When we were in Naples I couldn’t work out the smart TV in the hotel and this was all that came up. Mesmerising (I quite enjoyed it) but also completely ridiculous.

Interesting to see that it’s had 3.3 million views, huge audience for niche ambient / electronic material - who knew?
Possibly many of them have watched via hotel room smart TV too (ie well promoted)

On ITV now, Searching for Michael Jackson’s Zoo With Ross Kemp.
Presumably from the team that brought us Youth Hostelling With Chris Eubank.

Does it have a hole in the middle and if not why not?

Disappointingly it didn’t but it did come shrink wrapped.

A conversation I had with a private ‘eye-screening’ service this morning…
Me: Hi I had a missed call from you. Just wanted to make sure my appointment hasn’t been cancelled.
Lady: You want to cancel your appointment?
Me: No, I had a call from you this morning, which I missed. I’m just checking that the appointment is still going ahead.
Lady: Oh I see, so the call from us was to cancel the appointment?
Me: I don’t know, I missed the call. I’m hoping it hasn’t been cancelled.
Lady: Let me check… and you want to cancel and rearrange that for another date?
Me: No , I just want to know why you called me, I’m checking to make sure the appointment is still going ahead.
Lady: I see. Let me check… we called you this morning!
Me: Yes. Why?
Lady: That’s all cancelled for you.
Me: Are you fucking stupid???

The amount of people in this country that are genuinely terrible at their job is astounding. Yet you never meet anyone who freely admits to being fucking useless at whatever it is they’re paid to do.

Yep same. I’m in a senior position, and I delegate. Job done.

I feel your pain. Literally every interaction with my local GP is like this, to which is added the indignity of the fucking receptionist asking what is wrong with you…
I like to go into extremely graphic detail when asked. Small wins Rodney…

Ha ha. They really are a breed these receptionists aren’t they?
“Im speaking to you in a very condescending and patronising way so as to mask my complete incompetence. Please don’t raise your voice at me.”
Having said that, the general public can be complete luddites. I’d hate to work in any kind of industry that serves the public.

here the problem, all your interactions had 2 points, with multiple answers for both points.
this probably made the AI unit you were speaking with crash as it’s only programmed to answer single topic /mono keyword questions.
also, you probably reverse-jedi mind tricked by mentioning keywords: cancel, and missed😅
**was this for an optician? or for a P.I like Magnum? it’s been a long day
