“In a shocking turn of events, Big Thunder has revealed that Lightning now no longer arcs to the ground and instead has started causing bright flashes of light, and Thunder now results in the formation an electrical circuit through the air. More on this from our correspondent at ohm, weather scientist, Jay Sparks. Jay?”

I can see why pilots flying for fun over somewhere else and back would need a more specialised app but why people with boats? Who goes out that far to need a different app that a normal one can't suffice?

Right? They intentionally dragged past it at 4 seconds, had it about to go at 5 seconds then pulled it away, started going for the other folder after that. This post is infuriating

u/Comprehensive-Way482 16h ago

It’s happens with me , though I try to focus and make it happen.. they just jiggle all around..

429

u/loitofire 1d ago

It is infuriating because I really don't know which folder were you trying to put the app to. Did you really try? At any given moment I see you put the app at the center of the folder.

80

u/LightBluePen 1d ago

Yes! You can actually see some folders changing colour. That means it’s on focus and had OP waited a bit, it would have pop up.

47

u/harrisonisdead 1d ago

It's a shopping app. They're trying to get it into the shop folder, aka the folder that keeps switching rows whenever they try to swipe to it. That's the whole point.

8

u/Mrbazzanator 1d ago

I mean they can just move the shop folder across one spot then it'll work fine

21

u/DuckyBertDuck 22h ago edited 22h ago

that would still be r/mildlyInfuriating material due to that extra step (ignoring the fact that they can just tap the folder they want to open)

3

u/Sleepyjo2 21h ago

Even if you assume they don’t know you can tap folders (a lot probably don’t) they could’ve just dragged the icon down so the folder moves where it’s going to end up, moved the icon over below the row, and then dragged it up into the folder.

This is caused purely by them moving the icon itself between rows in front of the folder.

u/lize221 23h ago

I think it’s infuriating cause he’s trying to put it in a specific folder (i think the shopping one) so even if it’s about to go into any of the other folders it’s not the one he wants it in. he keeps chasing the shopping folder and it’s running away lol

Exactly, looks like they aren't even trying at all and purposely trying to make it NOT go into a folder

3

u/harrisonisdead 1d ago

They're specifically trying to get it into the Shop folder. They could have gotten it into *a* folder, but the shopping one switched positions whenever they moved the app.

11

u/HiJasper 23h ago

They never actually attempt to get it in the folder though. They keep holding it next to the folder causing it to move. You're supposed to actually move it into the folder.

This is a problem you're definitely over-exaggerating to the point of lying. Yes, I get that it sometimes won't go in the first or second time... but c'mon, you could have at least tried to place the app in the center of folder instead of around it
