Things that annoy me
I've got a lovely Smartphone. It does every thing very well. (yesterday I beamed contact details over IR for the first time ever). However, some things it does too well. Sometimes I go to dial a number and the message "SpeedDial was broken and has been repaired" comes up. This throws me every time. Why was it broken? If you've managed to mend it, why bother telling me? Is something in my machine breaking SpeedDial so that it has to be mended?
All these questions run through my brain each time I have to press OK to clear the message. I'd love to have been at the meeting where they decided on this feature:
Programmer 1: "And then, after it has mended itself invisibly, it tells the user what has happened"
Programmer 2: "Bravo"
Very confusing. Of course there is probably a very good reason why it does this which is lost on me. But I'm darned if I know what it is.
