Annoyances

I work in IT. Beware the warth of the network administrator, for he is quick to anger, and delights in disabling your network account!I have a large group of people here who can't seem to hit the power button on anything electronic without me. At least ten times over the past month I have been called down to a meeting, and pushed the power button on the projector.People who can't spit out what they're talking about. You don't have to use the technical terms. You don't even know what they are. You'll only confuse me if you call your network drive your hard drive. Just say it the way you understand it, and I'll get it, too.I am here because I get paid to be here. I am not your home computer tech, and I won't come to your house on my own time for $10 to get rid of the virus you downloaded while watching pr0n. Don't bug me with your home PC problems.If I tell you not to install something, don't install it. I know more than you do about computers. Just because you can use it for 30 days doesn;t mean we have a license for the software. Yes, I know you need it. Take it up with your manager and make them BUY it. Until then, if you keep reinstalling the software so you can use it for another 30 days without paying, you're just breaking license agreements and will get us sued.Please do not write your password down on a post-it attached to your monitor, plainly labelled "password" with your username written above it. Post-its like this actually say "Look, an idiot sits here!"If your computer is infested with roaches because you're a filthy bastard, I'm not touching it. (Yes, this actually happened several times when I worked retail computer repair)If you spill water into the power supply, we aren't paying for the repair. We WILL watch the pretty sparks and laugh at you. (Again, actually happened) Yes, we know it was "only water." I'm sure you know what happens if you drop an electric device into the bathtub.But my biggest pet peeve is people who think they know what they are talking about with computers when they haven't the faintest clue. Honestly, if you knew how to fix it, why did you call me over? I could've stayed in the computer room, browsing EvC! Obviously you don't know what to do, or you wouldn't have called me! Now shut up and let me fix the problem!

Heh."u r 73h 5u|Somehow, making people's eyes bleed is "cool." On a similar note, how about the percentage of American's who didn't pay any attention at all in science class in highschool? Every time a fundy breaks the laws of thermodynamics, Isaac Newton kills a kitten.

LOLOkay, that's better than mine. Mind if I sig that one?

Done!

Okay, I've got another annoyance to add.Ann Coulter.Here's a quote, taken from Tal's sig: Ann Coulter is absolutely 100% batsh!t insane. I listen to right-wing and left-wing talk radio, I read political websites, and generally try to understand everybody's views. Both sides have some representatives with a few screws loose, or who are just basically dishonest, but Ann Coulter is the craziest nutso I've seen gain actual attention. Yeah, there are worse (Fred Phelps picketing the funerals of gay soldiers, etc), but she actually gets media time.Nothing on you, Tal, and I don't know your reasons for putting this quote in your sig (maybe you find her as nutso as I do and want to mock her, or maybe you even agree, I dunno), but every time I see it I get all pissed off.
