This thread is for minor things that bug you.

Every few months I get a bill on my phone or by e-mail. The bill says the name of the company and the amount due and nothing else. There's no way to contact who sent it find out what I'm being charged for. It almost always turns out to be a billing company for another company. But the bill is months after I bought the product or service. How difficult is it to put the name of the company charging you on the bill?

Just say what it is, "criticizes" and "questions". Its literally the #1 method for me to judge News as biased one way or another.

Most of them are good people, but still it bug me how persistent they can be.

When I do a google search and it removes all my search terms accept "the."

That's a little exaggerated but stuff happens. As part of my book, I searched for "Doctors working overseas in the 1950s" and it removed the terms 1950s and working overseas. So I got a bunch of random pages discussing doctors.

It always removes 1950s which stinks for me because my book was set in the 1950s and I'm not really interested in reading about stuff that wasn't invented until decades after my story was set.
