You wanna know what pisses me off? When our new webcast provider promises that they can import a registration list 500 entries long before our first event (taking place today) and they write me an e-mail at 2:40 AM this morning telling me that...oops...there must have been a miscommunication and they can't import a simple f**king CSV list into their database and I have to request that every single person in my office drops whatever they're doing to manually enter 500 extensive registrations into their f**king form.

Gotta go... 3 down, 497 to go...

Or people who pronounce AMD Phenom, as Pheenom, instead of a short unemphasized e.

Or Vista, Veesta.

I was at the Chicago overclocking pre-release event for the Phenom II series... they [AMD] pronounced it fee-nom.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/phenom says you can correctly pronounce it either way, but I've always heard it fee-nom.

Oh yeah, and another one, mis-advertised items for sale... LIKE A SOFT TOP WITH A PATCH IN IT THAT PLACES SAY THEY CAN'T FIX!!!
