Don't you hate it when... (Spoilers)

Something catches on fire, but you don't notice until half your fort is in flames?

You dig RIGHT into the glowing pit?

A human trade caravan comes right in the middle of an invasion and you get blamed for it?

The interruption spam when you set only soldiers can go outside?

your dwarves spend 23 hours each day eating, sleeping, drinking, or holding parties?

5 goblin ambushes turn up, and your legendary axedwarf decides that he would fancy a drink?

You get a mandate/mood request for something you can't possibly produce?  (e.g. glass on a sand-free map)

Your hunter decides that because the wolf went behind a tree, he should go stand next to it and whack it with the crossbow?

You suddenly realize that you have *no* food/drink left, because some link in the chain got canceled/suspended?

Your message log is flooded with things you don't care about, making the important stuff go unnoticed?  (see previous)

You realize that your grand construction project is one tile off from where it should be?

Your hunter runs out of arrows, and figures, "What the hell, I can bludgeon this hippo to death!"?

Your Dwarves hump like rabbits, leaving you with 15-20 children that never seem to grow up, forcing you to rename your fortress to "Neverland"?

You forget to lock the door to your new goblin stadium, and your fort is suddenly full of angry gobbos?

Your first notification that you've made a mistake channeling water is when you get "dangerous terrain" notifications?

A kobold appearing just inside your fortress entrance makes your retreating dwarves turn around and head for the incoming goblin army?

You can allow or stop your dwarves from eating these mushrooms, but it's entirely optional and doesn't turn Dwarf Fortress into Dwarf hookah-smoking pad.

When you dig a looooong miningshaft, and the miner stops mining at the end of the looooong shaft, walks back to get a drink, then walks all the way back to start mining, only to realize he needs to eat just as he reaches the end of the miningshaft, and after he has eaten and returned to the miningshaft, he takes a break?

When u place furniture, and the dwarf placing the furniture stands on the wrong side of the newly placed furniture, and starves to death cause he blocked himself in?

When you realize you should have made a little defence?

When your ambushed by Goblin archers at your fortress entrance and your front hallway is nice, long and above all... straight into the main center of dwarven activity.

When your dwarves run outside into a siege to pick up all the neat stuff.

When your storage rooms get filled with x(Pig Tail Sock)x's and other junk.

An ambush occurs just as you were finishing the vital part of your defences. Without which leaves you completely vulnerable.

You play the 2D version and fail using a flowing river and a aqueduct.

Kaypy:Adamantine in a poorly defended fortress is the royal equivalent of an unclaimed sock on a battlefield.

When your dwarves whine about art defacement?

When your legendary armoursmith gets caught in an ambush?

When your champion in plate mail somehow gets a red sparing wound
Optional part: then heals it down to a broken wound before going insane and butchering half the fort with his weapon, causing the rest to berserk.

Your dwarves all decide that your safe water source isnt good enoug anymore and all decide to drink next to the cute cuddely monster carp?

Someone on Adventure Mode throws you into a pit that you can't get out of?

Although I still had fun grabbing goblins in my mouth and dragging them in before biting off their arms...
