guslargh! I'm getting angry at gunzip. Why is there no default "just decompress"?
Why doesn't my shell detect that I'm having a common problem, and send me a link to the solution? It should be easy to set up a Google search. It shouldn't be too hard to make a collection of common error messages, and troubleshooting pages for them.
Why can't systems be a bit more reflective? (this applies even more to the streak-marks problem I wrote about before, and also to processes that never give up, leaving your machine hanging... do they need to internalize the notion of user utility?)
