What's the most frustrating thing that has ever happened in-game?

Mine:

- this one happened today. I was playing my legacy family. my second gen's wife was pregnant. I never experience crashes so i play for hours without saving. During this particular game-play the wife had a baby, finished two novels, and the older son aged to a toddler. i was JUST about to save and quit for night when .... the freakin power goes off!!!! I sat there for five minutes, so ticked off. now i have to do that all again.

- this one happened pretty recent. i use FRAPS for taking screenshots since windows 7 won't do it. I was playing gen 1, taking pics of a wedding my founder was having. saved and quit some time afterward .... and realized i forgot to run FRAPS. therefore the wedding was documented! grrr. I had to get inventive by throwing a House Party in formal gear and stage a wedding for my blog. *face palm*

what's your's?

When I spend hours on creating a sim, and then when I'm working on the clothes and go to Athletic, it crashes. And of course, I didn't save.
It always crashes on Athletic and I have no clue why.

When they miss their carpool.
I have one lady who was so close to a promotion, and I really wanted her to have that promotion so she could move on with her life. I had the use toilet action qued up for her, but then her boss decided her bladder has priority #1 so she kicked my lady out of the toilet, the car pool came, but I wanted her to use the toilet before she goes to work so her mood would be better, the second toilet was nasty, and my lady is a neat freak, so she had to clean it first, and by the time she had used it and washed her hands she had missed her carpool by a minute (and gotten an anxious about sink moodlet to degrease her mood even more), and by the time she got to work, her work performance had degreased so much it took another full work day to get that promotion.

My biggest argh moments are dead babies. I work hard ensuring that some son or daughter of the main family gets married and gets pregnant, then I move them out, buying them a very nice house. Sure enough the baby is born, but a little while later the baby no longer exists and in the family tree it shows up as deceased.

It doesn't happen often - maybe 10% of the time - but I've seen it many times and it drives me up the wall.
