Things I shouldn't have to reboot yet still have needed to recently:
  • Cell phone -- This one is borderline, because it's a smartphone. I wouldn't mind so much if it obviously froze or bluescreened, but sometimes it just stops getting signal until I reboot. That's pretty lame.

  • Microwave -- The microwave that came with the apartment is cheap, underpowered, and prone to ignoring input until I power cycle it. Very lame.

  • Alarm clock -- Recently my clock has taken to ignoring the alarm settings and just going off randomly, creating false negatives AND false positives. Last night, after fighting with insomnia some more, I finally got to sleep at 3:30. And then the alarm started going off, despite being set for 7:30. Snooze worked, but otherwise I couldn't turn it off, since it wasn't on to begin with. I finally had to power cycle it. Lame to a degree beyond my command of the English language.
