. She did the same with Christmas pyjamas last year. I know it's minor but it sets my teeth on edge.

Go there in the dark of night with a black marker pen to add "doormat" after their possessive claim.

Don’t even bother to hide your identity. These idiots need to know.
