    No, not THAT wall... Come the revolution, should it be? - Politicians? - Lawyers? - Insurance salesmen? - Telephone salesmen? - Those people who think I should have said "Salespersons" in the previous two options? - Marketing people? - The person that said at the Golden Globes, in the future, they are only going to make movies where 50% of the people involved are women? (Presumably regardless of talent) Feel free to vote for these or add your own choices (with optional justification)...

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

      People who post messages about Global Warming here. People who post messages saying, "my program does not work, please give me a solution". People who forget to post the CCC. Anyone else who irritates me.

                When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

                  As some day it may happen that a victim must be found I've got a little list - I've got a little list Of Corporate offenders who might well be underground And who never would be missed - who never would be missed! There's the pestilential nuisances who show their charts and graphs All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs All bosses who make up due dates, and floor you with 'em flat All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like that And all those persons who on spoiling power naps insist They'd none of 'em be missed - they'd none of 'em be missed! He's got 'em on the list - he's got 'em on the list And they'll none of 'em be missed - they'll none of 'em be missed There's the Social Media director, and the others of his ilk And the Help Desk "analyst" - I've got him on the list! And the people who drink cappuccino and finish up the milk They never would be missed - they never would be missed! Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone All companies but this, and every department but his own And the intern from University, who thinks he knows it all And who "doesn't need to test his code", so makes Production fall And that singular anomaly, the lady HR-ist I don't think she'd be missed - I'm sure she'd not he missed! He's got her on the list - he's got her on the list And I don't think she'll be missed - I'm sure she'll not be missed! And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife The legal analyst - I've got him on the list! All marketers, salesmen, and clowns of public life They'd none of 'em be missed - they'd none of 'em be missed And apologetic spokesmen of a compromising kind Such as - What d'ye call him - Thing'em-bob, and likewise - Never-mind And 'St- 'st- 'st- and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list For they'd none of 'em be missed - they'd none of 'em be missed! You may put 'em on the list - you may put 'em on the list And they'll none of 'em be missed - they'll none of 'em be missed! (With apologies to G&S)

                                      People that use acronyms because they are too lazy to type out the full words.

                                      Help stamp out acronyms.

                                        I GUESS I AM TOO OLD. I believe that Cell Phones should only be used for making and receiving calls, Idiots who text while they are driving should be imprisoned. So I guess I do hate texting and "text speech" In all its forms. Acronyms about technical things and concepts are poor communication. They are easily misinterpreted and confusing for those unacquainted with the concepts or devices they are meant to refer to, and force many, myself included, into too many Wikipedia lookups. I also wonder are those that use them trying to show that they are "insiders" and "belong". I guess it is just a generational thing. I also would like to point out that I enjoy and look forward to your "Thought for the Day".

                                        Help stamp out Acronyms. Texting is Evil.

                                          I literally failed to understand a single acronym you used. Please see my response to the Original Griff. I don't know what you tried to tell me but right back at you.
