Incompetent / Lazy Computer users
We write a lot of reports and other documents here at work for clients, authorities and for internal use.

However it seems that I spend half my fucking life tidying-up other people's documents to the point that I feel confident they look professional enough to send to these important people.
Consistent formatting (throughout the WHOLE of the document, not just the current page), spelling and grammar. Never heard of a spell-checker? Bastards.
I reckon most of the problems stem from Micro-fucking-soft Office. How many Styles do you actually need? Why does it keep creating the little bastards. (And have you tried to delete them when It gets confused? Aaaarggh!).

And then there are the people who seem to be proud of the fact that they can't use these labour saving devices properly (and then expect the IT pixies to tidy-up their messes).

And don't get me started on the general populace's inability to use apostrophies. Come on, they're not that chuffing difficult to comprehend.

What else now ... ?

Apostrophies?
Is an apostrophy a prize you get for good spelling?

Anyone remember Lotus Amipro?
Nice little GUI, didn't do anything too flash (and therefore useless), and allowed you a grand total of 10 styles. That was enough for me then, why do I need thousands now? What's changed???
