Aspie meltdowns caused by computers!

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone get so frustrated with your computer that it causes you to have an angry meltdown?

Today I was on the Sims 2, and I built a really big community lot what took me 2 hours to make, and it was really good aswell (well detailed and everything). Then when I had just finished it all, I pressed ''quit'', then I remembered that I forgot to add something to my building, so when the message saying ''do you want to save your game before quitting?'' came up, I quickly pressed ''no'', absent-mindedly thinking it meant ''I don't want to quit'' - and then I could have kicked myself when I realised I had actually logged out of the game without saving 2 hours worth of building up a massive community lot! What I was building was really good - it was something to do with my special interest, and I know full well now that if I built it again, it wouldn't be as good as the first one. It didn't cause me to have a meltdown, but it caused me to cry out of irritation, and wishing I could somehow get it back. But because computers are so ANNOYING, you can't get it back. I wish computers were made to be considerate! What made me mad was I had wasted 2 hours out of my day, and I could have been doing something else in those 2 hours. The 2 hours wouldn't have been wasted if I had saved the game. I just feel annoyed, because I had built the whole thing spontaniously - I even built a carpark outside of the building! Also a courtyard, and a multi-storey building, with modern posh flooring.....

Anyone else feel like throwing your head against the wall in desperate anger and frustration caused by a computer?
Sometimes I do when the internet disconnects itself (even though it says ''connected'' on the status, and the signal says ''very good'').

Yesterday I spent all this time leveling up my character in Black Prophecy, only to spend my points on useless stuff and I can't respec. I am annoyed to say the least. I'm a level 9 and yet if I were to create a new character (start as level 6 after skipping the tutorial), I would have better gear than I have now.

Gaaak, try having one in the middle of a contract networking job because Mac OS has 2 different
share check boxes that conflict and give you a notwork. That was really bad, I'm just glad the client didn't
see it.

Yes, I recently lost all my Firefox bookmarks (3 times in one week actually, first being the far worst), Oblivion saves (100+ hours of work) twice in a couple months, various car and computer related .txt & spreadsheet files I have made (dating back up to six years).

I honestly want to get as far away from computers as I can. I never lose work working on cars, I just can't afford to do anything to my car at times. I can easily install a couple hundred dollars worth of parts in a few hours. With computers I can spend a couple hundred hours on a few bucks. Stress just isn't worth it though.

Yep. Computers are a leading cause of meltdowns.

Yes, today i was make a drawing in GIMP (i can draw better in my pc then on paper), i had finally gotten the most complex part done, and was about to save it for the first time, and my computer freezes before i can hit save. I invented and subsequently fired several new insult as my pc. I hate windows.

And that is why there's something called backing up.

I also get really annoyed when I'm on Youtube and the red thing catches up with that other red thing and makes the video keep on pausing (I don't know what they're called or how to describe them but I hope you know what I mean).

The only thing I get annoyed at is my D-Link modem, I really want to shoot it sometimes.

Printers. I decline to have one.
