Personally, I dislike...
1) Out of office email auto-replies. Good lord, they drive me insane. I don't even think it's the actual messages that I dislike, but more the fact that people seem to consider it some kind of status symbol to have one.

One aspect of my job is having to deal with computer-illiterate fools within the company I work for. I get at least one call a week asking "how can I set up an out of office message because I'm going to be away on my lunch/for an hour/for the afternoon/for a day". It takes every ounce of the little self-restraint that I posess to prevent myself shouting "FUCK OFF PEON, YOU ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS YOU THINK YOU ARE" back at them.

They're all fascinated with Microsoft Outlook as well, which is the other thing I cannot stand. God forbid if they have to work on a computer without it.

2) People who can't punctuate properly. I've just been reading down the page and I've seen a guilty party already. While I do agree to some extent with the content of your rant, your use of "driver's" when you mean "drivers" is unacceptable. If I had my copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" with me, I would quite probably put a stickler-sticker on my monitor to show my ire.

3) People leaving progressively more desperate voicemails on my phone, in the mistaken belief that the number of voicemails they leave is inversely proportional to the time it will take for me to call them back. No, your problem is not any more important than anyone else's, no matter what you think, and it will be dealt with in the fullness of time. Until then you're just going to have to sit tight and wait.

4) Madonna. She was good about thirty years ago, and now she's just pushing the limits of decency. Her new song is shite as well. I was going to say that I'm surprised it's got to number one, but come to think of it, I'm really not.

Damn true
They annoy the fuck out of me too. It's just extra shite to have to delete
