Thanks for nothing @Lufthansa - letting a bot tell me that you are overloaded with calls and hanging up on me is definitely the way to go for an urgent problem that I cannot solve online! #epicfail

#Microsoft #Office365 updates driving me up the wall - again. Now I have to press "post" below a comment in Word to "post" that comment. Huge waste of time that makes adding comments to edits a pain. Yet another #epicfail

Ich mag Unternehmen nicht, die mich Duzen und glauben, dass ich dann eher bereit bin, von ihnen etwas zu kaufen. Hier ein netter Artikel zum Thema https://t.co/dYrrQ9FIf1

September 3rd - 600 books published in one day. And that's just in English, I assume. https://t.co/aYPn1AxjSm

@SDL annoying me also today. Appstore not letting me download an app because even after 3x logging in, I am still not logged in. The joys of "digitalization" - why doesn't anybody ever speak of the costs (time, stress, money) when things do not run smoothly?

Feeling harassed by @WellsFargo's insurance department after speaking to them twice and submitting the required insurance documentation, they keep asking for the same info. #getyouracttogether #harassment #epicfail

Another annoying #Windows10 update providing me with the "all new", but to me useless, edge browser has once again knocked out my touchpad and various other functions. I will start billing #Microsoft for lost working hours as a result of their random updates

[Esma Gregor @AlphaQuark]

I got goosebumps, too

[Greg Kyle ⛵️ (ChefonaBoat) @gregk_nyc]

Goosebumps 😊

A national leader who not only can do math, but can also explain it...

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

You know, a national leader who can do math.

@tom_trans That certainly backfires when the English native speaker has trouble understanding the source language idioms which I have seen happen numerous times even with exceptionally good translators into English.

Good piece from @zoesqwilliams
We say we value key workers, but their low pay is systematic, not accidental

“As sick people come to hospital E.R.s, and as they are admitted to hospitals, we can expect the number of people getting surprise medical bills to explode,” one expert says.

Very helpful

This is a wonderful read--even if you aren't stuck in NYC, or know someone who is. https://t.co/t5mRdJEAFc via @voguemagazine

Makes you angry

Wer nach einer Woche keine Miete mehr zahlt:

- H&M (Gewinn 2019: 1,27 Milliarden €)
- Adidas (Gewinn 2019: 2 Milliarden €)

Wer weiterhin Miete zahlt:

- das Café um die Ecke
- die kleine Buchhandlung
- der Bäcker
- das kleine Theater

Einfach genial, wie dieser Markt regelt.

[Eric Hancock @eric_d_hancock]

WTF

The timing is not a coincidence.
