Clothing changes must be made with care proportional to the number of people surrounding you. The more formal and crowded the event, the greater chance of accidentally or carelessly:

1) Dragging the wrong outfit onto yourself; mis-clicking 'suit' and actually grabbing 'slave' instead.

2) Putting on a new outfit only to find you've neglected a significant part, such as pants.

#33? When you go to save that really cool outfit, and you want to put it all in a folder, you'll forget to save several attachments with it and end up looking through your inventory for something called "object"

#36 The chance of the sim that you are in crashing doubles every minute that you build without saving your work.

if you take something small out of your inventory to edit it, it will invariably fall into the floor!

This is also true in RL. Unfortunately, you can't turn on a beacon to find it easily.

#37 The chances of you entering a horribly wrong number in one of the position fields doubles for every minute you've spent building that really complex object. You will spend the next hour trying to find said object which is sitting at the bottom of the ocean on the sim border.

#38: the object you are looking for is actually called object, and is never alone.

There is always an invisible prim infront of what you want to edit


That's down to tiny invisible metaverse life forms that move them at the crucial moment.

#39 No matter how many times you check your boxes which are for sale, for the items they contain, someone *will* IM stating they didn't get all the parts. :)

You will forget to be in edit mode when rezzing a large prim heavy build at least once

#41 No matter how many times you check your items for sale, after an upgrade at least 10 of them will have permissions on them set back to copy/mod/transfer. :rolleyes:

#43 you never click on the right prim first time out.

#44 Sandboxes wiped at 3:00 a.m. and p.m. will be filled to capacity by 3:15 a.m. and p.m. Goguen first.

#45 The actual usability of any gadget you build is inversely proportional to how obvious you think it is to use.

#46 The best way to cause a casino to appear in a sim is to buy land in it yourself.

#41b - No matter how many times you check permissions, at least one will end up with the wrong perms and you'll get IMs from customers who can't modify that prim attachment like you promised.

*sigh* Two extra hours work Tuesday for this very reason, then last night's problems reset everything AGAIN.

Well, sure... no-one actually uses their sex balls... they're just put there to give visitors something to do when the parcel owner is offline/elsewhere (maybe playing with someone elses sex balls)

47. The chance of someone clicking your XCITE invisible pelvic attachment in a PG public area rises 5000% as soon as everyone in the immediate area has taken a collective breath and is silent, and can thus trace the 'talking object sparkles' to their origin with a 99.9% degree of accuracy.

48. 95% of the immediate area will select Highlight Transparent the moment they hear said talking object.
