Salespeople as employees are the worst. Low self-esteem narcissists the lot of them.

Oh ya, another one: Powerpoint.

My current company thinks it is the cat's ass. It is fine in some applications. Presentations to management or investors or suitors.

A document to field people in coveralls instructing them on protocols and sharing information on starting up a site is just completely idiotic to put it in this format on company branded awful powerpoint format. I want something they can staple to the wall or pull up on their phone.

Plus I have to sit here and fart around with formatting limitations trying to insert diagrams for 10 times longer than if I just put it in a Word document.

Which designers/engineers at Google thought it would be a great idea to remove the search bar/box in the Play store and instead create a separate "tab" for searching. This is moronic.

speaking of tabs, it drives me wild that my girlfriend keeps 20 tabs open at a time.
and then she complains that the computer is acting up.

Its all fun and games until you try to move one of the pictures or graphs in Word.

Every online photo printing service (Shuttefly, Staples, etc) has the absolute WORST User interface and software. I hate each and every time I have to try and print something using an online portal

I have over 100 tabs open on my phone but never have more than a few on desktop (work or home) and it’s only ever when I need to swap between two tabs regularly for a short period of time.

I love that we are going to the airport very soon, the plan was set earlier this week, and my family hasn't packed any of their #### yet. The suitcases have been out since Tuesday and I packed everything I need that night. I'm getting in the car soon with my stuff and going on vacation alone.

That and all the companies that started offering services basically filling your office with aerosolized disinfectant. Containing chemicals with known respiratory effects that would then be floating around in your office air for a few days.

I don’t understand it. Perhaps I’m an elderly man but I have a total of one tab at all times unless it’s work and I need a second tab that is a specific reference to something I’m working on.

These multi tab people probably also have unread notifications on their phone and as such cannot be trusted.

Yeah, I thankfully never did that. But again, we didn't know what we didn't know.

No one uses the bookmark/favorites function. Even easier than scanning through history for a page you want to revisit.
