What cheeses me off

Couldn't find the "what cheeses me off "thread.
But, late last night I was trying to clean up my email boxes and blocking spam folders.

I was then deleting some emails as Mr Ellen10 says I hold on to too many. So I went into my deleted folder and then instead of cleaning it out, I blocked senders for a big block of emails. :oops:
So now I don't get any emails from my regular senders, including AFF.

So I googled how to unblock. My mail in hotmail/outlook. So I have just unblocked those that I can deem legit (there is a lot of cough in there). It took me over an hour to copy and paste them into safe senders.

I even blocked Mr Ellen10's emails :D I did unblock him 🤭

So now I guess I wait and see if they come back. I did get Mr Ellen10 to send me an email and it did come through.
Hopefully those emails I did come to get come back.

What a mess I created!
 
MEL Int arrivals yesterday. I've often found it a much better experience than SYD but yesterday was my worst arrivals experience since 1976 into MCT! Arrived on QF38 and the corridors were packed, the queues for machines were 50-60 deep. I took a punt and skipped them, bought some duty free and went for the 4 machines to the left of immigration gates (except 1 was not working). Queues 50 deep. With approx 1 minute per person to process you get the idea.
Once through immi and bag collected, customs queues were approx 200m long - incredibly slow. All up a really poor arrivals experience with plenty that can be done to improve pax flow.
If I compare and contrast MEL (or SYD) to YVR where they have redesigned the flow into a large hall filled with immigration machines - I've never been more than second in the queue. Even GVA, with the dreaded first time EES, only took 5 mins.
