Rant: 2 hours of sleep, WTH?
I'm sure we all have, and the Movie Game is rather unimportant in the grand scheme of things.I know, I'm not proud of it. I've made some questionable decisions over the years!

Well, I had four hours. Then someone decided it was time for a bottle. Perhaps a nap later...
Had that problem yesterday myself. Probably only managed four hours or so last night, and not very good-quality at that. Ugh. (No baby in the house, and the pets weren't THAT big a problem.)

Servers that force you to specify the index.html otherwise your page doesn't load. The browser is supposed to assume that file if the address doesn't include a target html file. Not on my new server, oh no. If you type the address without an html file specified, you get a cgi error telling you my website isn't there. Add the index to the address and it loads fine. :banghead:

Websites that only work with Internet Exploiter. Because everyone uses Windows, right? (On a side note, I once had an employee of Charter tell me that Linux couldn't be used on the internet. Really!?)

Being asked what Linux is. And why are you running it
(snerk) Believe it or not, it's plausible to me that someone in a tech position could be that clueless. I did tech support for UPS for a while, and one of my training classmates wasn't clear on what a hard drive was (nice woman, great at the customer service end, bit ignorant about the technical).
Yeah, the lazy/incompetent designers who just assume that we're all MicroSerfs and wouldn't stray off that plantation, so don't bother to test on any better browsers (I used Firefox for quite a while, currently on Chrome, with Safari as fallback for some sites like VM that don't like my usuals) drive me up the wall. What part of "standard" is such a problem?

Then by the time it's cool enough to eat, it has a funky texture (i.e. crunchy, chewy, plasticy, etc...)

Handy tip, remove the plastic wrap from the plate before microwaving the wife's famous homemade enchiladas. Failure to do so will result in the inability to differentiate the melted plastic from the cheese. 
I like to guess what car it is with minimal detail as possible... so I'm going to guess what car you have if you don't mind.

Irrational and unreasonable people! Huge pet peeve of mine. I used to be much more patient, but my ex-wife cured me of that.
Now I have a three month old, he isn't all that rational and the old frustrations come out. I can't wait for him to be old enough to understand when I tell him to wait a moment.

I hate how no matter your search string in the market (I refuse to call it the play store, that's stupid) about one third of the results are Go Launcher themes

Most likely, but I'm on my phone FAR more often than a PC.
It bothers me how much I actually miss not seeing half the information that the full desktop version has. Like badges. I have no idea who's a noob and who is a mod.
