Survey: Britons more likely to get angry with PCs

Britons are morely like to get angry with their PC than with a fellow human being, according to a survey conducted by AVG UK.

The anti-virus company asked 3,000 people throughout the UK about their emotional reactions to computer problems, receiving some very interesting results.

Nearly half of those asked admitted going mad at their PC, finding it more infuriating than anything else they experienced in life. The top three reasons for people being annoyed with their computers are them being too slow, crashing, or experiencing pop-up ads on the internet. For the last problem, at least, we would advise an update to your internet browser.

This is because we Brits are kind and friendly people who never get angry with each other. We get angry at computers on rare occasions.

Survey doesn't take into account that everyone in America is dosed up on Ritalin

The average experience in an online game with a brit disagrees. They're too easy to troll. Especially if you put on a fake british accent and then switch to american later on.

Obvious trolling, no American in the history of the world has ever done anything approaching a realistic British accent. All Britfags will concur.
