for your convenience we've re-directed your parcel to your local Parcel Connect location.

No, Fastway, you've done that for your own convenience, not mine!

And often this note is dropped in your mailbox while you're waiting at home for the delivery.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

They didn't actually drop a note at all! I only saw the message when trying to track the thing down (which involved using a third-party site to convert the tracking number supplied by Amazon into one that Fastway's site would accept).

While commuting, Kiwis lack basic merging abilities

"Line cutter" I signal, find a spot to merge, and merge. Meanwhile the person behind me, tails me, once I merge goes flying up the remaining merge lane, doesn't signal, and cuts in front of as many people as possible

"Me first": see merge coming, tails person in front, ignores the speed of merging traffic.

"Lines, what lines?" the moment they can cross traffic, without mounting a curb, they cross over white solid lines.

"It's an emergency! I want to get to work!" Using emergency lane as new lane for passing.

"Oh my gosh, Why's the traffic so fast?" Doesn't use the merging lane to accelerate. As they are being pushed unto the highway, floors it.

"Choices, choices..." Runs up parallel to merging car

"You only live once" Motorcycle passing between cars where cars are merging.

Am I missing any?

Any chance of sharing said third-party site maybe, possibly ?

There's a chance, yes :)

I'll need to look in the history on my PC when I get home.

Flash drive specifications that exclude read and write speeds. eg,

eg, from sandisk website...

Full Specifications
Capacity
128 GB
Interface
USB 3.0
Connector
USB-A
Compatibility
USB 3.0 (backwards compatible with USB 2.0)
Dimensions (L X W X H)
0.42" x 0.87" x 0.31"
Sequential Read Performance
Up to 100MB/s

Surely the write speed is one of the most important specs, yet it is not in the so called 'full specifications'.... samsung and other manufacturers do this dodgy stuff too.

The Metservice's new look weather page. It sucks! I used to be able to tell at a glance the general weather conditions to expect for the next few days.

I hadn't seen it before, but you're right. It's also not very phone-friendly!

Agreed. I had used the 'beta' of it once, and hated it, and still do. I've been using https://old.metservice.com/ since they've set the new site live.

I just had the "joy" of using the Airbnb site for the first time. Good grief, do they ever test things before inflicting them on the world?!

Email verification link just goes to the home page without actually verifying the address
A different email verification link just goes to the previous page and doesn't even send the email
It asks me to upload a photo, says it's not required, but doesn't let you continue without it.

How is this thing so popular?
