technology goes wrong? Specifically, mostly, on computers when you're using it and all of a sudden something happens and the screen turns blue or black and a load of random numbers and/or words fills the screen? There's probably a specific term for it (or perhaps not, as I'm probably the only wimp that this scares the crap out of so nobody has been bothered to invent a 'phobia' word for it yet) but I stopped using my laptop for a month once after this happened to me because it seriously made me feel on edge and queasy Confused. I'm better when it happens now but I still don''t like it and instantly close my laptop lid if it happens. I'm probably the only freak that feels this way when it comes to this though, aren't I, lol?

I just sigh resignedly. "Yet another computer fuckup" I think to myself as it goes through the ritual of rebooting and checking its disk to see if it melted.

Honestly, a machine twatting itself is of no more significance than a pile of stones that falls down. Less, really, as turning it off and on again puts the pile back up.
