Things that really piss you off
-
If theyre not reading the emails id ask them to uninstall it (eblaster.) Its only a risk to your safety it sitting there sending info about your internet habits flying around the web

Im feeling in a bit of a ranting mood today, not to detract form the point though:
Verified by visa. Whats wrong with the current process? all verified does is add more complexity and another password to the convoluted list of crap you have to remember to do anything online.

This has whole heartedly wound me up;
I've just got the palm treo 500v phone running Windows Mobile 6 Standard. It's like having Vista on a phone! It really is. This is not a good thing. Total crap actually.
The handset is lovely, similar to a blackberry, but it's totally let down by the o.s. It's supposed to run third party apps, so far it hasn't. I just get vista-like security warnings and error messages and it's the same on the internet. The o.s. has so many shortcomings that Palm even include some of the workarounds in the manual! It's laughable that a seemingly good device is so limited because of a botched, lazily put together o.s.
When I told the salesperson in the phone shop that this phone doesn't do what is claimed I was told "Well the technology isn't really there yet, you can't expect too much.....". I told her she had mis-sold me this phone as it struggles to run third party apps but she said she hadn't as I can download games for it. Aargh!!! -
What's pissing me off right now?
A former employee who was terminated for beating up a coworker at the job site who has now filed a discrimination claim against the company.
I am totally pissed at the former employee for abusing a system that was created to protect people who have truly been discriminated against.
This was a vicious, one-sided attack, not a fight. I have a confession from the employee (who says she lost control), witnesses and the police report from the incident. There was no discrimination.
And for the 5 minutes it took this former employee to fill out one simple form, it is costing my company hours to respond to all the questions the EEOC asks. The former employee does not need to furnish any proof or answer any more questions. The company is considered guilty until it proves itself innocent.

I got one. But I deplore the thing - I usually keep it turned off. Them 'ring tones' are bleedin' annoying. People -friends, family- often complain they can't reach me. When and where did we lose the right to be incomunicado? And, especially, the ability to appreciate that blessed state of splendid isolation?
Has anyone noticed, btw, that most cell phone conversations are about where the people talking are?
-
People who use CELL PHONES and want to make it at point to others that they have them or endanger the lives others around them!
If they didn't have their hand to their head, have a Dr. Spock ear thinging, or "Brittany Spears" headset and it was a few years ago, before the time of cells, those people who be labled as stark raving mad .... walking around talking to themselves.
Someday, somewhere, I will loose it. When the ass in front of me at the grocery store checkout drives me to butt in on their conversation with a string of four letter words. Hell, if they want me to hear every stupid trivial part of their conversation it must be an invitation to include me in it. (But of course, when I do, they'll probably be some bloody Kung-foo blackbelt and make me regret I was born.)
I can't figure out if they just totally lack manners or are so insecure they'll do anything to get attention.
And how hard is it to figure what needs to be said. Just about everyday I get phone calls from someone 2 to 3 times within the same hour ... if they weren't my relatives I'd go postal on them.
There ought to be law that you can only receive calls on your cell not make them ... or should it be the other way around.
I admit they can be very useful but I still haven't got one ... just because it will probably aggrevate all things that piss me off about them.

This is pretty UK centered one:
people referring to the labour party as 'nulab.' Its 5 extra letters, surely its not too hard to type that, and you even get the bonus of not sounding like a sheep complaining about how corrupt everything is and how the market is ruled by the corporations and how the average working class have it so hard.
And that reminds me, i really hate people who think the media in the UK is biased. Go to Zimbabwe.

I was just reminded of an old gripe that still pisses me off.
The inability of ms word to do A3 documents. A fairly standard piece of paper i thought, but obviously not in the eyes of ms.

What the HELL are you talking about. This is supported since the 2000 version if I'm not mistaken.
*edit
some Googling later... seems that older versions [older than 2007] will not do A3 format if there isn't such a printer installed [problem is easy to solve, just install a driver of any A3 printer and the option will be available]]
-
Well there is certainly no option for A3 in my copy of word, perhaps its not standard? still really annoying anyway...
-
I have office 2007 and did a layout (A3) in word the other day. I guess you must be missing something. You could always specify a custom page size and make that A3 size...
-
Could do, but its still pretty annoying.

People who feel superior just by having traveled more. Surely its what you do while you are there that matters?

Entropy!
On a mundane level that is. You work and slave and put your last dime into making your home (or outfits or hair or whatever you want as the subject here) just so. Having spent all that money and all that elbow grease you finally arrive at the state where you think you are done and you can now relaxa and...:
- Weeds push themselves between the joins in your stone walkway
- The paint chips off on the mouldings where it is touched by a vacuum
- Parts of your fridge break off.
- You get stains on your couch and carpet.
- All things wear out and break and you have to start spending and fixing and replacing all over again. Totally pisses me off.
