When you are at a cash machine in Valencia, Spain, which gives you the option to choose between seven languages (Spanish, Catalan, Valencian, Basque, English, French, German), and you spend so long wondering which language to choose that your timed out and your card is returned.

When the second time you try, you quickly choose Valencian, withdraw your money, and then put the card back in a third time to choose Catalan, just to see what the difference is between the instructions in Valencian and Catalan.

... when you change your computer's operating system, and web browser to your target language and mess it up so much that you have to do a complete restore. Then you do it again to see if you can get it right.
