Stuff that REALLY annoys you.

This is rather annoying.

This is rather annoying.

I just got that too - in the Hitting Refresh thread after posting...



Maybe the threads grown too big?

EDIT:
Nope! - Because I just got it after posting THIS message too...

Well it's not really the cubicle thing I find annoying as such, it's going into the cubicle and finding piss on the seat, it's just you know that it's those who use the cubicle for pissing do it.

Ahh... in that case you mean ignorant pissed-up people. I hate that too. And FFS the hole's about 2ft wide, how difficult is it to aim?



Another one... Internet Explorer 7, or Microsoft's latest "protect you from yourself" mentality. I wouldn't mind, most lusers *do* need protecting from themselves, but how difficult would it be to build in an easily accessible "I am not a retard" switch to IE7 and Vista?

People using in ear headphones on the train with the volume up high enough for everyone to listen.

The same people listening to early Kylie.

For one, the biggest retards would be the first to click it. Access to advanced and potentially dangerous configuration options MUST be obfuscated, else you're creating a nightmare for your support staff.

True....

How about HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
DWORD: IAmNotARetard = 00000001

Well enough hidden that the average user would not know it, in an area which will completely petrify the average user and is easy to protect in a work environment. But in a logical place for geeks to turn it off without turning it into a Linux-like 5 day exercise.

Pity windows isn't open source and that you cannot submit an official document to make the change.

It'll get worse in Vista, it believes very much in protecting yourself from yourself.

Well it's at work so not pissed.

But it's also human nature to sometimes accidentally piss on the seat that you couldn't be arsed lifting and again not be arsed to wipe it off, maybe the person who did it had a bad day.

That's why it pisses me off that folks urinate in the cubicle, I mean there's a urinal provided for the purpose isn't there.

I've had a few confrontations with people in there when peoepl use the cubicle for pissing and don't bother to flush. Of course when I mention the piss on the seat thing it's never them that does it is it! Always somebody else!!!

Yes even though you couldn't be arsed flushing the loo I definitely believe you when you tell me you always lift the seat up and always wipe up your piss if you should ever accidentally miss!!

[Cloudane]

Everyone accidentally misses from time to time, but yes I always flush, always lift the seat and always clean up after any mistakes no matter how bad the day is.

It's just common courtesy - your gripe is against ignorant lazy people (who use "human nature" as an excuse!)

Not obscure enough...

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\is\retarded

[Cloudane]

That works

Oh, and I've been running Vista RC1 for a good few months, that's partly where my rant stems from.. it's pretty and a nice improvement in general over XP, but the protection features are insane.

My main complaint though is at work where the IE7 security features interfere with the Novell login scripts, causing "my computer" to sit waving its torch until doomsday, forcing me to uninstall IE7 (because the IT manager won't let me do what I *really* want to do and get rid of that horrible archaic Novell software). I'm a web developer and kinda need IE7 for testing so it's a pain in the arse.
