What annoys you?

[Trucidation]

Annoyance: people who just type "HELP" rather than take a couple seconds to use an informative thread title.

I find winding down my windowscreen and yelling FUS RO DAH during traffic jams strangely cathartic.

800. Is that her chest size by any chance?

I think that's now the size of my pants...

I have one thing that annoys me the most
TELEMARKETERS

The same thing annoys me too even during my job.

People smearing CCleaner regularly in threads, saying it can mess up your Registry when there's never been a single case documented here or anywhere I've found. I've helped install it on hundreds of installs over 15 years representing thousands of uses and never had a single complaint.

CCleaner is the only "cleaner" program I will recommend always. There are other programs that work fine on my system, but CCleaner is the only one I trust to recommend to others. A Guy

I just had to add this.
1) What annoys me are people who think that the cloud is going to replace the pc (personal computer), Duh we will still need our PCs (phones, tablets, laptops or desktops) to access the cloud. When they say the PC is dead I think, oh great, I have to go to the library and access their PC (public computer) to access my data.
2) When people compare macs to windows based pcs as if macs aren’t pcs too. What macs aren’t personal computers? I doubt there is a different schedule b number for either of the two products.

If I were to use one it would be CCleaner but how many OP's would actually know how to use it and not damage their registry?

If they are asking they probably used one on XP or read somewhere else it should be done.
They have no clue to its use most likely.
Next stop Repair install or Reinstall.

Just because it is best does not mean it should be used by amateurs without directions at least.
How many will actually read them?

So I will continue to suggest not to use ANY registry cleaners on Windows 7.

The sales person put a ½ oz of "cutters choice" on the counter,
i say "thats cutters choice"
she says " yes i can read"
heckles up now i say " well you obviously cant hear because i asked for golden virginia"

the other sales girl started laughing and the eejit that was serving me sheepishly apologized.

Having to pay over $300 dollars for a school book that's a "must have" for class, then finding out at the end of the semester I can't sell it because they dropped that book & are now using another:sarc:

Sounds like an academic fund raising gimmick to me. It has been quite a while since my college days, but I never paid anywhere near that much for any text book, nor do I believe that any text book is worth that kind of price.

Yes, the books that I had to buy were overpriced in my mind, especially since none of the classes that I took were actually based on any of them. I never studied the books, just listened closely and kept good notes on the professors lectures, and I aced all of my classes.

having eye drops for my poorly eye, that after taking them makes everything taste salty for half an hour!

how that works eye dont know... get it?!?

What really ticks me off is all the back-ground music and sound effects they have in some of the documentaries I watch on TV. As an example, I like to watch a documentary called The Universe. But they have so much of the back-ground sound effect so loud that I have a hard time listening to what the moderator has to say. Does this bother anyone else?

Yeah, it really makes you wonder. Case & point, one of my classes last semester required a book that cost $152. During the entire course of the class, we were never asked once to bring in the book, or to even open it & look at a certain chapter. The thing literally sat in my hallway untouched for an entire semester. Fortunately, they're still using that book!

The expensive book I mentioned earlier was Euro lit, which was over 2,500 pages, but hey, at least we used that one! When my wife saw it she said "That's not a book, that's a booster seat."

(Damn thing was heavy too, I told my teacher I was going to get a doctors note stating I couldn't carry over 500 pages )

Seems like they should really be offering e-book versions by now, wouldn't weigh anything!

Though. In the end that'll still screw the students even more. 1) It'll still be stupidly expensive like all e-books and 2) Can't sell it back. :/

College textbooks are a way for professors to make more money. I've seen books that had a different version - with no significant changes made - every couple of years. It sells a lot of books.
