What is your least favourite acronym?
Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.
Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

Totally agree on RTFM, I almost exclusively see it used by people who really need to put you down to feel adequate. Same thing with the assholes who answer a question with a LMGTFY (let me Google that for you) link, who think they’re clever but have entirely missed the point of asking for input from actual humans.
I don’t know PEBKAC and I’m kind of afraid to look it up.
Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.
Like that time my uncle told me his laptop wasn't charging and I discovered that he'd plugged a phone charger into the headphone socket.
Also occasionally PICNIC for problem in chair, not in computer.
Oh, ok, I remember that now, thanks.
I’ll see about forgetting it again because it irritates me lol.
