I get disproportionately angry when "pause" doesn't pause for like 3 seconds.

EDIT: Was talking about bluetooth headphones, but the stuff y'all listed is infuriating too.

I click pause, nothing happens, I click pause again, the video stops and starts.

Fuckers.

I swear just reading this spiked my blood pressure

Website scrolls

Laptop goes flying out the window

I have a mouse with a scroll wheel. I just can't comprehend why half the time the website scrolls in the opposite direction from what it's supposed to do if I flick the wheel too quickly.

I hate the credit card terminals at TJ Maxx/Marshalls specifically because of this. They have noise and visual feedback when you tap but it's always a few seconds late. As a programmer, that shit makes me want to track down whoever wrote it and slap them.

Is is disproportionately low? Because there is no upper limit to the rage from pause not being instant.

The pause plus all the streaming services adding shit over the image really pisses me off when I stopped it to read the letter the character is holding and I can't tell what it is because stopping at the right time took four attempts and then it has some shaded gradient over the screen.

Yeah, when one click is interpreted as "show the UI", but the step back when you miss some frames you want to look closer at is longer than the time it takes to hide the UI from no activity. And then you do pause it at the right time finally and the fucking video player goes, "oh you paused it, time for me to display other shit in front of the background jokes you're trying to read or the frames of nice butt you're trying to appreciate".

Shit like that is why I've been quitting certain streaming apps.
