I hate the sound of my laptop fan, because it means the processor is throttling now, and I'm limited by the hardware. I'm going to hate using a fanless laptop because I know it's throttling all the time...

  I know it doesn't throttle _all the time_, but I'm going to worry about it all the time anyway.

I also find it useful to react to the laptop fan sound, which is often an early indication that something is wrong.
