I absolutely, positively, without a doubt, undeniably mega-loathe the automated speak-your-answer prompts!! Why can't I just press 1? Why do I have to sit here an utter random words and sound like a buffoon?? Then most of the time it doesn't understand what you said and you have to repeat yourself, or it takes you to a whole other menu. Ugh. Businesses just need to stop with those damn things. And what happened to pressing 0 to get a live representative? Seems like almost every business has now blocked that.
I hate calling anywhere for anything. Something that could - and SHOULD - only take 30 seconds takes 9 minutes because I have to sit here and say one word prompts over and over.
+1 I can't stand those automated menus that demand you speak to a fuckin recording.
For sure! Some automated menus are voice activated and that's when I just start repeating over and over, "Operator, operator operator, operator..." until their little wires start to fry!

i initially read this as "could have beans" and at FIRST I thought we were talking about Hedo's cat, THEN I thought we were talking about actual beans and now I want beans on toast.
NOM NOM NOM That photo is presumably from a few months ago. Fun Fact: On Facebook's website if you go to your messages and click on the little settings wheel there's a function "view all photos in this thread" which can be incredibly useful if you're one of those people that constantly messages your bestie random shit like evidence of your breakfast being eaten. Not that I'm at all one of those people If I'm "cooking" it I just do English muffin, toasted, buttered, scoop o' beans (warmed on the stove) and a fried egg on top. Or just whatever sliced bread I have toasted buttered warmed beans on top. It's super messy to eat but so fucking delicious I wanna go open a can now. Damn.
Beans, chilies, spaghetti, salsa, artichoke hearts, olives, any kind of tomato sauce, pickles... get any of those things near me before 12 noon and I'm running for the door!

I love my Samsung with Android. It has never failed me. Maybe you got a defective phone or something??
very few people that i know were able to go from iphone to android. It's just too different for them. I assumed that's what happned here.
Nah. It wasn't difficult or too different. Part of my degree is in computer science. I've worked across many platforms over the years. Android is just glitchy as fuck. I find most software that Google develops to be absolute shit. Google Maps is about the only reliable app they have. And I will say it's inherently better than Apple Maps. I'll give credit where it's due, but it isn't due for Android.
My phone was a Galaxy S3. It completely died. Had it 2 1/2 years. I tried everything. Couldn't even get it to boot into recovery or download modes.
But I have a 7-going-on-8 year old iPhone 3G that still works like a charm. Granted, it's basically an iPod touch now, since cellular protocols have long since surpassed its telephony capabilties, but it charges, holds battery life, and operates like the day I got it. And that's on iOS 4; smooth as butter.
As for the Samsung.. It will make a nice clay pigeon the next time I take the Mossberg out.

I would throw this down my gullet any time after cocktails and a run around NYC (esp in an Irish Pub). Put beans on my plate any other time EVER and I would not eat anything on it. Bangers and Mash (even with beans) after 3 am is like heaven! Kinda reminds me of Train Spotting...early in the morning, having breakfast with the parents....Spud!!!!! LOL....
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

That happened to my nexus s. annoyed the piss out of me but I'd already had it for a few years so someone bought me a galaxy to replace it. Birthday or Christmas or something. and fwiw, I didn't mean to imply that it's got something to do with tech savviness or ability or intelligence or any of that crap. The platforms are just so different (though less so now) that it's like a mindfuck to switch. Put an iphone in my hand I'm literally useless. My friend has one and wanted me to do something while she was driving - I might as well have been a plumber sent to fix a chimney.
It's funny to see the Samsungs get recommended. I'm actually thinking of jumping off Samsung next phone. I got the S5 recently cuz Sprint really wanted to give me a new phone for free so I figured I'd let 'em. I don't get the hype. I don't have the time at the moment to devote to rooting and screwing around with mods so I just tossed all the bloat into a subfolder. I really, really, really hate the bloat, though.

I have no glitch problems at all with it and find the apps to work well and be reliable, so really have to disagree, though I don't know how the experiences are so different! Although I started wth a Nexus S and then straight to a Galaxy S5. Both great. Maybe it was just the GS3 that sucked....

That could very well be. I know a few other people that have or had S3's, and we've all had issues. Regardless, I've never had much luck with any Samsung electronics - TV's, hard drives, phones... everything I've ever bought from them has died well before it should.

And thank you!
Just a little reminder of all the what abouts

Those that can be trusted can change their mind.
I like beans. All kinds!
Toast, you got my vote.
I'm not sure of the two together though.
Now...spice up / enhance the beans, change up the bread/toast? We could come to a happy, belly-rubbing middle-ground.

Apple pie, maybe now and then.

Anyway to each their own. Glad we aren't all the same.

But no runny whites.

Seriously would pay ten bucks for an Egg McMuff delivered right NOW.
