I Get Angry At My Computer Sometimes
Not usually with the computer, though.
Usually with the application-writers and with their publishers for not writing proper instructions. Especially when they confuse "up-grade" with "up-date" to describe merely tinkering with the screen appearance and controls to make the thing more difficult to use and sometimes much scrappier in appearance. Yes, Mr. Gates and BT Internet, I do mean your lot!
And often with myself for a silly mistake or inability to understand a particular programme.
I though creating an MS 'Access' database bad enough, with very few of its multitude of terms, commands and manoeuvres being even vaguely intuitive. Now though, trying to teach myself CAD I have given up in utter frustration, attempting the 3D-modelling the makers of CAD programmes expect you to use. Luckily, the TurboCAD I use does allows direct orthographic drawing, whereas some, like Fusion and Alibre, expect you to produce a pretty 3D-effect picture first as the source for the derived workshop drawings.
