Gah. I don't know why it gets to me so much. And whenever I get hugely pissed off it can always be traced to something not working like it should -- getting lost because the map is wrong, an argument because words were not understood like they should have been, machines and technology of all kinds not doing what they're supposed to. It's just going to get worse, the more reliant on technology we are, isn't it?
Thank you for your sympathies; it's nice to know that other people get frustrated, too. :-)
I know what you mean about technology. Many's the time I nearly burst with rage at my messed up internet connection (which is fine now that we're at a new house). Technology is supposed to be efficient and make our lives easier, but apparently it can't be designed in such a way that it actually, you know, works on a regular basis.

And the more dependent we get on it, the worse it is when it fails to work. And whenever that happens, I always think it's the beginning of the Terminator scenario, where machines are starting to rebel and take over. :-)
Speaking of messed up internet connections (okay, well, sort of), I've taken to copying EVERYTHING before hitting Post, Submit, Send, whatever. That way, when the intarweb screws up and loses my comment/email, I've still got it on the clipboard, ha ha! Try to screw me, will you??!? *copies post before hitting "send"*

Unfortunately, it probably is. >:(
