Other What's ruining your life right now?

Sounds like something my missus would do... Like the time she was driving back from uni late after a show and discovered the main road was closed for works - instead of simply following the diversion through the villages and towns, or setting up her phone as a satnav, she calls me crying and insist I navigate her REMOTELY USING GOOGLE MAPS ON MY PHONE.

I **** you not, I had to navigate her, turn by turn, using a combination of identifiable landmarks (aka Tesco stores, petrol garages and bridges), the odd street name she could see in the dark and GUESSING HER POSITION in relation to these things.

What a journey that was...

 

Yeah I've been a remote satnav on several occasions.

 

Using an old Android [as in Gingerbread old] phone... it's painful...

...it does however turn on and can manage calls and SMS so puts it one up on what i had.

 

What's ruining my life? I hit a patch of ice and crashed into a snowbank. Thankfully I made it out with no injuries. Already started a insurance claim.

I don't have a working vehicle right now but I hope I can get a payout from this accident. But I'm still alive and well!

First Car Accident. Single Vehicle Rollover.

 

By the looks of that I'd also put that in the 'what currentky makes you life awesome?' thread as you walked away unscathed by the sounds of it.

Well, physically, it'll still shock the hell out of you.

Glad you're in better shape than your car dude.

 

Is there nothing you cannot do with your Dymo, almost tempted myself to purchase such a thing?

 

Yeah I'm glad as well. it was good lil Jeep. Part of the reason I got this is that it has a good rollover protection but lemme tell you something.. the roof caved in almost hitting my head.. like 1 Inch away from the crown of my head.. any further and I would be dead or crippled.

I had plans to fix the Jeep up but now I have to find another one since this is a 1992 Jeep.. meaning it will be tricky to find another one.

 

A bit too close for comfort that.

At least it was an inch away from your head. Always tricky to work out how to deal with things like that, on the one hand you can feel unlucky that it happened to you but at the same time lucky that you had a car that was built well enough to protect you.

If I were you I'd be doing my damndest to try and find another 92 Jeep

 

Yeah. This is a sport edition.. None of those gadgets and bells and whistles like the Laredo edition. I just have to wait until I hear from my insurance.

 

Glad you are OK fella.

 

Lucky as hell! Worth noting other car brands with roll protection, or rather roof crash bars to deflect Elk, Saab and Volvo

 

I'm so getting one of those soon. I mean, you can only imagine what that thing would be like to some one with autism who loves to label and categorise everything !

 

Trying to reduce how much i'm paying out in bills... only to find... I've reduced them as much as I can.

 

Bought Ram costing £166 an hour ago, isn't compatible with Ryzen, Maplins refused to exchange or refund, no wonder their in administration. I thought we had a 14-day return policy?

 

Was it bought online?

 

IIRC, they won't echange/refund because they're in administration. Basically you just get added to the bottom of the administrator's list of people Maplin owe money to.

You might've got somewhere if the RAM was faulty, but not for 'dopey me, I bought the wrong stuff'.

If it was bought on credit card you might be able to claw the money back that way.

 

Bought in store, so it's compatible with my Ryzen, just not my motherboard lol

 

went to bed last night, no pain discomfort etc. Work up this morning, sprained ankle, seriously WTF...
