Cruel Brittanica

"No browser is the best browser," opines Michael R. sarcastically as per usual for tdwtf. "Thank you for suggesting a browser. FWIW: neither latest Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera work. Maybe I should undust my Netscape."

When All You Have is a Nail

...everything looks like a hammer.

"Where is this plane?" wondered erffrfez (hope I spelled that right), explaining "I was on a flight across Aus, and noticed that the back of seat display doesn't seem to know exactly where the plane is. There are two places where 'distance to destination' is displayed. They never matched and the difference varied through the flight." I have a suspicion this is related to the January 20 WTF.

Spacetime Anomalies

Do we need better verb tenses to describe a counterfactual present from the future perspective? Any trained linguists in the audience, please helped out.

Reinier B. will wonder "Does this mean my cloud storage plan never expires? Or does it expire every day at noon? It's an obvious phishing mail though."

Some Southern Exposure

Never let it be said that we at TDWTF dish it out and can't take it.

Morgan immediately dished "I'm not sure what date my delivery will arrive but I will {PlanToBeAtHomeWhenItDoes}. "

Chicken Feed

"Zero balance due now!" shouted davethepirate "To be fair, I had disputed a charge on a bill and they finally relented which should have actually resulted in them owing me $1.01, but I'm happy with the win." I'm sure yarr.

Twofers

This week's episode is brought to you by the number two.

"Two Error'ds in two months from these guys!" exclaim'd Thad H. Frist was this, about which Thad snarked "Canada got rid of the penny years ago. I guess the 407ETR took that literally."

Two-faced

by Lyle Seaman in Error'd on 2026-01-02

For the first Error'd of the future-facing year, we return to our most-hated pattern of every prior year. Namely, broken password mechanisms. Meanwhile, on a personal note, I'm sitting at a boarding gate behind a planeload of people who were scheduled on a flight 12 hours ago! Sure, first-world problems but hoo boy.

"I'll get on that right away" snapped longtime contributor Argle Bargle. "I needed to make a helpdesk request. For some reason they think I need to update my password. Sure, I can appreciate that it's been a while since I've made any password change. The only catch is, I've only been with the company six months."
