Fair point.

Venting about something when a solution is obvious annoys me.

Would you like me to ty and resolve that for you? 😜

Software change logs that consist of "Fixed [issue]" where [issue] is literally a copy/paste of the subject of the bug report. Today's release has "Fixed 将单独的代码窗口拖到另一个代码窗口上时卡住重启". Helpful.

The TY was enough, you kind person - I feel much better now.

Or apps that have "Fixed some bugs" and nothing else.

Ha ha...I saw that as I pressed "Post Reply" and simply thought, "Nah - they can live with it, if I can". 😄

If you've got better things to do with your life, then you found the time to post a grievance here - where it'll have zero impact.

To be fair this thread seems to exist so people can vent - not necessarily find a solution.

On a forum that seems to be predominantly male, who, as a species, seem to specialise in "fixing things" whether it's wanted or not. 😜

Don't assume anything. You have no idea of the demographics here - there's only one person that would know and that's me.

Sure, gender may be imbalanced, but not as much as you think. The same applies to age. You'd be surprised.

Leaving my phone in another room and it starts ringing and my watch is charging in yet another room, getting out of my office chair into my wheelchair navigating through the house to reach the phone just as it stops ringing. Then to find it’s an unknown caller.

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

Fair. It was a generalisation, probably excessively so.

Very few users adopt names that show their gender straight away. And yes, there quite a few that use a gender-neutral or male-assumed name - likely to avoid situations observed in other online communities.

It's another discussion but they wouldn't have to do this if men learnt/were taught how to behave.

Right. But what's the species range?

Could be worse! Could be someone you actually want to talk to, but can never get hold of!!

But yeah...pet peeve (minus the wheelchair for me).

Fully agree with you on that. It's more than a small annoyance that we have such behaviour as the "norm".

Except for @PeterReader, I'd say only humans. Unless we have some unknown extraterrestrials aliens around.
