Virus and Malware writers:
Why not include a little pop-up window with your e-mail address, in your next piece of "work". This will make it so much easier for the thousands of people like me, who have just been forced to spend hours (despite fairly secure surfing practice) digging the latest examples of your handiwork out of their system; to congratulate your 'mad l33t haxxor skills'* or whatever the fuck you think you're doing when you code your latest piece of digital tripe.

* may actually involve tracking them down and smashing their stupid faces in with a Tyre Iron. Followed by my brief yet highly publicised trial for GBH, acquittal by a jury of equally indignant computer users; and finally picking up a small Knighthood in the New Year's Honours, for services to society.

You owe me hours, you bastards. The garden needs weeding, but instead I had to weed out your persistent little DNS re-router. I have laundry to do, but instead I had to clean the registry. I have legal cases to assemble, jobs to apply for, real work to do with my PC; and you've stopped me.

If you feel the overwhelming need to involve yourselves in other peoples lives, why not devote your energies in ways that improve society? There are many charitable organisations that always need volunteers, and in the end this will be a far more worthwhile legacy than simply proving to thousands of people what an utter thoughtless little shite you can be, and how effectively you can steal a little of their time that they'll never get back.

Don't run as Administrator then
Or don't run the computer as Administrator.

There, saved you another ten hours for next time.

Technically true
But then, why should I have to?

And a secondary tip for Router manufacturers: Don't design your products to keep defaulting to user "Admin", password "Admin", every time there's a hiccup in the power supply; but not tell anyone about the problem.

Kind of punches holes in user's efforts to avoid dictionary-attack password breaches.

whoever you are with the car insurance scam
speaking of breaking faces with tyre irons - To whoever keeps calling me to play a recording trying to get me to renew the factory warranty on my car (ie steal $5000 from me, as the warranty expired 78000 miles ago and you're a dirty cocksucking scam artist): Why don't you come visit me in person so we can discuss this new contract over drinks. For only $10,000 I'd be willing to sell you some insurance that would let you keep at least 2 molars in your slimy worthless face.

Shit, I'd pay a princely sum for the home addresses of many of these motherfuckers.

Ditto
The recording that keeps telling me I've won "boarding passes" for a cruise (yeah, like I'm that easily misled) - she's ripe for a beating.
