My dad was trying to get a grooming appointment for his cat something that should take all of 5 minutes over the phone, checking a calendar and penciling it it, but no gotta do it through a web portal then an app, and make sure you put in your credit card number!

ofc my dad got more and more angry as even I was messing around with this crap going over fields over and over because I put in the wrong number, ugh. Bring back simple shit please.

My fave are parking meter apps. Every town uses a fucking different one, and when the fuck else do I use parking meters besides when I'm visiting a place? If I live there I usually have the ability to find free parking. So every fucking town I go to I have to download another app, which I use once, and I have to put in my debit card info which is annoying. Keeping a bag of quarters in my glove box was way easier.
