              Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    Tiny little ridiculously small "keyhole" ("a**hole" more like) browse/file input boxes in Windows, why can't they at least be resizeable?

                    The height of absurdity is reached with Windows environment variable setting, specifically for PATH, where you get only one line to struggle with a huge long string of pathnames. Why on Earth can't they have a more user-friendly table-based input form for PATH?

                    And in File Explorer, there are acres of blank space to the right, but file names longer than about five characters are truncated.

                    I'll stop now, before I get really carried away - Whole books have been written about Windows Annoyances.

                    (and Unix is just as bad in its own ways)

                      People who stare. Specifically those who stare and don't divert their gaze in an appropriately short period (0 seconds) when spotted doing so, and who start again after you thought you'd already dealt with by a full face return stare*.
