I do use an RSS reader, which immediately makes my P.P. list longer:
– (RSS Bandit) Why can I only use it to read blogs, but not post comments? (OK, I read somewhere it requires something on your blog side, but still?)

Picks on Flickr “zullen je geen flickr interesseren” I fear 🙂 (look up group Hooigaarde)

Just being lazy: it takes one to recognize… 🙂

@Injun:
1. I think you NEED a blog (and if you don’t have one already, an RSS reader too). Great way to vent! You’re just being lazy.
2. You have pictures on Flickr .. and I don’t know about that?
3. I KNOW you have more Pet Peeve categories than just one.

If ever I start a blog (Gartner probability 0.01), my Pet Peeve section will only have one entry (“stupid PC software”), but it will be a mile long, and will contain things like:
– (Outlook 2002) why can’t I simply drag-and-drop a contact to a distribution list?
– (Outlook 2002) why can’t I distinguish between multiple email addresses of a contact until I actually added it to the addressee list?
– (Flickr) in a simple “group” of pics, why does it take three non-obvious clicks to get to a slideshow?
– (Flickr) why is the natural order of photo’s “random”? Why can’t you easily choose which order you want (oldest first, latest first, by file name,…)?
etc…etc…etc…

I am pleased to tell you that someone has invented something actually called a “Gas Doohickey” that does just exactly what you want! It’s plastic, anti-static and inexpensive! It is patented. The inventor Wayne Brown, lives in Jacksonville, FL. He works for Word of Life Ministries in Clay County Florida. He can hook you up, so to speak!
