Yeah that air of superiority is pretty prevalent in all my dealings with people from the Bourne.

Us humble folk can cope with superior beings from middle east bourne.
I would probably enjoy a call centre job. I could drive people absolutely insane and now that @R-L has enlightened me to the recording rules....Fuck. So Much fun to be had.

Fucking offshore IT support cretins who can't read a fucking ticket request.
I didn't want my password reset to a 16-character complex piece of shit I can't remember; I wanted you to look at my server admin account and figure out why I wasn't allowed to reset it myself aka I fucking KNOW why: because I asked it to be set up with "Password never expires" and "User cannot change password" and you dumb fucks agreed.
NOW it's a security issue?

My poor little Steve Coogan has been abused.Grumpy as fuck.

Geez, sorry to hear that. Hope it's not too much of a hassle to fix.
Pond life who do this sort of shit could do with a visit to @snowy 's cellar...

@victor-meldrew let's not summon the dark one, he's busy in the basement trying to get all of his "staff" vaccinated, and they aren't cooperating by the sounds of the covid nz thread.
Meh, I'm grumpy and Steve feels dirty now, like the time I let an Audi driver park him for me. Time for a new car I think. And I've got big gin lined up for later as I've sulked at work and I'm going to WFH tomorrow.

You could sound a bit more grumpy about it.
He's asthmatic so he's probably already in a huff.

I have to get this off my chest and ask for the verdict of the Fern collective. The question is: am I the arsehole? Now before you all pile in with a predictable knee-jerk reaction. Hear the story.
We are a two toothbrush family in that we have two electric toothbrushes. One was a cheapy and the other was about £50. Of course as soon as the cheap one was a year old it wouldn’t charge properly, the on switch wouldn’t function but it would turn on randomly, usually in the middle of the night. So. We’re all in agreement, a replacement is needed. Step forward Mrs Cato.
My dear better half surprised me with a new toothbrush at a cost of £139. How can a toothbrush cost £139? Just how? Well, seeing as you’ve asked, I’ll tell you.
Said new toothbrush comes with Bluetooth charging. It has a charging carry case that allows you to charge your toothbrush and your phone from the same plug. It has a holder that you can attach to the bathroom mirror that you can mount your phone on which you can sync with the toothbrush so that it can guide you through the timing etc of your brushing. Moreover, it allows you to download your brushing experience and keep a log of your progress.
So here we come back to the question at hand. I told the sainted Mrs C to fuck off and get rid if this useless pile of shit and give my my £139 back.
Am I the arsehole here?

@catogrande is it an oral b one, sounds a lot like mine, except I just brush my teeth with it and all that extra jazz is no use to me,definitely got mine at least half price during some amazon sale. I feel like the tooth fairy @canefan needs to be the voice of authority on this one...

@catogrande bathroom mirror space is precious mate.

@r-l
You're too kind and forgiving.
A mild spanking really won't change behaviours. A red-hot poker on the other hand...
