In the 1640's the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam built a 12 foot wall. 1664 the British ignored the wall and took New Amsterdam by sea. It's now called New York. They took down the wall and built a street, which is now called Wall Street.

These Stupid Ass Buttons On TV Remotes. The Intrusive Thoughts Won.

Seriously, the absolute most annoying shit when I'm watching something and I reach for the remote and barely bump the buttons and it yeets me out of what I was watching, to whatever bullshit streaming company paid the most for a button spot on the remote, the remote that came with a TV I paid good money for. Meanwhile on some apps completely loosing my progress on a movie or forced to watch more Ads again to continue watching again. I've threatened to do this before and my wife insisted not to, she's out of town this week, any recommendations for marriage counselors and anger management programs? submitted by /u/rekolm to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]

My dasher attached a weird religious note to my order. Who asked?

What compels people to spend their own time and money trying to convert random strangers to their religion? I just want you to deliver my coffee, not annoy me with your personal opinions/convictions submitted by /u/UberShark12 to r/doordash [link] [comments]
