my recent ex would just yell at me from 3 rooms away. I’d be forced to yell back “what??” and then half the time she wouldn’t say anything. So I’d get up and walk over there and ask “what??”. “oh, nothing, I wanted you to see this thing on TV”. I’d ask that she could please walk over and talk to me directly so I didn’t have to yell or get up and it would never happen.
That’s actually what i told my GF. I tried to get her to start calling me on the phone or facetime, which is ridiculous, but I mean she could just walk over and talk to me in person too…
I always try to explain to people why I don’t like when they just call my name across a house.
If you would like something, come ask me, or shoot me a message if it’s not super important.
I’m not a dog. I’m not a servant. You will not summon me like one. You will not snap your fingers or whistle to get my attention. If you do, you get ignored.
“Come here if you want something!” and then remain silent until they come. I love my gf but I’m done having a conversation yelling across the whole apartment.
After asking for months or years for her to stop making me raise my voice and yell back, I started responding in a shitty tone like “WHAT?? WTF DO YOU WANT” which is a negative thing to have to do. But that had no effect either, other than perhaps a negative one on me psychologically.
Not saying this is a cool thing to do or a conscious decision, it was just driving me really fucking insane to ask her to stop 5 times a day for over a year and she kept doing it. So she’s either totally oblivious, didn’t give a fuck that it was frustrating me, or it was intentional.
One of my co-workers does this from her office. I pretend I have really bad hearing and don’t ever respond, but she persists.
Thankfully, my husband and I are pretty good about actually approaching each other. If I ever heard my husband call me from another room, I’d know it’s an emergency.
My co-worker goes to google.com and types URLs into the search field, sometimes not even the correct URL (e.g., when she’s trying to sign into her Zoom account, she’ll search for “zoom.com”)
I’ve tried gently persuading her to try typing it in the address bar, but then she will mistype it and tell me, “See, it’s not working!” and I’d like to show her how to use bookmarks and try to make her life a lot easier, but she insists she knows what she’s doing and isn’t having it.
Sadly, she’s also fallen prey to numerous obvious scams, including a pig butchering scam that drained her resources for years.
I’d really like to find a way to teach some basic tech literacy to older people. I’ve been able to help my parents recognize scams at least, but some people are aggressively unwilling to learn new things.
Long-term type of romance scam so called because the scammer is “fattening the pig for slaughter,” building trust until they have drained the victim of everything they have.
Hey, what’s up, everyone? Mark Rober here. I’m beyond excited to share something I’ve been secretly crafting for the past month. Brace yourselves for the grand reveal of a life-sized maze that I’ve built for my girlfriend. It’s not just any maze; it’s an epic journey with twists, turns, and challenges at every corner.

Stick around as we embark on this maze adventure together, and let’s see if love blossoms in the heart of this green labyrinth. Get ready for the maze of a lifetime!
Google search results have become so bad i barely use it today. Its even better to use chatgpt. You have to take every answer with a grain of salt but usually it can give you a few options and give you resources to work with. Google search sucks ass. The amount of times i do NOT find what im searching for is way too high
