Why I hate computor

Dear Photoshop,

Stop showing me this dialog!

your mom couldn't complete my request because SHE'S an error

From experience and googling, I have noted the following possible actions that bring up this dialog:

  1. opening a picture
  2. closing a picture
  3. saving a picture
  4. looking at Photoshop
  5. not looking at Photoshop
  6. having an old version of OS X
  7. having a new version of OS X
  8. installing a brand new copy on a brand new computer and trying 1–5 for the first time ever
  9. existing

This is like that facebook error you get when you try to do… anything, but that’s a free website, not an overpriced program running on an overpriced computer. Those things I kind of expect to work better.

 

BONUS COMPLAINS

Dear WordPress (moar like TurdPress amirite),

OH CRAPS NOW YOU CAN SEE THAT MY PASSWORD IS *********

When I check “Remember me” on my own home personal computer, that is privately used only by me personally at home, it is because I do NOT want to have to log in 39485934875 times a week.

 

A-AND FINALLY

Dear people-who-should-know-better,

Stop using IE6!

you have more than enough java googles

OK, LAST ONE, FOR REAL

Dear Firefox,

Why must you take so long after I “quit” you to actually go the hell away?

Because I’m using Windows, right?

 

NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: A few of these have fixed themselves. I have Photoshop CS4, which doesn’t do the annoyingly vague “Program Error” thing anymore. A-and I don’t think I get the “Firefox can’t quit me” thing as much, but that may be because I’ve given up on using my home computer and go right to bed after closing the browser. WP still logs me out every other day, and people are still using IE6, so most of this post is still valid.
