I hate those unvertisements where they're having a clearance for furniture or carpets and someone is constantly shouting. They don't make me want to buy stuff, they make me want to find the manager of that place and shove a screwdriver down his ear canal.

A Playstation 3.
The PS3 is considered by some of its detractors to possess a passing physical resemblance to the George Foreman Grill. As such, those not fond of the console often like to dismissively refer to it as the (much cheaper) cooking appliance.

1: "Tell me again, why did you pay $1,000 for a George Foreman Grill?"
2: "I'm gonna be playing Halo 3 multiplayer all weekend! Oh yeah, you can't, you bought a George Foreman Grill".

1: Software that serves no useful purpose, but impairs the function of your computer, often due to using up RAM. Unlike spyware or malware this is just due to poor design rather than malicious intent.
2: Software designed to make computers easier for lusers to use, but ends up teaching them bad habits which cause them to wreck their computer or otherwise make using it more difficult than it needs to be.

Much of the "bonus" software that comes pre-installed with home computers sold by major manufacturers tends to fit one or both definitions of "retardware".

You are being screwed.
Background: In any parliamentary system the only thing all the parties have in common is an interest in screwing over the people who voted them in. As a result, if they're agreeing on anything, it's almost certainly not in your interest.

Today the "orphans, puppies and kittens bill" was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, allowing all tax evaders to be shot on sight without due process.

A situation with the potential to explode into serious drama, but which can be prudently avoided by remaining silent/lurking.
1: I didn't give an opinion on this earlier because I didn't want to risk stepping on a drama mine.
2: I'd rather stay out of this blog war, I know better than to go stepping on a drama mine.

In a teamwork situation, an extremely irrational person, who takes charge of a project through sheer force of will rather than competence and leads it in a direction which guarantees failure.
Background: The Don Quixote of literature had a tendency to do extraordinarily stupid things without thinking them through. But people were loathe to try and stop him on account of his being a few cans short of a six pack.

I am officially referring to my project leader as "Don Quixote" from this point on. She's got the idea in her head that she, rather than the boss, defines the project KPIs. I'm going along with it because a good performance appraisal is not worth the next few months of my life being made a living hell by that crazy-ass bitch!

A programmer who insists upon writing user-hostile code, simply because it's easier to do and doesn't want to admit their own lazyness and contempt for end users.
Most (but not all) Linux programmers are Trabant Builders.
Background: Communist East Germany produced a car called the Trabant. By some accounts it was an engineering marvel, as it could be built and taken apart using only 3 or 5 spanners. However, it was a rather pathetic car and nobody in their right mind drove one by choice.

D00d1: I wanted to make an AMV using Kino, but it turns out it's only compatible with one single codec. When I asked why he did that, he said it was easier to program and should change it myself if I'm not happy.
D00d2: Whoa! What a Trabant Builder!
