Does my nut in! There's a reason you don't know said command, it's usually because you don't understand what needs doing!

		People at work who say "I really must get onto that".  Invariably weeks slip by and they don't do it (but they keep saying they need to do it), then it becomes urgent and everyone else has to pitch in to get it sorted in minimal time.   
 
If you know you need to do it...just f***ing do it!

Can you play wonderwall?
 
I get "can you just throw together a quick calc, it'll only take like 5 mins"  usually asked by a project manager who has little knowledge of engineering. Also means that the 5 min calc which isn't checked over will probably be either wrong or over engineered both of which ends up being the engineers fault
