When someone asks me what do you think about whatever and I give my opinion, but they don't agree and begin to argue. They asked for my op. How can it be the wrong answer 

Speaking of asking for opinions... what do you think about when someone only acknowledges what you just said for the purpose of changing the subject to what they really want to talk about?  @ walter, I hope you have an opinion on this so I can argue with you

   Fights on TV or in movies.  Big guys will be smashing each other in the face with bare fists and there are no marks at all or if there are they're gone the next day.  If you get caught by a right cross square in the face you're going to look bad for a while.

The number of times I would get replies to emails that were sent out to the entire nursing student body at uni that just said "Thanks for the info!" because someone 1. would be replying to an email that didn't need a reply 2. didn't understand that Reply All means REPLY ALL. Infuriating to have my inbox filled with so much spam.

Telemarketers.  The sons of bitches should be illegal.  I suspect some day they will be.

"I was thinking... I've seen you hinting all year that the one thing you would really want for Christmas is a large monetary drain that will require long term maintenance and upkeep and you didn't want any say in the colour or make so... I bought you a car without having a conversation about it to maintain the fleeting surprise of my gift!"

   I see chefs on TV do this all the time.  They'll want to add a hot pepper to what ever they're preparing.  They'll cut open the pepper to chop it up but first the scoop the seeds out and throw them away because they don't want to make the dish hot.  Like DUH!

Microsoft Help;
      Some good friends got me a new computer for Christmas.  It's an HP laptop like my old one. The old one has two bars under the fingerpad  that in conjunction with the fingerpad allow me to copy and paste text and move files around .  The new computer has no such bars. There is nothing under the fingerpad. 
  So I asked Microsoft Help "How do I move files around on my desktop?"  To me this seems like a very simple, straightforward question in plain English.  Help answered everything but.  Then it tried to send me on a wild goose chase through Helpland. 
    This infuriated me. I started using computers in the early 80s.  In all of the countless times I've used Microsoft Help it has never once answered my question or helped me in any way.  It's like a long standing joke between Microsoft and their customers.  Writing a program so comprehensively useless has to be a conscious effort.
    Does anyone know how to move files, copy, and paste on newer HP computers that don't have the two bars at the bottom of the keypad?  Thanks.

Edit:  Yesterday I found a piece of paperwork with the packaging that explained how to use the fingerpad to achieve the functions once provided by the missing bars. It involves double tapping and using multiple fingers simultaneously.  Why couldn't Help tell me that?
