    Posting Pet Peeves

    Does anyone else ever have this happen to them:
    You type a long post/reply & then goto highlight/fix something & you hit the wrong key (like the delete key) & lose your whole post?

    (Maybe it's my age, but I do that a few times a week & it really pisses me off!!

    Any others have a one?

    I do that consistently. If I use a less than standard size keyboard it happens more frequently.

    I have the back and forward buttons on my mouse at my thumb. I accidentally hit that all of the time. More of an annoyance than pet peeve.
    Right. Left. Right. Left. I will rape your personality. Pummel you with my own philosophy. Strip you of your self-integrity. To make you all just a bit like me. I said right, left.

    It used to drive me nuts to hear my father making noises with his dentures.
