Been looking for a rental after being off the market for a few years and one agent was demanding a screenshot of my credit report before they would even let me arrange a viewing.

For stuff like this they I assume they are going to run their own report when needed but initially are trying to weed out people who think their credit report might be full of red flags.

I would love to have a daily physical media product delivered to my house in the morning with an easy to read and edited summary of the previous days sports and political events along with curated listings of upcoming local events

I used to have that but the summaries started to get pretty low-effort and buried in ads, and the curated lists started to become curated by idiots.

If your hotel has a gym it probably has a water dispenser of some kind in it that you can use to fill up for free. If the hotel you're staying in doesn't have a gym it's probably a crummy hotel.

I usually just fill up my water bottle at whatever sink is in the room. Have not yet encountered a room without a sink but maybe that is coming after the fridge usage charges become widespread.

It took me a long time to retire my home-button iPhone for a newer model with no home-button, and the most consistent issue I have is getting apps to actually close. With the old phone it as easy, double-punch the home-button and flick away the tile containing the app. Now I have to slowly and deliberately grab the bottom-most edge of the screen and drag upward until the app minimizes to a tile – but don't drag too far! Or else it will dissolve into a nether region where it can only be retrieved by again grabbing the bottom-most portion of the screen and slowly, deliberately dragging upward until it appears.

You don’t have to manually close apps tho.

Ice cream is no longer a pint. Well Ben and Jerry's is still a pint but I swear they're adding more stabilizers then they use to although I could be wrong.

With ice cream it is easy to just whip in more air and keep the containers the same size. You could even raise prices while putting less actual stuff in the containers!

Big fan of whenever I get an Amazon email of the form: "Someone has posted a question about [PRODUCT] that is in your purchase history, go see if you can answer it!" Like I'm supposed to jump at the chance to work for them for free.

My favorite part of this process is when you are reading a product page and you see answers or reviews that were obviously written by boomers who got one of these emails and thought it was a personal message that they were obligated to respond to.

My municipality renogotiated the private trash pickup contract such that the garbage man having to roll the trash bins out from the back/side of apartment buildings now costs a lot extra. So now there is a cottage industry of independent contractors (aka a guy in a yellow vest) who landlords hire to come by the building and put the bins out on the curb the night before and then come by again after pickup and return the bins. Sometimes that guy shows up and sometimes he doesn't, but there is really no way to check aside from the tenants maybe noticing that the trash bins are overflowing for some reason and connecting the dots enough to complain.
