You know what really grinds my gears?

[AZOffaly]

It's not mine - just something I found in a piece about intelligent simplicity vs. dumb complexity. The same piece also asked how does it make sense to shut down your PC by clicking a button called "Start" and other good stuff.

It's a bit out of date so. That's now the 'Windows' Button. But I take your point. Sometimes less is more.

[Hardy]

Yes, except that that's worse - it has no name, just a picture that's supposed to be a window, from which you're supposed to deduce that this is the "Windows" button, as if you should know that the "Windows" button is where you should go when you want to stop the fecker. And when you do put your mouse over it, what comes up? "Start".

You know where you have an irritating cough and you're in a really important meeting with new clients, and all you can think about is how not to cough, and then that brings on a reall desire to cough and then they think you're about to die?

Yeah that just happened.  I hate it.

Microsoft Word with all the toolbars open

Getting used to one form of Microsoft word, then using another computer and thinking O f**k, I can't even find the open new blank page.

People who rabbit on about Tipp winning an easy AllIreland in 1989. They beat Galway and Antrim to win that AllIreland, the same counties Cork beat in 86 and 90, and Kilkenny in 93.

When you go to the barbers and get your hair cut by the surly owner as opposed to the hot east european chick working there. Even worse when your halfarsed calculations  made while waiting reckon that she will be the one you get.
