This is the essence of 99% of my frustration with computers (smartphones especially) anymore. I find myself literally shouting I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO DO THAT at my devices. I grew up hearing the platitude that computers only do what we tell them to do. I wish that was true!

With GUIs we will never have that as long as there are no realtime deadlines. The most frustrating thing is when you tap something milliseconds after the GUI element changes underneath your fingers, triggering the wrong action.
