They irritate the hell out of you by playing some stupid rinky-dink MIDI tune that you've no way to shut off. They scare the crap out of you late at nightin a quiet room by bursting forth with unexpected noise. And just today at the office, I allowed my brand-new computer - significantly, my first-ever soundcard-equipped model - to broadcast some embarrassing hair-metal unabated for 45+ seconds, which I myself was basically unaware of, thanks to my mp3 earbuds! OK, that was partly my own fault; I'm not getting paid to surf the web. But all the same...Please, just stop it.
