Bad Things: Things I Never Want to Hear Again

Dave's house has a Ring doorbell. I never want to hear the noise that a Ring doorbell makes when someone is at your front door. 

I could do without the Amazon Alexa Bark routine. If Alexa hears a bark she plays peaceful music to calm your dog. Dave's dogs would start barking when they heard the Ring doorbell announce someone was at the door. They weren't calming down because of some music.

I don't want to hear a Ring doorbell tell me simeone is at the door at 9:30 at night. I want the Ring doorbell to tell those people to fuck off. Well, no. Those were the medical supply people. There was also an AA person, and it's important they have access to each other at all times.

I don't want to hear Dave's phone ding again with another person who doesn't know he's dead.

I don;t want to hear my phone ding again with another message that I've used up all the cellular data on my plan and they'll happily charge me fifteen dollars and hey, I might want to check out this thing out there called "wireless." The wireless at Dave's was strong, but the password he gave me was wrong. I would have looked to see if the password was written on the router, but even after the AA folks disconnected all the computers (to protect me from Dave's meticulously curated porn collection), the wireless was still broadcasting from God knows where. In the attic? On the roof? Did he wall it up? Still don't know.

Ooooof.

I'm glad the porn was someone else's job, though.

Now I'm wondering if someone could reprogram the Ring doorbell to be a sound dogs hide from, like thunder, or vacuum cleaners, or the carrier that they're transported to the vet in, or something...

Incidentally, something I am deeply thankful for whenever I'm working on my dad's computer or my spouse's computer: NO PORN. I absolutely love it.

I sometimes find out more about my dad's gullibility and about his political activities than I want to know when working on his computer, but at least NO PORN!

KC - Yeah, I didn't look at the PCs, but one old-school non-digital photograph showed up. Oddly, it wasn't a Polaroid. I can't imagine how it got developed.

Some drugstore film employee, probably. They used to see a... lot. Sorry you also had to see it!

KC - I didn't see it for long. Into the trash immediately.
