This happens to me a lot these days - search for something, website/app lists some stuff one of which I’m interested in. But as soon as I move my finger to tap on it, the website/app loads something else and move what I wanted to tap up or down. I unintentionally click another result and get annoyed I have to do the whole thing all over again.

Not often, but those "agree to extra terms to continue viewing the content that you were already looking at for 0.9 seconds" pop-ups (cookie walls and the like) sometimes pop the agree button exactly under where I'm clicking, or activate the button with spacebar that I was just using to scroll down a page

Always wonder if it is a valid legal defense if the pop-up can be dismissed faster than it is possible to read them, but I'm afraid of the potential global consequences if I were to challenge that
