    The one that does my head in when I spend hours deep diving forums, finally find someone who had the exact same problem as me, and the only reply to their post is them saying “never mind, I figured it out.” MOTHERFUCKER! WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US YOU FUCKING DOUCHE-CANOE!?!

      I found a more painful thing, searching for the issue and only finding your own post from 3 years ago with no update on how you fixed it

        I used to buy random CDs from a secondhand store. Found one obscure bit of techno labeled Amixiam - Dream Frequencies. Quite possibly just some guy’s personal work, packaged with a modicum of professionalism. No internet search has ever turned up a damn thing, and I no longer live on the same continent as that thrift shop.

        Much later, I was going through my old CDs, ripping them anew for modern codecs and decent bitrates. CDex filled in the track names automatically. A database recognized the disc! Someone out there had this information! And seconds later I realize that someone was me, sending the data to CDDB automatically, when I had ripped it the first time. I played a fifteen-year brick joke on myself.
