Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

When a page or UI loads half a second before you click so you end up clicking on something else

Ughh I fucking hate when this happens.
I get that you can't load everything at once, but put some placeholder stuff there so the link I'm about to click doesn't shift halfway down the page a millisecond before I click.

I remember hearing a lot about "responsive design" right around the time it started becoming impossible to click things. Never wanted to learn more about it, but i think that's the culprit.

I loved the internet when all html was made in notepad. It was just so pleasant.

Happens to me excruciatingly frequently on the youtube homepage.

The mobile YouTube apps are the worst for this. Especially because the "back" button is really an "escape" button, so trying to just swipe back to where you were is impossible

Youtube on mobile has gotten really horrible for this.

I click on the single comment that's being displayed, to open the comment section, and it changes the video that I'm in the middle of watching to a new timestamp, then switches the comment I clicked on for a different comment that just happens to have a timestamp right where I had clicked on the previous comment before it changed.... Happens at least 1/3 times.
