That's a very good question. The thing with usernames is you pick one in your head, find that it's already taken, so quickly think of another, then add a number on the end to make sure. You are then stuck with it for life - there's no way to change it. I really hate that!
Going to a news site like CNN and finding out that the "news story"you just clicked on is actually an advertisement made to look like a news story.
Overhere, you write a letter to a moderator, and claim temporary insanity.
(in your case, Brig-01001111-01001110-01000101 would have been more appropiate.)
Worse yet, going to download a file only to be redirected to another site/webpage, and can't find anything closely resembling the name of the file you requested. And when you do, they make you wait 20 minutes, or pay extra for an instant connection. Sad! I generally leave disgusted and never return. If these sites only knew the amount of people that leave and never come back as a result of their shady tactics. 😡
Most of those sites have a down-loader they are trying to get you to accept. My suspicion is maleware.
And most have all kinds of ads that make you think you're clicking on the right link, only to discover.... Some of the more reputable ones even practice these tactics.
I routinely report those eBay sellers. I don't know if it does any good, but I hope so! The practice is dishonest.
You know what I hate? Those damn Chinese stink bugs. (Kudzu bugs) They do not belong to this part of the world and they damage my peppers.....little bastards!!!!
EDIT: I just killed two more.......dirty buggers....

Actually, we now have TWO species. Both do major damage to crops. I live a mile from where the snakehead invasion started. I wonder if snakeheads eat baby pythons? I have no doubt the fish will make it to Florida. These fish are so viscous, they can out-compete bass!
Picking on e-bay sellers again. Every single piece of "pro Sound" equipment I have bought was defective. Every one, I know the sellers knew darn well. Fortunately, I was able to fix all of them pretty easily. I would not like to suggest all musicians are scum, but if this was a sample of their honesty, that would be my conclusion.
Some advice, not in the lounge of course but on other forums, is truly terrible and totally wrong.
Some well informed advise may be well considered, but the choice may be a different path. Everyone sets their own priorities. I have just considered very informed council that I would not be happy with about any HDMI switching or AVR and should just go back to stereo. I respect these views highly, but decided to give it one more try and ordered a NAD T-757 for my movie room.
What I hate is when someone asks for advice here, is given several reasoned replies, and they they attack the answers.

I hate it when manufacturers cunningly disguise very small axial capacitors as resistors, complete with resistor type colour bands.
For some time yesterday, i couldn't work out why new resistors measured open circuit. Doh!!!

I hate all types of windows. I strongly still using DOS at my home PC´s. I hate windows doing as it wants, nor what I want.
Yesterdays top news story on the TV....ahead of the typical "murder of the day" on Miami TV.....A Python attacked, killed, and devoured a full grown Siberian Husky in the owners backyard....about 4 miles from where I grew up.
The TV can start a hurricane panic here so quickly that grocery store shelves and gas stations are empty in about 8 hours....ALL of them. Most of the time is it a false alarm. Then there is the flip side.
Hurricane Katrina, the same storm that trashed New Orleans several years ago, visited South Florida on it's way to Lousiana. The forcasters blew that one so bad that the people who live aboard their boats in Biscayne Bay were told not to evacuate....7 people were killed.
