[QUOTE=Maloof?;20206400]And god damn cat piss.

Any program that tries to download/install something and doesn't let me choose/see where it's writing to. It's my computer, I should be able to decide where stuff's installed to. Not you. And to make it worse you don't even tell me where you're putting any of it? Also start menu > all programs > some publisher > some developer > game Should be start menu > all programs > game, simple as that. Seriously, I'm not going to remember who published your game, I'm going to remember the game.

Gears of War installer. Never have I found a game that actually DOESN'T let you choose where to install it. I don't like it when 14GB games automatically install to my 30GB Windows partition.

When building my friend's computer, I needed him to help me put in the IO plate. Seriously, there's 2938 metal tabs on that thing either bending backwards or going into the fecking port.
Reformatting, then going to install the network driver and having it fail. "Connect to the internet in order to find the correct driver" BUT I CAN'T. GOD.
Beep codes.

When I open a program, click onto another, and the first program steals focus When I sync 400 files to dropbox, only to realise the folder they were contained in has something like an asterisk in the name, so NTFS won't see it IE losing all my passwords after a BSOD IE updates requiring an entire reboot Not being told there are even updates to install My Wifi card requiring to be unplugged then re plugged in for it to Work Safari when it runs fine for hours then completely locks up for 30 seconds because you opened your history Windows moving the recycle bin icon of its own accord Not being able to to touch system stuff because TrustedInstaller said no Having to actually restart my Mac to apply updates. They won't be applied if I simply choose to log off or shut down.
When I'm recording a video of me playing a game or whatever and then windows does something like "oh man, yuo hav 2 install update lololol!" when I'm just about to press enter or click the middle of the screen while the "reboot now" is selected. I'm serious, it happens to me all the time.
