Don't you just hate it when...??

You just summed what I've been feeling these days. I've been working on a TCRF article on Need for Speed Underground (still unpublished), and 80% of the time I'm searching for that game on Google I'm tripping on Need for Speed Underground 2 results. That sucks because, if you use something like -"need for speed underground 2", you exclude many legit "need for speed underground" entries because they also include "need for speed underground 2" somewhere on the page.


Another thing that pisses me off: YouTube's laughable search engine. You try to sort the results by upload date and it ends up sticking some of them up its orifice. You try to go beyond page 2X and it may simply say that there aren't any more results to be shown. You can filter by short (<4:00) or long (20:00>) videos, but you're screwed if you need to find something between these figures. I often avoid using it, using Google with site:youtube.com instead.

- Don't you just hate it when you have to file some government/tax paperwork...
And despite having kept LOADS of documents you received over the years (because you are so paranoid of dumping something that could be important)...
... The ONE document you need is one you cannot find anywhere...
And so you have to try to phone different branches of organizations that all look the same because they use fancy words, try to find the right way to communicate your request, find the right opening hours to get a response, have to get another document to get that document, and so and so on...

- Don't you just hate it when you try to play a Windows-based PC game from the 90s?

- Don't you just hate it when you have a great and inspiring idea...
And then your brain suddenly forgets it a few seconds later?
But you remember it was awesome?
And yet your brain decided to forget it?
(kinda like something I wanted to write instead of this!)

Don't you hate it when you log off your game but forget to save? or even worse accidentally corrupt/delete your save data of that game?

Don't you just hate it when you see a really funny joke on twitter, and you're about to like/retweet it, but then you notice it's from that dumbass Dory account (or any of the countless others that post nothing but stolen jokes)? So then you have to choose between spending the time to hunt down the original post, or just forgetting about it altogether. Plagiarism is gross.

-Don't you just hate it when government paperwork has tons of options you have to choose between but they all sound the same but they are LIKE TOTALLY DIFFERENT because of a different choice of fancy words??
"User friendly interface". Have they heard of it??

-Don't you just hate it when you are walking on the sidewalk and there is WATER sprinkling from a balcony in a dirty splash, because of some overflowing flower pots or something?

-Don't you just hate it when there is almost nobody in the supermarket aisles but a LONG queue at the cash register?

-Don't you just hate it when there are many cash registers at the supermarket but only one is open most of the time? Why did they bother building those others, then?

-Don't you just hate it when most escalators that go UP are the ones that stop working most of the time? ALWAYS happens at the mall I visit the most.

-Don't you just hate it when you are searching for an image on Google, but the ones you find are either too small or have a terrible color quality?
