Stupid little things that bug you

Yeah, I was coming to that conclusion. Question is; do I get another Samsung or go for a different Android manufacturer. And I'm not sure about ditching my current phone immediately as my Wembley ticket is sitting in the wallet app.
I had that dilemma recently. I was gonna buy an OPPO but then I saw the S23 Pro reduced to $1200 as the S24 was due out (about 600 quid) so went with that, I haven't regretted it. Brilliant phone brilliant camera. Plus Samsung have just given us an update that gives us the same AI features as the S24 (very nice of them) :)
 
People who use the speaker phone function in a public place, and hold their phone at 90° to their gobs. In effect, they're having a conversation that everyone nearby can hear. We're not interested in your banal conversation, thank you very much.
That's why I put school holidays, we use the trams quite a lot and when the little brats are not at school the trams are full of them, using their fucking thousand dollar phones just like you describe. Feet on seats as well which annoys me, I'm becoming Victor Meldrew :)
 
Food eating noises in adverts. I can’t even stand that “glug, glug, glug” noise they use for Coke or Pepsi ads when just pouring it. Even worse in a cinema at 500 decibels.

The advert for Magnum ice creams where they amplify the sound of the chocolate coating breaking… aaargh! Hate it.

That and people getting over-excited in adverts over a fast food burger or chicken wrap like it’s haute cuisine.
I hear you...

Ancient proverb from Misophoniland; "If I've heard you eating, I've imagined your death."

I'm not looking to spend that much as my current broken Samsung is just over two years old. A Samsung A15 5G is £170 to £180 and has all the features I need including 6.5" screen, 128 M memory, NFC, decent camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, Android v14 and has a type-C charge socket which matches all the chargers I have for the current phone.
I did a soft reset on my current phone then left it in safe mode for a couple of hours (as recommended by Samsung) and it seems to last longer between random resets but it's by no means stable. A factory reset would be my last resort but I'm worried about losing my season ticket and other passes in the wallet. - A backup is in order if I can work out how to do it.
 
Heartburns can be quite bothersome. According to information i found on Canadian Pharmacy Partnership, it is not a huge deal and can be solved with one pill, still i would like to understand where are those coming from and why i have them so often for the last couple of months.
