Self-righteous computer programs which believe they're more important than ANYTHING.
Examples:
Any program which upon installing it, it decides entirely by itself to add it's wonderful being to the computer's startup list. Even if its some very secondary status indicator for something you never use.
IM programs that minimize your shit when a message comes in. If I could count the times I've been yanked out of a game by Google Talk...
Splash screens, the kind that cover 50% of the center of your screen and will not go away even if you alt tab to something else, and the program takes a week and a half to open, which I don't mind, but at least let me continue doing other stuff while you load your 750 thousand files, Paint Shop Pro!
Web browsers that remind you at every turn they're not the default web browser on your computer.
Finally those programs that run services in your background entirely dedicated to finding updates, cos nothing can be more important. I'm looking at you Adobe.
