I was recently on a trip with the devel team and I saw a lot of things that bugged me; which in turn bugged the team when I complained about them. Most of them were related to how we interact with things.

This series is dedicated to BAD usability. I coin them usability exceptions. Not exceptional as in good, but bad in the software development use of an exception. When something goes wrong in you application you throw an exception. This means that things did not work properly.

When we throw a usability exception, we are saying that something went wrong in the design of that item.

I hope to be throwing exceptions left and right to point out how we can make technology in our world more pleasant to interact with.
