People at train stations that gather in crowds just outside the fucking doors, so that people trying to leave the train has to fight their way out.
You just know they'll try to get in before you have a chance get out, even though it would be impossible.
I don't like people who block escalators. The whole point of a moving walkway is to get to your destination quicker, not to stand there and shuffle along at half walking speed.
I particularly enjoy boarding escalators, and then turning to the side to watch folks dart past as if their life depended on it. (Not while I'm in the middle blocking the way, before you say it. Escaltor etiquette is important, yus.)
That's a thought... when did "technology" become "technologies"? I hate that word almost as much as "solutions"...
When Sid Meier said so, buddy.

Right up until 16 minutes ago, vectors and maths worked exactly the way I thought it did. Then, somebody had just made a change in the past which altered the way maths works. And I'm the only one who knows, because you're all used to it being that way.

I hate my short term memory that I seem to have developed, and the lack of real food in the 21st century.

I dislike the word "electricals". As in the way Comet or Curries or whoever it is babbles "We live electricals".

It makes no sodding sense!

I don't like those air freshener adverts either - especially the one with the kid on the bog who draws his mum a note and pokes it under the door. Just who are they selling this stuff to? Smelly people don't care, clean people don't smell.

The hair adverts are funny though. All the "pro-retinol B+ Microbead vitamin complex mineral scrub exfoliant botanical extracts" that they prattle on about :)

People who do not have strong enough of 'me' to not to follow other people.

Baa, must buy a Wii.

Baa, I am an individual me, bah.

People who do not have courage to stand against stupid and pointless faddish things.

People who think they are doing something ever so worthy when in fact they are just blindly following a trend rather than trying to work it out themselves if it is worth the effort or makes any sense whatsoever.

People. Give me the just weeding fork of the universe and I will thin out the people. I will be just and I will trust my judgement. We will all rejoice in the space of the new sunshine. We will flourish indeed.

At least the Wii is original - if you want to see people buying things for the sake of trends, try the PS3...

Which brings me to another one - Sony being arrogant pieces of filth who rape all of their fans!

Absolutely, I'm with you there. We should team up.

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004.

More specifically the stupid modal dialog box that pops up whenever I send a file to the FTP server.

Hit ctrl-s... wait ... wait more ... dialog gone, continue... nope! another modal dialog pops up ... wait ... ok now you may continue working.

Saving should not interrupt my workflow for 30 seconds while some mumbly old FTP server across the planet gets its act together. Do it as a progress meter at the bottom of the screen so I can carry on working!

And you may as well go for a pee if you tell it to refresh the site tree.

Might I also put in an entry for the File Transfer Protocol too? There's so much text that the clients and server throw at each other before file transfer can even start.

I will now continue debugging my ASP.NET code, DW might have woken up again by now...
