Mine is someone crinkling a potato chip bag. God, how long does it take you to get a chip out of a bag? (And its kinda different potato chip bag)

When koopa shells are thrown at me >:cWhen people don't admit they're the one that's wrong in the argument.
Now, to be fair, I build web applications for a living and I am by no means a zen master. However, I take pride in my work and I expect the same basic qualification from every other coder on the planet. I realize this is code and mistakes happen, silliness even happens. <!-- Go ahead, call me ugly in the comments -->, I understand. I'll even laugh with you. That stated, if you would have ran, just once, through your application, you would have realized that it was either annoying, god-awful to use, or downright impossible to complete. I'm talking about websites that have sign-up forms with broken submit buttons, broken links to critical information, displays that show the amount I owe you to 40 decimal places (float doesn't even go that far dude), databases that take 15 minutes to run a damn query (college transcripts), web pages only built for internet explorer and all the damn job forms that put a 'resume' upload box at the bottom of the page, then delete your previous form entries with random gibberish if you use it (I just spent 40 minutes filling that out and you just deleted it all, congrats, I hate you and I hope you suffer an unnatural and cruel 40-minute-long death). I am particularly livid when I come across these pages from government agencies and big 'blue chip' companies who obviously have the economic capacity to do vastly better, but willfully, if not deliberately, choose to build an ass-backwards web application.
