Thank you for pointing it out promptly, and then proceeding to send in a bunch of examples of other sites calendar failures. Misery loves company! Traveler's travails, from C_Chell "Trying to complete the form on https://www.ihg.com to tell when I plan to arrive at the hotel, I can't complete the form because of this little time problem." "You Have -1 Month(s) To Order!" announces dragoncoder047. "Ah, GradImages... the company that told all graduates that they'd get a free 5x7 but tried to charge me for it, then refused to honor my "unsubscribe" request and is *still* emailing me to this day... Can't do date math? Par for the course." "Stansted Temporal UI design" shared by Michael R. "While waiting for a friend to arrive at Stansted I see this. I better fire up the DeLorean to pick her up at 00:06 tomorrow." While he was hunting through the website, Michael R. also found that "The Stansted airport website seems to suffer from Directional Confusion." Nothing wrong with the calendar here, but Slaoput simply opposes mandatory existence. "I was filling out a form that said the Birthdate is optional, but when I hit submit I found out it was required. (I guess technically you have to be born to fill out the form.)" NOT TO BE! [Advertisement] Picking up NuGet is easy. Getting good at it takes time.

It discusses an ordering error, Google's apparent counting mistake, Microsoft Outlook account and contact-form problems, a pricing-unit misunderstanding, and a New Mexico DOT website. ### Source excerpt Peter G. shared with us yet another ordering bungled example of. "Should really say "please engage in an Easter egg hunt to find your language"." "Google can't count" claimed Peter S.. It adds up. "Yet another proof that 0=1, this time from Google." "Thanks, Microsoft" groused Ivan "Ever since Microsoft ate university e-mail services worldwide and became responsible for major free software mailing lists, quality of service has been steadily dropping. In order to report delivery problems to Outlook, you need a Microsoft account. You're prevented from creating it at first because of "suspicious activity". Once you're in, the contact address is pre-filled for you with an invalid email. Once you fix that in the web developer toolbar, fuck you anyway! I think the form isn't actually expected to work; the fact that the request was submitted is an error. The only thing missing from the experience is the "beware of the leopard" sign." "Mango Math" needs a bit of money math for the rest of the world to understand. Michael R. muttered "I will buy it by the slice then." The joke here is on the tip of my tongue. Explainer: the new pence is one hundredth of the decimal pound. No shillings no more, decreps! At that ratio, 3p per slice of cheesecake would indeed be far less dear than four pounds for the whole thing, barring translucent slices. Alas, the reality is simply the boring fact that the price is 3p per gram. Not as funny but I'm chuckling imagining Michael's transparent serving of diet cheesecake. I'll leave it up to you to decide if a gram really counts as an "item". Clint clucked "Got this email from Bigbadtoystore. Lots of links available for preorder!" I think the talented website builders behind the New Mexico DOT have been busy. [Advertisement] Picking up NuGet is easy. Getting good at it takes time.
