I’ve definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is “smart” nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn’t require any of that before.

What’s some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

      My pharmacy recently told me I HAD to get their app in order to get my prescription, despite the fact I could just hand them the paper copy up until a few weeks ago.

        Sounds illegal/miscommunicated. Even the biggest pharmacy chains dont require an app.

          Man I wish, I kicked up a stink about it at the pharmacy and even phoned the doctors office just to be told the same thing.

          I live in the UK if that’s any context.

      I don’t mind the app, I paid extra for it in most cases… it’s the forced login that bugs…

        Not specific products, specific things. You can easily get all of those things that dont need an app.
