Oh yes, finally a vent post! :-) You asked for it.

- "Feedback meetings". The phrase needs to be officially submitted as the definition of "oxymoron".
- People who have "strategy" in their job titles.
- The suggestion that the time that it takes for someone to create a "Hello World!" sample in your shiny new technology has no impact on its adoption.
- The terms, "social media", "above the fold", and "value proposition".
- When people suggest that I tweet on behalf of my dog, "@yoweim":http://www.twitter.com/yoweim. That''s just racist.

I had to bleep out the others. Ah, that felt good :)

People on dial-up asking you to come over and help them download and install an app.

OK, I just remembered one more that I had to get out...

- Designers who don''t understand the basics of image compression but still feel empowered to yell about it and blame others for their ignorance. "No, really, the artifacts were not caused because I gave you a jpeg. They were caused because you chose to convert my jpeg to a png-8."

I''m sure the flame emails will begin arriving in a few moments, so I''ll stop now.

-Designers who flatten the PSD before they send it to me for HTMLification.

-Diet Red Bull

-People who send Instant Messages about QA issues rather than use the actual bug tracking system.

-People who think CSS3 is an accepted standard.

-Rails Developers who act like hot stuff after they show me features that have been in other lanugages for years.

-We still use a floppy disk as the official save icon even though nobody''s used a friggin floppy for nearly a decade.

Lists of things I think are good or bad and which other people should feel good or bad about themselves about themselves or at least misinformed if they don''t agree:
1. item 1
2. item 2
3. item 3
4. item 4

Have to put my 2c in...

- People who make websites and can''t even manage to make sure all the pages and links on their own site work.
- SEO ''experts'' who use tables and images.

I know there''s more...

You forgot blog posts that say, "After the jump." WTF does that even mean? Jump of what? Is the author going to jump or something special like that? Usually what they refer to is in the next paragraph, with nothing in between.

Cats. Meatloaf. Hikers.

The dancing mortgage people. The "your an instant winner banner ads." (Do people actually believe that crap?) Spam emails about pleasuring your mate with a thicker shaft. Websites with black backgrounds and blue or red lettering. Acronyms that force you to do an extensive Google search to locate the definition. Overdone flash websites. Internet Explorer. Religious based chain emails. People who do not at least use firewall as a way of preventing the spread of viruses and worms to other people''s computers. People who send virus warnings via emails without doing any research to see if it''s a real threat. Stupid email signatures....There''s more. But I''ll stop now.

For me
#1 People who ask me for a time estimate when they already have a due date in mind.

1. Bosses who say they''re "corporate" customers still use ie6, so we need to support it. And still want pixel perfect output across all browsers.

2. People who think asp.net 2.0 is too new to put in a real production applicatoin. [Don''t even ask....]

3. MS not nuking ie6.

These are awesome additions!

Another annoyance I have is when someone continually snipes at a product and "just happens to be" from a competitor.

And yes...I see it on my side of the fence as well.

The perforated "push here to open" section on food boxes, like on a mac&cheese box. They never friggin work. Maybe I need to let my nails grow longer.

The plastic wrap on CD cases. Opening those make me want to poke my eyes out.

Old people on the internet complaining about how people spend 2 much time on the internet. Seriously...u jst spent like an hour online making a website on how we shouldn''t spend our time online... Really if your that old and stupid, you shouldn''t be allowed on the internet.
