Software installers. Worse, operating systems installers. Especially ones that work just fine with your pointer until the first reboot, then decide they know not of this strange "mouse" of which you speak and force you to use the "obviously no one will ever have to navigate this by keyboard! hah! hah! And if they're trapped without a pointer *certainly* they won't need the 'expert options' dropdown to work!" interface instead.
Even better: Linux boxes* that randomly decide that no, really, I've never seen this "mouse" of which you speak and proceed to start some loathsome, hateful piece of "hardware detection" software on *every* subsequent boot until *finally* the settings stick.
Until the next time we get to repeat this "fun"
Of course after I rebooted after the install completed, the pointer worked fine again.
HAH! No, it's just *waiting*
Hate. --s.
*Yes, Fedora, I am looking directly at you, you vile, festering, soggy pile of crap.
