AGH! It's the little things!
« on: August 22, 2008, 10:05:19 AM »
This is a very little thing, but...

Could the "title" of the podcasts please be a little shorter?  When a track has a name like "WFMU's The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling from 8/19/2008", it is WAY too long to display on most MP3 player screens, so if you've got a backlog of shows on your player, it's damn near impossible to know which show is which.  So you have to start one, fast forward through the multiple intros, and then figure out if it's the one you wanted, realize it's not, and then start again on the next one...

AGH! The little things!

Maybe just put the date first: "8/19/2008 - WFMU's The Best Show..."?

Now there's a first-world problem.

True...  it's more of a whine than a problem...  still annoys me, though.

I believe you can rename the mp3 file anything you want.

Yes... I'm aware that I can rename the files... which I typically do when I remember to do so.  The point is, it would be nice if ... ah forget it.

I was all set to say I sympathize with you, first world though your problem/whine may be, but when I found out you can rename files, that impulse disappeared.

You know what I hate?  When you're going into a place at the same time as someone else, and they hustle to get in front of you so they can be in line before you, and then they're really really slow when it's their turn.

I think I could be the next Andy Rooney.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I really bugs me when people abbreviate a word by omitting one letter.

Wait, Whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?  You fast forward through the intros?  I listen to every single intro every single time and enjoy all of them.

I hate picking the one self-checkout line out of five that bogs down with people who can't work a bar code scanner. If it happened in every line, I could tolerate it; the fact that people who get there 10 minutes after me are flying past me makes it unbearable.

or when ive got my arms full of heavy stuff that ive placed on the floor (sanitary conditions apply) and the line is moving quickly.  usually by the third time of having to pick it up moments after setting it down, i decide to hold on to it since i'm next in line.  now the person in front of me is slowww

i hold on to my stuff like a dunce until my arms are shaking (it's pretty heavy: usually milk and some other awkward thing) until i decide this is insane what i'm doing, set my stuff down, and the furthest self-checkout register opens.
