oh absolutely this! I hate that! When they reach out with their fingers to the screen, I'd bite them off.

 

Plus uninstalling and decrapping people's computers every month because they install always the same shit over and over and over and over...

Windows.

Bad keyboards, 12 year olds that think they know everything, the way the "maximize" button works in OS X (yes, I just said that) anything except Logitech mice, the list goes on.

I hate it when customers call me and say that the software I set up isn't working, I get over there and their PC's are full of viruses/their internet is down and that's why it doesn't work, and when I tell them that, they are outraged and keep saying it's not their fault...

 

And the biggest evil of them all TOOLBARS, I FUCKING HATE TOOLBARS!!!!!

Anything relating to the lack of knowledge of how the internet works and the need for classification of ISPS as telecommunication companies.  Um.. touching computer monitors with their greasy fingers.  Misinformed apple users, and last but not least.. by any means.. people who just tend to not keep informed of what is going on in the computer world and then get a new computer and flaunt about, "I got an i7!!!  But what is your graphics card?  I got an i7...?"  *Facepalm* those kinds of people.

I was told my i5 2500k is old and I should get a new gen one because the 2500k is a bad performer... after a detailed comparison I proved that it's only 10% behind the latest gen i5's in most cases, sometimes even less and since mine is OC'd it wipes the floor with most of the new gen, even the K model since it OC's better. :)

Also annoyed by people who believe that audiophiles waste their time and effort when they could just get cheap headphones and an attached mic and be happy without -real- headphones, amp's and dac's or just use gaming headsets and be 'fine'.  x.x  Might sound snooty from that, but after my leaps and bounds from an old $20 logitech headset to my O2 and the Kingston hyperX Cloud, and then to my AKG's and Schiit(schiit everywhere!), I can't imagine being on a computer without proper audio equipment or even using speakers again.  xD

Your peeve / pieve is cable management being bad or being done at all?  I can't stand un-tidy cables.  I once opened the back of a friends comp and just stared at it and wanted to go home to get some zip-ties and a welding torch.

Amen to that. A proper headset/headphones is a must. AKG/Sennheiser/Bose/B&O/AT etc. MASTERRACE! :D
