Oh snap! They didn’t refill the ice cube tray after they used the last cup of coffee to make their iced coffee.

we would forget our annoyance at your self-aggrandizing and cloying determination to post a link to your P.O.S. site in your signature in a prominent post without adding anything to the community

Why do people take the time to take a crappy, blurry picture they want to share with others? This is like having glaucoma. Is it too much to have you master your camera? Yes, I’m aware this is passive aggressive. (Yes, I’m aware this is passive aggressive.)

You mean, pronounced “la-tek”.

More appropriate would be editing the TeX document using vi. LaTeX is too new-fangled for the truly nerdy.

Also:

unzip; strip; touch; finger; grep; mount; fsck; more; yes; fsck; umount; sleep

“tech-minded individuals still made patronizing flow charts the old-fashioned way, using openoffice on linux.”

Whoa, what?!

The old-fashioned way would be LaTeX (pronounced “la-tech”, I kid you not) or Postscript on Unix.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Us Brits use “Oh, snap” to mean “jinx” too so was more than a little confused

Amanda,

The office manager at my work used “gentle reminder” in an email to all the other day.

you must be southern…

well, bless your heart, but why do you have to put your blog link in your comment when your name links us right up to the same damn place?

Bad grammar is another reason why I piss in the communal coffee pot.

The criteria for when you should use the phrase “Oh Snap!” lists only one thing, so surely it should be a criterion?

I clearly need to get out more.

But me and Mowgli blamed Bagheera. That was wrong of us. Very wrong indeed.
