Software installers.  Worse, operating systems installers.

Especially ones that work just fine with your pointer until the first

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.

*Yes, Fedora, I am looking directly at you, you vile, festering, soggy pile of crap.
