my pet hate of the moment is the F-Secure ssh client for windows. to paraphrase Kez, it's dire. It trancends dire. everything about it is wrong.

I also hate dogs, biking in cold rain, trains and people who offload work on me without as much as a by-your-leave. but right now it's the doze ssh client. that's the worst. yeah. do tell me there are others. we could make a hate-club! lets band together, find happy people...and kill them!!

my pet hate currently is a group of people in one of the outer offices who dont understand simple things like:

"dont plug in the cheese toastie maker, it blows the power to the building"

worst had to be the following problem, talking them through checking the router and ensuring the orange cable was connected... remote network troubleshooting is so fun! :rolleyes:

<fool on other side of phone>"but i dont like the orange cable, its offencive!"
<me> "hows a network cable offencive?"
<fool> "its sectarian"
<me> "its a network cable, its not whistling the sash or waving bunting about.. plug the cable in or you dont get onto the system"
<fool> "how come every other cables green except for that one then?"
<me> "for quick co-ordination checks for us when we visit"
<fool> "but you never come down to visit"
<me> "we never need to visit because nothings broken"
<fool> "but this is broken!"
<me> "its not broken, you just wont plug in the cable"
<fool> "Because its sectarian"
<me> "if we replaced the orange cable with a blue one, would you be offended"
<fool> "no"
<me> "whys that?"
<fool> "its only a cable"
(this is the point where i realise its hopeless to try and talk sense into the user, and commence to delete all their e-mail in a fit of anger-induced rage)

i just hope i dont have to go do an on-site fix now, and try to explain where their mail went :uhoh:

i suspect most people wont understand this fully tho, the fool was catholic and didnt like anything to do with the colour orange due to its links with protestants in northern ireland.

im sure my days going to get worse in a bit :(

I also hate NT4. sadly I'm forced to use it. even the most simple of complex operations are beyond it's sheer shiteness :/ as soon as I do anything that remotely taxes the system everything goes into "not responding" phase and I may as well walk down to the server room and code the files in by hand :/

At the moment my pet peeve has got to be people that send text messages that are spelt in some funky leet speak.

Why can't you just put "Hi, how are you? Do you fancy a drink?"

Rather than what I constantly get with is, "r u rite m8. Wanna drink. gr8 thanx."

Argghhh!!! It really get's on my tits. With predictive texting it must actaully take longer to type in a mesage that you can't fucking read that to type in a sentance in proper English.

I understand that in the old days of mobiles, the amount of letters in a text was limited, but even my old, old phone lets me send at least 600 characters in one text.

Leave the past alone children. It's dark and evil and contains Hitler!

Well for a start not everyone uses predictive text, the point of using "txt speak" is that you can say more and stay within the 160 character allowence.

People who stand at the front of the bus even though there are seats available.

People who complain that they've been 'waiting for 10 minutes' when they've barely been waiting 5mins.

People who are really nasty to you one minute and then afterwards apologise saying ' you know how it is'.

People who assume because you are serving them 'you are paid to take abuse'. NO WE'RE FUCKING NOT.

People who overtake my bike then stop at a red light 30 metres later. I just have to overtake you again.

Customers.

People who drive with their foglights on because they think it looks cool.

Yeah its good to do what I do now, get shit from upstairs and piss from down below :(


Oh and another thing I hate is people lying to me, someone wanted the next morning of to bring his mother to the hospital, okay I thought caus having a mother in the hospital is crap. He didn't show up the afternoon so we gave him a call, a woman answers and we asked if he was back from the hospital, she asks (scared) "he is in the hospital what is wrong with my son?" ......ermmm he said he took you to the hospital :rolleyes:

Actually, one of my pet hates is on the internet.

One word answers such as abbreviating "Laugh Out Loud" for lol. I wish "net speak" would contract every form of disease on the face of the planet and fuck off.

Oh and i despise the rolleyes smiley.

Real life ones i can't think of on the top of my head, but some that have been said already i agree with. :)

thankfully i didnt have to do an on-site visit (this chairs extremely comfy today with my coffee mug in close reach) as the office "manager" plugged the cable in some time after the phone incident to get his e-mail, but the place is still on my "pet hate" list.
wonder how long until he notices his missing e-mails ;)

I hate lotus notes, and trying to link it to Exchange 5.5 servers to "communicate flawlessly"

i also despise Exchange 2000's inability to show the information you need at the best of times, and its uncanny place of sticking information deep within the bowels of the global address list for users and their mailboxes.
(if you hide the address from the global address list, how the f*** are you supposed to do other stuff on it at a later date! especially when its not listed on any more searches :eek: )

The cost of coffee in Clements, what the heck do they add to it to make it so freaking expensive!?!

also when your starving, and you smell the freshly cooked bread at the dairy cabinet in the supermarket, sudden urge for sandwiches using a fresh baguette! :eek6:

I sometimes suspect coders doing this on purpose. In fact, I don't suspect at all. There are secret coder's meetings where they dream up ways to hide information the sysadmin needs for his day-to-day work, and then instruct marketing drones how to describe the product without giving any vital information away.
