I hate when I miss-click and accidentally open the wrong program from the dock. I must wait for it to open before I can close it.
It's obvious it is excited to be used and I hate crushing it's little soul. So sometimes I will click around and type some "notes" before closing it so it won't think its launch was in vain. Some of the "smarter" apps will pick up on this and get put out by my "childish antics."
*Sigh* Oh well,.. you can't win them all.
