1) Tinned Spaghetti/Tomato Ketchup (especially in fried rice)
2) Spam/Plastic square cut ham (also especially in fried rice)
3) Trying to fix a computer over the phone
4) No ToDo list syncing on my iPhone
5) Doors that don’t open both ways (push and pull)/Cupboards with that stupid thing that means you have to open one door first
Forgot some big ones:
* DVD Regions! They just plain SUCK! (DRM too)
* The way people in HK blindly just conform to the way they always did things, or what their boss tells them to do.
Oh also I hate the video screens on the KCR and buses!
And prices that don’t easily rip off things and leave a big mess.
Those annoying phone menus where you have to say the number or the option that you want. Actually automated phone menus in general!
Websites that have an option to change the language, but they write the names of the language in the language you can’t read!
Unecessarily complex/badly documented programming environments/platforms which make it slow to develope in or where you spend ages figuring out what should be really simple.
When REALLY smart people write a REALLY good book, but then have a few key inconsistencies that are glaringly obvious. I guess no one is perfect though.
If DRM wasn’t bad enough HDCP sucks even more! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content_Protection
Coins! (Thanks Jan)
Oh and Windows ME / Windows Vista
