If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

1) PDF - It is just such a terrible mess internally
2) Regex - this hurts my poor tiny brain

I second the RegEx one.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

1. SharePoint
2. SharePoint
3. I almost forgot - SharePoint.

You forgot another one that I hate :
Sharepoint
I must stay any of my hate are insignificant compared to a ruined life after knowing this one.

Can I modify that to "Everything about SharePoint except its search functions"?
SharePoint search really is a blinder.
SharePoint itself makes you want to claw your eyes out.

You're like me with Oracle. I used to have to program in that mess. I told a headhunter not to send me to any jobs that required Oracle programming. Where did he send me? To a place they sacrificed a goat every morning to the God Oracle.
I called him up and said, "They do Oracle here, I told you I don't like Oracle. They want me to program Oracle here. Did I mention I don't like Oracle? Nothing but Oracle programming here. Did I mention they use Oracle here? (this goes on for at least five minutes)"
His response, "They do Unix as well."
"Only long enough to start Oracle!"

Could you explain? Do you hate SP from a developer's perspective or a user's perspective? I'm really interested.

The internet.. well, not hate, but I do wonder if it's all it was cracked up to be. These days it seems to be used too much by bad guys (the minority, I hope) trying to scam us or cause problems for us, whether the end result is on the web or in real life.
There's a lot of negativity generally on the web and that too seems to be flooding into real life far too much. I think many people would be a lot happier if they stopped using the internet (me for sure although I have to for my work).

It's a little silly to hate a technology. They're just tools - pick the one that suits the task or your mood and crack on; ignore the one you 'dislike'.
I've often found that when people hate a technology it's because they don't get it or they're so deeply into an opposing technology that they don't want to get it.

This. Exactly. Especially for programming languages.

Smartphones.
A regular cell phone (preferably the size and weight of a brick to discourage people from carrying them into restaurants, cinemas and other places) was fine for making calls in emergencies or, at least, when the call was essential.
Smartphones first encouraged people to be on them all the time - even when ordering at a coffee shop or restaurant - and then encouraged people to either google everything all the time or be endlessly texting nonsense to each other.
Texting is great for the hearing impaired - which explains why people sitting next to each other in clubs, etc. text each other. The music is so loud that:
1. They cannot hear one another speaking so need to text things like "hello", "do you want a drink?" and "do you think this music needs to be a bit louder?"
2. They are all going to be hearing impaired very soon anyway so they might as well get used to texting.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Mobile Phone
I feel with computers like if I was semi god Thor, child of Zeus (is it?). But with a phone, it seems like you gave me a toy hammer.

Right now, I hate the CP abuse system, because evil-minded scumbags are using it for political reasons.
Things like that will lead to the ruination of CP. The failure of bulletin boards/newsgroups/etc. always starts with small abuses like that.

But to answer your question: television, the destroyer of both the social fabric of society and the people's will and intellectual ability to do something about, well anything and everything.

Yah, I've heard your opinion on television before I wouldn't say I disagree with it, especially if we include all mass media, not only the television.
