Hiya!
Good thing there are no puppies or kittens around me right now or they'd be in mortal danger of getting kicked! >:| Agree, words can not express my rage at this product either! In fact, I as around 18 when it came out. I bought it. Took it home. And after the first or second page flip I felt the rage boiling! I made my best friends come over. I then proceeded to individually rip out each page, one by one, and let them rip those up. At the end we had a large pile of ripped up paper. I then stuffed the mess into the fireplace. And lit it. We all smiled as we imagined the flames somehow acting as a sort of "voodoo doll curse" to those in charge at TSR who though this was a "good idea".
Nothing I've ever purchased since has even come close to that level of soul-devouring loathing. Nothing.

...still fill me with rage:
1. WG7, Castle Greyhawk. Words, to this day, cannot express my rage at this product. TSR put out a lot of really terrible product among all the good stuff- but this may have been the worst, because it was truly spiteful toward the customers. To explain why, you had to understand the Castle Greyhawk (and its dungeons) were like the holy grail for 80s gaming. It was the ur-dungeon. Hinted at in modules and Dragon magazine articles, it was what every gamer wanted to see.
