The Download Hostage Situation

The existential horror of waking up to check if your massive download finished overnight, only to find it's been sitting there, politely waiting for your confirmation like some digital sociopath. That 30GB file—probably a game, development environment, or Linux distro—has been at 100% for hours, but refuses to complete without your explicit blessing. The look of pure, unadulterated panic is the universal response of someone who just realized they could have been using that software seven hours ago. Nothing quite matches the rage of discovering your computer has been holding your download hostage while you slept, requiring just one simple click that it absolutely couldn't make on its own. Technology: making simple tasks unnecessarily complicated since forever.
