Honestly, when a work problem is too annoying, I open a new tab and go to one of about 4 sites, HN being one. I stop when I notice I'm doing it, but it's often reflexive. I'm giving my brain a little hit of endorphins to offset an annoying real-life problem. This cycle could easily end up vicious. Now, pardon me, I need to go back and deal with that bug.
