Not quite the same, but, having to write a massive geography project out in word that was due the next day (yes, left until the last minute), it was boiling hot and I had a splitting headache!
I swear to god, it has put me off MS Office!
Failing that, trying to get ISDN to work in Linux a couple of years ago, GAH!!
Attempting to expunge all trace of McAfee/Network Associates from our network. Tedious, soul-destroying grind, especially when their management software's ****ed.
Ctrl+Alt+Del when BSOD appears or when an application crashes in XP and it doesnt end task when u tell it to, so annoying
Losing three weeks worth of 5 day a week coding for my employer when the dev box hard drive died and the backup CDRW hadn't written properly, rendering it useless.
I cried
"In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?"
Trying to sort out KT133E/Soundblaster Live 5.1 patches so my machine:
a) doesn't crackle whilst playing sound
b) doesn't lag or refuse to buffer when playing AC3
c) doesn't require me to turn off DMA on my DVD-ROM
d) doesn't screw up stpgnt CPU idling
e) doesn't corrupt when copying large files
f) doesn't BSOD on using my CD-RW
So far it's about 4 out of 6 of the above. Need new soundcard tbh, but am waiting for a new motherboard with soundstorm.
Reinstalling Windows and all the other required software. Multiple times, thanks to MBR corruption. Wound up doing this half a dozen times inside the space of 2 months.
Installing linux on a partition with windows on first 10gb of the drive a while back ............aaaargh.

Installing the complete KDE suite (All the optional stuff etc) on QueenAdreena's pc only to find 3/4 of the way through that there was a fault with gcc that required gcc to be updated which of course is also a lovely long compile, all in all, took about a day to install kde3
ph33r my toothbrush, for it is made of SCROTANIUM
Had to download a pdf reader @ 0.5kbps to open the email that had my broadband information in (line had been activated), that wasn't fun although it did have a happy ending
Flashing a 9700 pro bios on my 9700 np and not checking first if i have a spare PCI card handy incase it went wrong.
It went wrong and all the pc would do is beep
Then searched for 2 hours for my old Matrox mystique PCI videocard, then realising i didnt have it anymore (Was in my sisters pc)
Had no pc, and couldnt play any games for two days while i waited for the day my dad opened his shop where he kept some spares, found an old ATI rage PCI card there, had to pretend i was coming to visit him so had to stay at least a couple of hours (Yawn!)
Then took it home, and thank f@!~ it worked!!
phew wont try that again in a hurry.
