What annoys you?

[DeEmanon]

Things that have ears... Frighin' spawns of evil... With them flabby ears... Listening to things damn them...

 

[seavixen32]

Quite so, but there is a reason we've been given two ears and only one mouth, as my wife is very fond of telling me.

Annoys me when i try to help OP and from nowhere appear some new member with a ""great" ideas and solutions.

Hypothetical question, John: How many limbs you think you would lose if you ever even tried to ban Baroness?

"Limbs"? Is that Finnish for the you-know-what? :shock:

Having a kangaroo stare me down while I'm trying to take a bush dump. :huh:

You know what bugs me? It's not really an annoyance per se, more like wishful thinking on my part... When people

1. post a solution to a problem which works fine, but is unnecessarily complicated and/or relies on 3rd-party tools when all you need is already built into Windows... Example: using Linux bootdiscs and HDDErase and and and etc. etc. to wipe your harddisk clean when just booting the WinRE environment and using diskpart's clean all will do perfectly fine.
2. post a widely known solution to a (usually) simple issue, ignoring a better solution and not helping to propagate that better solution to eventually displace the currently accepted one... Example: Someone needs to shut down and restart explorer.exe, and they're told to kill the process using Task Manager and then start a new explorer.exe process. A much more elegant solution is to open the Start menu, rightclick inside the blank area while holding CTRL+SHIFT down and then simply select the newly appearing option "Exit Explorer" from the context menu. This closes Explorer properly instead of just aborting it. Either way works fine but this way is just so much nicer... Disclaimer: I'm definitely OCD and not exaggerating either

I'm just trying to picture Jaidyn with his trousers round his ankles as he tries to out-run (or should that be out-hop) an amorous kangaroo!

Where's someone with a video camera when you need them?

I totally agree with you, Corazon.

I would add this to your list: a newbie posting his first or second post, offering a one-liner like "Download the SuperUltimate Universal Windows Tweaker" in a thread where several senior members already have patiently talking a user through a process.

You should have followed it and watched it take a dump.


And then give it the old :haha: treatment

Also annoying - Only being 5,9 and 161lbs ...

Thanks Kari. And yeah...newbies posting about super-mega-ultimate-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink system cleaners and optimizers. Gawd.

Linux questions flooding SevenForums because their own forums apparently can't handle them.

This is not Linux forums. Win7 doesn't even like Linux much. Sorry.

 

[seavixen32]

Perhaps we should flood their forums with Windows 7 questions in retaliation.
