      The <insert rude word here> at the party I was at on Saturday who asked whose car it was I was driving, only to look genuinely baffled when I confirmed it was actually mine.
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          Apologies in advance if I offend any developers here:

          Developers who design user interfaces without a care for the users. No-one GAS if your system has the latest and greatest functionality if they can't use it effectively.

          Error messages/dialogs with codespeak and no option other than OK.

          Large software vendors who peddle these kinds of legacy spaghetti products to similarly large organisations, with such muppetry hailed as a 'feature'. Who, clearly, have never even thought of testing it with real live end users.

          PMs who insist on 'high-level designs' (meaning: fully designed screens) before the requirements have even been signed off.

          Style-over-substance UIs that impede usage.

          Print designers pretending to be web designers.

          Design agencies pretending to be digital design agencies.

          The middle-management numpties who insist their products must be 'Web 2.0' without having the faintest what that means.

              Any organisation that claims to be passionate about anything.

              It's this decades' version of having "Simply the best" as your hold music.

                1. Umbrellas (always at eye level).
                2. People who buy 'personal' plates for their car!! "BUG" on a beatle, "BOX" on a Boxter etc.
                3. People in supermarkets who stop for a chat or to shriek at their grubby kids at the end of an aisle, with their trolley across it.
                4. Rude/indifferent shop assistants. (if it wasn't for customers, you'd be out of a job).
                5. Traffic lights that don't have a repeater on the other side of the junction so you have to bend your neck to see the lights you're parked underneath.
                6. Cyclists that go through red lights.

                The vegetarian option.

                    I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
