then dont use an HP printer


or... look on the HP website for the "IT Professional Driver" .. its basically just the PCL driver without the bloatware crap.


Here's an example of one i just downloaded and installed for a user:

People who can't come up with a password when i give them a "starter" password.

User: i need a password
Me: Ok.. it's Welcome1
User: it says i need to change it
Me: right.. you have to come up with one
User: i tried 20 different passwords and it doesnt like it.. what should i do?
Me: i dont know fucktard... how about using Welcome2??????
Me: :|

People who don't pay attention to what they're told.

Me: Ok.. your password is Welcome1
User: did you say Welcome01 (zero one) or Welcome 1 (space 1) or Welcome 2?
Me: i said Welcome1 ... just Welcome1 .. no zeroes.. no spaces... just Welcome1

Whoa. I need to change the combination on my luggage...

What really drives me nuts?

When I jump in whichever of our cars , and the wife has left a bunch of crap in the back(mainly the Tahoe) that rolls around every time I turn, or accel or brake.

Also: I like driving with the windows down, she likes leaving paperwork strewn about so that it goes flying.

Dang, that one is funny and I totally agree.

I dunno. I've never had problems seeing even in the middle of a sunny day with snow cover. I only have trouble when I've been wearing sunglasses and take them off.

I guess I'm just harsh because I see a lot of dorknobs driving around with sunglasses on cloudy days. Especially those big white rimmed ones. Maybe you wear sunglasses just on sunny days and only while driving. If so, you're the exception to the rule these days.

Unfortunatly I'm in that category, though my Natives certainly don't have white rims. My eyes are so freaking sensative that I need to wear sunglasses almost all the time I'm outside... and I live in Seattle if that tells you anything. I used to struggle with cheap ones and finally started trying on nicer pairs (Oakly, Smith, and finally Native) and man, soooo much better. I just hope I got these in time to prevent the massive, permanent forehead squint wrinkles from getting me at an early age.

Grocery shopping anytime before say 8pm. Went to the local 24 hour Winco at 4pm a few days ago there is some bizarre vortex effect that causes everyone to get in your way and then proceed to move slow as shit.

 

[CptObvious]

People who don't follow right-of-way. For example, driving through a stop sign even though you got there first, or not following left turn rules on a divided highway.

Or on the subway stops, when people push their way in before anyone has gotten out.

This really pisses me off. I work on the 5th. I get on on -1 (underground parking) and six stops later through 0/1/2/3/4/5, I count about two dozen people that only had to go up a single floor.

And I also hate it when the last asshole out the elevator decides to hit all the buttons and I'm on the top as an empty elevator stops on every single floor on its way up with no one getting on/off. FUCK THOSE ASSHOLES.

but I wont get cheap ones, I really don't like them.

Maybe give up the sunglasses? Or are your eyes so pathetically weak you can't go outside with them?

You've never owned a good pair of sunglasses I guess? Putting on my polarized Oakleys when it is bright outside gives my eyes so much relief. I never noticed how much I squinted in the sun until I bought them. They are especially amazing when the road is wet after raining and the sun is shining. It's not about being pathetically weak, it's about being comfortable, and safe behind the wheel.

I dunno. I've never had problems seeing even in the middle of a sunny day with snow cover. I only have trouble when I've been wearing sunglasses and take them off.

You worry way, WAY too much about other people's sunglasses.

I think the guy wearing sunglasses (or girl) at 8 p.m. at night while driving is worrying waaaay too much about looking cool.

And I might point out that this is a thread about things that annoy you. If you think my comment is out of line, the close window button is in the upper right corner of the window, bud.

people who aren't satisfied you are 5-10 miles over speed limit, people who tailgate when roads are snow/ice covered, people who pass because you "are" going the speed limit and it doesn't apply to them.
People who have lived in a snow region all their life, and still cant drive in it. People who park mid way between two parking spaces, either on street, or in parking lot side by side.
And the worst for me is when someone parks to close beside you, gets out and bangs your door with theirs, and doesn't even have the courtesy to apologize or even acknowledge doing it.
When parking is head on against a wall, leaving shopping carts in the empty space next to them, that you now want to use. And i wish! all fuel doors were on same side or every car. And too, people knew what side it was on on their own car.

They don't always have a bloatfree driver. Depends on make/model and if they bothered to make one.

haha all so true. A couple years back after an ice storm the highway was pure ice. I was going 50 (limit is 60) and people were swerving to pass me. Is it really worth risking your life to get to work 2 minutes early?

I'll add to that.

When you get out of the shower and realize you need to take a dump. What a waste of a shower.

Just crap in the shower and work it through the drain with your feet.

People who want to eat breakfast at 11 oclock at night. Fuck you. It's 11 oclock at night. Go the fuck to bed.

Conversely, people who want to eat burgers at 3am. Fuck you, it's 3am, go your drunk ass home and pass out in a puddle of puke.

People on the phone while at a checkout or ordering point. HANG THE FUCK UP, no conversation is that important.

Had a guy pass me on some really glazed road, and he tooted his horn as he passed. That was old school and proper back in the day but nobody does that anymore.
Half a mile up the road he had slid into the guardrail while trying to get on the freeway ramp.
I know I'm going to hell, but I just had to give him a polite little honk as I passed

Me: i said Welcome1 ... just Welcome1 .. no zeroes.. no spaces... just Welcome1

Even better, on one of our apps, the user has to create a "secret question" and answer so they can reset their own passwords. I am amazed and floored when I get calls saying things like "Joe Smith can't remember the answer to his secret question."
