I get totally annoyed.
My peeve is when people refuse to actually say something about XYZ they're trying to convey, but rather most hover over you to tell you where to click, while you act as the brainless extension of their mind, simply because they can't communicate and they lock up and don't know what to say unless they make you point and click for them. Communication is a lost art in the information age.

Ya gotta yell at them. Stop, turn around and ask what they're trying to get you to do. We had this one guy who would just "click here. Here here no just click here. here. Now go there..click on that, right here...here. no here" He sounded like he'd drank 2 gallons of red bull. Finally had to bark at him to get him to stop. Nicely. But it was what it was.

It seems you've met most of the people I have ever worked with in the industry. Small world.

He was a great guy. He just communicated so very poorly that he'd resort to this nonsense.

Only if you want to smoke your monitor instead of just LARTing the luser.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Well long time no see! What you been up to? As it turns out, you're stuck with me for a few months while I dust off the cobwebs and play developer again to make an HTML5 project that's gonna help send my arse to Los Angeles.

That feels awesome. More awesomer because now you wouldn't get more time to hangout with all those beautiful chicks that you had on your list, that I always envied you about. :-D I've been doing the same Microsoft corporate applications. Super cool to know you are doing HTML5!

And I keep on telling you, you're an attractive guy. Get out there and go after a few chicks yourself. It's not magic... sorta. :suss:

The one that touches the monitor screens? or the one that doesn't? You might think it's not a big deal. But I really get pissed off if someone touches the monitor's surface just to point something out there. A guy here presses deep into the LCD and says "THIS!" is the problem. I feel like saying "If you don't take the finger off my screen, your finger would be in problem." But seriously, I've at least really requested some of them here not to do it. -humbly. I've ignored these many times. But when I do, after switching off the monitor if see a mess of dirty fingerprints, I get totally annoyed. :| Some dudes go farther & use the back side of pen/marker to point out a line of code that might be causing a problem. :doh: The funnier side of it - the little cousin I have around here, tries to do the same. When he does, I stop him & teach him some gadget-manners - i.e why we shouldn't touch computers/Notebooks screens so hard ,etc. He listens & waits only to ask me back the same question when I'm using my tablet. The grumpy kid certainly feels I'm a Hypocrite. :)

Kill mode on... Somehow if somebody touches any of my screens an automatic sudden death happens... :badger:

Better they touch my screen than touch me. X|
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Get touch screens, I worked with one recently and realised I am a toucher when instructing, it is really fucking irritating to have the screen react when you are just trying to point out something. Get some screen cleaner, I need to do it weekly, I do quite a bit of instructing :-O

I only touch the screen of tablets (which are touchscreen) and laptops (which should be). On desktop machines, there's no point in doing so.

I'm no prude: I feel free to touch my kit however I want. I do, however, try not to touch other people's kit if I know they're a bit repressed about it. Actually, I'm known to draw on my screen with whiteboard pens when it helps. And I've been known to fix a problem with errant punctuation in my code by gently wiping my monitor with a damp finger. If that offends, you probably wouldn't like the 25 years of accumulated breakfasts in my keyboard either.

I used to be a Class, but after some time in the CP Q&A , i saw no value in the Structure of classes. Some say i am an Enumeration but others dispute that and say i am an Interface but honestly speaking i think i am just a Delegate because i don't see any common type system.

I touch myself, but I don't touch others'. Um, let me clarify. I touch my own monitor, but I'm conscientious not to touch other people's monitors. Hmmm, that still doesn't sound right.... Marc

so much this. DO NOT EVER TOUCH MY SCREENS. I can touch my smart phone and tablet. But I will very openly clean them if someone else uses them for a bit. Bit like drinking out of someone else's beer. Just don't do it. How do people not get this?

I get confused between my touch sensitive tablet and my non-touch sensitive laptop. Jabbing away at the laptop just doesn't seem to work.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
