^That's not the only online clothing thing I've seen like that. Amazon is a bit like that too with sizings. e.g. if you select something in the default colour and first change size from 'S' to 'XL' then change the colour to, say, 'green' the size also changes to the default - usually small.
And if you don't notice the size was auto-changed, then three days later you find you have received a pair of small green shorts that would barely fit an Action Man...

Sigh
Thing is, 'white' is in stock and I was able to change it from blue and order - but if I hadn't been paying full attention I'd have ordered the wrong colour.
I've seen that on Amazon, too McG - also very annoying.

Perhaps they need naming and shaming? If it's possible to shame Amazon.
Dog next door barking at 6.30 in the morning. Then for most of the last 1 1/2 hours off and on, even after I go out in the garden and bellow "SHUT UP!"

The landowners for our parkrun failing to inform us that the organisers of next weekend’s festival event (30th July) would start setting up today right across our course forcing us to cancel at short notice.
This is not the first time.
Then they are surprised that we haven’t gone ahead with our event. It’s a bit hard with a big barrier across our route and cars/traffic due to bring more stuff on Saturday morning!

Countless pictures from a FB friend celebrating their child's *graduation* from nursery. And then posting a pic of themselves at their actual graduation next to a pic of their 4yo. Give me strength

I hate all that ‘graduation’ stuff too WA. Another pointless Americanism that means nothing.

First world but not insignificant. That's certainly one of the noises from the shared office I can't cope with but the list is long.
'Shared offices that don't really need to be shared' would perhaps be the easiest way for me to generalise.

Smoke free, its always been the case.
I remember when I was applying for teaching jobs i would meticulously log all applications and whether they had responded, invited me for interview etc.
I think about 75% never responded.
I wouldn't think it was too difficult to send a standard letter just saying you have been unsuccessful, I would have preferred that just to tick them off. And these days of course you can do it by email, costs nothing and takes seconds.
I bet I'd get a higher success rate these days too...
