* Stew
o People who call a philips screwdriver a \\\"star\\\"

* Tim
o Someone asks \\\"can you just quickly re-install my pc for me\\\".

* Cecilia
o People who sit on Twitter/Facebook - but ask dumb questions and never bother to Google. Google search bars are EVERYWHERE... Just type it in and whack the damn key.

* Barry
o When some one contacts you for an opinion on something they are doing, with the intention pushing their problem over to you.

* Jeff
o Too many too mention!!! spelling, bits vs bytes, cryptic facebook status, people on chat who say \\\"you there?\\\", this whole uncapped accounts / shaping / AUP stuff on the go.
