Dentist: Are you using a manual or electric toothbrush?

Well, I got an electric one as a gift, but the manual told me it has an app, so I haven't even charged it, for fear of it playing me ads for its own brand of toothpaste and mouth wash

Dentist: I'll just put manual then

@neil "No, I don’t want to rate your product, let alone your choice of courier. You took my money, now sod off and leave me alone."

Well said.
