Hehe got some time today to be able to be on the computer so I decided to post and see what you guys think.


What do you think is the number one thing that annoys you the most?

Me...? Hmm...


I dunno, Either when people talk about computers and they clearly have no clue what in the world they are saying. Or...
When thier trying to help they always take drastic mesures such as, " My sound cards not working what do I do? " " Buy a new computer"
Sharonsthere
do you mean things that have to do with computers? because the number one thing for me is Microsoft. Period. I am not grateful to them, I do not endorse anything they put their name on.
Of course, I have a pc. and I run Windows xp. That could be the problem. whistling.gif

Now, outside of computers: TV shows about the lives of the stars. They make me want to throw bleach in my own eyes for even glancing at them!

for me, with computers... it is spam mail, but also people who act really immature on forums. It can get annoying sometimes.

not with computers... my ex-girlfriend's voice... god, why did i ever...?
xXAlphaXx
No, just in general.

Computers are my thing so it naturally annoys me when people have no idea what thier talking about.

"The processor latches onto the hard drive"

Yeah right. Good luck with that.
smurfgod
my present girlfriends voice!
Na, really i'd have to say either going to work or the "I just pwned ur @** newb" kids infecting every FPS i've tried.

on a sidenote maybe harddrives don't make such good CPU sockets, but they're pretty wicked lil frisbees
Sharonsthere
So... do processors not latch onto hard drives?

Well, you weren't born a computer genius. It's all learning until we understand laugh.gif Heck I remember that December 2007 I had no idea what a firewall is.

What makes me in beserk mode is... watching those weird "PG" literature movies like Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Odessey, etc. movies where I need to look away from the screen multiple times due to... "suggestive" scenes. I hate romance. :S Kinda stupid, but still.

I echo Sharonsthere... do processors latch onto hard drives? XD Hardware is not my thing.

Like what annoys me, you know, is like you know people who like you know use like and you know every other word. Especially when I see an interview with someone and the person answers with you know 100 times. If I were interviewing that person, I would have to yell at him or her NO YOU IDIOT, I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S WHY I ASKED!!!!!

One of... of of... the... the general things that annoys me the... the most is when people... speak haltingly (deliberately) and... and... then do it excessively to... to... make their speech sound more important than it... it... it is.

I just can't stand it!

One of my big gripes are the intellectual giants that when asked to speak their mind have to resort to a mime routine. w00t.gif

Yeah yeah yeah... I know I wasn't born a genis, Still aren't one now... But I alwyas kept my lips shut when it wasn't anything I knew.

Haha Processors go into the socket onto the motherboard.

The arrhythmic clickity-clacking accompanied with high-pitched (almost out of human hearing range) squeaking of computer keys, even of a single computer, in computer labs, classrooms, the library etc. drives me insane.

Gah, the refrigerator is making its whistling squeak now.

Isn't that the core mission of BP, to help us ignorant computer users? smile.gif

FYI I'm not the one who posted the HJT log.
KoanYorel
You misread my post above. I said "within an hour or two of posting."

Now that you've given me the reason to expand, I'll say that all malware forums are inundated with similar posts asking for help.
Everyone needs help - and right now - immediately!!! Excuses abound as to why they should be helped first off.

Many don't understand, or appreciate the knowledge, training, and continuing study and daily work it takes to accomplish this help.

All working here are volunteers and have other lives also.

If you can't wait for help - then pay a PRO. My local Tech charges $85 USD per hour for the simple things. And he's inexpensive.

//Aside: It's the BC and my response was not directed to any individual. I do such via a PM only.


skyfuser
Yep, at first I thought "Why isn't them BLEEPING BC people helping me out with my BLEEPING problem?!? BLEEP!!"
Now that I look at it, I completely ever regret thinking that. It takes forever.

Another thing that bothers me: People who are actually cheeky enough to be rude to other people for trying to help on any forum. Maybe a little thanks now and then? dry.gif
DSTM
What annoys me, is when seeking information about a PC problem,you stress you are a beginner,and some Techies come back with such Geek terms,I wouldn't have a clue what the term means. mad.gif
Also giving instructions,that most beginners wouldn't have a hope of carrying out.
EG.Go into the Bios, and do such and such,and go into the Registry, and do such and such. DIR. w00t.gif
Techies do a wonderful job, helping us,just wish sometimes they would give plain English, step by step instructions. thumbup2.gif

The most annoying thing is when your sitting in class, and students from another class come in to use the computers. Everyone at my school is fascinated by the sound "StickeyKey" makes (pressing shift 5 times). I don't see what the big deal is. Someone will press it and everyone thinks its the funniest thing ever. I'm in high school by the way, not elementary school if you got confused tongue.gif .

Lol. I think you can disable that. I did for mine.

Hello.

Billy O'Neal
Hello all: Formula to make Bill angry:
1. Be a user
2. Start a conversation asking for computer help
3. Tell me you don't know the first thing about computers
4. Ask question
5. Get answer
6. Spend 10 minutes trying to persuade me I'm wrong, because "Windows told me that winfixer was good". nono.gif
7. Be angry with me because I don't see it your way...

Oh my god! Those two things really grind my gears.

New hate:
People who steal your Hiptop (sidekick) when I haven't even owned it for a day!!!!!!!! Argh, that made me soooo mad. I WANT IT BACK (continues to rant)
Teenage.Zombiee
Something new thats really grinding my gears.

People who start multiple threads over the same stupid problem and who don't listen to the advice they were orginally given!!!!!!
These people don't need computer help they need mental help.
