frustrating times

yes, i want to hear one or some of your most frustrating programming stories, problems that you thought were huge but ended up being some small stupid problem that you should not have made.

as for me, last night, I was trying to make an exercise program from a book, but I wasn't getting the correct output, and I thought it was this whole huge problem of trying to figure out a formula for converting hex to decimal, then I read the assignment again, and it told me right in the book, but applying their hint didn't work! I was still getting the wrong output. oh, a logic error i see. I corrected it, different output but still wrong! WTF!!!!!
then, a half an hour later, i see that i didn't initialize a variable that i was multiplying and adding to.

but once I fixed that, it was all good. and they were happy. yay.
