I'm pretty sure we've all read the 'What's your favorite Windows error message' thread? To make it even, and to prove that Mac's are in fact, not destructiable.... What's your favorite Mac error?

Mine: Something about plugging your USB device into another port as the one I had it in could not power it. Not really an error, but it works.

Not really an error on my Mac's part, but I'm gonna say when Firefox just suddenly won't load a page. I then have to quit, start using Safari, and just wait a little bit and hope it works. (The little "loading wheel" in the upper right hand corner just won't spin.)

Why was everyone putting their input into the favorite Windows error then? I don't think they enjoyed the errors either?

Yes, I agree. That's why I created the "What's your favorite Windows error" thread. But I respect the fact that IceCreamMan wants to keep it fair. I just haven't had a single error with anything on a Mac, so I felt I'd make fun of Windows a little.

The most annoying thing I've come across is when the Finder locks up when it's having trouble with a network drive.
