If I need to read the label, I take a picture of it with my phone and then pinch it to make it larger so I can read it

Yep. I bought a GE gas stove from Lowes a few weeks ago. It's a brand new model replacing a discontinued model. After delivery and installation I noticed that the storage drawer didn't look right when closed. The left side closed flush with the oven door but the right side stuck out a bit. When I took out the drawer and turned it over it was clear that the two corners were manufactured differently, one was turned evenly, the other was tucked behind another metal part. Not critical but this was expensive and brand new, it should be close to perfect!
I called Lowes and at first they said they would order a new storage drawer. Then they called back. We can't exchange the drawer, we have to send a whole new stove. I found that odd but if that's what they need to do, OK.
When they came to deliver the replacement stove I told the delivery guy the situation and that I wanted to look at the new drawer first. He took it out, let me inspect it (both corners turned correctly) and we even tried it out on my stove in the kitchen. All was good and he was fine with just exchanging the drawer. I noted that when I signed the delivery receipt.
I thought I was done but a few days later I got an automated call from Lowes delivery that I had a delivery coming the next day! WHAT? Waited through a few phone menu steps and got to a person who told me I had a stove coming tomorrow! No, I have my stove already.
Left hand needs to know what the right hand is doing!
In the big picture, I'm LOVING MY NEW STOVE!
NateW, in doing research before buying my new kitchen appliances (refrigerator and dishwasher last summer, washer 2 years ago) I read many reviews and product reports. There were too many instances of Samsung appliances with electrical problems and too many comments about problems with Samsung support. I know internet reviews aren't always a reliable source but when I shopped I decided to eliminate Samsung as an option. Good luck with your stove.
So I'm not the only one who silently screams "YES!"
Uh, no. Whenever I receive something that says, “Warning: this is your last chance to order x - we’ll drop you from our mailing list”, I think, “if only”......puhleese make it so...
+100Companies that screw up and say "we don't know what happened."
They can erroneously cancel your insurance and not notify you, then keep taking your $1300/month?? WTF?
I hate our miserable, error-prone, fraud-prone, complicated, insurance system.
That's why God invented horns.Why is it, when you are in the left turn lane in a long line of cars waiting for the advanced green signal, that the only person not paying attention to the lights is the guy at the very front ?

That happens all the time around here....people on phones texting, etc. I'm glad I have a very loud horn in my truck!
The shift in baseball. Still don’t like it. And don’t even get me started in the horrible umpiring that is ramped in the league this year!
I saw a neat youtube video in which a guy had installed an air compressor and locomotive air horn in his pickup truck. That worked!
I think a pet peeve should be the fault of others but this is the closest thread for this. My language skills are largely based on what sounds right from my experience rather than knowing grammatical rules. I just saw the headline "How Trump can win a historically consequential faceoff" and I thought "an" would sound better to me but I'm inclined to think the headline is correct just because it's from a major media outlet. Then I thought "an historic" is correct and "a consequential" is correct but I can't explain why other than they sound correct. I'm not good with identifying the parts of speech, but the words "historic" and "consequential" seem like the same type of word, yet one goes with "an" and the other with "a" which bothers me. I should probably learn this stuff more formally.
