I don't fucking know why I can't eject USB hard drives. I installed the SysInternals apps, and best they can tell me is that Dropbox is fucking with the drives. I explicitly told Dropbox to not fuck with USB drives. I don't know who's lying, I just want whoever is fucking with the drives to stop fucking with the drives, OK??? OK.

It's even more fun when you're trying to do something with a file on a network share. There have been so many times where a user goes "it's telling me i can't save this because Suzie is using it", i close Suzie's abandoned session, and the file is still magically in use by Suzie. Why? Because the dialogue is broken and the file is actually open on John's machine. I fucking hate windows.

My favorite is “Location Not Found”. It’s amazing that both Mac and Linux seem to do a better job on SMB than Windows.
