Many things are evil.
This started out as a Notes thread on a Data General at The Evergreen State College, but now it's a whole new online atrocity. Despair over what other people think is evil and if you feel like telling us what you think is evil, well, you'll figure out how to do it (hint -- go to the bottom).
Here's your Evil Stuff!

You're at work, in a cube farm, minding your own business. Suddenly, you realize you're drowsing, nodding off. This is evil. However, lest you become complacent, allow me to continue. You decide you need a cuppa joe and a walk to get it. The coffee service is at the other end of the building, requiring you to walk basically through the entire company. That's fine, a walk is good, too. But just then, you get a Surprise Erection. It won't go away. Would you rather be caught dozing or erect by co-workers or a boss? THAT is evil, my amateur-at-evil friends....

Excessive web crap -- such as Flash, clip-art giant-sized animated GIFs, and multimedia plug-ins that are NOT required for your business, but are put in because someone in marketing is convinced that "Flash is cool!" without actually knowing what the hell they're talking about or item one about the presentation of data is pretty evil. And, because it contributes to the exploding population of crap design and shit-ass useability out there, it makes it harder for people who actually believe getting data from point A to point B efficiently to get work -- solely because they won't put bouncy crap on the sites. And THAT is even more evil.

For plastering an ugly, ugly, ugly copyright notice on every page of his calendar, making the pictures look ugly, a priori accusing me of theft, and not letting people -- and by "people", I mean "me" -- know that each page is marked until they open the plastic wrapper, I hereby declare that Thomas Kinkade is not only more greedy and distrustful than major recording labels, and my new least-favorite artist, but is now and forevermore well and truly Evil. I spit and not even the taste of such evil can leave my mouth. I must gargle with liquid nitrogen and then beat my tongue with a silver hammer to rinse the flavor of the atrocity from my mouth.

Hearing some dumb-ass rumor that you assaulted someone at a function you never attended (nor would for philosophical reasons) is evil, but hearing it after it's been through several mailing lists already is even more evil, although it's not nearly as bone-crushingly evil as finding out that a dear friend simply stops writing to you and stops returning your calls, e-mails, and letters when she hears the same rumors, despite the fact that she's known you for nearly fifteen years. Now that is goddamn evil. Admittedly, it filters out friends of shit-ass moral fortitude, but regardless, it's evil.
