1. How Flash plugins doesnt work with windows...no matter how many times you reinstall or how many 'fixes' you try from Adobes website/support forums. Can some twat from microsoft or adobe FINALLY admit that the two arent compatible and we might get something done about it?

2. Forums with 20 threads started whose subject line is 'Help'. The subject line should contain some information about its content. There are variants of this phenomenon, all of which render a forum practically meaningless at first glance.

3. Ads that appear in the middle of the content youre trying to read/watch. I know all about adblock and various other programs that help but thats not the point. ANY ads that appear in this manner have a complete and categorical effect on me that I will consciously boycott any product or services they offer.

4. ISP's who lie about the speed of your internet connection. 8 meg broadband should mean 8 meg....not 1.2 meg at its limit straining best.

Any more?

points 1 and 4 i dont agree with. I have never had any problem with flash plugins in windows. And as for the internet speed , you are supposed to know that your download speed will be approximately 1/8th of the advertised line speed.
 
Down time from virgin media, ok it doesn't happen much but i tend to work at night and thats when they do upgrades and the likes, makes me rage like nothing else.

Leechers, people who do not seed back what they download leaving others stuck, i mean how hard is it to simply leave it in your torrent client.

Not at all Ragnarok, Virgin fibre optic is rock solid for speeds even if your a fair distance from the exchange, bt and others adsl though is a different matter.

Another is the public chat applets you see on streaming web pages, its like some of them live to just talk complete bollocks to toal strangers.

Type flash crash into google and you'll see what i mean...millions of people are having the same problem...also...'youre supposed to know' doesnt cut it for me. If the ad says 8 mb unlimited broadband imo thats what you should expect, regardless of the small print
 
When you're booking a return flight for a period a month or so away, you click on the "outward" calendar, and it automatically starts from todays date.

You then enter your proposed checking in date - say October 23rd...

Next it asks for your "return" date, and it still automatically enters today's date!

Why doesn't it know that you'll be returning AFTER your outward flight, and start the calendar from there!?

Only trivial - but it bugs me!
