Sunspots
I am almost certain that my body emits some strange sort of EM radiation. It's the only possible explanation for how every computer I use on a regular basis inevitably fails in bizarre and spectacular ways far more often than any typical computer would.
Not only did my previous computer's hard disk completely fail without warning about a month ago, I had to have the graphics card in my replacement (work) machine replaced about a week ago because it was defective. Now, it looks like I have either a bad hard disk or bad RAM in the new machine as well, because files are randomly getting corrupted. As a bonus, certain programs just refuse to run properly on this machine for no obvious reason!
Even if my machine's monitor starts rotating in midair and projectile vomiting (quite a feat for a monitor) I suppose this is still an improvement over the good ol' DOS days. But am I the only person who doesn't trust computers? Even my iPod doesn't work right sometimes!
EDIT: Okay, this is the craziest VC++ error message I've ever seen. It's even better than the INTERNAL COMPILER ERRORs I get on this machine sometimes.
