With that in mind, we've come up with some helpful Windows error messages you can put up in real life so that no matter where a person is, they can experience the soul-smacking feeling of inadequacy that comes from a machine lording it over you.
You could, for example, post this helpful message on the door to the company or school cafeteria:

Some of the real Windows error messages need only minimal tweaking to make them useful in other contexts, such as letting people know you're away from your desk temporarily:

Theoretically, you could apply the above warning to other types of stacks, like a stack of pancakes. However, scientific research has shown that the concept of "too big" does not apply to stacks of pancakes, so use this error message judiciously.
We hope this helps you in your quest to annoy the world, one person at a time. And if you can provide evidence of your mission in the form of a photo, you might win a prize. The funniest photo featuring one of these signs will win a $25 Amazon gift card. So print one out, hang it up somewhere, snap a photo, and post it below by Tuesday, February 28, 2012.
