I really really REALLY hate applications that steal focus.
I was in the midst of writing a message to someone that was fairly long
& involved, while at the same time installing an upgrade to zonealarm in
the background.
All of a sudden the zonealarm installer popped up a dialog asking me if
I wanted to restart my machine ... on top of tbird ... at the exact
moment I was about to press enter. Since I wasn't really paying
attention to the screen, and the restart dialog defaults to YES, I
simply pressed enter and my machine began to restart. Obviously I lost
the message I had been typing for the past 10 minutes.
I really wish app developers would get a clue about how to write their
programs.
