What is more irritating is when programmers provide you a progress bar to provide you some reassurance about stuff happening as it should, then NOT ASSOCIATING THE PROGRESS BAR WITH ALL THE STUFF THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN so once you get to the end you think: yay! I'm almost done! HAH SUCKER! Now we start doing more stuff with that other stuff and we're not providing you a progress bar for this bit so back to guessing if it is working or hung up!
