I'll start off with one, Being upset about a breakup that happened hundreds of years ago.

Edit 1:

  • Heath death of the universe, Death of the sun, etc, does not count. I feel like focusing on this is an overused point.

Edit 2:

  • Loneliness does not count. I feel like we all know immortality means you'll miss people and lose them.

Being asked your birthdate in order to view a game on Steam, and the year dropdown not going back far enough.

Date pickers that assume you have a 5 digit birth year.

I once entered an extremely far back yet technically plausible birthday there and steam just wouldn't accept it. I remember thinking "what if Kane Tanaka wanted to check out this steam game, you just wouldn't let her?" (RIP by the way, she was the last oldest person whose name I learned. They change too often)

Or not being able to play a board game, because it says "ages 9 - 99" on the box.

Worse still, no manual entry of the birth date, so it takes ages to scroll down and select the year.
