That Spiderman can stop a train one minute and struggle to get out from underneath what seems to be a modest amount of rubble the next.

Dropping a large rock on a spider is a well documented method of dispatching a spider. Another fully justified method is burning the infested building down, I know this for sure, I asked my wife.😁

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Being on hold with 2 Degrees, despite leaving them a month ago, so that I can dispute a new bill, even though I’m no longer a customer.

Do it in writing. 2degrees seem to be worse than vodafone at their worst for staff promising to do things and not following thru.

I have just got off the phone from them - absolutely appalling customer service. Glad I left them.

Another Annoy.

Buying something with a USB C port on it, and they leave out the resistors so that it will actually work on a USB C supply, and the support say that they only support it working with their supplied A to C cable on a 5v 2a charger.

Don't put the bloody socket on things if you are doing to cheap out with 2 parts worth a fraction of a cent. If a $2 aliexpress battery charger can manage to put the resistors in then a $200 fancypants clock / sub counter should be able to.

Gave them a 3 star review as I initially thought it was faulty out of box since nothing happened when I plugged it in.

A service that I use once a month only that asks me to change my password every two months - even though I have a very long random password and 2FA enabled for this account.

Annoyed when companies require you to opt-out of something you didn't agree to in the first place

Son got an email from Tower Insurance that he's owed some money

But because it's a low amount, they will donate it to charity on his behalf

If you don't want this to happen, please phone us

I imagine they do a bulk donation collected from x amount of customers, saves having to do multiple refunds to customers

I guess they might also use it as a tax write off?

A win for Tower and a loss for anyone who can't be bothered waiting on a phone line to stop this

Don't care really (it is a low amount), but just annoying

Like supermarket checkouts asking for donations. That multimillion-dollar supermarket can then do a single donation and claim tax credits with my money? No thanks, I rather donate it directly.

I'd rather keep my money to use myself. Get really annoyed when companies ask me to donate like that.

I tried to contact IRD about this to confirm how it works.

Annoyance: you have to log in to myIR even if it's not an account-related question.

I had to join a meeting, so I couldn't finish the query.

When I returned (17 minutes) my IRD session was logged out and the page was redirected.

Thanks, IRD.

What doesn't annoy me and makes me smile - The War on Drugs are playing tonight in Wellington.

What really really annoys me is that it's an open air gig at Anderson Park (and they are playing indoors tomorrow night in Spark Arena Auckland)

We really need a good sized music/entertainment venue in Welly.

The last batch of eftpos machine paper rolls for work seem to have had the red mark when its almost run out overlooked, so its constantly running out and freaking out the people who dont understand technology and how to reprint on it because it need you to read the screen and choose an option.

At least the text of the sign doesn't erroneously refer to the fees as "fines"!
