I hate hate hate when clients touch my monitor screen! Ahh!
I also can't stand watching someone type super slowly. Or use a computer slowly in general.
What are your technology pet peeves?
-
Dealing with people who don't understand technology.
Or, at the moment, safari. Ever since it updated a few months ago some websites randomly come up backwards and upside down. And it makes me ragey.
-
I hate watching other people navigate a computer when I can do it so much faster, haha even if it's not the case, that's the way I feel!!
-
I hate when people touch my monitor and keyboard. I feel the need to sanitize it after someone else touches it. Ick!
-
@pui: @sunny: I can't fathom touching someone's screen? WTH?
-
@CupQuakeWalk: I know! I just have to grind my teeth and bare it because they're clients, but I want to be like "Could you please not do that?" lol. I hate finger smudges on my screen! Plus some of them poke it pretty hard and I'm worried they'll damage it.
-
When CNN.com only offers an article in video format
-
@LuLu Mom: That is my husband. I get so annoyed with him! He likes to use the touchpad on the laptop even if a mouse is plugged in and he is SO SLOW. I want to rip the computer out of his hand and do it myself.
-
When people don't type properly. I know technology is new, but with people our age...I just want to ask them if they were raised in a barn!!
and I totally second @char54 on the video format. Erg. Stop dumbing down society.
-
When someone calculates something on their calculator and then enters it into an excel spreadsheet.
-
@char54: that is the pits! I also hate articles that contain 27 slides that you have to click through. Boooo.
-
I can't stand the sound of fake nails on the keyboard.. also when a person is talking on the phone in the bathroom... really, it can't wait?!
-
Just thought of another one today... people who do not use their real name on Facebook! Like not even a nickname, a completely different weird name. It drives me nuts when I am trying to invite people to an event and I'm like "Where is so and so!?" before I remember they're not using their real name.
It's even worse if someone sends you a friend request with a fake name and their user picture is of a landscape or their kid or something... how am I supposed to know who the heck you are!?

@char54: +1!!
