Pet Peeves. - List them.

All my current grievances are well documented and are getting taken care of.

One of mine is where you are in a hurry and try to tear off a run of toilet paper or a couple of paper towels, but instead of tearing it, you just unroll another 15 feet at warp speed. This often involves the said paper product ruining itself in the toilet or sink.

Movies that use fake "film" effects, including, but not limited to: film out of frame (bottom half of one frame above, top half of next below,) scratches, jittery picture. Also, unexplained and drastic changes in plot and setting at splices (makes you wonder if the print was put together in the right order.)

Web sites that use full-blown Java for NO DAMN REASON. Nothing makes me want to put a fist through my monitor more than waiting for the damn Java client to fire up when just web browsing.

[edit] Found a way to fix the slow loading of Java applets: clear the applet cache. I also turned it off, the cache was slowing the loading of applets down more than the actual download speed would have ever been. [/edit]

Women comedians. They just aren't funny.

Religious nut job that thinks the world is going to end this summer. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. It better not. I have to see Serenity.

Just in case you were wondering, no I am not kidding.

Incidentally, not too long after he was no longer working where I do anymore for various reasons that even I did not know at the time.

I'm amazed we made it this far.

The politically correct a$$h**es that run most school systems these days.

The other day some kid here was suspended for 5 days because his bicycle, one of the new West Coast Chopper bikes, had a medallion on the handlebar bracket with decals of 6 bullets around its edge. The effect was that of looking at the back end of a revolver cylinder.

They nailed him for bringing a simulated firearm to school

In another incident a 6-7 year old brought one of those 2" plastic soldier toys to school that had either a little rifle or sidearm in his hand.

Same thing: brought a simulated firearm to school. Out for 5 days.

So....while these kids get suspended several kids who are tearing up the school and other kids get sent to the IR (intervention room) for cooling off, then get sent back to class so they can continue terrorizing the other kids.

Sheeshhh.....

Dealing with software vendors that cannot deliver what was promised and cannot properly implement their own software! Cannot properly import information and send it to its proper locations! Cannot properly sync information between their software and another as is one of it's main selling points! They over complicate the syncing procedure by requiring manual reports to be imported into their system and the supposed "release candidate" sync agent is actually considered BETA internally and it must be set up for each L.O. separately even though we have over a dozen and climbing and other similar software is much more centralized and easier to maintain. Lies, incompetance, frustration and more damn lies. And I have to swoop in and save the ****ing shitty damn day.

My parents' Dell PC that can't find drivers for its Sony Combo Drive, so the drive isn't working at all, so the PC doesn't have a CD-ROM drive. BTW, I can boot from the drive, run Dell's system test CD (the drive is fine), and I have already reinstalled XP on top of itself (I honestly don't know how all those modern error recovery thingies work. In my day, we formatted. Uphill, both ways!)

Holy resurection! I would say earlier AMD64 boards without a PCI/AGP lock!

My biggest as of late has to do with zealots. Any old zealot will do, but Religious Believers and Atheists have ranked the highest recently.

Oh and then there's when someone tries to make you feel better about your situation by saying how bad their own or someone else's is. It comes off as a dismissal of your feelings and often doesn't even relate given their situation is still better.

Yeah, I know how you feel. Last year I ate a jelly donut when I thought it was cream filled.

[Jessterw]

Damn those jelly donuts. We should just make PB&J sandwiches with them

mmmmm ... PB&J

My pet peeve: Clients who call in a trouble ticket, escalate the issue, leave you three voicemails and send 2 emails, and then vanish for 6 hours. And then get pissed because it took you so long.

$#@*ing clients.
