Things That Piss Me Off:
I hate when you click on an 'Enlarge Picture' link, hoping to get a picture of relatively decent size, and it brings up a pop-up that shows the same image at maybe 25% larger, which is still too small to make out any detail.

I have to tell someone about this because it just pissed me off so much.
I left my computer on last night. I had a couple of songs queued up but they weren’t actively downloading, so I figured I’d leave the computer running and see if they came down overnight. I got up this morning and my computer had rebooted. Windows, in its infinite wisdom, had seen fit to grab a patch, install it, and then conveniently re-boot my computer. Because its so painfully obvious that I want to re-boot whenever Windows thinks its appropriate.
God do I hate that. I wish Windows was a person, so I could wrap my hands around its neck and throttle it. If my computer is on then its on for a reason. I don’t WANT to reboot every stupid time it does something. Install a program, download a patch, change a setting, these do NOT raise within me a spontaneous desire to reboot. I hate rebooting! I’ll do it when I want, not because Windows thinks it should be done.
In short, Windows sucks.

I can't believe how clueless some people are when they drive.
Not everyone will know where I'm talking about but bear with me. To come home I have to come south on Idylwyld. I turn off of this freeway at 51st Street to come home. Between where I enter Idylwyld and where I exit it, Highway 16 from North Battleford merges into traffic.
To exit at 51st Street I have to move into the outside RIGHT lane. This is the lane that belongs to traffic that is merging in from Highway 16. So, as the semi-trailer came up from Highway 16, I had to speed up to pull ahead of it, and be in my proper lane to exit the freeway.
This idiot in a car behind me also wanted to exit at 51st Street. However, rather than be courteous and speed up to be well ahead of the monster truck, he just signaled and idled across, RIGHT in front of the semi-trailer. I didn't even have to be in the cab to hear him curse.
