I hate when I log into MR and have 8 or 10 thread titles in bold (unread), I click on each of them, read the new posts, and close the browser only to come back 30-45min later, login, and have those same threads bolded once again when no new posts have been made since! Sometimes this happens 2-3 times per thread. Very irritating when I am waiting for a response from someone and I keep getting tricked into thinking there is a new post.
Oh, and I also hate how when you post something, the thread title is bolded to let you know a new post was made... yours! This also bugs me because then I have to go back into the thread so that it won't be bold, that way I'll know right away when someone else actually does post... so I check 15min later and it's bold! Yay...! Wait... seems the latest post was MINE! WTF!

1. People who respond to your 83 word email with one word.
2. People who respond to your 83 word email with bad grammar, no punctuation, and one word.
3. People who respond to your 83 word email one week later with bad grammar, no punctuation, and one word.
4. People who buy a $2500 laptop, a Dell none-the-less, that takes one week to respond to your 83 word email one week later with bad grammar, punctuation, and one word.
5. People who brag about buying a $2500 that "can do so much more than your iBook from one year ago" that takes one week to respond to your 83 word email one week later with bad grammar, bad punctuation, and one word.
Also,
6. Grandparents, or people in general, who look over my shoulder to see what I'm doing. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
7. People snooping around on my Mac when I let them on.
8. Hotmail.
9. Free email providers who put ads in your email.

After reading this thread, there seems to be a consensus we all hate other people touching our Macs. I won't let anyone touch any part of my Macs (I have done so to this day).
1. touching my computer with sweaty, greasy, and/or dirty hands
2. IT dept who tries to take away my Admin privileges on my work PC (I crack the code in a few days; so I can manage that one if they do it again).
3. hard drive always seems getting smaller every day, however larger that hard drive is.

1. Poeple treating computer like crap
1.A like a dirty desk and not being organized
2. Poeple and the LCD thing gets me as bad as the desk thing but I hate sitting down at a desk thats all messy and trying to use a computer is worse.
3. Micro$oft and there stupid OS's, its just frustrating to use a windows PC once you have used a mac.

- Self-styled computer experts
- People who claim that people are experts even though they didn't create the technology and only abuse it to their own advantage
- People who spend more than 5 minutes of their work day browsing the internet and call technical support when they do something that isn't work related.
Okay, I have one I HAVE to add:
1. People who im me right when I'm not idle anymore. It's creepy if I still have an away message. If I take it off, sure, im away! Just don't im me while I'm away. Even if I'm idle. If I'm not iming YOU I probabbbly don't want to talk to you. And it's really scary that people notice when I'm no longer idle, in my opinion.
